I'm curious to see if anyone would know of any random tables for things like encounters or setting details or other cool stuff for Wild West RPG settings.
As far as I can recall, neither Deadlands nor Coyote Trail have anything like that... does Aces & Eights? Any other game? Any place on the internet?

"Boot Hill Encounters" in White Dwarf #16
"The Taming of Brimstone", a Boot Hill adventure from Dragon #71, is mostly driven by a random town encounter chart.
I think the old Wild West game by FGU had a lot of tables.
The knuckleduster cowtown creator possibly?

I've never seen it though.
Aces & Eights has a lot of tables, though mainly around combat and character generation. There are 12 full page tables for wound severity for instance. There are also great tables of potential professions depending on character class.
I expect (though don't know for sure) that Kenzerco will come out with more setting, location and encounter type tables in the future.
Thanks guys; tonight since our regular game was waylaid, we ran our second session of our irregular Coyote Trail game. It went great, lots of fun!

Several recent issues of Knights of the Dinner Table have random western tables/articles. I think issue #128 (http://www.kenzerco.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_23_24&products_id=518) through #131 all have western articles/tables.

I've got it, and was going to post this. Man, what a great book.
