I'd like a reviewer or two for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Mafia. I've had some excellent help for designing it, but now that it's at a runnable draft I want someone who hasn't seen any of it before for fresh eyes.
Please note that this is a game with NO vanilla townies and in fact, NO standard roles. It's also a Large Theme. Reviewing this will take a decently large time commitment, and I'd rather have no reviewers then have people reviewer-flake and stall the game progressing further.
I'm willing to cross-review, but not cross-design, since my design is done.
Also - don't review if you'd rather play. It's gonna be great~"Don’t buy a dozen eggs if you just want a hardboiled egg. Don’t buy a head of lettuce if you just want a salad. Don’t buy eggs and lettuce if you want egg salad because those are not the right ingredients." -Julius Bloop-

I need a one or actully two reviewers to review my mini theme setup "The Lion, the Witch and Wardrobe" the first part of the Chronicles of Narnia Seires that I am moderating this year. Its a normal setup, I have role and character information designed already. Flavor is completely my own fiction. If any senior mod can review it and confirm the setup. I ll be greatfull.
And also if anyone would like to co-mod this setup with me, I ll be happy with it (preferably experienced mods)Inatimeofancientgods,warlordsandkings,alandinturmoilcriedoutforahero.ShewasXena,amightyprincessforgedintheheatofbattle.Thepower,thepassion,thedanger.Hercouragewillchangetheworld-Xena Warrior Princess, Coming Soon!!-

Would like 2-3 reviewers for a theme game based on subdividing the town into 3 allied sub factions; said division would have no impact on wincon, but would affect certain night actions.
Basic design is role madness, but I'm not terribly opposed to scrapping PRs for vanilla to make it balanced.
This is the first game I've ever designed, so I'm probably pretty shit at balancing.
Closed setup is imperative.
Familiarity with Final Fantasy XI would be a definite asset, but not required. Theme is vanilla FFXI, no add-ons or expansions beyond possibly Zilart (there is at least one character from post-Rank 5 city missions) are referenced.-

I would like if a couple of reviewers for my large 20 player Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time openly multiball theme game. It looks reasonably balanced to me, but then I've never done this before so fresh, experienced eyes would be helpful.

Sooner or later I'll need two reviewers for a setup for the show "Once Upon a Time" (season 1). At least one of the reviewers will need show knowledge. Will be a mini themed.No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Hey, guys, so I'm currently designing (yet another) RPG Mafia game. Currently designed as a mini theme game, but if successful, could be run as other sizes.
It's a Mastin-designed game, soooooooooo...
-Expect there to be far too much going on. You'll probably be recommending I streamline things.
-Expect there to be some obvious balance flaw that I haven't taken into consideration. You'll probably be telling me how to fix it. (Largely tied to the above. )
-Expect there to be walls of text that don't cover the mechanics in as explicit detail as you'd prefer; you'll likely need to do a lot of reading and ask for lots of clarifying.
-Expect this game to be unusual.
-Expect this game to, even with streamlining, be swingy. (The goal of the review is to make sure the swinginess is balanced, and to try and lessen the amount of swinginess. It'll pretty much be impossible to remove entirely, ESPECIALLY given the concept behind the game relies on players! Players you can't predict before-hand, who are almost certainly not going to act the way you expect them to.)
-Expect me to be stubborn about making changes, so explain in great detail every change you recommend even if you think that it goes without saying.
-Expect to be involved slightly in the design. (I have almost everything done, but experience points, AP, and to some extent, MP all need to be set/refined. Because I don't want to do this step until all the others have been covered. )
If you're up for the challenge, give me a shout.My academy.

Need a reviewer to look over a game me and Kuribo are making.
Mastin, I'm willing to review, but that sounds almost like a mish mash game. There's nothing wrong with that, but there's a point where the mafia format is less of a platform and more of a hindrance (my Resistance probably went there)ShowThat which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil

It's definitely a mafia game, trust me. Potentially a longer game (but this is nothing new of a Mastin-modded game ), yes, but nothing even remotely like Chess "Mafia".In post 2372, GreyICE wrote:Mastin, I'm willing to review, but that sounds almost like a mish mash game.

It's highly akin to AurorusVox's RPG Mafia games, which most certainly were more mafia than RPG. It's just that, unlike AurorusVox, I'm not good at balancing RPG mechanics.If you're still interested in the review of the mafia-RPG game, I'll send you a PM.Spoiler: off-topic

Right, so I've got a full team of reviewers, now. GreyICE would bump the total up to five if he wants to, but even if he declines, four should be enough.In post 2373, mastin2 wrote:It's definitely a mafia game, trust me.
