I made a Random Wild West Town generator. Everything from the town itself to what picture hangs on the walls of the saloon is completely randomized and so are all the many and varied characters. With billions of possibilities, you can keep having fun with this forever!!!

EXAMPLE GENERATION
Year: August 1884
State: Wyoming
It is an average ranch n cattle town which forms the center of a county inhabited by optimistic settlers.
On the way to the town on the path you come across a gang of outlaws led by a middle-aged tall somewhat fat Italian man who demand a toll from you for passing through their territory.
As you enter the town, you notice the usual idyllic and rough nature of western towns. People and horses pass by you going about their daily jobs and the occassional drunk blabbers senseless words on the sidewalk.
From the wooden facades, rough buildings and tent camp grounds on the main street and beyond, its clear that the town has been hastily built very recently as is common for boom towns in the west.
Mode of transportation
Despite its decent size, the town has no railroad passing through yet and is accessible only via horse and stagecoach. Thus without trains to take cattle across, the cowboy cattle drives continue as before.
Saloon
It is a medium sized rugged wooden building with a ground level and a cellar. There's a room at the back that you can rent for the night. The interior has a very posh appearance. The floor is spotless, the tables are well arranged with crisp new candles sitting upon each, the clean windows provide a nice view and even the ceiling appears to be tidy. It's clear that the owner nurtures the place like a professional.
The drinks are somewhat costly with only one selection. The food offering is overpriced and has a very limited menu.
The establishment is owned by an ex-bandit who is rumoured to have paid off his own bounty. He manages it with his wife. The couple are of Dixie descent.
If you attempt to make conversation with him then he will blabber some nonsense about a wonder medicine he sells that will make your horse as fast as the wind.
The place is absolutely brimming with life as you enter. Out of the ruckus, 5 tables catch your attention.
1)At the first table a group of companymen led by a slightly ageing tall physically fit native American man are gambling on some strange unknown game.
2)At the second table are sitting two Yankee strangely dressed men. The first man is middle-aged, tall and fat and the second man is middle-aged, medium heighted and physically fit. They are fighting amongst themselves. Each blaming the other, their loud shouts and curses may soon turn into a fistfight.
3)At the third table a group of men are playing liar's dice. The first man is a young medium heighted somewhat fat Yankee, the second man is a middle-aged short somewhat thin Italian, the third man is a young short physically fit Irish, the fourth man is a slightly ageing short fat Germanic and the last man is a slightly ageing medium heighted physically fit Irish.
4)At the fourth table a group of men are playing poker. The first man is a middle-aged medium heighted physically fit Dixie, the second man is a slightly ageing tall physically fit Dixie, the third man is a slightly ageing medium heighted somewhat thin Afro-American, the fourth man is a young tall fat Canadian and the last man is a slightly ageing medium heighted physically fit Irish.
5)At the fifth table are sitting two Yankee ranchers. The first man is young, tall and skinny and the second man is slightly ageing, medium heighted and physically fit. They are fighting amongst themselves. Each blaming the other, their loud shouts and curses may soon turn into a fistfight
Apart from the owner and the patrons, you notice the breathtakingly massive and beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a dartboard with its pins still stuck on it on the eastern wall
If you stay the night, then you will hear loud moaning noises throughout the night, their sources easily guessable.
Law Enforcement
The Sheriff's office is a rugged wooden building with a desk for the Sheriff and 4 simple cells for outlaws.
The Sheriff is a young medium heighted skinny Yankee man.
If you attempt to make conversation with him then he will blabber some nonsense revealing the alcohol streaming through his veins.
Apart from the sherrif you see 3 other persons of interest.
1)A slightly ageing tall physically fit Irish woman sits alone with a sad gloomy look on her face and judging by her clothes and mannerisms, she appears to be a regular housewife.
2)A young tall skinny Germanic prisoner struggling in chains on a chair nearby. From his mannerisms, he appears to be an insane murderer.
3)A middle-aged medium heighted fat Yankee armed deputy cleaning his rifle.
You also notice an old newspaper clipping of the day this station was built adorning the wall opposite the sheriff's desk and a portrait of president Lincoln adorning the wall behind the Sheriff's desk.
***Local businesses***
Butcher
For meat and animal parts of all kinds, the town has a few butcher's stalls on the sidewalk upon the mainstreet. Your eyes mainly fall on one of them.
The butcher is a slightly ageing tall somewhat thin Irish who inherited and learned the trade from his late father.
If you attempt to make conversation with him then he will interrupt you and ask you to state your business, else leave.
Barber
The Barber shop is located on the mainstreet.
The barber is a young short skinny Mexican who setup this business upon his own hard work and skill.
If you attempt to make conversation with him then he will tell you a colorful dramatic version of his past right from his childhood to present day.
The Barber shop itself is a small rugged wooden building. Inside you see 4 chairs and a bunch of small accessories like scissors, various oils, combs etc.
Inside you see the regular barber shop furnishing. Small mirrors in front of each seat, a few lamps in every corner of the room, a candle in front of every seat, a cabinet with an assortement of oils, lotions and scissors and a regular carpet on the floor. The establishment is mostly tidy though things like the piles of dust under cabinets and the slightly unclean roof indicates that the owner has cut corners when it comes to cleanliness.
Apart from the usual posters about some new hair oil and beard growing lotions, you also notice a breathtakingly detailed map of Asia and its oriental empires on the southern wall.
