Hi there everyone.
I'm looking for a reviewer for Lynch The Wolves, an
18p Large Theme
.
The important thing to know:
In post 1251, mastina wrote:Game was designed to be "Alisae-lite". As in, a game inspired by the aesthetic of an Alisae game. It is
not
role madness, but it is far, far, far, FAR from mountainous.
I don't anticipate much balance work (in spite of the inspiration), but you're probably in for quite a lot of reading/proofreading/asking about interactions to check my work, as it were.

Bumping this because it's been a week and I still need this.

Literally the holdup for this game is that I don't have it reviewed.

Many of my games I can run without reviews because those games are kosher to run without a review thanks to mechanics, but this game actually has a NEED for a review and I can't begin the game until it's completed.


Edit:
Unless they run away screaming in terror, SirCakez and Ircher should have me covered. <3

looking for a reviewer for a 13-player closed setup. I haven't fully put together a first draft for the setup, but I have enough in place to begin discussing it.

I need some help with designing my first mini theme game. I'm currently going to mod an open game then sign up to mod what I'm thinking will be a 13 player game of American Presidency Mafia.

I have really no clue how to balance a game so it might take a while for me to learn


Oh, hey, I've got two reviewers helping me out. I should remove this.

Thanks to Lycanfire and insanity.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

Yo so I need a reviewer for a unique* game that is technically hydra only but only because I assign people in pairs as hydras.

It will probably be hosted as a large theme game so if you do review then make sure you qualify for that - but even if you don't then feel free to PM me anyway because I'm mainly looking for feedback on the setup rather than someone to sign off on it officially.

*I think it's unique at least, I haven't seen any other game like it but I might be wrong.
I mostly just lurk now.

I have a friend who's looking for help on an offsite role-madness game. If someone would take a look at it for him that would be great, just PM me and I'll set you up.

Need help setting up a game based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I'm looking at making this a large theme, by the way, my first of the type.


Nevermind, it's too much for me with my work schedule right now. Later.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.

Hiya, I could use a reviewer for a 9p pokémon themed game. It features some really outlandish mechanics, but I don't think it would be classified as bastard.

Thanks.

Looking for a 'reviewer' for a 13p with nonstandard mechanics. Emphasis on checking for fun over balance, so experience is less important in this case.


Taken, thanks! :mrgreen:

Hey there, I need some helpers for Anime U-Pick King Size, a 19p Large Theme U-Pick which is (hopefully) not bastard (but might be role madness, who knows? It's a U-Pick). This is a U-Pick means the role list will pop up when all players have signed up and sent their picks (Any anime character from 2010s). (Setup helper greatly appreciated!)

Please PM me if you would like to help. I hope to get this thing up for real this time! Thanks!

I'm looking for a reviewer for an upcoming 13 player Upick I'll be running based on the YouTube channel Drawfee. while it will help if you have familiarity with the source material, it's a free video series on the internet, so any research required to understand the flavor will be pretty simple and relatively effortless.

I'd like to start this around the beginning of 2019. you'll need to be available for a pretty quick turnaround as soon as it fills. I have a good sense of what kind of setup I want this to be, but I'm not sure how much I'll reveal publicly before it begins, so if your willingness to review it depends on how strange the setup is, PM me.

edit: I have two reviewers for this now, so I don't think I need more than that!

Hello, I'm looking for a reviewer for a 10-player theme game with original flavour. Roles and flavour are already written, but as the game deals with unique win conditions it should probably be reviewed first. I'm hoping to start this a bit after christmas, if possible.

Thank you!

Looking for reviewers for a very bastard, 13-player mini theme called No Rules Mafia. Mostly looking for balance, but also looking to have any potential issues of roles not making sense ironed out.

Also, if anyone wants to be a back-up moderator, I'd love to have one on standby.

EDIT: I've found one reviewer, but more eyes are always welcome, and I'd still like to have a backup mod.

Looking for a reviewer/think tank:

Spoiler:
In the Micro Queue, Maestro wrote:
Game Name:
Religion
+
"Balance" The Cult


Game Type:
Theme/Open (further information for ListMod will follow)
Game Size:
9

Co/Backup Mod:
None as of now

Reviewed By:
Accepting offers and searching


Hydrae Allowed?:
Nope
Other Restrictions?:
No hard restriction (strongly recommend 3 or more games on-site, with at least 1 "heavy" theme game)
Deadlines?:
1-week Day phases, 2-day Night phases
Is it possible your game has any of the following bastard roles or mechanics?
explicitly Yes (further information for ListMod will follow)

Description:
During Bastard++ I became fascinated with the idea of balancing otherwise "bastard" mechanics. And religion is also interesting, though in a more at-a-distance, clinical sense, like cocaine. We used to think it was a lot better for us than it actually is, and I'm glad not as many people do it anymore. Do people actually read these or do you just decide on a game after reading the title? I'm on a horse.
