The New Set-Up Review Thread

[Maemuki]

So...I want to mod a Large Normal, and I just made a setup in 5 seconds (ok, not really), but I don't know if it's balanced or not...so...anybody wants to help me? :3

Lol, Mae, just shoot me a PM, you know you can do that =) And you know I have a bit of a very very strong dislike for playing large games.

I need someone to look over my latest Mafia project, a Mini Theme which I redid from ideas I had before leaving. It's 12 players, very non-standard roles and flavor. I'm looking for someone well-versed to act as a reviewer and possibly as a back-up mod if interested. The theme is concepts and characters taken from the music of the band The Mars Volta.

In need of 1 more reviewer for my madness Star Control theme game coming up soon!

[danakillsu]

Looking for a single review of a Mini Normal Setup. PM me if interested. I'm especially looking for someone who is good at balancing setups.

[sorasgoof]

I have a setup created. This is the first setup I have ever created, so some helpful/constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

It's a Mini Normal Setup. You can either reply here or PM me if you want to review it. Ideally, I'd like at least two people to review it.

EDIT: I have had one person review the game, and it "passed." I'd like to have one more person review it, but it really isn't necessary.

I'm looking for a backup mod and setup reviewer for a large theme designed by DTMaster and myself. It's based on Kingdom of Loathing. PM me if you're willing to help out!

I'm looking for several *cough 3-5* reviewers for Thrillvile Mafia.

Willing to cross review.

[Kise]

PM me if anyone is interested in helping co-design a series of Final Fantasy related mafia games. Roles have been thought of; need help with balancing the factions. It's looking like a 4 or 5 part series at the moment.

EDIT: Thanks!

Okay, it's time for me to be ambitious.

I have two Mini Themes, and I'm willing to run either one once they're ready.

The catch is that I'm kind of half-done with both and don't know where to go from here. Thus, I would like some help putting the setup(s) together. (not just reviewing)

One of the setups "

Mafia at the 11^th Hour

" is reasonably "out there" and the other setup "

Mafia User Personality

" is rather much "out there", so some amount of knowing what you're doing will be necessary. Of course, you can opt to just help with one setup and that will be the one I run.

Please PM me. Thank you in advance!

Looking for a reviewer for

Go Play in Traffic!

, which will be a 16-player large theme. I want an experienced theme game mod for this as I need help thinking of flavor for a number of the roles.

I'm looking for one more reviewer for Picto Mafia II.

Edit: Thanks to mykonian and Vi!

If it's something I can do, I'll try.
I loved reading Pictomafia I and look forward to lurking through a sequel.

I got one. Still looking for some more, though.

Got 2 more. If you want to help, I'm still willing. the more, the merrier!

[Espeonage]

My first game as mod will be coming up soon and I would like someone to have a look over my proposed set-up before I start drafting the role PMs and such.
It is for a Mini Normal.

I also have a rather un-orthadox role in mind and I am unsure if I should leave that concept for a theme game.

Just drop me a line if you want to have a squiz.

[iLord]

Looking for a reviewer(s) for

Everyone's a Hero Mafia

, which is a 12-player Dr. Horrible themed game. It'd be nice for someone both experienced and acquainted with the theme to review it, but I'll take anyone willing to look at it. I'm willing to cross-review, so if you're interested, please PM me.

ZOMG that's a win. I'll review it if you like.

Game I plan to run some day

2 goons
8 townies
1 town doctor
1 mafia traitor - doesn't know scum and scum don't know him but he wins with scum

after players are randomly given these roles i will randomly give out neighbor assignments

Roll dice among all players. first person rolled is in neighbor group 1 along with his other role. Second person rolled is also in neighbor group 1 along with whatever role they already are. Do this 3 times for a total of 3 neighbor groups. Don't think I'll allow a player to be in multiple neighbor groups. I think the mentioned power roles combined with random neighboring should be fairly balanced and interesting in terms of strategies you could organize. Only way traitor gets to talk to and find out who is scum is by luck and doctor could find a good team mate could find out alot about a buddy or a teamate. Just got to figure out if i should allow mafia to be randomly neighbors with mafia. I think they should be allowed should luck make it happen. Afterall is they are together other pairs would likly go to town and that may keep things interesting.

[Max]

So the mafia traitor in effect has to formulate cases against townie players?

[MacavityLock]

I've got an as yet unfinished setup that I'd like to get reviewed. It's for a mafia game based on The Wire, so if you'd be psyched about that kind of game, don't offer to review. Thanks in advance!

[PokerFace]

yep and the neighbor thing could be useful to just about all players in that scenario

doctor getting it means he could get a cool team work thing going. Goons and traitor get easy time duping town or possibly figuring out who his on which side. And town can get interigation info from their neighbors pretty easy too.

Interesting elements pretty well down but i need a snappy title and a better balance perspective in case i am missing any odd/bad scenarios. Never hurts to get a second opinion

Edit: And Yes Mr. Rogers = PF for those not in the know

[MichelSableheart]

I have a large normal that I believe is ready to run.

I'm looking for about 3 reviewers to discuss the setup in quicktopic. Hopefully, the fact that the reviewers can see each others comments will lead to more discussion and a better review overall. Besides, because they'll be able to see how others do their reviews, the reviewers might learn something from this as well.

It would be fantastic if one of the reviewers is also willing to backup mod, but that may be asking a bit much.

If you're willing to help me out, please sent a pm.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Three reviewers found (thanks, Plum, Patrick and Elmo!). If more people are interested in reviewing, feel free to contact me, but that extra pair of eyes is not strictly necessary.

[MacavityLock]

By the way, for my The Wire game I plan to have some interesting and new cop mechanics, which is why I definitely need reviewers. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks, various people helping me out!
