Mafia game voting

Post by Mr. Squirrel »

So it looks like the forum isn't going to get any quieter with game sign-ups. Probably on account that everyone keeps creating new games even before theirs is done (I'm looking at you, chu! :x ). So I guess now is as good a time as any to start a new game. The trouble is, I've been playing around with a few setups and I can't decide which one I want to use. Help me out:

Sweeney Todd mafia:
This game is pretty much done in terms of setup. I have all the roles made, I just need players. And I might want someone to look over the setup for balance. It will have some VTs. It will also have a 'morning' cycle where players will be able to decide if they want to eat the meatpies made by the mafia that night. Those pies may help you or hurt you (you don't know until you try them). Based on the hollywood movie. 11 players

The legend of zelda mafia:
I've made a few roles for this, but I'm not nearly close to being done. This would be a large game (probably 15+ players) and will have characters from many (if not all :shock: ) zelda games. Completely Non-vanilla. This could potentially be a huge game (like Briarsburg) due to the large number of characters, but unless people really want that, I will try to keep it to a manageable size.

Rolesteal mafia:
I was actually thinking about this around the same time that / was making his rolegift mafia (ironic, no?). Its a similar mechanic to his, but twisted a little. Each player receives a role with a night action. When you use that night action on another player, they will steal your role and be able to use it the following night. So by roleblocking a scummie, you will also be empowering him for the following night. Might be interesting.

Other:
If any of you guys have any interesting themes (or even just an interesting mechanic) you would like me to run, go ahead and suggest them. If I like the idea, I might just decide to run that instead. Or if it is a mechanic, I might incorporate it into a game.

Sweeny Todd: I might play. Finished is good.

Zelda: IN. Absolutely in. But I'd say finish it first.

Rolesteal: Intriguing, and probably not too heavy in terms of balancing. I'd give it a shot.

I'd say go with Mr. Todd ( ;) ) for now and while you finish that, get ready for others :)
But... It was so artistically done.

Sweeny Todd had some promise, I'd go with that first and give you some time to mull over the specifics of Zelda.

I liked the role steal idea, I think it brings quite an interesting mechanic to the table, and I'd be interested to see how it would play out.

Considering that you have already gotten the roles and some people signed up (might have to send a mass message to see who's still interested obviously) I would stick with sweeney first and allow yourself some time to consider roles and balance for zelda or role steal.

lol. We'll see. Seeing all the support, I will probably run it once Todd is done.
