If you're willing to help, please PM me!
If you're interested in being a backup mod, please note that I will need someone who is around almost every day... (Yes, it's one of THOSE games.~)
I'd be happy to take a look in about a week if you still need help, Vi.
As it turns out, I'll be gone for a week...

Hopefully me and myko can be done by Saturday, and I can forward it to you while I'm gone. Will that do?
Sure. No rush, and if you don't need my help, don't feel obligated ;)

Hi there. Can we get games reviewed if we can't mod them yet? I need some help working out
Dreaming of You Mafia
. It's a theme game - probably a mini because I don't think I could handle running it as a large - based on no existing source material.

Anyone care to review OpenSource Mafia 2 for me? It's a 24 person large theme game.

Yes - it may take longer if there's a shortage of reviewers, but there's certainly no rule against it.

Well there's obviously no hurry to get through it, so that shouldn't be an issue. :D

So, any takers? Please post here or shoot me a PM if you're interested.

EDIT: Roles are typical but the mechanics are probably bastard - one of the things I'd like to work out for sure.
Also, it's not at a full setup stage at this point, though I have a few ideas. Suggestions for that will be welcome once the mechanics are solid.

I would like to have somebody look over my mini normal to make sure it is a normal game and to make sure of the balance.

I cant mod until two more months pass, but i still cant wait, hah.

What form does reviewing usually take? I have my game setup, role PMs and flavor all ready in PowerPoint and Keynote form, so I would like to use email. Or is there some other way to do it, normally?

In my experience, I've usually received setups I review in PMs. Usually the roles are just listed in a list in a PM. For more complicated setups, I've seen a QT. Personally, I use Excel sheets for setup designing, but then transfer them to a list in a PM.

And Faraday is awesome. Do whatever he says. lol :D

Also, remember that Ether is the new Normal Game reviewer. She won't necessarily check your balance, but she's appointed by mith for right now to check for normality.

If its a Normal Game, yeah. It shouldn't have too much flavor- hence Normal- so yeah. List roles and such.

Thanks for this. PM coming.

Oh and rest assured I'm still looking for second, third, etc. opinions. I really don't want to mess this one up.

In my game, there is flavor, but it means nothing.

I am far from qualified to review it but I will say I am loving the flavour. Good luck working it out.

Hello there.

I'm looking for someone to review my Mini Normal game that I'm planning on modding. I'll take any reviewers as long as they have modded at least one game.

Will give you the link to the thread by PM if you want to review my game. I'll take one or two reviewers.

Edit: Thank you MichelSableheart, Vi, and Hoopla!

ok, I don't know if I'm in the right place or if I'm doing this right, but I'm creating a Themed Mafia game for 19 players. The Theme is "Hunter X Hunter", and I like crazy mechanics almost to the point that sometimes the game doesn't even look like a Mafia game. Basically:

I don't like Vanilla Roles. Everyone has a certain kind of ability
I'm planning on adding a "Buy Phase" previous to each Day Phase. Basically players can buy cards that can help them in the game.

I'd say I have 50%~55% of the game advanced, and my major concern is balance of course. I've already modded 4 mafia games in a chilean forum (where spanish is the main language). I also want to receive some ideas on abilities, and cards "abilities" plus prices and stuff.

Although Hunter X Hunter knowledge is not necessary, it's recommended.

Anyone interested in revewing what I have so far and help me with what's left, send me a PM please.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for someone to review my 12 player mini theme. The game is a bit advanced, so someone with substantial experience would be appreciated. The main focus of the review would be preventing breakage, so if you like to try and break setups, this would be your cup of tea.

Thanks in advanced to any takers!


Many thanks to Vi, mykonian, and Friend!

I could use a review for my Urban Dead Mafia. A few interesting mechanics, but it's basically a simplified U-Pick with some twists thrown in. Not gonna be able to mod it for a few weeks, but I'd like to flesh out any and all potential problems. PM me if you're interested.
