You know, I was aware of Ye Old West, I just hadn't read it before now. Now that I have read it, it sort of looks like I ripped it off, but didn't want to pony up the cash for fancy dice or spent more than an afternoon on the rules.
My original intention was to hit closer to Liar's Dice, since I knew poker had already been done. In light of this, I will work on an expanded, revised, second edition, hopefully pushing it more towards Liar's Dice and a more individual identity. Just in my off-time, though, as there is a bigger, potentially more interesting, and less rip-off-looking project I'm working on that you'll get to have a look at at some point in the near future.
Also, yeah, I think I'm gonna go with pairs instead of doubles. Sounds more Westerny. When I think about it, doubles is probably a result of my Englishness. I never realised my psyche was so aggressively English.
