would there be interest for a darkest dungeon mini theme?


Basically everyone would be one of the various heroes of the game
I'd use a few mechanics from the game, positioning, stress and town events come to my mind first
And i'd try to reduce as much as possible the inherently random nature of the game it's taken from

all survivors mafia is a terrible idea and worst thing you could do is add two cult leaders

In post 4927, Doctor Drew wrote: I seem to remember a game a few years ago where every player were given a a secret alt by the mod, kind of to avoid too much meta talk.

I have had an idea brewing that kind of takes this idea but really turning the volume up.

All signups are secret, only by PM's to the game mod, who assigns a secret alt account to them. The actual player list is not publicly revealed, not yet at least.

Let's say it is a 13p game, at game start a potential player list is revealed of 18p stating that 13 of these 18 Mafia scum players are in this game.

The setup of the game would be fairly normal(daytime lims, night time factional NK and normal town/scum PR's).

But......

The big twist is that if you target a player with any night action you have to guess who, out of the 18 players listed, said player is.

This is where I am I not sure exactly how that would work, since it would be very difficult figuring out who you are targeting, especially in early game. I figured there could be mod hints, either public or private, and various lifelines that can be utilized to try to figure out a players identity.

Anyone think there is some meat to this bone?

I need some smarter setup people to try to mold this ball of clay into something special.......or tell me I am an idiot haha.
While mafia is a pretty different thing from survivor, as someone's who has played quite a few games of that here, you wouldn't belive how hard ID guessing is, even if the person in question isn't really hiding it

besides i'm not sure guessing who's behind each account is a mechanic that would attract a lot of people

agree with alianna on how it should be implemented should you feel inclined to run it regardless

In post 4940, DragonEater70 wrote: How would people like to play any of the following?

1. A 13p Mini Theme based on the Trojan War, where Trojans are the uninformed majority and Greeks are the informed minority.

2. A Mini Theme set in space that is standardly designed but has certain uPick-like elements inside the game (flavored as an advanced AI that grants inventions based on your imagination)

3. A game where the roles are based on MafiaScum users (for example, the role "Alianna" would be an IC, for obvious reasons)
for 1 we're gonna need more info, like, yeah trojan war, this can go a lot of ways lol

2 could be interesting but it's a very dangerous concept, basically you need to make sure the game won't boil down to "how do i break the game"

i think 3 has already been done so there's somewhat of an audience for that i guess

1 just design and see if you like it then, kinda hard to ask for feedback on a closed

2 i mean, not really? There a difference between "oooh pick a role you'll like" and "Yeah ok so you have an alignement agenda and everything, now's the time to win the game"

3 could be interesting for me but maybe you'd need help from some more experience users if you want your game to feel somewhat representative, or like, idk, stuff like that certainely needs work

Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (the good one), Pokemon (or Palworld)... would anybody be down for a highly-flavored Favorite Video Game UPick or smth like that? Baldur's Gate 3 would be some kind of empowered Neighborizer (bc
"companionship"
is the name of the game), Stardew Valley could be something like a Paranoid Fruit Vender ( e.g. are they giving you a lovely Gold Star Goat Cheese or an evil False Magma Cap that'll kill ya? they dunno, i dunno, we dunno :) ), you get the idea

:P
great idea, love it

Would there be interest in a DIsco Elysium themed game which would basically be based around post restrictions / have a fair bit of moderator interaction?

It would still be mafia of course, but more immersive hopefully
