Nuh-uh, it's my own 100% unique idea no one else can do it.

[Alisae]

3 Unique High Quality Mods mod this game.
Each phase they have to pick a mod to play their setup for that phase.
Maybe the setups are public or not? Who knows.
Either way sounds fun.

[Varsoon]

You mentioned wanting to co-mod a game with me and I think that'd be the most fun co-modding experience I can think of.
In the past, when I was a co-mod or backup, I usually took backseat to whoever was really running the show
But having three mods make three different setups, then having players rotate between the three would be really neat.
It'd also get me off my ass and make a setup!

I'd love to see Varsoon make an Undertale game, there was the bastard one in 2016 but I feel Varsoon working his magic would be outstanding

[Varsoon]

Curious if a game that's mafia at its core but has an added prisoner's dilemma game would work or if it'd be too easy for players to 'game'.

Basically, I just finished the video game Virtue's Last Reward. In that, there are 9 players all competing to earn 9 points. Whoever gets to 9 points wins. If you lose all your points, you die. At regular intervals, players are paired up to vote against each other: they can either ally or betray. If both players ally, they earn 2 points. If both betray, their points don't change. If one allies and the other betrays, then the allying player loses 2 points and the betraying player gains 3 points. On top of that, at least one of the players in the game is a killer, complicating how people think they should be allying/betraying.

I was wondering if this would translate to a workable mafia setup and if people would want to play it. I'd probably keep normal lynch/kill mechanics but I'd also have the whole ally/betray game as an alternate win condition and way to kill players.

I'm curious if anyone would be interested in the flavor, dunno how many people are familiar with 999 or VLR, but I think those games would appeal a lot to mafia players.

Yeah, I actually shelfed my undertale setup out of deference to the other mods who wanted to run themed games for it, then ended up not running my setup because I felt too many of the same theme game back to back would be a bit lame for players. I usually wanna run themes that haven't been explored recently.

I also like themes that I really love, because my passion helps me care more about building neat, fitting roles, rather than half-assing it.

Vanilla game with those mechanics?

[Varsoon]

Yeah, or, well, pretty much close to vanilla.
If anything, I would NOT give people roles that help them with the Ally/Betray mechanics or to avoid kills/cause more deaths.
I was also considering making it even more closely tied to the actual game in that each night phase would feature teams of people in isolated threads solving a 'puzzle', and if I did that, then it'd be easier to make roles specifically designed around players solving said puzzles/'beating' the rooms they were in. I dunno.

[Venmar]

Would anybody be interested if I was to develop a Lord of the Rings large theme? It's been 4+ years since the theme was used as a mini theme.

[Varsoon]

I'd be up for it, but only if I could be a wizard or a dwarf.

Has there been one since children of hurin?

I don't recall, but if there is another one, I'm in

Hey there all! I’m co-modding the

Civilization 5 UPick Large Theme

that’s in sign-ups right now - Venmar and I have two spots left open, and we could use a waiting list. Hydrae need not apply. If you were on the fence, get off it and come join us!

Death Mafia

Flavor will feature black/dark humor and undead lore.

All power roles will be death-related, ranging from Vengeful variants to powers that work on dead players to power roles that still have actions after death. There will be some interaction between the dead thread and the main game thread, so the dead thread will be 100% spoiler free.

There will be more roles than usual, but it will not be vanillaless. (Though the vanillas might actually be named townies with no powers)

I'm looking for reviewers and a backup mod.

[LicketyQuickety]

Not for a theme but...

Would people be interested in playing a game where you can give and take away abilities from players for things regarding voting?

Bump.

Obviously this means we (Maker and I) are going to have come up with some creative roles that are new. I think it's going to be a good game, but I just would like to know there is some interest for this sort of game.

[Gamma Emerald]

Um sounds cool?

[Elbirn]

Speaking of, I have a bunch of theme ideas in my back pocket but no clue what people even want to play.

Megaman Battlenetwork, Dragon's Crown, Legend of 5 Rings, Magic the Gathering, Sacrifice, Sengoku BASARA, Samurai Jack, Mike Tyson Mysteries, Yakuza, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Gundam: Universal Century, Undertale, the list goes on...

Basically, I just don't know what I want to commit 6+ months to again.

I'd play any of those
Especially Mike Tyson/samurai jack

Cheetory6 proposed an awful/great idea where I just mash all those setups into one.

So.
Would anyone actually want to play a game where, each day, players must vote on a new setup to play for the next day/night phase. Each setup swap would completely give people all new role cards and public mechanics, abandoning the old ones?

This however might be trying too hard. That or I'm just an awful naysayer

[Elbirn]

Oh

Someone make a Darkest Dungeon Mafia, because I legally cannot.

[Varsoon]

Andrius ran a Darkest Dungeon setup awhile ago that was designed to be run as a part of a series of games.
Don't think he ever ran the next one, but each game would focus on a single Dungeon from the game.
Was pretty neat.

[Lycanfire]

Andrius did well with Darkest Dungeon. I was more critical of Darkest Dungeon than I should have been. I think I was salty after some crazy vig shot me.

[Elbirn]

Already happened. This is why I don't have ideas.

Uhhhm.....yeah that's all I've got, nowadays I play that and dead by daylight and I don't think that really works

[LicketyQuickety]

I like this avatar much better Elbirn. Does more to capture your personality.
