Trifletraxor Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Supernatural Western is a source book for BRP. The Book is actually a location called Devil's Gulch and is designed to be placed practically anywhere. The town is fully described as well as the personalities that populate it. The book has many special rules for wild west gunfights, chases, and weapons. Everything you need to run a western campaign. The book has dual descriptions, so that it can be used in an historical campaign, as well as a weird west campaign. There are Hex Masters, Mad Scientists and Snake Oil Hustlers. The plan is to include 3 full adventures plus several adventure seeds. The author is Troy Wilhelmson. To be submitted by July 2008! Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.
PK Games Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Put me down for that. Finally, Deadlands with a usable system and sounds like a better setting. Ive always like historical (horror or otherwise) settings that didnt diverge form real history too much. Quote
sladethesniper Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Sounds good...especially if I can put right into a Call of Cthulhu one shot (or mini campaign). -STS Quote Vhreaden: Blood, Steel and Iron Will is here!
Skunkape Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Supernatural Western is a source book for BRP... To be submitted by July 2008! That's really good news! Quote Skunk - 285/420 BRP book You wanna be alright you gotta walk tall Long Beach Dub Allstars & Black Eyed Peas
paladin3970 Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Sounds like a cool setting, what's the status on this? Keeping in mind that I have been away from RPGs for awhile, I recently read some stuff on DeadLands - sounds like a way cool setting. That being said, having something in that vein for BRP would be great. Quote
Trifletraxor Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 It has been submitted to Chaosium, and now waits for art and editing. I think this will be edited by Chaosium, and not published as a monograph, but can't say for sure. SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.
paladin3970 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 cool, hopefully it will be available soon then! Quote
Publius Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I agree, it is a great smash-genre choice. I'm looking forward to it as well, and ver-r-ry interesting about the Chaosium angle too. Quote
Bane Root Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Sounds very cool, I was heavily into Deadlands when it first came out but I don't think those rules meshed with the setting at all. Also the setting was a bit silly in places rather than weird. I think a weird west setting would work really well with BRP and I would definately buy this. Quote
caspur Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Love to see it so it can be played as a straight western without the "Weird" although I may want to run that too, just want the option. Was very excited cause I ran a one-shot Boothill a few months ago and loved it but the Boothill needs a skill system and thought BRP would be perfect for it. Quote
PK Games Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I am also greatly interested in this setting. I just hope it isnt as "altered" a historical setting as Deadlands was. I think horror works best (and thus supernatural) when it isnt an everyday thing. Having entire undead armies fight in the civil war kind of makes the supernatural sort of natural or at least acknowledged. A Brisco County style setting is what Id like to see. Kind of like Wild West Call of Cthulhu. "There are Mi Go in those hills." Quote
adamsmith Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 any updates? This is a setting I would love to run Quote
pulpcitizen Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 any updates? This is a setting I would love to run This does sound like a potentially very intriguing setting, so I echo what adamsmith asks - any word or update? Quote Very slowly working towards completing my monograph.
AndrewMorton Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 You should havea look at 'Worlds of Cthulhu' the magazine for Call of Cthulhu - issue 2. They have a great article on Playing Call of Cthulhu in the wild west. It includes new skills and rules for quickdrawing weapons. Quote No Gods - No Masters
Trifletraxor Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 It has been submitted, so it's in Chaosium's pipeline. They usually don't tell anything before they publish though. I would guess before the summer, as only two other monographs was submitted before it, but who can tell? :beetle: Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest.
Simlasa Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Yeah, BRP western... wierd or not... would definitely interest me. I'm in a regular Deadlands game these days... but the setting seems somewhat tongue-in-cheek and tends to encourage the group to get pretty silly a lot of the time. I'd appreciate something a little less wild and a bit more... gritty. Quote
Skunkape Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Well, I was planning on running a Savage Worlds/Deadlands wild weird west campaign, but if the Supernatural Western book is good enough, I might just run it using BRP.

jaysun Posted November 29, 2009 Posted November 29, 2009 Any new word on this supplement? Quote "It's taken me all these years to realize that the Laws of Time are mine, and they will obey me!" - the Doctor
Trifletraxor Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 Nothing. But it was submitted a long time ago, by the author who wrote the first "official" supplement for BRP, so it will probably arrive given enough time. SGL.

Trifletraxor Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 Finally some news about this one! From the rlyeh rapport: DEVIL'S GULCH, a Weird Western setting for Basic Roleplaying, will be announced any day now. The book is virtually ready for the printer. So it's not dead!

Agentorange Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 If anybody interested in a weird west setting gets the chance they should watch this: http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2008/05/the-shadow-of-chikara-a-haunti.html saw it in the early 80's and it made a big impression on me. Quote
seneschal Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Another good inspiration for this sort of campaign would be Louis L'Amour's Haunted Mesa. It is set in the modern day (but could be re-set to any time) and takes more of a science fiction slant on things, but it is certainly eerie enough. And L'Amour was a master storyteller. Quote
MrJealousy Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 If anybody interested in a weird west setting gets the chance they should watch this: http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2008/05/the-shadow-of-chikara-a-haunti.html I got this off amazon for 4p (plus postage). The picture and sound quality is terrible but I've seen worse... and it's a brilliant story so worth watch!

The picture and sound quality is terrible but I've seen worse... and it's a brilliant story so worth watch! Have you seen 'Valley of Gwangi'? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065163/ Apparently, there's several versions of the movie on release, some of better quality than others ( sounds like you got a duff one, or at least one that had been played to death ) As you say a brilliant story. Valley of the Gwangi ? A good monster movie all round, lost valley's, man eating dinosaurs, evil gypsy crones, what more could you want ! Also worth looking at if you get the chance is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099704/ A mixed bag of horror themed western stories. made for TV I suspect but parts of it are genuinely spooky and unsettling. One of those films you catch on late night TV that turn out to be so much better than you thought they would be. I've got rather a soft spot for this one. Quote
MrJealousy Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Grim Prairie Tales... sounds intriguing. And then I did a search on google and came up with the Vacuum Vagina! You trying to get me in trouble :-) Quote Mr Jealousy has returned to reality!
