Last Spring we played a Dust Devils Revenged campaign over the 'net via Skype and a Vassal Engine playing cards module that I had hacked especially for that purpose. After the campaign ended I thought about publishing the Vassal module for others to use and improve.
Finally I've had the time to polish it. So, here's the first version of my Dust Devils poker hands playing module for Vassal Engine. It still has a few glitches in the graphics and needs a help file to go along it, but those are coming very soon, I promise.
The module is intended for playing out conflicts in Dust Devils. In the game, each player draws cards according to their character's traits and forms a five card poker hand. Bets are also used. The module supports up to six players and a dealer with concealable card hand windows for each player, has two card decks combined so you want run out of cards even in a massive conflict, chips, a chat window (as per Vassal Engine). You can also save and load game situations in it.
The module is based on Tom Dufresne's playing cards module; the card, the card deck and the player hand functionality are his design. The module also has the poker hands chart from Dust Devils Revenged book with approval of Matt Snyder to include it.
