Modern Day RPG
A game I'd like to try: Dogs in the Vineyard meets The Wire.
I don't mean a direct translation of DitV to The Wire, just that it occurred to me that DitV would be a great vehicle for a Detective Drama RPG. Perhaps all the cop movies is a better analogy, like Lethal Weapon, or the Dirty Harry movies. Two players is ideal--partners. The supernatural is dialed way down. Demons are things like booze and drugs, guilt, hatred, etc--the things that drive people to break the law. Escalation can remain exactly the same. It's something I would like to try!
