Hoping to get some feedback friends.
I'm putting together a game to pitch to my table but i'm on the fence about what system to run it in.
THE CONCEPT
>In an alternate America where the South won its independence, but rapidly faced secessions of its own, The Monroe Republic is a hillbilly Texan puppet state in the Missouri Ozarks
>The constant border raids and bloodshed have led to all manner of bandits, freaks, spirits and cryptids terrorizing the hollers and towns
>Enter the Abel (sic) Squadron, 13th Company, Monroe Rangers - an underfunded band of shellshocked die hards to give their life to put down the wicked things that roam
Feel wise, I want it to be evocative of Hunt: Showdown meets the Witcher, a series of small 1-3 shot adventures that are both very lethal and require smarts / creativity.
To that end, I'm leaning towards my comfort zone of just hacking together Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, and maybe Pulp Cthulhu. Maybe a dash of Friday Night Firefight.
That said, I wanted to see if anyone had experience with / feedback on:
>Deadlands
>Dogs in the Vineyard
>Any other western style games I'm not thinking of
Also, general Southern Gothic / Weird South Thread
