The Town

Generate a frontier town with a name, what it was built on, and what it is afraid of.

Generate a frontier town for a western or weird-western story: a composed name like Dry Gulch or Coffin Creek, what it was built on, where it sits between boom and bust, and what it is afraid of. Fields cover What It Was Built On (a silver strike thinning out, the railhead where the drives meet the track), Boom or Bust, What It Hasn't Got, First Sight of It, The Town's Reputation, and What the Town Fears. With the Weird West toggle on, the town's fear swaps from drought and outlaws to what walks after dark. The name carries through the rest of the pack. Use it to open a western one-shot, build a campaign town, or set the scene for a frontier story.

This generator creates: Town Name, What It Was Built On, Boom or Bust, What It Hasn't Got, First Sight of It, The Town's Reputation, What the Town Fears.

Example result:

Includes a Weird West toggle that reshapes the result.
