The group of very nice people who played pen and paper RPGs with me for the last 2 years or so has been scattered across Germany because of incredibly selfish motives like “buying a house” or “moving to be closer to ones boyfriend” and I must say I really miss the group. For the summer however there is (or was) some good news. A few people work around here for the summer so there was a trial campaign of Dogs in the Vineyard which most of us had not tried before.
The system is a little strange. Mostly because the characters are a strange cross between a postman and a inquisitor in the times of the wild west. More specifically you are a young man (or woman because we are rather modern in this one regard) who was chosen to leave his village and graduate as dog in the capital. After a 6 week crash course you get a horse, a ton of letters, a route, a copy of the book of life and some nice companions who have as much clue about how to lead grown men and women back on the right way as you yourself, but who have faith — more or less — that they will manage.
It’s really fun to play in this setting however it is quite hard to uphold the high morale standards of the community when faced with a poor woman who has a very bad conscience because she actually thinks of leaving her extremely bad behaving husband who she was forced to marry in the first place. That aside definitely something worth trying out, too bad summer is almost over.
