Retro Horror Upick [cancelled]

~~~Retro Horror Upick~~~


  • Nineteen players square off in a game with flavor based on horror films from the 1970s and 1980s!
  • Flavor picks can also come from any film directed by John Carpenter between 1976 and 1988.
  • Flavor picks can be: characters from films (most popular) or directors
  • Flavor will not totally be alignment indicative (more below), so you're welcome to pick three survivor characters or three killer characters
  • When you sign up, PM me three picks of horror characters from that range. i.e., you could pick "Laurie Strode", "Michael Myers", and "Dr. Sam Loomis"
  • There will be a group scum faction of *at least two players*. There may be multiple group scum factions; there may be 2+ third party killers; there may be mafia traitors or larger group scum factions. There will be at least two group scum and at least two anti-town roles (which can also be group scum) at game start.
  • There will be at least twelve town players and at least two mafia players and *at least one* third party killing role.
  • 10 day day 1, 8 day dayphases after that, 2 day nights
  • Maximum of 9 additional hydra heads (so theoretically up to 9 2-player hydras) -- first come, first serve. All hydras must sign consistently or make it clear which head is posting and have a single handle associated with their hydra name. While stealth hydras are OK, the handle of which head is posting should still be consistent.
  • This game uses WotM. If you would like me to use WotM for a player that signs up after you you can PM me but I make no guarantee on enforcing WotC.
  • Schadd and Ankamius are at least two reviewers, I'll probably pick up a third during design phase. Ankamius is also backup mod.
  • This will be a swingy game but not role madness. I am not limiting myself from any roles, but I will give a ballpark of whether the game is bastard or not after the design phase is complete. I guarantee there will be at least one vanilla town and at least one mafia goon. I do not guarantee that you will be able to guess how each role works mechanically.
  • For clarity, I will be making six initial pools randomly: vts, named non-vts, TPR, groupscum, anti-town, mod discretion. These pools will be random and not flavor based. From there, a combination of flavor, balance, and mod discretion will result in role design *for the roles* that are specifically allowed for mod discretion.
  • Please give me at least three days to design and review the game after signups are complete.
  • Flavor can be discussed and will not be alignment indicative.
  • There WILL be third parties, possibly multiple.

his first post in the scum PT was "yes I rolled scum!"
I decided to post "haha just don't post that in the main thread", but to get up to date on the main thread first.

We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it. (I'm slightly scared of Nancy)

I feel like this is probably not the right time for this game actually, I'm gonna hold off on this theme for a while and let the other larges fill.
