I’ll be trying for a fantasy adventure story told in the framework of a gothic western this year. The mood hit me, and I’m not sure if this had anything to do with the small handful of western RP’s I’ve seen since the release of 2016’s The Magnificent Seven or just a subconscious desire to write in a universe I’ve barely developed over the years. As the best frame of reference the setting can be generally compared to anime concepts such as Wild Arms and Grenadier with some aspects of the tabletop known as Deadlands and the film Dead Man from 1995. The plot is still forming in my head, but I’m going to just do it “guerrilla style” this time instead of roughly planning it like I did for my last attempt (a science fiction tale called “Crisis on the U.S.S. Eden”).
