I

bookmarked this thread just for setups like that, but I'd rather be in this one - sorry Rob <3

NICE AVI THOUGH

Well, you CAN'T have scum masons unless you want it to be bastard. Mason = confirmed town to the partner. I think you're looking for neighbor, which is the role where alignment is not confirmed.

As for lovers, you almost definitely want one scum lover slot in there if you're going to have 3 town lovers in the list.

I stil think Scum Masons shouldn't be a thing...but Werewolf Masons ARE in the Vanilla (lol) Great Idea Mafia setup

[Maestro]

I stated explicitly in the Role PMs that they are NOT confirmed Town.

I will put in one each.

If you mean the masons, the entire point of the role is to have 2-3 people who know each other are conftown. Saying they're explicitly not conftown negates that purpose.

Unless you mean the neighbors, in which case there's no problem.

basically my thoughts on Scum "Masons" - they're not Masons if they're not confTown, that simple

[Maestro]

no it doesn't because they're still called Masons and that implies confTown?

[Maestro]

Werewolf Masons DO exist already, but I disagree with those too

*shrug* Masons = confTown to me, so you'd definitely need a new modifier IMO

[Maestro]

I'd like a quick review of my intended UPick setup.
Not necessarily for 100% balance; they've been warned.

Just wanna make sure I'm not completely insane.

Anybody here like Civ V?

Looking for a couple pro-Hydra reviewers for a small setup.

Also looking for lovers of Greek mythology (the "other Hydra lovers") to discuss a different setup.

Bumping this because it got stuck at the bottom of the page...

The first one is more important to me than the second.
(I also have two for the second, thanks BE and Rob. I'll start that Private Topic soon.)

[Maestro]

Any interest in a Rick & Morty-themed game? Mini or Large depending on show of hands - I'm qualified to run either and I'm already thinking up a setup. Anybody who'd like to co-mod / review or something-other-than-play can PM me or whatever.

Anybody else interested in helping on the balance end?
I'd really prefer somebody with Large Theme experience. Thanks!

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.

Woah blast from the past
