I am looking for a few people to review a Mini theme for me, as well as someone to back up mod it with me.

The mini is based around the fact that there are 4 cops in the game: Paranoid, Insane, Naive, Real. They will all know the others exist, but have no clue as to their own sanity.

If interested please send me a PM and i'll let you know what i am looking at right now.

Thanks
Chad

I'm willing to commit at least 6 hours to reviewing an open or semi-open normal game, with an emphasis on perfecting the role PMs and rule set.

If you are interested and you are a new mod and you are already in the Mini-normal or Open game queue, just send me a PM.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can help me with balancing a game (not being played on here, though):

Closed Setup
Day Start
Includes a few original role ideas
20 players

It'd be greatly appreciated if I could get a review tonight or tomorrow, but it's okay if it doesn't happen. Feel free to contact me via PM. Thanks a bunch in advance!

{Edit} Nevermind. Thanks anyway, guys!

cool, thanks. I will have to write it all out though, at least the fundamental parts of the game first. I'll send it through when I'm done.

I'm sure you could come up with some good twists on it, especially with some MiNd-AlTeRiNg PRs thrown in

I want someone to go over:

Generations Mafia
- Each player only has to play one day of the game, and one night. Then their children take over. It will be small numbers of roles but a large number of players. Want someone to look over this as it will probably be my next game.
and
Godmother Mafia
- Basically normal but with a town variation of the godfather, Still in the early days of planning

I forgot:
Use of Time Mafia
- Town has a limited amount of time per day that they can either spend lynching many people, investigating players or determining their alignment. Posting uses up time also.
Below example shows how time may be used:
Lynch = 30 Minutes
Determining Dead Players alignment = One Hour
Determining Dead Players Role = Two Hours

etc. Town will have a certain amount of time each day, and the number of players will affect the amount of time it takes to do something (Though mafia can corrupt certain activities, if they search the room with incriminating evidence would you really trust them to reveal all?)

It's not confidential, this has potential.

The set-up, however, is confidential, the mechanics can be altered by some roles. Say... for example:

Daylight Savings TimeYou are that dastardly invention
Daylight Savings Time
, when it gets to spring you can't help but take away an hour of our life can you?

Once per game you can set the date for daylight savings time and the clock will go forward by one hour. You can do this once per night, however, all time is merely borrowed and when you die all time shall return to the town.


Okay, bad example but see what I mean?

I think that has potential Max, although I'd rather see that set-up run as mostly vanilla/normal roles. It gets too difficult to play normal mafia when you know there are some weird roles that affect mechanics. The mechanics will be fresh and exciting, and still not fully understood how to play them optimally. You don't need to introduce wacky mechanic altering roles that the vanilla players can't predict, because it makes it unnecessarily chaotic and random, and cheapens the initial interesting mechanic.

Yeah, you risk confusing all strategy if you run it the first time with a ton of time-altering power roles (and obscuring breaking strategies to avoid in future games). Start easy and add in next time, for the most part.... it does sound interesting though.

My main aim is for it to be very simple, but I intended to have the mafia with time issues at night with their discussion etc. That is really what I want checking as I don't want the town getting a hold of it. The rest can and will be made public. If any additional powers they'll be weak.

I'm looking for a reviewer and/or backup mod for a large theme based on Star Wars (original trilogy). It's going to be a ~21-23 player game with fairly normal voting/killing mechanics but potentially complex role interactions. Reviewers should be familiar with the source material to be able to comment on flavor. Send me a PM if interested.

Hi everyone, I have a mini normal game coming up quite soon. Would love to spend a couple of hours talking about balancing and refining a set-up or two I have planned. Some experience in set-up design is prefered, but I'm not overly picky. Must love cats.

Hey peeps, I'm finished with the rough draft of my first large normal.
Looking for 2-3 people to review the basic set-up for balance and to answer a few questions which require knowledge of the set-up. Should be very brief but requires that you not play the game. I also ask that you only respond if you've modded at least one large game.


Thank you mykonian, Plum, and Hoopla! I'll send the setup to you ASAP.
Record:
Town 10W/15L
Scum 4W/1L
Other 2W/2L
Newbie 1L

AlmasterGM sent me a very polite and professional PM asking for a review. Unfortunetly I don't have the time to do a review anymore.

I hope someone else helps him out!
