Mafia Game Possibilities

[Rokk_Krinn]

I've decided I'd like to toss my "hat in the ring" and run one of these games. That said, got a few ideas up my sleeve for theme and thought I'd run them past folks to see what theme most appeals:

1. Return of the Dead Comic Characters
2. Music Stars - The Grab for Fame
3. The Muppet Mob
4. Horrour Movie Survival
5. Bullfinch and Blackjacks: Myth Meets the Mafia
6. Beyond the Madness of Lovecraft
7. Annihilation: Dark Matter
8. From the Mind of Gygax
9. Springheel Jack, Mad Gassers, and White Women: Folklore of the Land

I'm sure I could come up with more, but those are the ones that have been cycling through my brain for the last week or so. Any thoughts as to what appeals the most as, well, I'd like to ensure there are enough folks to play. :)

[Antipathy]

Maybe an ancient Roman or Greek theme? Or maybe the Roman/Greek deities?

Edit: Hmm, I thought you were asking for possibilities.

I'd probably choose 3 or 5, since I'm not familiar with any of the others.

[JackAssterson]

How will you kill me if you're running it? (aside from m....m...mod killing... :eek: )

I'm partial to the horror, gotham and lovecraft ones in particular. I was just writing up some roles for a possible Arkham Asylum scenario, actually, bwa ha ha. :)

[CarlosMucha]

Secret Wars!!

[CarlosMucha]

btw please don't comment anything about the current games, don't spoil anything!

[Rokk_Krinn]

btw please don't comment anything about the current games, don't spoil anything!

Yes, Carlos, that was my entire purpose for making this thread - to spoil the other games. :rolleyes:

Antipathy - Thanks for reminding me; I did have a myth-related one in mind (think maybe it gradually transformed into the Gygax one as I focused more on, well, that would be telling :) ). Anyway, I'll edit that into the list.

Hmm...maybe the best way to do this would be for anyone who "votes" on here to list their top three picks - in order - and that'll give me an idea of where to aim next. Actually being Jack is thinking of an Arkham one, I might remove "Gotham by Knight" and leave that to him.

[Magnito]

Horror sound cool. :)

[CarlosMucha]

I will love a Greek mitology game!

soo many characters! soo many posibilities!

but I will like only one game current. that will be great for be a big event on the realms. :p

[St-Dumas]

A future scenario, where robots are evil, or vice versa. Maybe a Planet of the Apes thing.

Also, Watchmen.

[CarlosMucha]

I don't read Watchmen. :disappoin

that is soo great soo large, soo much enlgish work to read!

[St-Dumas]

Read it or i'll spoil the ending and when the movie comes out in two years, you'll know the ending and be mad I told you.

[CarlosMucha]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[Melkhor]

Great idea Rokk, here are my picks, in order of preference:

1) Return of the dead comic characters

2) Annihilation: Dark Matter

3) From the mind of Gygax

That being said, however, I'd gladly play in any game you decide to run, no matter the theme :)

[CarlosMucha]

any Marvel or DC game will have me as a player. :grin:

[sstralkowski]

I'll be running a Star Trek one once I get settled into my new job. Of the ones mentioned above, I'd play in a muppets one or an Arkham one. The others I don't know, and we've already seen that knowledge of the source material can gain you insights so I'd be at a distinct disadvantage.

[kontrol]

I'm partial to 1, 4 and 2...in that order.

[theanalogkid]

The horror ones would be cool.

[charlesx]

Here are my choices, in order: 6, 4, and 8.

Arkham would be the best one, no doubt about it. :)

Edit: Arkham, as in Lovecraft/Cthulhu mythos.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Arkham, Massachusetts or Arkham Asylum? While I still had "Gotham by Knight" up there, that left two "Arkham"-connected games on the list. :)

[JacinB]

How will you kill me if you're running it?
What makes you think that he was the one responsible for killing you ... ?

[JackAssterson]

What makes you think that he was the one responsible for killing you ... ?

