Would there be any interest in "Tokugawa Shogunate Mafia"? Just playing around with some ideas at the moment.

I think there would be, Cad. Could make for some interesting role dynamics, with the place of honor in that society, if you wanted to go that far with it...

Would I ever ;)! There are indeed a lot of interesting role dynamics.

One problem could be inadequate knowledge of the theme though, since I'm planning on using all the official terms. This could be solved by creating some sort of reference on my domainname.

Would people be interested in playing in an "undead mafia" as a mini theme game?

The idea is that there will a lot of mechanics that can bring dead people back to life or otherwise involve dead people in the game. A side effect of that is that people's roles will not be revealed upon death; however, their full role will be revealed once a person passes to the Other Side (and thus can not ever be raised from the dead), so the town will always have some information to go on.

Also, if anyone would be willing to review the game for me, or possibly be interested in being a co-mod (this being my first attempt to mod a game), please let me know.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie

Uncyclopedia Mafia would be another theme a lot of people would be interested in, right :)?

I can't believe no one has done a Wallace & Gromit mafia yet (or were you just waiting for me to run one because of my avatar?).

If I'm able to come up with enough roles to make it a normal-sized one, W&G definitely deserve that, but I could make it a mini as well. No previous modding experience, so when I'm ready, I'd appreciate the help of a co-mod.

Haven't really had time to think things through yet, so I'm not sure I can say I claim the idea, but if anyone's thinking of running one, I'd like to be involved.

More to come in the setup review thread when I've had time to look at things.

If you can't find enough characters for Wallace & Gromit Mafia, you could always do an Aardman Mafia. Then you'll definitely have enough characters to choose from.

You know how ideas just kind of hit you at the oddest times?

Numa Numa Mafia - mini theme. Thinking about signing up to mod it after Smalltown is done. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just getting acquainted with the subject is fun enough.

So I'm kicking around a "Firefly Mafia" setup... I'd need a co-mod, of course, because of my modding history.

Whaddya think?

So, what... you can see what happens at night, due to everyone's enormous glowing butts?

Or do you mean themed on the Whedon series?

:lol: Whedon, of course... although the other
would
have a certain entertainment value that perhaps should be worked into another game.

The setup for
Firefly Mafia
(the non-glowy-butts version :lol:) is nearly complete (roles are done, now I'm just writing role PM's, flavor text, etc), and I have a co-mod/backup lined up (our soon-to-be fellow American Talitha :D). It's going to be a 20-player Theme Park game, and I'm ready to begin if/when there's enough interest and we have room for it. Knowledge of the TV series is helpful but not necessary (I'll be providing links to websites with episode summaries and cast lists).

Dude, totally in to play firefly mafia. I was about to suggest the same thing, though I've done no work on an actual set-up.

I'm considering more than one idea for my next themed mini. Would there be any interest in Isaac Asimov's Foundation? I'm also considering something rather self-explanatory called Lynch or Lose Mafia, which may not be based on sound game design principles, but I'd be willing to run if there was enough interest. Another idea that just popped into my head would be to do something based on the animation of Amy Winfrey, the creator of Muffin Films, Big Bunny, and Making Fiends.

I might be interested in Foundation and maybe Glowy Butts. (Mistyped that last one as Glowy Buttes... are there possibilities there?)

Does that translate to you wanting to play in my Firefly game, or do you want me to come up with a true glowy-butts game? :roll:

Also, how many people need to express interest in an idea here before it can be approved to be run in Theme Park?

I don't think there's an official minimum. All you need is to get the setup approved; this thread is only to guauge whether there looks like there'll be enough interest to fill the game up.

Would anyone be intrested in a Rookie mafia, a theme game based on people who have been on the site for a year or less?
