Theme Test Market

^^ That sounds fucking epic and I want /in if you do that.

I have modded over at other boards and I did a Dexter (Showtime drama) game that I liked, but would like to get tweaked by reviewers here before posting it here because diff. boards are diff.

I am also looking forward to hosting a Breaking Bad game, if interest is up.

These will have to wait awhile, though, because I just joined over here and want to get a couple of games under my belt to get a feel for the forum.

If you're interested in Dexter and/or Breaking Bad games, though, I'd like to hear. They'd be large theme.

I don't like Dichotomy AT ALL. You're doing at least half of the PR-hunting for the scum, and it actually increases the swing in a lot of ways (Oh, I'm sorry that the Cop claimed D2 and you hit the Townie instead of the Doc... you'll have to wait until Day 7 to kill the Doc now).

If you could work up a PR list that had absolutely zero synergy within it, AND could reliably rank them from least effective for town to most effective for town, then maybe.
Yeah, that is the problem with it: it means if you miss on getting the PR you have to wait a long time before getting another shot. If I did it, i might include a scum role that allows the scum to repeat the choice the next day or sometihng once in the game.

I think this is a good idea.

I would play this game.

Wow, Tasky.

It sounds incredibly complicated and there would be a lot of kinks to work out.

I'd probably enjoy it a lot.

My initial questions: Why can people talk during the night?

How will people distinguish which game they are voting for a person in?

Would the games run on the same deadlines?

If a player dies in game A but is alive in game B, are they still allowed to post content for Game A?

Of course there would be tons of lulz, but with some roles and flavor that might be taken the wrong way

Run this and pre-/in me.

Other note: I was explaining some of my role ideas to my friend and he said "That's not politically incorrect, that is just racist! Well ok...being racist is politically incorrect, but still, you don't go around saying the KKK is a politically incorrect group."

It sounds truly beautiful. But wouldn't that be mini theme?

I'll help, if you want.

Officially claiming Breaking Bad as a theme, if it hasn't been done yet.

Can I please play Minesweeper mafia now????

I like zoraster's original idea better.

Although I'm months and games away from theme modding, would anyone be interested in musical note mafia? Major vs minor, or sharps vs flats? With perhaps an atonal serial killer? With roles based around a song in that key.

I would REALLY be interested in playing this.

Omg me too.

Amrun · Post Post #3354 (isolation #13) » Thu Apr 05, 2012 2:09 pm

I might play an Eragon themed game.

DEAR GOD NO, CHKFLIP. DO NOT SPEAK OF SUCH THINGS AGAIN.

@Nexus: I'll either play or help design or review, whichever of those things you'd prefer. Let me know which.

I WANT DIBLEY!!!

Like that idea, Umbrage.

Amrun · Post Post #3449 (isolation #17) » Mon May 14, 2012 8:16 pm

I actually have another one designed, which I designed first, but wasn't ready to run due to OvTvS. We're going to be overrun.

And your idea sounds very similar to Nomination Mafia.

Amrun · Post Post #3469 (isolation #18) » Mon Jun 18, 2012 9:21 pm

I'd play, Slaxx.

Amrun · Post Post #3513 (isolation #19) » Tue Aug 21, 2012 5:54 pm

I wanted to run a season 4 game (I think), but I asked Juls first and she asked me not to and that we would work together on that season, and then sort of disappeared. Sigh.

Amrun · Post Post #3542 (isolation #20) » Mon Sep 17, 2012 8:54 pm

Yeah, I was planning on doing each season with a modding team - but most of them seem to have flaked and I'm not passionate enough except for a unique mechanic idea I have that needs to be fleshed out a lot more.

Do what you want. I WAS planning on doing each season, but I don't want to hold you back. Alternatively, you could collaborate with me. I won't be heart broken if you don't - but fyi, I am particularly attached to Season 2.

I'll be entering the large theme queue soon-ish with an Orange is the New Black game. PM me to pre-/in!

Amrun · Post Post #3913 (isolation #22) » Sun Aug 11, 2013 4:58 pm

It'll still be awhile before it runs -- I am not ready for queue yet (looking for another reviewer) and there are like 3 games ahead of me in queue anyway.

Amrun · Post Post #3917 (isolation #23) » Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:02 pm

Salmonella, would play!

RC, I ran an auction mechanic game where people bid on things, but it's not quite the same. I think MoS and I designed a price is Right game a long time ago but we never ran it... Lol. Sounds like a cool idea.

Flesh it out more?

This has literally been done before, by Faraday IIRC.

Not that it can’t be done twice. Just FYI.

I ran an MS Paint themed game back in the day, but it was pretty specific. People seemed to enjoy it.

It was UPick death scenes which I recreated in MS Paint (very poorly).

No idea who that is. Mine was from silverbullet’s driving thread in f62 that was a site meme at the time, and was fairly specific. Could have just been independent genius.

It’s definitely a repeatable idea.

I’m pretty sure this was the first GOT game on site. There were likely more later, but this is the first.

This is it. It’s so old it’s only partially archived. But like I said above, the idea could be done endlessly and it would still be fun so it hardly matters.
