Synopsis

Get on a train.  Head east.  Get on a ship.  Travel further east, in style.  See some wonders of the world.  Find what was lost.   Find where home is. How hard is any of that? Well, for Jake Ranger, pretty damned hard. The world being a wild, crazy mess from a global altering event called the Shattering doesn’t help much.  Nor does being a famous folk hero. That last one really sucks, because people always run up to famous heroes and beg them for help with all their problems.   Then there are the actual outlaws and monsters.  They don’t help much either.  Mostly they just get in the way and make everything way worse.  And in a world that is so screwed up decades after the Shattering, there is a lot of variety to both outlaw and monster. Then there are the more civilized, (read: sane), non-human folk, and good old humans as well.  They all get along just spectacularly.  Totally best friends, on every level, for life. Of course getting to the east coast is only half the battle.  Once there, he must contend with the so-called “civilized people.”  Then there’s the ship ride; pirates and sea monsters are a thing too, after all. Should have read the brochure. But when the chips are down, the bad guys are winning and the wild winds of chaos are blowing, it helps to have a fighter on your side.   Even if he is a little wild. After all, that’s not really a problem.  That’s what beautiful women and lots of gold is for.  Proper motivation is always key to success. Welcome to a Steampunk, Wild West, Victorian era, Lovecraftian infested, fantasy, shoot ‘em up world.  Complete with a slow build harem of badass beautiful women, crazy adventures, and fun, monstrous villains. Welcome to the world of Wild Steam. Do enjoy your stay.
