Do you take pre-ins? If so, I'd like to /pre-in

Not at this stage, but I will PM when I am closer to running it.

I just thought of something interesting:

SAT mafia

Kindof similar to normal mafia, except everyone gets a second win condition of filling in a 15 Q test. top 3 wins regardless.
Questions can only be filled in the night, and even killed can fill questions.
Everyone also gets 3 night actions in addition to any other night actions they might have:

Cheat, cover, or catch

Cheat allows you to choose a player and a question number. You will learn what s/he entered on the question.
Cover allows you to block 2 questions. If a player attempts to cheat on these questions, they will get blanks.
Catch makes you declare a player. If the player tries to cheat off you, they will be caught and disqualified, and they can no longer win via test. However, if you attempt to catch 2 times unsucessfully, you are disqualified, and cant win.
Disqualified and dead players cant use above actions.

So what do you think

^I love it!
pre-/in if possible.

What would stop someone from just Googling the answers? I don't think it would work very well on the honor system.

Are you allowed to cheat from dead players?

my questions will be either self made or from the Collegeboard books (you'll be hard pressed to find answers of those online). So there won't be answers online. Maybe they'd ask for help somewhere, but hopefully I can shame others into not helping
And you can't interact with dead players in any way, nor can dead players interact with living players

Sounds fun. I might play if I'm not overloaded with other games

Why would the honor system not work if mafia is in itself a game based on honor?

Because googling an answer is much easier and far less risky than most methods of cheating in mafia.

Would anyone be interested in The Wire mafia? There are too many epic characters that I'd run it as a choose-your-side (Barksdale's Crew/Daniel's Detail/Other) and figure out roles/alignments once choices are in.

Yep. I was actually considering running one a little bit ago, but was struggling which people to include

Influenced by GNR's Disney Villains Mafia, I'm wondering: Has Batman Villains Mafia been done before?

Reck did Arkham City, not Batman Villains. (Slight difference? I mean the villains were town and all but still)

Has anybody ever done a Broadway-themed game?
Or musical theatre-themed, or something of that nature?

Guy_Named_Riggs · Post Post #3570 (ISO) » Tue Oct 09, 2012 8:12 am

I don't know if anyone has, but I would be glad to help or play in that game
