* ''Shadows Of Brimstone'' is a Western-based boardgame where various stock Western characters venture down into [[DugTooDeep dangerous haunted mine shafts]] to battle {{mutants}}, {{the undead}}, [[OurDemonsAreDifferent demons]], [[AlienInvasion alien invaders]] and [[EldritchAbomination cosmic horrors]]. Notably, the locals have begun using a mysterious otherworldly mineral known as darkstone that has powerful-but-mutagenic properties, including opening portals to other worlds and times such as a dino-filled jungle swamp ruled by SnakePeople, a FireAndBrimstoneHell, or a dying alien world in the throes of a darkstone-powered [[ForeverWar century-long WW1 analog]].

* ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}'' features a lawless American West, mostly free from Coalition control (save Northern Texas and Iowa) but host to a whole mess of other troubles. It's all a self-respecting cowpoke or injun (whether tech- or [[MagicalNativeAmerican magic-inclined]]) or [[MonsterKnight Lyn-Srial Skyknight]] can do to take up arms and clear out all the scum -- [[FantasyKitchenSink cyborg prospectors, dinosaurs, lowlife banditos, cactus men, red skinned desert spirits...]] Speaking of, Mexico is pretty much completely overrun by vampires. The Canadian West is basically a northern extension of the American West but has its own problems such as [[BugWar the Xiticix hivelands]], [[HellOnEarth the Calgary Rift and Monster Kingdom]], and of course, {{Wendigo}}.

Weird West works often invoke horror tropes. Ghosts, zombies, vampires, and werewolves are common elements. {{Indian Burial Ground}}s, {{Magical Native American}}s, and various entities from Myth/NativeAmericanMythology (such as {{skinwalker}}s and {{wendigo}}s[[note]]even though [[TipisAndTotemPoles wendigos actually originated from the Great Lakes region]][[/note]]) also tend to show up as sources of supernatural strangeness. Expect the [[TallTale Tall Tales]] to be just a little bit taller in these parts. If the setting is more like a modernized NewOldWest, then expect to see more relatively recent [[OurCryptidsAreMoreMysterious cryptids]] such as {{chupacabra}}s, or UrbanLegends such as the [[RoswellThatEndsWell Roswell UFO and aliens]] hidden at Area51.

Alternatively, this kind of story may lean more on science fiction tropes. After the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_Wars Bone Wars]] linked the West to palaeontology in the public consciousness, having LivingDinosaurs or other prehistoric animals turn up in the region has been a popular option - the first known fictional instance of this is ''Literature/TheMonsterOfLakeLametrie'' (1899), although long before that, Thomas Jefferson was speculating there might still be mastodons lurking somewhere in the interior [[note]]Supposedly, he even instructed Lewis and Clark to keep an eye open for them![[/note]].

Added DiffLines:
* ''Literature/TheMonsterOfLakeLametrie'', a short story originally published in 1899, is a foundational example of the genre, and possibly the first example in fiction to propose that [[LivingDinosaurs otherwise-extinct animals might turn up alive and well]] in the West - in this case, a [[StockNessMonster live Elasmosaurus]] living in a remote Wyoming lake that may connect to [[HollowWorld the Hollow Earth]]. And then one of the human characters [[BrainTransplant has his brain put inside the monster's body.]]

* ''Literature/ShadowsForSilenceInTheForestsOfHell'' is essentially a wild west story of outlaws and bounty hunters set in a frontier region far from established cities, except the frontier is a shadowy ghost-filled forest.
