The problems I see with the roles:
- The Chemist's role is almost entirely useless, as far as I can tell, except maybe in some lylo-like situations where delaying a lynch by one day is enough to win. You may prolong a mafia member's life for one day but in return you're probably giving out confirmed townies to protect with the pharmacist.
- The Drugger doesn't seem excessively powerful - it's like a nightkill but with a more limited scope. He can only choose between the group of 3 players the town finds most scummy, and the pharmacist can opt out of being gassed if he roleclaims. In addition in some cases he could just be making a lynch happen one night early.
- The Vaccinated Townie seems overpowered. He can only die to a one-shot role that may or may not be in the game, and which really go for the pharmacist anyway. If someone gets stabbed to death he can roleclaim completely safely, and be an invincible confirmed townie.
- The Sealer would cause serious issues if he were in the same compound as the Drugger - the mafia has no kill. In addition he's easily confirmable by any PR, and could claim fairly safely due to being able to defend himself from knife attacks.
- The Backup Pharmacist is probably unnecessary. Getting the pharmacist, who can claim freely once the Knifer is out of the picture AND resist lynches, killed is already a tough task for the mafia.

So you could have a game with up to 3 virtually invincible confirmed townies and no mafiakill.

Remember this is a theme so it's not known what the roles are. Maybe the Knifer doesn't have to be one-shot. Maybe even night or something. Also, I could get rid of the vaccinated. Unless somebody else wants to run this it'll have to wait like 2 months before i'm eligible and queued up.

Well if you wanted it to be a closed theme, you probably shouldn't have posted the roles in a publicly viewable location.

I guess they'd be like sample roles then. I'd still give the mafia something like "an ability which kills the target if that player is the pharmacist" or something because otherwise the pharmacist could cause them a real headache.

Yeah, I have a lot more role ideas. But outside of roles is the compound mechanic cool?

Would anyone be interested in a Gears of War themed game? It would probably be based off of the people , characters, and flavor from the first three games and probably a bit from the five books. Thinking of a large theme, but I want to know how many people would actually be interested in Gears of War.

( Sorry, i thought i posted this here but accidently did so in the set-up review )

I think one was already done, so you might want to check that out to make sure yours is different enough. I'm sure you'd get interest, though.

Ah i should have checked first. Still, It does seem like it was a really long time ago and just by glancing i can see my game would be much more different.

I'd play. Love the story in that game.

HEYYYY

DO YOU LIKE MAFIA?

THEN YOU SHOULD /IN FOR THIS GAME!

/in for Breaking Bad Mafia when xRECKx decides to run it!

So I was thinking of running a Minecraft mini theme. I'm sure people would want to play, but I'm wondering if it's already been done. I searched a little bit but didn't really see anything. Of course I didn't look to hard but yeah

izak and I were planning something like this...I'm already in the Mini Theme Queue but you can have the theme if you'd like.

Ah well if you're ahead of me then you can have it. Maybe I could co mod? That'd be cool

Sure thing! He's kindof...let it drop as far as I know.
PM me and we can chat about it.

Would there be any interest in another French mafia game?

Considering Mafia as a Mini Theme/Small L. Theme. Maybe just Season 1, for the first game, though. Idea was sparked by Jal's avatar.

no

crypto alt mafia. >.>

Are we allowed to call dibs on themes? I want to run a series of Micro games based loosely around the Percy Jackson series when I get through the Open Queue.

Technically, no, but if you say you're interested in a theme it's likely that other people will either do other things, or try to join forces if they're interested in it too. So it works in practice.

Ok cool. Is anybody interested in that? I don't want to rip it directly out of the book but maybe use a few characters and the modern day setting of the mythology.

I'd play it.

Cool.
