I have a huge ass theme game (50+ players) ready for reviewing. I brought it up before, but I'd like to see whether you guys can agree with the details as well. PM would be welcome. Looking for 2 or 3 reviewers.

theme is zombie apocalypse

The 1st step when preparing to mod a large theme, for example, requires that the reviewer is qualified with that type of game. I haven't checked, but I'm sure it is likewise for other types of games.
Qualified, as in, you can mod that type of game or you can play that type of game? :/

Mod the same type of game.

FC, will you be running this game on-site or elsewhere? I think I might want to play it if it's on-site.

I would of course host it here if its approved. Its not going to be anytime soon though, since I have to host a few other games before I'm allowed to host a big theme game. I can also give away the concept to others to host if people prefer that. I got 2 similar games like these, one with a theme around South Park and one around the French Revolution.

But I'd like a few people to take a look at all roles, aspects and balance. It was written for the Nukezone audience, but thats a whole different audience.

Bah. So, I can't review anything until I can mod, right?

I'd still like one more person to review my mini setup, though I have had pretty positive feedback from Kise and SpyreX thus far.

Well, you can't be the 'official' reviewer for a game, no. But that doesn't mean you can't use your experience to help somebody look at a setup, poke holes in their theme, etc. We just like to have somebody with a bit of experience at that type of game 'sign off' on it before it's run, to avoid problems later.

Wow, I feel kinda' honored to have Mr. Flay helping me out. XD
Alright, that makes sense. Thanks Flay! :)
In that case, Parama, I'll totally look ar your set-up, as long as you know I can't be used as "official".

No pm's/reviewers yet. Still need 2 or 3 people to judge the entire concept. I promise you guys will get an interesting concept to review.

I'll look at it, FCG, but know that I can't count as an "official" reviewer when the time comes, so.
Otherwise, yeah, I'm willing. :)

I've been working on a relatively simple (normal) 15-player open setup. I'd like a second set of eyeballs or two, especially if you have modding/playing experience with large, open setups.

Of course I'd be happy to look at anything you have, but there's a reason I only post in this thread when I need help. I don't think I'm a very good judge of balance.


Thank you Spyrex, Vi, and Kise :D

Hi, I need reviewers for a mini theme I'm about to run, let's call it ortolan's WaterWorld mafia (working title). The mechanics are pretty non-standard.
Currently modding Mole Mafia: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=20529

Feel free to PM me to be ready in case I need a replacement.

I have a 13-16 player open setup idea and I would like some help with figuring out how many vanilla to include. I am also completely open/responsive to other critique of the setup, but it is simple enough that at this point I don't think it's necessary.
Thanks SpyreX

Would like a reviewer for a 16 player open setup :lol:

I'm in need of an entire cadre of brainstormers / reviewers / comods for a setup I'm working on. Its still definitely an alpha but because of the massiveosity I think I'm going to need help now versus later.

I need some reviews to help me with finalizing the setup for a sequal to this game

Special mechanic allows players to pass on their votes to another player when they die. First game ended with a player having 12 votes of 25 available votes.

I'm looking for at least 1 (preferably 2) people to review my planned Mini Normal. Thanks in advance!

[Edit] I have wolframnhart reviewing it, plus I'll have it reviewed by the Mini Normal mod (like everyone else) once I get near the top of the queue, so I think I'm good.
Thanks, wolframnhart!

[Edit2] Actually, I'd like one more reviewer to bounce ideas off of, if that's alright. Anyone who's interested, feel free to shoot me a PM.
Thanks Hoopla!

I'm looking for a reviewer for Consulmaker 2: the Pyrrhic War.

This is a sequel to Consulmaker (which dealt with the Second Punic War) and will essentially have the same rule set.

I need someone with experience to look over a swingy set up. I'm still working some things out and need a sounding board to go off of.