Aside from the times Rokk HAS taken me out I'm not referring to anything specific. It's just a sprinting rubber ball. (a running gag, don'tchya know, hyuck, hyuck, hyuck) ;)

[JacinB]

And I, too, was thinking about starting an Arkham game as soon as the Fantasy Football League's draft is through. :ermm:

[batfink]

I was thinking about a Mafia game where the Mafia has been infiltrated by heros. Instead of night kills one mobster would be found tied up in the morning for the police to find.

I could PM you my notes.

I did sooo well in the 1 game I played that I'm an expert now. :cheeky:

He's in cahoots with the Marvel Knights from Game 2, pals. Let's get 'em!

[biz567]

I think an Annihilation theme could be awesome. Since there were a few cases in there as "Can I trust you or not?" Plus the story just rocked.

OMG! Nintendo theme!:p

[Jackofhearts2005]

I wrote a Gotham City mafia game during statistics class while we were learning about mean, median, and mode...which I had previously learned....in 4th grade. :rolleyes:

[Rokk_Krinn]

Brief "tally" of the way we seem to be swaying so far:

An indeterminate number of interest in "Arkham" - I say "indeterminate" because in a few cases I'm not sure if they mean the Gotham villains or Lovecraft's story town (which would add to the Lovecraft votes but as I removed "Gotham by Knight" to allow others, well, that means I'm not still tallying for that one. :) )

Note that I haven't factored in the "preference weight" yet...

*Return of the Dead Comic Characters: 2
*Music Legends: 1
*Muppets: 2
*Mythology: 2
*Surviving a Horrour Film: 5
*Lovecraft: 4
*Annihilation: 2
*Gygax: 2
*Folklore: 1

[batfink]

Lovecraft 1st, then Muppets for the novelty, and Surviving Horror 3rd.
I think it would depend on which Horror film. I have no interest in the current torture porn.

is my vote count as Mythology? if not, add my vote! :grin:

Zeus, Hercules, Afrodita, the Argonauts, soo many heroes viilians and gods!

[JackAssterson]

I think it would depend on which Horror film. I have no interest in the current torture porn.

I would think along the lines of 80's icons, with some Universal classics thrown in for good measure, but that's just me.

[Rokk_Krinn]

I would think along the lines of 80's icons, with some Universal classics thrown in for good measure, but that's just me.

Or perhaps....nah, that would be telling. :)

Really though, with "Surviving a Horrour Movie" and "Lovecraft" both leading, in a way, it looks like some type of horrour is going to be the next game.

Oh, and yep, Carlos I have you down for Mythology.

[CarlosMucha]

thanks.

[sstralkowski]

Arkham, Massachusetts or Arkham Asylum? While I still had "Gotham by Knight" up there, that left two "Arkham"-connected games on the list. :)

Asylum. didn't realize there were two.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Well, being Jacin posted his thread, here's my question: would one by me, his game and Peers' "Heroclix Mafia" (plus the finishing bit of Star Wars which is likely nearing conclusion so not as big a factor) be too much for people? IE: Would folks rather I wait until Jacin or Peers finish?

[Melkhor]

Speaking only for myself, I think two games at once is definately my limit. I'd rather wait until at least one of those games finished before signing on with a new one.

[theanalogkid]

You can start one. The more there are, the more likely one will be open.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Speaking only for myself, I think two games at once is definately my limit. I'd rather wait until at least one of those games finished before signing on with a new one.

So I ignore your earlier post where you said you'd play in any game I started? :cheeky: :grin:

Knew Jacin started his thread just to "jump the line". :p ;)

[CarlosMucha]

Well, to quote a famous Danish politician: "Man har et standpunkt til man tager et nyt" ;)

[lensnart]

Surreal Life Mafia celebrity A listers verus B listers.

The point of the game is for the A listers to find out who is posing as an A-Lister before the B-listers take their lives and more importantly their fame.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt would decide who was cool enough to be in their clique, Penn Gillette would make people disapear, Corey Haim would mess up the hiuse for everyone. Awesome.

