I'll be writing a Western themed HEX game in the next few days, and figured we should start a thread to start discussing what changes, what equipment, talents, skills, and all that other jazz will have to be done up for a western game.

For starters, if you're going 'traditional' Wild West, remove all the 'modern' equipment from the list. This might mean having to rename a few items to fill some gaps, but it shouldn't be too tough.

Wagons and coaches (standard stage and armored payroll). If you haven't seen the new "3:10 to Yuma," there's a badass armored stage with a gatling gun mounted on the back.

I think Indian- and horse-related equipment are pretty much taken care of.

I'm also thinking "giant painted rock."

I think "3:10 to Yuma" was an awesome remake, and I'm generally not a fan of remakes of classics.

Anyway, tou need animal husbandry, farming, and mining specializations. Might not hurt to pull in some of HP's social class stuff as well.

Rules for duels at high noon seem highly necessary.
