1KM1KT Free RPG Community

Hi all!

I just wanted to present myself to the typewriting monkey community before I lurk too long on the forums to forget about it.

To keep it short, I am a swedish (yes, blue flag with yellow cross, blond girls and *bleep*-ing ice ages every *bleep*-ing winter) gamer with a nasty habbit of starting up RPG-projects every once in a while. I never seem to get many of them finished/playable though.

I joined the 1KM1KT because I find you lot to be fantastically creative and I have enjoyed many hours reading games from the archives here. In addition, you all seem like a nice bunch of people so I thought: What the hell, let's make some new friends!

Currently I am working on an rpg set in a wild western-ish environment, but I try to avoid mentioning the west since I want to have the options to broaden the idea a bit without upsetting those expecting historical facts just because "the wild west" happens to be mentioned. Unfourtunately, I am stuck at game mechanics at the moment. I have a hard time figuring out how to bring out the spagetti western feeling so if anybody has any tips in that department I would gladly hear them!

Best regards,
Lejonel (or "Erik" if you ask my mother)

Hi Lejonel,

Maybe gunslinger is a general, non-geographic term that could be used? What is it about the spaghetti westerns that typify them for you? I have to be honest, although I'm in the US I was never a big cowboy aficionado so without knowing what you want out of it, I won't really know how to help. That said, the setting does have it's own brand of charm.

If CA comes around, he'll list off about half a dozen games to give you ideas.

In the meantime I'll throw out and hopefully it'll give you an idea or two.

Wild west just refers to the american west portion of the victorian era. Good to have you, and hope to here (or read) more from you.

So you thinking Clint Eastwood style action (ie Two Mules for Sister Sara/the Good, the Bad and the Ugly)
or more Tom Selleck style (Quigley Down Under), or John Wayne-ish action (the Bad Lands/ True Gritt)?

BTW; Welcome to the forums

Cool, and welcome! I'm an Oslo fellow myself, so it's nice to see another Nordic around here.

Välkommen!
