And here I thought I was the only one who wanted to see a Western game. Of course, in the one I'm making notes, getting art, etc. for in my spare time is also going to have supernatural elements.
The main character could discover a town oddly empty...and find signs that someone was there. Investigation reveals hoofprints going one way...and perhaps only doing so at night...only to discover vampire cowboys rounded up everyone in that town for a 'cattle drive'
Perhaps the player would be a sherrif...and word comes around of a lone person killing all kinds of law-dogs. The catch? This person was unjustly hung by a lynch mob...and yet didn't stay dead. (More revenant and less zombie).
Not that you wouldn't use a lot of old Western tropes either like bank robbers, etc.
Perhaps a pirate game where you could become a pirate Queen while fending off the European powers trying to stamp you out. One could even have exotic locales, and monsters as possible resources/achievements. There could town-building elements. Do you build the barracks to train your people, or establish a brothel to boost morale? Perhaps make allies or engage in diplomacy and play the European powers against each other. Maybe seduce the wife of the French ambassador to gain battle plans...and if you truly have feelings for her, convince her to leave her husband with you.
