I had been wanting to do some kind of weird west game for a while and my group is already familiar with SWN so when I found out that as usual Crawford already came up with a better version of something kicking around in my head, I decided I’ll just use the ADZ setting with my players as greenhorn Cowboy initiates at first.

Has anyone here run it?

Any advice or ideas I should steal?

I’ve been thinking about creating a faction sort of based on The Line from the Half Made World books where it’s a cult dedicated to running trains on the old railroad tracks and they basically all have AI psychosis from talking to a VI or expert system in the old Albuquerque train station.

You guys ever wonder if “energy weapons” are attainable for the couple in Firebirds or is it more of a folie a duex situation? I mean Neal has said that the guy is the same character as from X-Ray visions so he’s not in his right mind already. I have always kind of enjoyed the doubt as to whether the song is about two losers in a sci fi world or whether they’re two losers sharing the delusion that there are energy weapons extant but as hard to acquire as a Pontiac Firebird.
