Although the floorboards might have been removed from the an old general store, mining manager's house for an abandoned mine - it may have been used again from an older existing structure.

And Faro is the game I was thinking, when I mentioned "Kino".

Please do send me pics of that old card deck.

Excellent point! Again, it would certainly depend on the setting. Obviously if this was going to be used in a new town than your options wouldn't work, and historically speaking someone would not build a saloon in a ghost town which is what it would have to be if they were tearing down the general store or there was an abandoned mine nearby. Plus there is that whole superstition aspect of folks in the Old West...

That said, your point isn't far fetched, but there would have to be some pretty good in game reasons for me to suspend my disbelief.

I'll try to remember to upload those this evening when I get home.

I always love how an "old west" town = Desert

Hehe, that's true as well. Perhaps GP could post the building by itself and we can drop it onto whatever terrain we want to use.

He could even keep the outhouse and trees in if he wanted.

Sorry GP! I just remembered that I had to upload these. I would have forgotten again except that I was watching a show on Western Movies and suddenly remembered that I owed you the card scans.

I had to convert the scans to jpgs so that I could upload them due to file size. They are not laid out real straight either so you'll need to do some rotating and cleaning up. I had planned to do all this myself but life invaded my plans and I never got around to it. I hope they prove useful for you.
