Mini 1859: D&D Curse of Strahd Mafia - Game Over

[Pine]

Hey Andrius, Drealmerz PMed and told me that he still thinks you're scum. He wants to lynch Clumsy after you for lying to Town about your flip.

[Pine]

It would still have been a 5:4 LYLO D2.

Why didn't you have Strahd leading attacks?

[Pine]

Have players roll ability scores, then you secretly assign classes based on them. Have certain events involve skill checks, with modifiers based on class skills and abilities.

[Pine]

EPIC.

Nomming for a memorable moment scummy when 2017 thread is up.

[Pine]

Oh, I should mention, I lied a LOT.

-I was unable to self-protect. The point of that was to WIFOM the scum a bit. A claimed Doc on D1 would be an easy and obvious target for N1 death. This backfired on me more than a little, because SOME PEOPLE focused on the self-protection part, and not the Doc part. All I was saying was that I was not prohibited from self-protecting.
-I also lied wildly about the number of shots I had. I was empty after saving Andy.
-I never Spoke With Dead Creature. That was a bluff to save my ass D2. That was far more successful. I also used this to put some pressure on TRs I was having doubts on.
-I didn't use the amulet until I opened a SWD thread with Kuror0.

I think there were other things. I forget.

[Pine]

Disagree, they were talking.

[Pine]

Pretending to open a PT with Creature was my hail mary of the game.

[Pine]

I would like to pull attention to this though. In the PMs that Andrius sent me for night actions, he always included very nice flavor.

Smite: Dunnstral

I humble myself before thee, praying that I might discern whether my fellow adventurer be wicked or virtuous.
Grant me this boon that I might protect your children who remain.

For even after vanquishing our foe, others surely lurk in the shadows.
And if death should come, spare the others. I am ready.

Thou hast sent a brother of the cloth to strengthen me when I was dying.
Not to save my own life, but to glorify thee through thy mercy and strength.
I pray to thee, steel thy servants as we root out this evil.
Keep us and protect us, in thy name I pray.

The first line was for when he used his first cop shot, the second was his second cop shot (after Shaddowez flip), and the last was added with this vig. This is the kind of thing that I love as a DM, and it brought me a lot of joy in this game.

That's absolutely fantastic.

[Pine]

Nominating

Andrius for Memorable Moment

In the waning days of Curse of Strahd, Andrius, known as the Baker, did embark upon a dramatic retelling of the events and happenings leading up to the conclusion of the heroes' quest. With artful prose and whimsical portraiture did this noble Paladin recount tales of derring-do and evil treachery, of encounters with dastardly vampires and vicious walking huts, of hard-won friendships between embattled servants of light and truth. As the Baker-Paladin's story wound on, and he did multiclass to Bard, the assembled heroes gained heart, took up arms, and rallied to bring an end to the scourge of Strahd! Thus was the realm of Ravenloft saved, and freed from the dominion of vampires and their foul ilk. Evil ended, not with a bang, nor a whimper, but with song.

Persivul: And how, exactly, can you help us?

Pine: I can heal myself.

Almost-Everyone: "…"

Drealmerz: IT’S A VAMPIRE. BURN IT.

Jason: How about me? I can surely make use of it.

Andrius: The holy scripture writeth that no man deserveth an item if he requesth it himself.

Drealmerz7: BURN THE VAMPIRE.

Shaddow: I think Pine should get it.

Creature: Why the hell not?

Shaz: Ok here you go Pine.

Drealm: I trained him to hunt vampires but he wont attack andrius for some reason though

Andrius: Either he's not trained or I'm not a vampire.

Drealm: I TRAINED HIM SO HARD YO. HE FETCHES AND DECAPITATES AND STAKES VAMPIRES

Culted: Why don't we just lynch someone who isn't talking? They must clearly be vampires hiding in the shadows.

Kuroi: I'm still here.

Culted: SPEAKING OF SHADOWS… SHADDOWS

RABBLE: RABBLE RABBLE

Dunnstral: shit

Persivul: NOW WE LYNCH THAT EVIL DRUID

SlySly: MURDERDEATHDEATHDEATHMURDER

Lord Clumsy: Shaziro ded he was vampire helper

Suddenly, Dunnstral leaps at the group, knife barred. Kuroi leaps in front of him, being stabbed straight in the heart.

Andrius: I SMITE THEE IN THE NAME OF OUR FALLEN BRETHREN

Dunnstral crumples to the ground, cut down.




Culted: Its, Its over.






SlySly returned to his own realm, fighting evil there in every form. He never forgot the hurt inflicted on him by a bro all those years ago, but having seen true bro-ness in Andrius, Pine, Persivul, and culted, he knows that there is still good in this world.



Persivul and culted continued to hunt vampires and werewolves and dunnstrals wherever they went. They were the closest of bros.

There is no record of what happened to Andrius and Pine.
Some say Andrius died of his wounds.
Some say they continued questing to rid the world of evil.
Some say they settled down.

There is only one certainty…


…evil is timeless…

I will, of course, also be submitting the form properly, but everyone deserves to be exposed to this awesomeness.

Go second my nomination, victorious heroes and vanquished villains!

[Pine]

Who here would play a mafiascum D&D game?

[Pine]

We played a D&D Mafia game. I'm curious about interest in a Mafiascum.net D&D game.

[Pine]

Yes, Clumsy.

Jason, forum D&D is quite successful over at Myth-Weavers.com. The difficult part is twofold; getting strangers to stick around, and having effective maps. Roll20.net, which I only recently became aware of, may be the solution to that.

[Pine]

I decided to nom this game for GOTY, btw.

[Pine]

My GOTY nom submission: This game was immense fun, with fantastic flavor and innovative structure. The playerlist was absolutely fantastic, with interesting roles and character interactions. Town began quite disjointed and suspicious of one another, and evolved into a unified front. Further, the game provoked a sequence of events resulting in an extremely memorable endgame.

[Pine]

I don't get the new process at all.
Are SECONDS even needed anymore?

No idea.
