Goodman Games

It was suggested by a friend years back that I try and make a fantasy-western. I went at it with the intent of blending current D&D fantasy elements with the deep mythology of the Wild West. I tried to mold it into a realistic, believable scenario (believable for a fantasy setting, anyways) wher...

I'll drink to that.

Mr. Goodman, have you ever considered an open call for your DCC line? I think a lot of writers would be eager to jump on something like that.

The "Wizards of the Coast" seal. Ba-ZING!

Harley raises some good points, but there is more to being evil than being evil-evil. There are anti-heroes, generally evil folk who do good deeds for admittedly selfish or even evil reasons. A party of anti-heroes could be a charismatic evil character, along with several loyal followers, and a few ...

I love the storytelling potential of a group of anti-heroes, out to slay some terrible evil not out of straightforward righteousness or honor, but rather for revenge, out of personal ambition (or revenge), or simply to prove only they deserve the title of ultimate bad@$$.

I've heard of Spellslinger and Richard Moore's Far West , but they both tried too hard to adapt every piece of Tolkien-style fantasy into a cowboy setting. Elves as natives and dragons as frontier tycoons? Naaah... You can't graft the Ameri...

Let's see a cross between standard D&D Fantasy with spaghetti western themes! *Chuckles nefariously...*

Hm, I wonder if there'll be any records set this Christmas? Psh, I don't get up at the time anymore. Not even for Christmas. Baby JC can just lounge for another four hours.

Cheers, mates!

I'm interested in sending a campaign setting proposal to Goodman Games. Along with the query letter, do you require samples of the setting (such as brief descriptions of new races, prestige classes, etc.)?
