I am starting a Hack of the Lord of the 5 Rings and changing the setting to encompass the Old West. I am using the Working title of Landowner of the 5 Ranches as a play on words. It is going to be a wild west setting, with a touch of weird. Animal Spirits and mysteries from a foreign land. This will have the Roll and Keep systems, with a wild west flavor. I am more that a month away from running Beta games. If anyone has ideas of things they would like to see or would like to help when it comes time for a shakedown that does not involve my local gaming group please let me know. Half of the reason I am announcing this project on the Boards is to hold myself accountable. So if I set up a game with a new system I am hacking I will have to complete it because of pressures. Thank you for the ramble and good luck and great games

I assume a showdown would be handled with dueling rules? And iaijutsu would become quick draw?

That's the plan. Iaijustu is a "shootout" with check-em-out, Staredown and DRAW phases.

So I have a few questions about the setting that may help you flesh out the world. First off, is it still set in Rokugon? If yes, and it is Rokugon with cowboy tech, how have the clans and entire government structure adapted to the advances in tech? If not, what exactly are you keeping from Rokugon? I ask because there is a big difference between L5R with a cowboy flavor, and Roll&Keep in a cowboy setting.
I have a few other questions but they are derivative of your answers to the first set.

This us going to be an American Old-West setting using the Roll & Keep system. I am taking the high level of the game mechanics but not the setting. Instead of CLAN -> FAMILY -> SCHOOL. I am having Heritage, Region, Learning's or Job. I manly picked the system because of the Dueling mechanic and working out from there.

Oooh, I like that. Though "region" feels a little geocentric, i wonder if "origin" sounds better