[lensnart]

Of the ones listed Horror movie works for me, I really have no interest in Lovecraft at all (even though I am certainly familiar with his work and the genre that that surrounds it).

[Thawmus]

I'm interested, but I don't really know anything about any of those topics... :(

[Rokk_Krinn]

Well, now that we have our own forum I am tempted to go ahead and run one anyway (as it's less "cluttering" to the "Another Realm" than if we'd still been on there; one of my prior concerns).

Thawmus, as intelligent and well-versed as you are, I can't believe you don't know anything about any of the ones listed. You've at least heard a tale of myth or an urban legend or know of a rock star, don't you? :)

Actually, I was always a pretty deprived kid, so I don't know very much about pop culture in general.

And my imagination tends to overcome me, so I usually steer clear of anything that might make me check closets for the next month.

In any case:

*Return of the Dead Comic Characters: - if this is people like Barry Allen, I'm down for it.
*Music Legends: - I'd be at a serious disadvantage
*Muppets: - could be fun. I never watched them enough to know about all the B-list characters, but I know about a lot of them.
*Mythology: - I guess I didn't see this one......this one is probably my pick.
*Surviving a Horrour Film: - could be interesting. I know a lot about guys like Freddy, Jason, etc. And I've watched way too much Hellraiser than can be healthy....
*Lovecraft: - Not into horror stories.....they depend too much on the imagination, and mine is ridiculous.
*Annihilation: - as in the Marvel series? If so, I'm cool with this.
*Gygax: - what?
*Folklore: - I know a paltry few folk tales. Doubt I'd be much use.


So, I'd say:

1. Mythology
2. Surviving horror film
3. Annihilation
4. Return of the dead comic book characters
5. Muppets

[Rokk_Krinn]

*Gygax: - what?


Gary Gygax - the creator of Dungeons & Dragons.

Anyway, I have roles made up for any of the 8 (originally 9) possible games, so whichever one ends up tempting folks, I'm good to roll with it.

[Amora's_best_friend]

Roman deities could be the funniest thing.

Like Venus and Fortuna having tea together.

[Iron Ham]

MUPPETS!!! :p

[Thawmus]

Gary Gygax - the creator of Dungeons & Dragons.

Oh, so would that be a D&D themed mafia game, or what?

[Antipathy]

1. Myth
2. Marvel Annihilation
3. Muppets

[Rokk_Krinn]

Oh, so would that be a D&D themed mafia game, or what?

Essentially, yeah, with a focus on the more "classic" D&D characters, locations, etc. - the ones that are closer connected to Gygax's works (though not completely in all cases).

I have to admit that I was a bit surprised that the guy who runs the HCRealms Online D&D game said "-what?" to the name. :)

[turdburglar47]

I don't understand why everyone on this board suddenly thinks organized crime is a game. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, PEOPLE.

We're all in the same gang, just like the West Coast Rap All-Stars.

[Rokk_Krinn]

I tried fighting the stereotype against Italian-Americans for a long time before I realized, I wasn't getting anywhere (well, that and everyone was going to be posting on the game threads and I didn't want to get lonely. :) ).

I understand your point though so out of respect for it, I'll remove Bi-Beast as a character from one of the possible games.

[theanalogkid]

Darn. I was hoping Bi-Beast was a player character in the D&D Mafia game...

As are most other hardcore D&Ders. I've never read any of the D&D fiction, nor do I care to.

Now now, Bi-Beast Awareness is a good cause.

That was my way of saying I have no idea what this Mafia Game stuff means.

is really good. awsome fun, is bether than any big brother, Who wants to be a super hero or any reality show and YOU are the star.

I sigh up without know anything and I learn in half way inside the game.

I will like you to join!

[CarlosMucha]

I just recomend you you to join in a game about characters what you know.

(from the list in this thread I know only 2 I think)

[Rokk_Krinn]

As are most other hardcore D&Ders. I've never read any of the D&D fiction, nor do I care to.

I wasn't talking about the fiction (as I've barely read any myself, though I did make an exception for Ravenloft novels). Just things like the old modules and such.

