What it is about

Insane Asylum. Psychiatric Center. Sanatorium. Psychological Hospital. Whether labelled a state school or hospital, these strange institutions were used to house people with all manner of unpleasant traits. Back from the edge of the frontier, these places hide those people who couldn’t be managed by family. Make each asylum unique and interesting as a place where your desperado or lawman must deal with occasionally. These basic building blocks of the Wild West sit as a quiet reminder to conform. You can apply this system-agnostic roleplaying product to any game system built for the Wild West (like Deadlands, Through the Breach, Tall Tales, Wild West, Boot Hill, Aces & Eights, Down Darker Trails, Werewolf: The Wild West, US Marshalls, The Devil’s Staircase, Quickdraw, Rifts, etc.). We suggest you give each asylum 1d3 rolls on this table to give each institution / population a bit of color. This Roll Percentile list has one hundred possible results in this format: Roll result: A brief description of an interesting feature of this old West asylum. Example 101: The asylum is a collection of 2d6+4 wood and/or brick buildings.
