Didn't Deardlands: The Great Railwars generate the whole Savage Worlds universe? I think Deadlands: The Great Railwars is still available from Pinnacle Entertainment as a download. Never played that myself, but tried Savage Worlds for a swashbuckling game once and thought that it was great.

Yep! Free with dead tree purchase! : https://www.peginc.com/store/deadlands-great-rail-wars/

Or $5 alone : http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/56532/Deadlands-Great-Rail-Wars?src=hottest_filtered&filters=0_44489_1600_0_0

There's also a generic SW miniatures game that's a free download. Not sure where you can get it, but send me a PM if you can't find it!

Probably my fav too, the card activation makes for good solo with little change needed as it randoms it up! However, I thought the campaign experience rules were weak! I uch prefer the campaign stuff in LOTOW, but don't like the game....

Plus in GRW you get to role buckets of difference dice!

Funny you mention that, El Aguila. An e-bay purchase of 2nd Edition Boot Hill just arrived today and I look forward to reading through it. I've heard again and again that even after all these years it's a great system for Western gunfights.

If you go through the Wargames Illustrated archives (or old back issues) you can find a scenario for just that scene from the Wild Bunch for TRWNN...

its great and has a fun solitaire rpg module you can play with a character. So its basically a tactical minis game that can double as an RPG

Sorry for the late entry: Tombstones n' Tumbleweeds (TnT) from Precis Intermedia is a fun game!

For other possibilities, check out Eric Hotz's list of Old West game rules: http://www.erichotz.com/game_rules1.html
