Theme Test Market

[Passdog]

While I'm not really ready to mod I am interested and would like to reserve:

The Goonies Mafia (based on the 1985 Steven Spielberg action/adventure movie.) I'd like to run this as a regular mini (maybe as my first one).

Oz Mafia (based on the HBO prison drama - everyone is scum!!). This would be far more complex (and quite large) considering the number of characters and the various allegiences in the show. I see multiple mafias and possibly multiple win conditions, crazy interactions between staff and inmates, a real blur between town and mafia.

Woud anyone be interested in playing either of those?

And while I'm here (and I haven't been able to find anywhere else to ask it): how time consuming is moderating?
I realise it will vary between games,depending on size and complexity, but an estimate on the required effort for a regular mini and a regular game would be nice.

I don't know if anyone was truly interested (didn't get much in te way o a response) but I went ahead and wrote up all the characters for The Goonies themed mafia,

Story backdrop (for those crazies who haven't seen the best movie of all time: The Goonies):

The Goonies are a bunch of Kids whose homes are at risk of being demolished and turned into a country club. The papers authorising the construction are mere days from being signed when the Goonies find an old treasure map and decide to find the treasure of One Eyed Willy to save their homes. On the way they accidently discover the Fratelli's secret counterfeiting operation and are forced to flee into the tunnels leading to the treasure as the Fratelli's chase them along. Eventually All of the parties congregate in the one tunnel when everyones lights simultaneous blow out. Each of the players is a mere sihlouette in the dark and no one knows who to trust. The Goonies must figure out who the Fratelli's are before they kill them all all the while avoiding the booby traps One Eyed Willy left behind to guard his treasure.

That intro will be thematically constructed for the introduction of the game but that is the general gist. I was just wondering would anyone like to critique my characters (and idea in general) for me? If so I'll PM youwhat I've got. It might be nice if that (or one of those) person(s) was also able to play back up mod for me.

When I get some feedback I think I'll put my name down to run a themed mini.
