Rocky Horror Picture Show - unique cult game interest?

meh gave a little peak of things but meh will keep it to Rocky Horror

Spoiler: Rocky Horror Picture Show
I've been working on this for a bit and while I'm not exactly sure when I will run it (could be several months, could be sooner, depends on when I get compelled to run it.)

I can make it 16-25 players. When it goes into signups I will put a minimum of 16 required and leave it open until it fills or interest wanes.

Here are some things about it
!!!

NIGHT - it is always Night over at the Frankenstein Place. Once the game starts the game thread will remain open until the game is over. There are unique mechanics for ability submissions, interactions, and resolutions.

PAUSE / PLAY - the game cycles between these two states. During the Pause state players may not submit actions; during the Play state players may submit actions.

CULT -
Rocky Horror Picture Show
is a cult movie and this will be a cult game based on that movie. There will be unique (created by me) cult mechanics, both known and hidden.
ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
(it is balanced with swing - swing goes in favor of the better players)

DEATH - don't worry, just because there's no lynching doesn't mean there won't be any death!

known (subject to change) :
  • There two cults / 2 cult leaders.
  • All non-cult members start as a neutral survivor faction.
  • Not all characters are cult-recruitable. Most players do not know if they are cult-recruitable until recruited.
  • Once recruited by a cult players cannot be recruited into the other cult.
  • Players will use their vote to choose who to make immune to recruiting (instead of lynching - there is no lynching)
(more about these mechanics and others will be divulged closer to the game running / in its advertisement)

that's all you get for now...

important note: I typically HATE cult games / they are not something I look to join. I have designed Rocky Horror to be a cult game that I think I could enjoy as a player, that I am definitely looking forward to moderating, and will not be your typical run of the mill cult game that no one wants to play (I'm quite sure!)

it's going to be fun! and not in like a wild frantic party sort of way, but a genuinely fun setup and game with good / interesting roles and mechanics to make it engaging and not a frustrated GRAAARRR fest like all other cult games

SKs and two cults with SKs being recruitable. Kill abilities are lost upon recruit.

There will be kills in the game, but I will not discuss their methodology.

The other main mechanic is now on display in the OP. I maybe should have left it in when I created the post.

I'd prefer not to have avatars change because of a game, that doesn't seem right to me
