Cowboys in Fort Worth

[Captain Wheelgun]

Very nice -- pass along congratulations.

I'm a maybe swipe the original thread title, if no one objects -- there's a story about "vowboys" waiting to be written, I think.

Hmmm, I'm picturing a band of renegade monks....

If no one else will help... And if you can find them... Maybe you can hire... The Pray Team

Congrats to you and yours, PawPaw!

I have no objection; it was a typo, but it would be interesting to see what you have in mind.

I'm sketching something part William Gibson, part Charles Stross, part Mad Max, but not so dark/nihilistic, in a late '50s/early '60s "jetpunk" (for lack of a better term) setting, with a somewhat hotter version of the Cold War being fought "somewhere else" (as in somewhere other than Earth, although reachable from it).

The vowboys will roam the Downrange, helping keep soldiers and settlers alike away from the hotspots the radpushers have made in the ongoing war. My main character will be a Thud driver, though, and there will be one of those is-he-a-good-guy-is-he-a-bad-guy types who I can say much about yet...other than that nuclear ramjets will be involved.
