[@WXer], Sounds like what Wikipedia says about Deadlands. I like it, although I'd like to add that: 

1.) Only the Keyblade can destroy Heartless permanently; other weapons just destroy the Heartless' body but allow it to reform and regenerate elsewhere.

2.) Heartless would be appearing [i]everywhere[/i] on the Dark West's Earth; no amount of blockade or trade embargo will prevent that. So Europe will be facing troubles by then.

Other than that; I like it.

It is indeed based on Deadlands, along with Hard West and Sunless Sea. 

For the first point, I envisioned the Ghostrock bullets just being flat out more effective than regular bullets. In effect, they would be stronger against Heartless as they would be against everything else. But yes, I agree that they'd only be temporary solutions to the Heartless problem. 

As for the second one, I wasn't sure how well developed the home worlds would be in terms of story but yes, Europe would also get Heartless infestations but blame it on illegal trade ships that originate from New England, Canada, and Nuevo Espana. The trade blockade would be more of a formality during the present but the governments have to maintain it in order to reassure their population.
