Nice set of paragons. I just saw a lets play of "last of us" and found it pretty impressing in terms of characters, story and action. Especially the last third.
And "the road" is anyhow a piece of PA-work which deserves to be mentioned everytime someone discusses downright gritty drama.
Western-tropes do combine well with postapocalyptic adventures.
I repeat myself; have a look at the early belgian "Jeremiah"-Comics (the TV-series has just the name, but not much in common storywise).
I did a western-inspired adventure myself; i used the plot of Ang Lee´s "Ride with the devil" (good film; recommandation)
The PC´s were dutch/german anti-FBU-Renegades in the Dead-Zone, near Arnhem.
M-Type; its sounds like a new time of gunslingers like "Roland went for the Dark Tower" (minus the muties). Cool!
