So I'm building a western game. I was originally going to use a modified pathfinder game to do it but I started over again when starfinder came out as its got much better rules for gunfights.
I basically just want to run a western game with fantasy elements (magic, orcs etc...) Thoughts? Opinions? I'm making good progress, the way starfinder handles equipment is throwing me for a loop but I'm figuring it out.
I realize there are more interesting western systems out there but I want to use something myself and the group are at least partly already familiar with.
I did this with pathfinder a wile back when gunslinger first came out and it worked very well. My advice is run it very casual. Your not going to get a dirty harry type game as much as a comical over the top wester. Idk about starfinder tho.

I don't really think guns and fantasy go together very well. Maybe if it's a really low fantasy setting. Maybe make one of the other races stand in as the obligatory indian tribe and use that as an excuse for weird magical shit happening. Probably not good advice for you, if you want PC wizards and other things, but I think it could be pretty cool

use deadlands reloaded ruleset for crying out loud

That's such a blatant rip of McCree from Overwatch. Are Blizzard suing them?
Starfinder is a much better choice, the rules for skirmishes and weapons are better than Pathfinder. The only problem I see is that without an industrial feel with steam engines it cuts sparse content down further.
