Tragedy Looper- Game 1,2 Full (Reserve List for Game 3 2/3)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Mon Dec 28, 2015 11:24 am

Post by Lady Lambdadelta »

Tragedy Looper is a scenario-based deduction game for two to four players: one mastermind and one to three protagonists. The game consists of four location boards and a number of character cards. Each scenario features a number of characters, hidden roles for these characters (serial killer, conspiracy theorist, friend), and some pre-set tragedies (murder, suicide).

Each "day" (turn), players and the mastermind play three face-down cards onto the characters, then reveal them to move the characters around or affect their paranoia or goodwill stats. At the end of each day (turn), if the scenario has a tragedy set for that day, it happens if the conditions are met, i.e., certain characters have certain stats or are in a certain location together (or not together) with others. As tragedies happen, players loop back in time, restarting the scenario from the beginning and trying to deduce who the culprit was and why the tragedy occurred.

The players win if they manage to maintain status quo — that is, if no tragedies occur to the key individuals — for a set number of days, within a set number of loops. If not, the mastermind wins.
-------------------------
In this game, I will be playing as your Mastermind, and thus I need 3 players who are willing to take me on!

Here is a copy of the Players' Handbook: http://www.zmangames.com/uploads/4/7/1/ ... lowrez.pdf

These are all the rules you will need to understand how to play the game. If you don't understand something, ask me and I can clarify.

Here is the reference sheet you will need to help you solve the mysteries: http://www.zmangames.com/uploads/4/7/1/ ... ummary.pdf

I cannot make myself more clear than this. DO NOT under ANY circumstances look at the Mastermind rulebook. I may or may not use scenarios from that book or the expansion book to run games for you. These books contain the solutions to the mysteries and would make the game effectively boring. Honour system, please.


No experience is required to play, though if we go with newer players, I may choose a simpler introductory mystery first, before getting into how mean this game can be.

Anyone who doesn't get into the first game will be reserve listed for game two. So you two can decide between the two of you which one wants to play this round, and I'll reserve list the other.

Ok, I will wait for everyone to check in with any questions, and let me know if they understand the rules. Please do your best to understand all the rules.

So you understand that communication of what is played during rounds is prohibited. You may not discuss the mystery or any hunches.

At the end of Each Loop, you will be given time to discuss. 24 hour max, you can end this time unanimously at any time.

This is probably the most important rule.

Publicly. All information you talk about must be available to the Mastermind.

I'm done reading the rules, and I think I got everything.
Doesn't the no communications rule depend on the script though?

No communication is just an agreement that you can make regardless of whatever other rules you use.

bottom of page 15 of the rules.

Basically, the game becomes WAY easier for the protagonists if you can coordinate all your moves.

What you are able to discuss includes:
During the Protagonist Action Phase: If any character has enough good will to take an action, you may discuss how it will be used. Most of the time, it won't be necessary, but there will be times where a specific target is required.
Between Loops: Everything. I encourage you to take notes of everything you notice, and use the reference sheet to narrow down what roles are in the game, what plots are in the game, and who can be what.

Protagonist actions are decided by the leader, right?

Final say goes to the leader, but in the interest of it being a public action, I allow for discussion of where to use the ability, but not why.