Honest truth time? I've pretty much never had much opportunity - and in many cases, desire to - play in D&D games. I buy the modules, source books, etc. for "idea supplement" and "light reading". I'm sure playing through, say, the Lost Caverns of Tsjocanth would be fun enough but I had more fun just reading about the place and the story ideas that spun off from it in my imagination.

[JackAssterson]

I buy the modules, source books, etc. for "idea supplement" and "light reading".

I do the same thing, only with a wiiiide variety of RPG's -- the more out there and obscure the better. I guess I collect 'em.

I don't know if that makes me more or less of a nerd.

[scehaono]

the only D&D books i have are the PHB 3.0 and 3.5...but the dm i've been playing with at school works at a games store...so he basically has all of them (which makes for some crazy scenarios sometimes)

though if you were to run something, rokk, i'd love to take part in:
muppets
marvel's annihilation
myths - particularly norse ones

[Rokk_Krinn]

I do the same thing, only with a wiiiide variety of RPG's -- the more out there and obscure the better. I guess I collect 'em.

I don't know if that makes me more or less of a nerd.

I'm going to say "less" if only so I don't look like that big of a nerd, myself. :)

(FYI - I give a great thumbs-up recommendation to the new WoD release of "Changeling"; captures the "essence" of the variety and "not always that nice"-side of the fae very well.)

Now, if I actually played the games I might be disappointed that, say "Deadlands" was now relatively "worthless" to me - as it would have been with no one around to play it with in the first place - but being it's there just for "flavour" and "fun reads", I can still continue to get great enjoyment out of the books.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Hmm...we're seeing a swing from the "horror"-related ones towards the myths and the Muppets. I'm almost tempted - despite the number of games about to start - to run the Muppets as a relatively fast and light-hearted one (and try to balance the day phase to be going on while, say, Peers' night phase is occuring).

[CarlosMucha]

what about a Marvel Zombies were people can back from the dead in some way?

[Lobstrosity]

A Lovecraft themed mafia would be amazing. I would love to be invited to join something like that. I have read a lot of his stories, and I really enjoy them. There might be a lot of neat powers/abilities with driving people mad, things of that nature.

Honestly, I'm rather excited about some of the things I came up with for the Lovecraft Mafia game (I realize that sounds more egotistical than I mean it). It isn't the "easiest" of the games though - for participants - so with two other "majour" games already starting and "Star Wars" finishing up, not sure I'd want to hit people with Lovecraft at the same time (though it does have an odd advantage in that not knowing the background isn't a disadvantage at all, just like many of the protagonists in a Lovecraft story). That's why I'm tending to think I should do the lighter "Muppets Meet the Mob" one as a "filler" for while people are waiting out Night Phases on the "main games".

Still, I'm up for feedback on that.

[sstralkowski]

Agreed. ..............

[sstralkowski]

Just ideas but I think Lost would be a good theme. The others could be the mafia. Also, I was thinking of a Mutant Massacre one where we're all Morlocks, and the Mafia are the Marauders.

[Melkhor]

Muppets would be a hilariously twisted game. Lovecraft would be a major game, and it could get real confusing, but that isn't the worst thing in the world, it is just a challenge.

[Melkhor]

Which one? There were 2 ideas there. ;)

The Mutant Massacre. Personally, I despise Lost, but I do have a certain fondness for the Marauders *points to his signature* :)

[Rokk_Krinn]

Muppets would be a hilariously twisted game. Lovecraft would be a major game, and it could get real confusing, but that isn't the worst thing in the world, it is just a challenge.

I have "locations" and "items" (not 100% all the time for all characters) for the Lovecraft one - as well as a couple of the other ones - so that could up the "confusion" factor for people trying to play in multiple games...especially ship-jumpers like Melkhor who won't sign up now. ;) If I'm going to do that one, I want to make sure there are the people to sign up for it.

[JackAssterson]

See, I'm the opposite. I love Lost, but you start tossing Marvel teams at me and my eyes glaze over.

