Hi Matthijs,

Long time no see (Alarums & Excursions misses you!). Thanks for the good review. My copy of DitV arrived a couple of days ago and, inbetween my wife's borrowings, I've had the chance to read about half of it.

My wife and I have discussed the setting and premise and while we like the game, we both felt we might have problems actually playing a Dog. Wishy-washy lefty intellectuals, I guess, but I think I'd find it difficult to get too deeply into the role of a believer with a strong and to me, offensive, moral code.

To be fair, Vincent (D. Vincent Baker the game designer) does address the use of the game in other settings, though I think the core issue of faith and justice are probably essential.
