God's Watchdogs
In the Old West of pre-statehood America, small towns struggle with poverty, corruption, and the consequences of sin. Players portray God’s appointed Watchdogs, who travel from town to town investigating blasphemy, possession, and sorcery, then use their authority to decide how each crisis is resolved. This rules-light roleplaying game uses streamlined conflict rules designed to resolve confrontations quickly while preserving their consequences for the story and the town.
