[Dogs] What are the demons for?
argamemnon:
Whoa.
I bought the game today (waiting for it to hit my inbox), so I had obviously made up my mind that DITV was worth owning. But this thread and Vincent's involvement in walking Simon through town creation has me virtually frothing at the mouth to try the system out. The depth of storytelling options is astounding.
I am also really digging the idea that demons aren't scary for their spookiness so much as their desire to hurt and destroy. Wow. When I first started looking at reviews for the game, I got the impression that the Dogs might be complicated characters merely because they are self-righteous and above the law in a society that allows them to be such. Now I see that they actually have a valid role to play in their society, and they can choose to be a true champion of the faith or a tyrant. That is an "option" in a lot of other games, but you can see it float to the surface like cream in this setting and ruleset.
Whoa.
Simon C:
I don't know about other people, but our game is intersting because the Dogs are both at the same time. They're tyrants and murderers, and saviours and saints. And the contradiction is getting more apparent with each town.
I hope you have fun with the game!
