I like Judd's hack!
Several players I've played with come into Dogs with resistance. They have religious hang-ups or they don't like Westerns. I had to bend quite a bit to get one guy to try it. He played a Mountain Man who joined the Faith and he had a hard time wanting to play. Well, that was until he actually played, and loved it.
I think a simpler character generation and removal of the ability to worm your way out of the game/setting is brilliant. I hope to try it someday soon. Maybe I will write it up as the character generation handout and just let the players use the book as a reference for the faith or game rules.
Porter, if you have no local players, you should hit people up for Skype games. It is better than no game at all, and with Graham Walmsley's online die roller, you can run a pretty good Dogs game (I tried it with the Mountain Man PC above and a second player).
