This is what I have so far...Think "A Million Ways To Die In The West" meets D&D or Savage Worlds.

Intro:
Welcome to dawning of the era of steam power. Long held beliefs in magic and wizardry are a thing of the past in is this highly fantasy based western action adventure. Just remember people die at the fair.

Before you standing upon crate, a rather weathered looking old dwarven man on the dock harbor waving his arms in a wild manner to attract the attentions of any passing by to join his crew to the "new world."
"Attention!!!
All able body adventures, inventors and just plain treasure hunters!
The dawning of a new age is upon us all.
Now with that all the magic rubbish is behind us all.
With all the wondrous powers that have come from
all the science and technology of today,
we know where the true power lies.
STEAM and GUNPOWDER!!
My dear friend's the time has come to harness this great power and move westward!
The lands of of untold treasure and dangers across the dark ocean waters!!"

Welcome to the new savage world of wild towns, and vast wilderness teaming with angry natives and dinosaur like creatures. All of those things would love to eat you...or at least beat your head in. But, lucky for you find yourself in a small settlement known as Madeira Junction the last current town charted on the map. The last stop of the steam rails. It's not the most glamorous establishment with only a few hundred residence. They're still building on to the rails in a westward direction, much to the dismay of of the local tribes.
Here you will find many dwarven miners breaking their back day in and out in hopes of finding their fortune in gold and disgruntled local natives that would love to do nothing more than to tie you up in the dessert for a dinosaur to eat your head. Everyday is a struggle and yes like in the real American old west there are literally a million days to die.

SO that's what I got so far...

Seems real interesting

Thanks!
I was thinking 5 players.
Races:
Residents of the town.
Human
Dwarf
Gnome
Naives
Medium Humanoid like Elf or Drow?
Outlaws
Orc
Human

Is this gonna be like a tabletop rp? If not I would suggest leaving the races open. I mean, I'd be interested in joining but I don't have any gnome, dwarf, or orc characters. I don't know what a drow is. All my elf characters are more civilized than a tribe(And are kinda weird for elves) and what few human characters I have aren't made for fantasy settings.

Yeah, it would would lean towards tabletop.

Ok, well then I don't think I'll be involved. I don't do Table top rp's.

Gives me a very deadlands vibe! I can't really commit to a rp with multiple people, but if you made a group for this, I'd be down for joining and getting involved in some 1x1's with characters there.

I think some 1X1 in this universe would be fine! It definitely has a lot of Deadlands inspiration.

You got room for a Wabbaloq in your RP?

I swear to the Fuzzy Gods of Fury that I'm the toughest ball of three foot fur that you have ever met, a true brute! Not to mention a skilled craftsman and Alchamist.

I'd be interested, but I've got no elvish, orcish or dwarfish characters... Also, I've got no idea how tabletop games function.

I'm thinking that maybe it would be better not to go tabletop style with this, seen more people are interesting more of a free form style.

This sounds like a lot of fun, do you still have room for people?

It hasn't started yet, I wanted to see what interest it may bring before investing time into coming up with a plot.
But I'm happy to see that people are excited by the idea.
