What is Weird West, and how does it fit into Wyld West

Weird West is a genre that takes the familiar grit and lawlessness of the Wild West and infuses it with the strange, the supernatural, and the unknown. It is a world of dusty trails, frontier justice, and six-shooters, but also of eerie legends whispered around campfires, shadows that move on their own, and things lurking just beyond the edge of the firelight.

In Wyld West, the frontier is not just untamed. It is haunted, cursed, and filled with secrets. This is not the history of the world as we know it, but a world of our own creation, inspired by the real West and the Victorian era of the mid-19th century, but shaped by forces beyond mortal understanding. The Caldera, where our events take place, is a land of opportunity, lawlessness, and danger. Players will face not just outlaws and lawmen, but also the things that claw at the edges of sanity, the kinds of nightmares that have kept travellers awake in the dead of night for generations.

There is power in The Caldera, some of it ancient, some of it angry, and all of it dangerous. A stranger in camp might not be what they seem. A simple bounty hunt could turn into a desperate struggle against something that should not exist. Whispers of the old ways, of curses and creatures best left undisturbed, travel from settlement to settlement, growing with each retelling.

The Caldera is a place where folklore is more than just stories, where something unseen watches from the darkness, and where those who venture too far into the unknown may not return the same if they return at all.

So grab your gun, keep your wits about you, and whatever you do, do not stray too far from the trail after dark.
