Tribals-Indians Lawdogs-Sheriffs Posse Military Remnants-Cavalry Raiders-Outlaws, Comancheros, Gangs, also indian warparties Traders, Caravaners-Wagon Trains, Tinkers, Snake-oil salesmen Survivors-Settlers Some of the other similarities: Safety only in strong communities, outside the communities very dog eat dog. Very Poor technology except firearms Very isolated areas, wilderness (or wild wasteland) You might look at some old westerns or frontier movies to come up with some game ideas. Some I would recommend; Major Dundee, Revenant, Silverado, Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns, the Searchers, Jeremiah Johnson, Rio Grande, Fort Apache, lots more. Also try and look at some other period movies for ideas: King Arthur, El Cid. Just my thoughts.
