Dust Devils is a fascinating RPG that I never played, though I did at one point go to a mall to buy poker chips because, surely, if I get those then I will play Dust Devils.

The theme is a classic western. The mechanics are poker-based and the core of it is the fact that you have a (non-supernatural) devil in you, whom you will ultimately face and meet your end.

I want that, but anti-fascist rebellion. Something else instead of poker and spirit of rebellion as your devil.

Playful Martian Dust Devils

The Martian atmosphere lacks the density to support tornado storm systems, but vortices are nevertheless a frequent occurrence. As sun-warmed gases rise, neighboring air rushes in, bringing with it any twisted shred of vorticity it carries. Just as an ice skater pulling her arms in spins faster, the gases spin up, forming a dust devil.

In this recent footage from the Perseverance Rover, four dust devils move across the landscape. In the foreground, a tiny one meets up with a big 64-meter dust devil, getting swallowed up in the process. It’s hard to see the details of their crossing, but you can see other vortices meeting and reconnecting here.
