Setting
Style
Quasi-realistic, Pulp-style Action. "Mystery-Thriller," not "Investigation."
- Style: Heroic Realism (ATE2 p. 49)
- Morality: Heroes Wanted (ATE2 p. 50)
Theme
- Law v Anarchy; Order v Chaos; Civilization v Wild West; Liberty v Security; etc.
- Revenge: How far is too far?
Central Tension
Good people trying to survive and thrive on a lawless and wild frontier.
Expectations
- Shooting. Lots of shooting. Maybe an actual showdown or two.
- Action/Mystery, not "slice-of-life"; no cattle-drives, etc
- Expect some long-distance travel segments, but I don't intend to focus on that aspect.
