[DL] The Art of Spaghetti Western

["Michael Maguire" <mikejmaguire@hotmail.com>]

Hi, ya'all!

I was working on piecing together a couple adventures for a new Deadlands 
game I am putting together for a group of players (all but 2 of whom know 
NOTHING about the game, so it should be a fun mix).

At any rate, I was working on one said scenario and a couple chapters in 
looked at it and said to myself...  "Gee...  great scenario.  Too bad it 
looks like a great Call of Cthulhu scenario instead of one for Deadlands."

I run a lot of horror type games, and sadly noticed my spaghetti western 
elements to be lacking in the scenario design.  My solution was to give my 
self a fresh dose of inspiration, so I went out and bought a stack of Clint 
Eastwood movies:

Fist Full o' Dollars
A Few Dollars More
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
High Plains Drifter
and Unforgiven

I almost bought myself a copy of Tombstone, too (not Eastwood, but a good 
movie).  Anyone give me any advice on some other good films that really help 
to catch the Deadlands feel?  I was thinking it'd be good not only for me, 
but for any players who might need a bit of help getting into the whole 
spaghetti western environment.
