Far West – Wuxia/Wild West mashup RPG on Kickstarter

I love it when I can post something that bridges the gap between the Asian Pop Culture and gaming divide in our coverage. Far West is a transmedia project from Gareth Michael Skarka and T.S. Luikart which is..well, perhaps I should let Mr. Skarka explain it himself.

…yeah, fucking awesome, right? Incidentally, Skarka is also the chap behind the recently announced Buckaroo Banzai RPG…so right now he’s my favorite dude in the world. Skarka doesn’t namecheck Kim Ji-woon’s The Good, The Bad, The Weird but that’s the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw it on Google+ today.  Far West is in the midst of a Kickstarter campaign which runs through Aug 25…lots of goodies at all price levels, so if this holds any interest for you whatsoever I urge you to throw GMS a few bucks and make this happen….although he’s already past the $19k mark with a month to go.
