Well, in the Western Horror Camp cycle, he probably falls a little further 
from the Western part if I had to hazard a guess.

Me, my game is not very western.  There is some there, and it defiantly 
comes up, some session more then others.  But I run over 50% of my stories 
either near the mighty Miss or back east just so I can have a bit more of a 
Victorian feel so I cannot say that Western is the top of my pyramid.

Does not mean that I see any problem with Western, or that I think they 
should drop everything for a "New York: Stateside" book, just that my game 
is like that.  I'd hazard a guess to say I am not the only one 
however.  Seen enough requests for a Europe sourcebook for that.

problem is, if you wanted a horror oriented Europe game with Hucksters and 
other ABs, and were not going for the "High Steam Age" style, You would be 
unsatisfied with Castle Falkenstien.  I like to run a Victorian Horror 
game.  I like Deadlands's approach to Horror. It is easier to say "what is 
going on in Europe in Deadlands" then figure out how to convert everything 
to Falkenstien.