"Didja see the issue where the Marauders and the Morlocks mutiliated the Mealymouthed Mendicants in Malibu? The Merchants and the Mayoral Masticators were murdered, so the Mighty Mastadons moved into their mansion!"

:squareeye

Philistine! No wonder you always die first! :p

[Rokk_Krinn]

Honestly, I think going for "Lost" when even they were left floundering for a season may be a bit tricky to do. Besides, everyone would expect a person to factor in all the Easter Eggs and now that Lobo's being released, well, I remember him still having a beef with Easter Bunnies. It ain't worth da' risk! :)

[JackAssterson]

Honestly, I think going for "Lost" when even they were left floundering for a season may be a bit tricky to do.

Heck, Season 2 Locke's power could be constantly roleblocking himself unless he convinces someone else to press that damn button.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Heck, Season 2 Locke's power could be constantly roleblocking himself unless he convinces someone else to press that damn button.

Season 2 Mafia: Button, Button, Who's Going to Push the Button?

You would have to give Charley the power to have his relationship go screwy with Claire just long enough to distract Locke or the game might never end. :)

[sstralkowski]

Season 2 Mafia: Button, Button, Who's Going to Push the Button?

You would have to give Charley the power to have his relationship go screwy with Claire just long enough to distract Locke or the game might never end. :)

Someone has to "push the button" every 108 minutes or the phase might end.

EDIT: That sounded way funnier in my head. :nervous:

[CrusaderC]

Damn you sir, that was my idea!! :mad:


Although, if the idea hasn't been tossed out, what about a Transformers one???

Edit: Oh yeah, a Muppets one would be hilarious!!! Imagine writing up how Rolph found Fozzie's body bloody and battered in Miss Piggy's bed!! Simply awesome!!

[sstralkowski]

Damn you sir, that was my idea!! :mad:

And that's why it helps to be a mutant telepath. I now own the rights to all good ideas...like Pepsi Clear and Mountain Dew: Pitch Black. :confused:

TF might be cool. Especially if Unicron shows up as a second mafia leader. :devious:

Battered you say? must have been the Swedish Chef!!! *rimshot*

[CrusaderC]

TF might be cool. Especially if Unicron shows up as a second mafia leader. :devious:

That's a pretty sweet role. You get nothing until Megatron/Galvatron dies, then you take over! OR better yet, you have to kill him, then take over. Perhaps that would be a better role for Starscream.


Battered you say? must have been the Swedish Chef!!! *rimshot* :rolleyes:

Nah, you'd start out by yourself and then recruit an army. Your power would be to either recruit another player or order a hit. You can't perform your own hits. Not sure if you should limit recruitment to Deceptocons only.

Also, I'm starting to hate the role of Jester, but you could make Wrek-gar the Jester.

And don't roll your eyes at me. You know you laughed. :laugh:

True true, it'd have to be a 3 party deal. Could get really complex really fast if you were so inclined...

Also, I'm starting to hate the role of Jester, but you could make Wrek-gar the Jester.

Jester is only fun for one person. Jester.

And don't roll your eyes at me. You know you laughed. :laugh: I did :p

Well, I would darn well play that game. Throwing in items and locations would be a new twist to Mafia that I haven't seen yet. Background would be key on that, just to understand the history of who and what, I guess. Heck, I would have to go back and browse through the stories just as a refresher. The write ups for deaths could be wicked. Lots of interesting ways to die in Lovecraft. Although I imagine you could throw in some interesting characters from different stories/cycles that could have some different win conditions.

[Peers]

Quantum Mafia: Your power changes whenever you correctly roleclaim or someone else figures out what it is.

Paranoia Mafia: Everyone gets six lives. However, everyone is part of at least one Mafia, usually two or more. The mod is allowed to kill people for any reason he feels like.

Indy Comics Mafia: If the thread doesn't get at least 100 views a day, it closes down because it isn't popular enough to make it.

What makes you think the locations and items would be immediately - if at all - recognizable to even a big Lovecraft fan? :) Remember, half the fun of a Lovecraftian story is being in the "unknown". Not saying I would be inventing totally new things with an audacity that I could better the works of previous writers...just that things...change...over time.

