Do you love

Even if you don't (and you have no flavor knowledge);
Do you want to help review a crazy weird 13p setup I have for a follow-up game to Steven Universe Mafia?
Send me a PM.

Do you like pizza?

How about Parasyte?

I need a reviewer to check off on a Large theme for me.
No Flavor Knowledge is required.
Bork's already had a bit of a look at an older incarnation of the game, but I want to spice up the mechanics and that family man is almost certainly going to be busy through the holidays.

In post 2832, Davsto wrote:I have an idea for a Mini Theme with different lynch mechanics (courtroom themed) I'd like to have a person or two look at, in terms of balance for making the mechanics work a bit better if there are hitches, and for balance of the number of town/scum.
Since the actual setup will be purely vanilla in terms of roles and the number of town/scum will be public, any reviewer may also get a pre-in if they wish.
The actual game isn't going to be up for a while because I have a Mini normal I haven't even started yet, but it's better to get this out of the way sooner than later.

Bumping this, still need someone. I've signed up to mod another game now since I didn't get any help for this, but would like some pointers. Thanks in advance!

It's that time again, my little sea urchins. I've been working tirelessly on a 24-player theme game based on the Borderlands series, and I think it's finally ready for you to undress it with your eyes. Just like Borderlands itself, the setup is wacky, bizarre, and fun, so be sure to send me a PM if you're interested so we can review this bad boy together. Whaddaya say? Take my delicate alabaster hand in yours and go on this adventure with me.

Is that a pre-/in?

If you say yes, I'm putting you down as a pre-/in.

If you say no, I'm putting you down as a pre-/in.

I'm excited to start another mini theme game
I need 2 reviews and a back up just in case.

The game will be a U-pick game and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
I'm thinking all female but I'm not sure how many women on mafia scum want to be in a bad ass girl u-pick game.

No takers yet. Do I need to start offering promises of pizza?


EDIT: Got what I need! Thanks to Xtoxm and Cheetory6 for being two cool dudes. If anyone else wants to lend a hand, drop me a PM. I won't say no to another set of eyes looking things over.

I need several reviewers for the large theme game I'm designing.

The setup will feature about 25~26ish players and will have some complex mechanics. This is also considered as a slightly bastard game. (But more like bastard by semantics.)
The setup is currently in mechanic design phase but I would like some help with reviewing that first before I start with roles.

The flavor is Hyperdimension Neptunia series and will contain heavy spoilers about terms and characters but not storylines.

I need some reviewers for a 15p game I am working on. It is a non-normal open setup, however, it is not a bastard game. Players know exactly what to expect. The setup is completely transparent. There is no element of randomness (that cannot be prevented by the action of a rational player). Of course, the initial move by Nature is an exception. This is inherently random, but does not affect the expected utility of each team, assuming that players are equal in skill. (This is just like any other game.) It will involve modifying some nightkill mechanics, and the rest of the setup is based on this modification.

Furthermore, this game will be themeless. I will pay no attention whatsoever to flavor or story (I am just not that kind of person). Instead, it will focus on logic and reasoning. Speculation about the actual role distribution is not only allowed, it is also encouraged.

Having seen this, Id be interesting in co/backup modding it for the AI should it be approved. It uses unique mechanics.
beeboy - Everyone thought this game was made to troll pie but it was really made to troll pisskop.
Almost50 pisskop: Overall, that's a townie slot. Don't ask for specifics because with PK everything can be interpreted either way. It's probably WHEN he says/does things that matter, so it's more of a matter of conception rather than solid reasoning.

Thanks. :) I hope other people are interested as well. It is experimental, but if it proves successful, it could inspire other games to use similar mechanics (to generate evidence of some sort without it being outside of the control of the players).

Reviewers are free to criticize it as much as they want. Modifications are inevitable, I know that. I am convinced that the game mechanics have potential, though. I am happy to defend my ideas. However, when something is unbalanced, I will revise it.

Looking for a reviewer for a 9p micro game. It will be based on How to Get Away with Murder (Season 1).

Please PM me! You don't need to know the flavour and I mostly would like advice on balance.

Looking for reviewers for A Song of Ice and Fire UPick. It's a 21p large theme. It'd be great if you had experience with UPicks and/or the source material, but not necessary. I have a basic setup in mind, but will need help tweaking and such once sign-ups are over. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
