Theme Test Market

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

I'd be very interested in playing in a Magic: the Gathering mafia, as well as an X-Men mafia!!

My only question is why there isn't a Final Fantasy or Battletech/Mechwarrior mafia anywhere on the list?
Those are two other themes I'd like to see done!

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

We have a Final Fantasy mini game currently running on the board here.

Ooh, my bad, I didn't recognize from the title that it was Final Fantasy based.

In any case I still think a Battletech one would be cool! You could let the players trade in their mech parts at night, and depending on what they trade in and what for, players could find themselves trading roles! (Like trade in a scanning device (inspector) for a shield generator (doctor). Of course there would have to be some rules regulating all this. But it's just an idea I came up with.

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

Would anyone be interested in playing Command and Conquer Mafia?

I'd be interested in that one!

I've also come up with some more that would be cool...(again, not sure if they've been done)

Jyhad (aka Vampire: the Masquerade)
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Grand Theft Auto (III or Vice City)
Mortal Kombat
Stephen King's "The Stand"

What would everyone think of a "Battle of the Bands Mafia" theme?

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

I have a lot of ideas for themes that could be cool to play in. But the one that I'm hoping to run some day is "Stephen King's Collective Mafia" based on as many Stephen King books and stories as I can fit into it.

It'll probably be a long time until I'll be able to run it, but it would be nice to know if there would be enough interest in that kind of theme for me to start working on the setup yet.

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

Well, that's good to know MeMe. I've actually been working on the setup. In fact, I might be done with it, but since I've never run a game before, I don't know if it's balanced or if it's too much in favor of anyone, so I'd probably eventually need someone to look it over. Of course, then, it would probably still be a while since I think I remember reading somewhere you have to have moded a regular or mini before you can mod a themed. And I'm about two months down on the mini regular list .

But look forward to it sometime in the [likely, not so near] future!

*drools for Stephen King Mafia*

I must have really hit on something here. You're like the sixth or seventh person that's shown interest in it.

By the way PBuG, are you from Minnesota? Cuz I'm a Minnesotan, and think it would be kinda cool to play in a game based on the area I know so well.

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

Personally, I'd make the mafia in the Jesus themed game something like Judas, Caiaphas, and Pilate. With Herod as a Serial Killer type.

Or it could be Annas, Caiaphas, and Pilate, with Judas as a traitor.

But I think those are fairly obvious ideas.

[Mr_Gnome_It_All]

I can see it now...
