The books are beside each other: Haunted West Corebook, Famous Sheriffs & Western Outlaws, and Exodusters, with a black keyboard above them and a full cup of coffee.
It’s a full-on writing day, & I’m diving deep into my #HauntedWest scenario, Blood Moon Over Jericho. The outline’s done, handouts, key players, & plot beats locked in, so now it’s all about fine-tuning the mystery structure & weaving the weird with the historical. What are you writing today? #TTRPG

Hey folks! Did you know I’ve got a Patreon, Chris Spivey (Author)? It’s my creative playground, where I post ideas, mechanics, deep dives into history, and other gamy goodness.
I’ve just revamped it with virtual gaming tiers, which means… #TTRPG #Patreon #HauntedWest #GameDesign

Goodbye, old friend, Weller 12. 🥃 One of the two bottles I snagged for my birthday, you’ve served me (and countless friends) well. Tonight, as I dive into writing #HauntedWest, we finish the journey together. Let’s ride! 🤠✨ #writerlife

To witness the Phantom Stage was believed to be a definite omen of death, signaling that the viewer or someone close to them would soon pass away, solidifying its place among the most enduring and terrifying ghost stories of the Wild West. #HauntedWest #GhostStories

Haunted West Corebook opened up to the Zombie art (by Kurt Komoda) near the alternate history map and a history book with a Darker Hue Studios coffee mug near the keyboard.
Nailed down the Paragons, & focusing on the weird & alternate Reconstruction history for this one. The goal? To show just how rich, strange, and spectacular the world of Haunted West is. The hardest is narrowing down my ideas! There are so many amazing & horrific historical things. #HauntedWest.

Taking a #HauntedWest writing break to dive into #OuterWorlds2! I’ve got a barrel-aged stout, 2 hrs, & a galaxy to get lost in. As no remastered Fallout 3 or New Vegas are coming soon, let's hit the stars! Snarky dialogue, moral chaos, & space capitalism! Making a character & then … adventure! 🚀🍺

Haunted West Corebook opened to a gunslinger killing a zombie horde near a notebook with a Sears Catalog (1897), Book of the American West, several other western books, and a bottle of High West Bourbon.
Switching gears from Arc Dream to Darker Hue, it’s #HauntedWest time! I’m crafting a demo scenario, surrounded by books, bourbon, and possibilities. Do I go full-on alternate history with historical figures & a heavy dose of weird west? Or more high-action pulp? What would you want to see? 👻🤠 #TTRPG

Ever wanted to hear me run #HauntedWest? Well, saddle up, partner! 🤠 For Genreless’s 200th episode, I wrangled a posse, gave a quick 101, & took them deep into the Weird West. A place where history, horror, and heroics collide. 💀✨

Jane Fonda as Cat Ballou in the Western Parody (with musical beats) Cat Ballou (1965)
Roger Moore as Beau Maverick in the Western Satirical Comedy Maverick (1960)
Our Paragons are icons of thier own Western Genres: Lola Colt, Beau Maverick, Cat Ballou, and James West. 🌵🔥 But can they survive a journey into the Haunted West, where horrors both mundane and supernatural stalk the edges of a thriving Reconstruction?👻🤠

Breakfast (eggs, toast, and cantolp) with a hot cup of coffee near he Encyclopedia of Western Lawmen & Outlaws.
Work's been nonstop and I haven't had zero time to write this Haunted West scenario burning away in my mind. It's a working breakfast: coffee, research, and getting these ideas down. Weaving in the historical details & mechanics & melding it all with the weird. #GameDesign #Writing #HauntedWest

Haunted West art drawn by Kurt Komoda
It’s a #HauntedWest morning. I’m expanding the alternate history timeline & the metaplot. The past is stranger than you remember, and ancient horrors lurk in the aftermath of the war as Reconstruction booms! I’ll be running a game soon. Hope your lanterns are lit, and your guns stay loaded. #TTRPG

Haunted West: Demon train battle with art by Kurt Komoda
Look at that beauty! My new custom #HauntedWest mouse pad has arrived, and I love it (and so does the dog). It’s tied to a scenario that’s been living rent-free in my head (and Google Docs) for a while. Time to clean the desk, set it up, and keep the creative vibes flowing. #WriterLife #TTRPG
