Nice review. You're right about the hesitation that people show when first introduced to the game. DITV is a well written game. Vincent Baker hit a bullseye when he wrote.
@MJGraham939 Thanks. It really is a cool game. Once you figure how the dice mechanic works, and learn how to work from words, to fisticuffs, and then to weapons, the rest of it just happens. I like its episodic feel, which I think works very nicely with the western themes. It is a fun little game, that I'm glad I own.
@Samwise7RPG It reminds me of the kind of shows I use to watch when I was a kid. Shows like The A-Team or Knight Rider where the protagonists would travel around, bringing justice and fixing problems one town at a time.
@MJGraham939 Bringing justice and fixing problems one town at a time is a good way to describe it. I like that if you ran a campaign of this, that you wouldn't have to worry about flaky players who don't show up all the time, because it is episodic where most sessions = 1 town. I guess bigger cities might take a few sessions though.

@DeTzardis It was a great game. A few other guys at the gaming club played it, but it just didn't fit my schedule. I plan to run Dogs several times in the coming year, at the local small gaming conventions. I hope you enjoy the game. :)
@DeTzardis It is less of a traditional RPG, but it is a good one to break into the indie games with. I had a lot of fun with the Western meets The Exorcist vibe of the game I ran in. My character focused on exorcism, and I had the holy symbols branded onto my hands. The GM really liked where I took the game. :) I don't know if I would enjoy a straight Western game, but I like that this one is essentially Western Plus.
A game about dogma LOL
