The New Set-Up Review Thread

[Gamma Emerald]

Undertale Mafia. Large theme game for 22 players. It's a bastard game, so expect some shenanigans. (Also probably my last modded game on the site, so I want to go out with a bang.) Shoot me a PM if you'd like to help out.

Peace.

Oooh, this looks fun...

laughs maniacally

I know I'm still new to the site, but I've run mafia style games on another forum that I RP on.

I have several different ideas that I haven't put into action yet, and am just looking to get feedback on.

Themes

Marvel vs. Hydra (not Hydra accounts)
Murder at a Masquerade Party
Witches

Go to the Theme Test Market for this.

[Gamma Emerald]

For explicitly non-Normal roles: can they be included in Normal games at the expense of a new role slot?

[Gamma Emerald]

This should probably go in the Normal Guidelines topic.

@Whoever has the power to do this: please move the last 2 posts to the Normal Guidelines topic.

[Gamma Emerald]

Also I have a Mini Normal I'd like to have reviewed. Please PM me for more details.

[Gamma Emerald]

I need a balance review for a 9-player micro, closed setup, fantasy flavour, mostly normal roles. PM please!

I think you need at least one game of modding experience before you can mod a Micro.

[Gamma Emerald]

Describe the game.

Flavor/idea behind it

[Gamma Emerald]

Would like some reviewers for Hateful Eight Mafia, 9p micro with special mechanics regarding reveals

[Gamma Emerald]

I need a reviewer with good knowledge of balance to inspect a setup. It's close to functional, I just need to ensure it's not balanced in one side's favor. It's a Mini Theme, 13 players.

Taken care of

Need help reviewing a game 13p game based on the Five Mafia families. Been out of this for like 3 years now so forgot what exactly is balance/now considered balance.

On that note, has there been a change to how the site groupthink feels about certain roles? Similar to how at one point we made the transition from 12p minis to 13p minis?

There has been a change here. The most recent is the inclusion of Loyal in the Normal Modifiers.

I need a couple more eyes here since my previous helper is really slow to respond

Handled!

[Gamma Emerald]

Would like a reviewer with good knowledge of general setup balance for a themed micro based on Splatoon. The game has no experimental elements.

EDIT: taken care of!

[Gamma Emerald]

Looking for reviewers for a Mini Normal. Thanks

Once you /in to mod in the Normal Queue, Nexus will assign you a review team. As such, there's not much point in having a separate review beforehand.

top keke

[Gamma Emerald]

Need a reviewer or two for my Booneytoonz iteration I plan to run. The setup is guaranteed to be very wild.
Edit: it’s taken care of.

[Gamma Emerald]

OH FUCK THAT'S HAPPENING NOW

[Gamma Emerald]

Anyone down to help review a probably bastard Large Theme? Knowledge of computers advised.

[Gamma Emerald]

Hey it’s Wake88!
As for the numbers I’d say like 30 people would be a good size if you want 6 person teams

[Gamma Emerald]

Math works different for multiball
My analysis of common trends tells me the ratio is generally 2/5s of the game is scum in a multiball

[Gamma Emerald]

For Normals you /in to mod and a certified reviewer looks at your setup

[Gamma Emerald]

NO INESTIGATION ALLOWED

a normal game without investigative roles

Confirmed 10v3 closed setup. A significant portion of town will not be VT. Roles are chosen from this pool:

I need reviews. Co-mods/ backup mods welcomed. PM me.

when it comes to normal games they are reviewed by a specific group that looks at your setup after you /in to the queue

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah I’m seeing it too
I think TK is abusing leftover mod privileges from a past game to repeatedly bump the topic

[Gamma Emerald]

Need an extra reviewer for my 14p anything UPick to examine worst-case scenarios

[Gamma Emerald]

Looking for a setup reviewer or two for a large theme. The roles in play will be simple but I’d advise experience with running/designing large and/or complex games.

[Gamma Emerald]

would help if you posted

what the actual themeing was
