What are some good systems for running a fantasy/western, as

Deadlands (Savage Worlds)

There is a 3.0 D&D supplement called Sidewinder that took the fantasy and made it western. One of my favorite pieces of art from the book is a Dragon and a gunslinger standing in the street during a Mexican standoff. I haven't looked at it in a while but it might be up your alley.

Deadlands if you like grid combat, playing cards and savage worlds.

Dogs in the Vineyard if you've got a good group that can handle it.

Deadlands. If you know Savage Worlds, you know Deadlands, it's the ancestor of Savage Worlds and slightly more complex. Even if you don't, it's a very straightforward system to learn. Deadlands Reloaded is a remake of it in the modern SW system and significantly less complex.

It's a great system with some really nice twists and a cool as fuck Weird West setting.

Does anyone have any advice for running a fantasy/western, regardless of system? How does one keep things fun and interesting?

Anybody got any stories of games they've been in?

You can take the Deadlands setting and apply it to just about anything (though, SW really is an okay medium ground for most people who actually bother to give anything non d20 a try).

Dogs in the Vineyard

Savage Worlds. Combine Deadlands Reloaded with the Fantasy Companion and you got pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

Cartridge conversion of cap-and-ball revolvers were a thing, you know.

Cylinders don't look like it though.
