Cain and the Lynch Mob Cain left the Temple unsure if he had achieved the result he was looking for. He didn’t like talking in front of big crowds and this was his first time addressing a Congregation like that. Down the street, in front of the Territory Regulator’s office was a lynch mob...

Good question. I've never been fond of running dungeon-crawls and yet as a player I'm quite fond of them. I think I'm coming to terms with them by making a cultural reason behind them. So...add to the world by throwing out a cultural more of your own devising, brainstorm, add to the Holy...

Please do stay tuned and thank ye kindly.

I went to Gen Con this year, after not being there since '94 and went to Origins the year before this one. Origins somehow still managed to feel like a small con to me. IT felt like a freakin' huge small con but it maintained a small con atmosphere. Gen Con is an 800 pound gorilla. If you...

Those who had broken into heaven and those who had broken out of hell were set aside by the Gods and Goddesses. An adventuring caste was created for these divine thieves and troublemakers. This brings us to demons. First a demon will possess a mortal. After festering in the mortal’s soul for...

Balaam’s Sorrow Balaam’s face was shrunken with age, as if his mouth was somehow slowly swallowing the rest of his wrinkled, bald head. The Dogs noted his unshaven face and exhausted eyes that had sunken into his face. He had been living out of doors for some time and it was showing its...

Blood in New Gidea “Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right.” - Ani Difranco Leaving Eden The Dogs left Eden amidst fond farewells, gleeful children waved their hands keeping pace with their horses for a quarter mile and young ladies putting garlands of apple-blossoms around their necks...

Thanks for your interest in the SH. Unfortunately, it was going to be a writing exercise and then I got some writings gigs that took precedance. Now I'd rather write about games that are really happening or write pieces that I can attempt to sell. There is a fairly long thread over on the...

The system for creating towns is right in the game, starting with an act of pride and showing how it can create a swarm of other sins. It is some cool stuff. I'm off to dinner with some brother and sister geeks and then off to New Gidea, where I hear tell some Dogs'll be aproaching come 8 o'clock.

Here is the town I've created as my group's second town with a problem. Dogs in the Vineyard has a system for creating such towns and so I've used the game's format, more or less, for writing up the town. In the following posts will be how the PC's dealt with it. New Gidea won't find Dogs...

The Dark Tower vibe is strong in the game and in the RPG. Oddly, the game's author has not read it yet. Mayhaps Vincent is from some small village in Midworld. Thanks again for reading. Nice to have you aboard, Broccli_Head. I hear ya. I miss Midnight too and we'll have one more post to...

I edited some parts of the text that I found muddled upon reading it out loud to my girlfriend before bed (nice bedtime story).

You stand between God's law and the best intentions of the weak. You stand between God's people and their own Demons. Sometimes its better for one to die than for many to suffer. Sometimes, Dog, sometimes you have to cut off the arm to save the life. Does the sinner deserve mercy? Do the...

Thanks for reading. When I bought this game at Gen Con and talked to the game's creator I mentioned how much it reminded me of King's Dark Tower series and oddly, he has never read it. Though his girlfriend had and she had also mentioned the similiarity. When I read it I was reminded of the...

Old Man Carson’s Funeral The Watchdogs were awakened by Benjamin Ibex II, who everyone in Eden called Deuce. He was walking through Garden with his rifle across his shoulders, yelling for his brother to come on out. Deuce didn’t know why his brother wasn’t sleeping where they normally made...

Wow, Teneb, thanks for the high praise on the Fury of Shadow. Garsh. Againsttheshadow.org is really the place to poke around. There are active forums and a Plot Hooks section that myself and others have contributed to that is fairly rockin'. There is one article I wrote that was 13 ways to...

GM's Note: I was driving this game hard. The players were tired and we had started late. After a weekend of tight Gen Con gaming, I wanted to run a fast and tight game. I was not interested in making them look for clues but giving them the situation and forcing them to make decisions in...

Sunrise Watchdogs are given a jar of consecrated earth for their rituals, a pistol or a rifle, a horse, the Book of Life and a quilted trench-coat. Jeremiah’s trench-coat was made by his Ma back home. She and the other women in their congregation gathered and quilted it together. The...

The setting is inspired by pre-statehood Utah, the Desert Territory, in the early-mid nineteenth century. Picture a landscape of high mountains, icy rivers and cedar woods, falling away westward into scrublands, deserts, buttes and swells. The summer skies are heartbreaking blue, but the...
