Default Re: Old West Sourcebooks?

@Hal: Those are all great suggestions. So great, I've looked at them already ;D

The Aces & Eights stuff is painfully awesome. I got a major case of the gottahaveums when I saw their leather-bound version of the campaign book. Unfortunately, it's out of print, and I'm not dropping $200 or more on an RPG book.

The Aces & Eights targeting system actually has me wanting to completely re-do the GURPS hit location system to be something more visually based, allowing for realistic scatter.

I've grabbed a few of White-wash city's sample pdf's in the past, and so when I get around to demo-ing this, I might use their stuff. I'm a very visual GM, so if I feel like something doesn't compromise the story or mechanics and it looks cool, I want to do it.

I haven't got anything from Foundry in a long time, but about six years ago I picked up a number of their models for my Serenity campaign. They are very nice quality for the pricing and variety.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I'll be getting the Knuckleduster books in the next week, and then see what other books I need to fill in the rest of the gaps.

@Trachmyr: Precis Intermedia has a Colonial expansion for their western series. I don't know what it has first-hand, but they bill it as being useful for role-playing anything from the Revolutionary War era to the War of 1812 and immediately after. It might be worth checking out, and they do pdf downloads, so it's not too large of a risk.
