Very nice!  I have seen several gaming websites give very positive reviews, and that makes me happy, maybe more will hear about it.

 

Interestingly enough, going around the internet, Hero has a really good reputation still and is admired as a game company

I've bought it and waiting for the POD, very good, very well thought, easy to grab and play and can be expanded with the core rules of needed.

Skullface - The Phantom Pain from Metal Gear Solid. Would make an interesting character (at least the look) for a Weird Western or even Pulp game.

 

Really cool looking pic.   No idea what the reference is, but the look is definitely great for a Pulp or Pulp Western.

Technically would a Superhero Western campaign (Champions of the Old West) be considered a wierd west campaign? Just asking.

 

...which gives me an idea of a supplement for Champions/Western Hero...

Generally comic book westerns are low powered, and just basically normal westerns. Superhero westerns (Kid Colt, Two Gun Kid) are basically extensions of that, except that stuff like Indian Shamatic Magic and wierd one of the kind machines exist.

 

Othoe one can look at Steel Ball Run as both wierd western (it IS a part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure after all) and borderline superheroes. 

 

I don't have WH yet...so I can't truly say if Steel Ball Run is listed in recomend reading or not...

John Byrne did two (well read one) issue of Alpha Flight that took place in 1880s Alberta (have to relook) that would make a good weird west campaign - and the idea of his Great Beasts as well as Shaman and Talisman would ALMOST fit.

I say take a look at the various DC Comics western heros. Bat Lash. Cinnamon. Especially Jonna Hex.

 

Marvel has Two Gun Kid, Ghost/Night/Phantom Rider, and that is all I can remember. Ghost Rider actually begun as a pulp western character.

The HD files bundled with the Western Hero pdf have all the vehicles listed in the book as well as many of the NPCs found in the adventures etc. 

 

The Greatest Guns Who Never Were has the HD files of various fictional characters from movies and TV shows, a free download

The Greatest Guns of History has the HD files of the various real life personalities from the old west, also a free download.  Also included is a build of all the new Western-related talents in the book.

 

*edited: the talent builds are in the Greatest Guns download, no the Western Hero download

I should probably post this in Other thread, but...

 

Should there be a second The Greatest Guns Who Never Wear (Part 2, Electric Boogaloo)? If so, who would you put in it?

 

My list ..

El Zorro and his horse Tornanado.

The original western pulp character/comic book character The Ghost Rider.

Vash the Stampede.

Torchiro and Harlock from Gun Frontier (with a small note explaing about the far future versions of the characters as space pirate engineer and space pirate captain respectfully).

 

Who else?
