You might take a look at Shotguns & Saddles or Wild West Cinema.

A friend of mine recently created an RPG called Dead in the West, which looks pretty fun and freeform from the Quickstart Guide I read. Not sure whether it's been released yet though.

Savage Worlds has Deadlands, but that may be slightly over your page count request.

Quote from: Omega;1078673Wasn't there a Gurps western book, or rules on how to emulate one?

Yes, there was a GURPS wild west book and like most of the 3e GURPS-era historical sourcebooks, it was pretty damn good.  I have it and have occasionally used it for some supplementary content to my Wild West Aces & Eights campaign.

GURPS Old West is outstanding. Rolemaster Outlaw as well.
I've had physical books of both for almost 20 years and both are dog-eared from use. Use them with my classic West rules as background.

Fantastic, can't recommend enough.

Never read the rolemaster one.

One of my players was on a huge Rolemaster kick at one point and was collecting all the books could come across.

RM: Outlaw is a damn good book. It covers alot of details of the era and gives alot of pointers on how to RP in such a setting. It also gives ample timelines and even some maps. If I recall right one was of Deadwood. The other was of a train. Which is a rarity in western RPGs! There was also a big section statting out personalities of the era and a little history on each. In some ways it is a better book than Gurps Old West. But G:Old West covers alot more of the gritty side and covers some details that the other does not. Combine the two and you have a really good source for running sessions in the era for any RPG.

I remember playing Boot Hill, had a fun time with friends, 3rd edition pushed things into the RPG realm.

My experience is that any generic system with basic gun rules will do Wild West without any problems. You just need to be able to shoot, talk, ride a horse, maybe some tracking and wilderness survival. All pretty basic stuff.

For instance, I played in a Wild West game using Feng Shui, and it worked very well.

So really, you can just pick the system whose game play has the flavor you desire.

What he said.
Not only Deadwood and the Train but also Custer SD.
I've got many Rolemaster books and I think Outlaw is one of the best written.
