What's the most American setting you can think of?

The American Revolutionary War for independence. There are so many facets to the war that most people don't think about- smuggling, stealth operations, spying, loyalty influencing, propaganda, Indian relations, negotiation, defending travel choke points, river patrolling, so much. If you live on the east coast of North America, you can actually play into the history of where you live.

Andoran from Pathfinder or Mutant Chronicles.

What's wrong with reloaded?

Nothing at all, I just wanted to be a grognard.

Shadowrun. The world is run by corporations and everyone has a gun

Interestingly, up to at the very least the 1812 war, it was a golden age for privateering as well.

Probably deadlands.

Definitely a classic.

Dont forget the bandit armies of semi-feral Appalachians! They looted basically any and every settlement they came across, loyal to nobody save themselves.

Old school D&D

>Travel to exotic locations and kill whatever you find
>Spend your dough on a huge house and become a big shot

Late 19th Century American West, mostly in the Rocky Mountains.

So far the party has dealt with Indians, Bandits, Banditos, Revanchist Confederates, Mormons, Wendigos, Corrupt Officials, John Wayne, Ghost Indians, Aliens, time traveling Nazis, Teddy Roosevelt, accurate Hell-Creek Dinosaurs trapped in a valley, and Methodists.

Good times.

Shadowrun.

You all know I'm right.

How did you deal with The Duke?

Best answer right here.

carefully

We didn't. He was just supposed to be a cameo in a town but one of the players decided to take a swing at him due to being drunk.

We then got our asses collectively handed to us in a fistfight, and a stern talking to about manners.

Well good, the only other right answer would have been that you had to help him in his own quest.

Exalted: First Age

Somewhat flawed superhumans trying to build a better world for mankind, despite the constant incursions of foreigners from beyond their borders.

Meanwhile the old rulers of the world are locked away and plot to return to power.

Our GM has hinted we'll see him again, so who knows.

At least we had the sense to run very fast from a guy who was basically Harmonica.

good taste desu

Just be sure to figure out quickly if you're in The Searchers, Stagecoach, or Big Jake.
If he gave you a talking to about your manners, it sure as hell wasn't Rooster Cogburn, or whatever his name was in Red River.

This is actually the best answer. The most American setting is unquestionably the Wild West, and the coolest way to do it is the Weird West, which combines folk superstition and magic with an otherwise fairly grounded setting.

You lose a bit when you go to the modern day, because Americans in particular tend to hate modern America for having lost so much of what made America cool in the past. The frontier spirit is what used to define the country, now it's mostly WWE-tier politics, soybean-based diets and bad television.

Real Fuckin' Rahoo.

Car Wars.
American Auto-dueling Association approved highway mayhem...

I thought it was the other way around?

Stephen King's The Stand.
