Ideas for a western mud that don't suck:
You're under seige at the Alamo.
You're laying seige to the Alamo.
You're fighting off an indian invasion.
You're fighting in an indian invasion.
Look to the pen n paper rpg Deadlands for clues. Obviously adjust out the
undead and crazy stuff if you are trying for more realism, but the western
theme and setting should work just as well without the fantasy bits.
Classes? Pinkerton Detective, Gunslinger, Marshall, Outlaw, etc.
Weapons? six gun, bull whip, rifle, shotgun, etc.
You will piss somebody off if you have indians, perhaps one of the reasons
it hasn't really been done. The wild west just wasn't very politically
correct.
