I've been wanting to run a successful Sci-fi Time Travelling game for ages now. I have the thematic idea all mapped out, but I'm looking at ways to put it all together. I'm fairly sure time travelling games have been run before, though - so does anyone have any recommended reading (previous games) to look over before I embark fully on my journey?

I'm curious, would anyone want to see a Casshern Sins Mafia game? I've been watching it on Toonami and have really been enjoying it, so I have been thinking of running a game like this on here. It would probably be a nine-player set-up, so it's something quick to run. Not to mention it fits along the depressing nature of my Guns and Ropes: Midland Mini-Normal game.

If so, I will start working on a set-up.

I was in a reservoir dogs mini game I believe, but that was a long time ago.

Has there been an Avatar: The Last Airbender game? I don't think I've seen one.

^ Do this and I will /pre-in.

Also...I'll officially be qualified to run it after my sigged game finishes, but how do I request permission to pick up a concept previously abandoned after a Mod flaked?
For the specific situation, note that I am referring to Zajnet's Golden Sun Mafia - abandoned before Role PM's were even sent out during confirmation.

It will take quite awhile to make my way up through the Coney Island queue, but at this point I believe there'd still be enough interest and if Zajnet's out there I'd love to hear what he had in mind for the Setup.

Any other takers who'd be interested in about (oh, say) 3-4 months?

You don't need to request permission.

I'm going to do a "Bookshelf" Mafia Mini Theme, which will involve using characters from the books on my bookshelf.

The books include ASOIAF, The Farseer Trilogy, The Millennium Trilogy, Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl and a variety of other stuff.

13 players, pre-in by PMing me.

Has there been a Command & Conquer game ever run? I'd be interested in developing one to run in 3 or 4 months, would there be interest?

^Oh I found it. The set-up's pretty similar to what I had in mind. Herbivore as miller, T-Rex as SK... I might just have to give the game a different spin when I try it out some time in the future.

I've been thinking of running a Breaking Bad game in the Mini Theme once i'm able to mod one...

Would anyone be interested in it? More specifically, would it be allowed ( asking due to the content of the theme itself )

EDIT: Also, has it been ran before? I don't know if it has been.
I swear I'm trying my best

It has. Amrun ran one not too long ago. (And yeah, you can basically run whatever here.)

There's a lot of scope for the theme, though so you could easily run it again and do it differently.

I think Amrun's planning on running more BB games, one for each season.

But I'd probably /in for it. The last one was before season 5 aired, so I'd say enough time has past for it to be fresh.
I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.

Yeah, I was planning on doing each season with a modding team - but most of them seem to have flaked and I'm not passionate enough except for a unique mechanic idea I have that needs to be fleshed out a lot more.

Do what you want. I WAS planning on doing each season, but I don't want to hold you back. Alternatively, you could collaborate with me. I won't be heart broken if you don't - but fyi, I am particularly attached to Season 2.

In post 3462, drmyshotgun wrote:How about a theme park game where there are many (10-13) Town players, multiple (5-6) PRs, Few (2-3) Scums, and 3-4 Serial Killers.
Each day Town votes someone to get stabbed/lynched and if s/he's a SK or a special role, they survive the hit (counts as one stab, see further) but if a normal Townie, s/he will die.

As there will possibly be multiple deaths at night, we'll limit the deaths by making most or possibly all players be able to survive one stabbing at night.
So if a player gets targetted by one SK, s/he won't die, but if 2 or more target him/her, s/he will die.
Also, if s/he survives one stab at Night, when he gets stabbed once the next night, s/he will die.
But make some limited (maybe 2 players) players be able to kill with one shot.
Throw in some JK or Doctors, sounds like complicated as hell of a game.

Wanna discuss some possible mechanics?
