So, I've read Poison'd a few times, both as a game I'd be interested in playing, a game to study some design methods, and to evaluate claims that AW was basically a sophisticated Poison'd hack. Plus, I've heard some "things", which actually surprised me, because reading through the rules didn't generate the notion in my head that they led inescapably to the more horrible stuff, but maybe I was just evaluating the incentives wrong or assume too PG a play style to really realize the implications of game mechanic effects of doing things like murder and rape and making deals with the devil.
