BooneyToonz Discussion

[Flavor Leaf]

I’ll keep it for now, but I’d like some Boon Bank submissions!! I don’t want to have more than like 10 Boon Bank roles, however. I think that’d be overkill and limit the guidelines core of the BooneyToonz

[Alisae]

I mean first you should probably sync the bank with the normal guidelines

[TemporalLich]

hmm I could try submitting a few Grand Ideas I had (ones that aren't normal but should be normal, as well as the moonlight dancer [sorry I like the moonlight dancer]).

[Flavor Leaf]

That’s what the Boon Bank roles are for.

I’ll add a Boon Bank submission to the front page.

We’re kind of separate from the normal queue, most of our games lately have been ran in the Large Theme queue. We essentially just limit the amount of wtf’ery we have in one game, and the Guidelines really change how you setup spec.

Why should this be added to the Boon Bank instead of take a Variant spot?

I put this on the first page!

Role Name: Superstar
Abilities: May confirm their role (but not alignment) like an Innocent Child that isn't innocent.
Why should this be added to the Boon Bank instead of take a Variant spot?: I feel this should be a Normal role, it's to Fruit Vendor as Innocent Child is to Friendly Neighbor. However it is quite boring, a variant should be to confirm the other parts of their role (e.g. a variant Superstar Cop confirms as a Superstar Cop)

Decided to submit this instead of the more powerful Moonlight Dancer, as no Day roles exist as Bank roles or rolebook roles, and Moonlight Dancer can act at any time.

ok but its kind of one of those things where its like there's not really a downside to syncing the roles and modifiers from normal guidelines

[Gamma Emerald]

What are you suggesting
If it is adding roles and modifiers as they are normalized I 100% support that
Since imo this is basically the Normal queue but with extra gizmos and gadgets

[TemporalLich]

I would indeed like to see Alien, Mailman, Encryptor (with the new normal definition), Multitasking, Indecisive, and Announcing added to the rolebook...

also I would like to see Lynchproof (and by extension Deathproof) contraboon'd, these feel a bit too close to being bastard for something that isn't supposed to be bastard

[Flavor Leaf]

I don’t think there’s any normal roles that aren’t in the Role Book here as it is.

Multitasking definitely should be in the role book. However, I do have the option listed to allow for Multitasking without the modifier I’d announced pregame on the Checklist.

I’ll comment more when I get some more time. Thanks for the submissions.

Anyone interested in reviewing and/or backup modding a BooneyToonz game for me, shoot me a PM.

Role Name: Invoker
Abilities: May spend a night charging up. If the Invoker goes the night without being targeted, the Invoker gains the ability to erase a target from existence. Erasing a target is equivalent to a Combined Vigilante Alien, killing a target and making them unable to act or otherwise be acted upon. After erasing a target from existence, the Invoker must charge up again.
Why should this be added to the Boon Bank instead of take a Variant spot?: I think a role that relies on being undisturbed for a night then unleashes a powerful ability is an interesting idea.

A weaker version of the Invoker may instead use a different effect known as Insight, acting as an alignment cop (which investigates for exact alignment). The weaker Invoker is a better idea if you want something that's more of a utility than a flashy power role.

[Flavor Leaf]

I really like the Superstar role. A lot, actually.

I think the Invoker could be used better as a Variant slot before moving to the Boon Bank, haha.

Anyone else have comments on those 2 roles?

[TemporalLich]

I think Invoker might have more use of being a Variant as it can potentially invoke any ability as a Variant. Though I am liking the weak Invoker and kinda want Alignment Cop to be added to the rolebook (there are five alignments that exist without needing a variant or multiball).

[Flavor Leaf]

Damn, I thought I was gonna take a break from modding since I’ve been modding for over a year straight now with no breaks...

But it’s time to start designing a BooneyToonz game, guys.

[Flavor Leaf]

If BEF plans on queuing soon, I’ll give it some time, though.

I like this for Boon Bank, but I’ll wait for more people to agree with it. This eventually could even get put into the roleblock, i feel.

[callforjudgement]

One issue with Superstar is that it necessarily creates huge amounts of modWIFOM: you can know the mod added it to the setup, but can't know why. So the game turns into something of a psychological battle between mod and player, when it should be a psychological battle between player and player.

[Boonskiies]

There can only be one Boon Bank role in the game, save for variants, so I feel that’s a little more limited. I agree that it creates mod WIFOM in setup spec, though, but I think there could be creative stuff with it.

[Boonskiies]

Also...I did it, guys. I ended up designing another game...I’m going to /in to mod for it soon.

Classic BooneyToonz Experience, BooneyToonz flavor, SHAKESPEARE EDITION.

21p Role Madness.

[chennisden]

A small non-insane boonytoons would be a) completely out of character and b) interesting

Yeah, this was supposed to be that, but I can’t do the Bard’s characters dirty.

I will put it out there, this is a rather tame role madness game, because I was going for classic.

[Flavor Leaf]

Maybe BEF’s game will fit that.

[BrightEyedFish]

You can go first. I'm still working out the kinks.

[Boonskiies]

My next game is going to be a BooneyToonz Upick, which, ironically, won’t follow the typical guidelines of a BooneyToonz game, so definitely would like someone to mod another official BooneyToonz game. I wanna see someone really find a niche within the BT games.
