'''''Dogs in the Vineyard''''' is a [[Tabletop RPG]] by Vincent Baker, who is also responsible for the games ''kill puppies for satan'' and ''Poison'd''. According to [[The Other Wiki]], it won Indie RPG of the Year and Most Innovative Game in the Indie RPG Awards of 2004, and in 2005 it was nominated for a Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming.
It can be described as a [[Western]], set in a [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]] to the Mormon-settled Desert Territory of early Utah.
