I've never played Dust Devils—in fact, didn't know about it until just now, when I looked it up. How does it play? Does the stud poker work, or does it feel gimmicky?
Would it be any fun to play a game of Unforgiven or Blood Meridian?
I mean, sure, in some sense that's what D&D is, it's just that you call the Indians "orcs," but D&D doesn't focus on the blood quite so much, and of course it works really hard to make you not question whether your actions are actually pretty depraved. How many times is it fun to do "maniac sniping from the clock tower" or "scalping the little chilluns" before the thrill of vicarious psychopathy wears off?
And I guess now we're back to KPfS, ain't we?
