Star Wars Mafia

will run when Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Mafia finishes, so nyah-nyah to those who expressed concern at not really having much of a timeline when I originally tried to reserve it.

There was a while ago.

What if scum controlled the lynch, but the town controlled the nightkill? I'm trying to design around that, but it's hard.

Just because I didn't see it anywhere. I am planning on running The Princess Bride as a mini theme mafia game.

Chelo. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

EDIT: by which I mean I'd definitely play, though it wouldn't be hard to break with role claims, and there aren't a lot of characters to choose from...

19 names. At least a few could be safe claims.

ADD: And this is worth posting again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWXcDZNgOWs

I'm not going to allow role claiming. It just wouldn't be fun if you couldn't have fun with the characters a bit. Also it is an 11 player game.

But there are quite a few non-characters that could be added like
The priest at the wedding ceremony
giant rats
castle guard
pirate
white stallion
Weren't their sea monsters?

You could even be inanimate objects like the pill that saved Wesley or Inigo Montoya's sword. Or characters that didn't exist like Inigo Montoya's zombie father.

Things to ponder. Thanks Shaft.ed!

Settlers of Catan Mafia

?
I'd love to set up/mod a game like that. Unfortunately, I haven't finished a game on this site. >.>

Actually been done twice: http://www.mafiascum.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=63

Look at that two-digit topic number.

(Not that anyone really cares about theme reiterations that are a long time apart)

Ooo, I loved that book. One of the few books I had to read for school that I actually enjoyed. I think this could be interesting.

I have a question about mine though. It wont be for a while, but would I be able to change some of the rules? Or would even a themed mafia game have to be solid in following the general rules?

Poet Showdown Mafia

Mountainous, but every player has a PR: everyone is given a poetic form in which they must post, i.e. shakespearian sonnet, petrarcan sonnet, villanelle, acrostic, etc.

I totally thought of hosting a game like that!

I'd love to play this.

Great minds think alike

I'll be sure to send you a PM if you're still around when it's in signups (it'll probably be quite a few months)

Themed games are pretty much allowed to change the rules as they see fit (with the caveat that most things should be explained up front, if they're not role-specific, and that it may throw your balance into a cocked hat).

Make sure you have a reviewer, or two, who won't be playing the game, to help you sift out problems before they happen.

Borderlands Mafia

3 Mafia Executioners
: Their votes secretly count triple and they get no night kill.

1 Cop
: Tests for mafia every night. Vote doesn't count.

1 Vigilante
: Gets a nightkill every night. Vote doesn't count.

1 Vigilante's Son
: Gets a nightkill every night if the Vigilante is dead. Vote doesn't count.

3 Vanilla powerless
: Their votes don't count. They don't know this.

3 Vanilla regular
: Their votes count. They don't know this.

There is no votecounting. The mod simply lynches whomever got majority votes when majority is reached.

Actually, just join my Mini Theme to see how I thought it worked.
