I'm running a game thats set in the wild west and I'm looking for faction ideas. what kind of factions would exist in a world with magic/monsters/tinkerers/banditos/etc...
so far I've got your basic "mages guild" thats considered pretty old fashioned in setting. your basic factions from the year 1880. a bunch o anti mage kkk equivalent folks. and a group beating PETA to the punch saying "monsters aren't so bad"

Shapeshifter rights party.
While they can pass as human, and enjoy the appropriate level of civil rights for their apparent race and social status, if they are discovered to be a 'shifter they are no longer afforded those rights...
Similar groups might exist for other "species" that can also blend into human society, eg. vampires.

Militarized black rights groups being secretly funded by Mexican proto-drug cartels in order to retake Mexican territory under the misguided belief they're getting their own country at the end of it.
Or, just the drug cartels.
Ethnic Immigrant Monsters from Europe +Asia+ Central America come to find employment on the railroads. So stuff like Sidh, Youkai, Feathered Serpents, etc.