Paranoia Mafia: Everyone gets six lives. However, everyone is part of at least one Mafia, usually two or more. The mod is allowed to kill people for any reason he feels like.

Indy Comics Mafia: If the thread doesn't get at least 100 views a day, it closes down because it isn't popular enough to make it.
Quantum Mafia sounds kind of fun actually.

[Lobstrosity]

What makes you think the locations and items would be immediately - if at all - recognizable to even a big Lovecraft fan? :) Remember, half the fun of a Lovecraftian story is being in the "unknown". Not saying I would be inventing totally new things with an audacity that I could better the works of previous writers...just that things...change...over time.


True, things do change over time. Over enough eons, even death can die. (excuse me as I butcher that phrase).

Honestly, I think that a lot of the targets on the first night were 'respect' targets. They knew that, were you (well, and a few others that were targetted) still around later in the game, you'd likely run away with it no matter what side you were on.

At any rate, I just finished writing up my Mutant Massacre mafia game, so once the scene winds down a little and the currently running games end, I'll give it a try and run that if there's an interest for it :)

I'm thinking of running a harry potter mafia game (not here, sorry guys) but I can't really think of who should have what powers.

Most of the good guys have roughly the same spell knowledge.

I had also considered a Harry Potter mafia game. I think, once you assign roles (blocker, doctor, cop, etc.), the spell-knowledge problem can be solved with some creativity in the write-up. For example, a roleblocker could use Expelliarmus one night to block someone, and Stupefy their target the next night, etc.

My problem is that I don't quite know what to do with Snape.

[Jackofhearts2005]

My problem is that I don't quite know what to do with Snape.
I have plenty of ideas for him.

Make him the mafia traitor and/or make him be able to have a certain number of (or create a different one every night) pollijuice potion, medical potions, etc for him to use at night.

My idea was for one death eater to be able to each of the 3 unforgivable curses at night.

One DE night kills, one DE could use imperious to control the vote/night power of his target until someone else uses imperious, one DE can crucio for information (perhaps giving him away, which would be offset by the ability to use imperious to prevent the target from giving this away).

Then let Harry track with his cloak or choose to hide with it to be invicible to night killing. Ron could stun/confound ie roleblock. Hermionie, I haven't decided.

McGonigal could be a Doc, Fred and George could have a double vote, Ginny could be a cop, and Neville could have a similar power to Snape, only with devil snares (roleblock) and venomus tentaculas (nightkill?) instead of pollijuice (all who target A target B instead and vice versa) or healing (protection).

I need to add a couple more roles.

[Doombot 3.1]

Make him the mafia traitor and/or make him be able to have a certain number of (or create a different one every night) pollijuice potion, medical potions, etc for him to use at night.

The mafia traitor idea occured to me, but I just don't like the idea of putting one in a game. It is, however, the role that most readily fits Snape.

That was after failing at coming up with a good lie to deflect ABF's accusations. ;) I mean, if he was able to talk normally, I could've taken something he said and tried to twist it around or something. But it was just 'he did this and this.' Hard to BS out of that, especially since I hadn't done anything that would have prompted him to name me otherwise.

Nothing I thought of sounded remotely convincing, and even though I knew trotting out the same lines that failed for ViciousX wouldn't get me anywhere hell, what could I do?

Ah, well. It was fun being Murder Man for a while. :)

I may consider another game down the line.

I'm hoping to get one more person to sign up for it which is why I haven't PM'ed out roles yet as a nice round number of 20 would be good. It would have been nice to PM them out tonight and start tomorrow - so we "mirrored" Jacin's Night Phase - but that didn't work out so I'm trying to figure out how to best proceed. Based upon the fact that we're likely going to end up with a quick "No Lynch" for the day anyway, it may not hurt if our first day is the same as a Day at Arkham Asylum

Rokk, you should have done a Buffy mafia game. That wouldn't been cool :)

Still, it's in the running as a "transition" Mafia game - a way to introduce people to some of the concepts for the Horrour/Lovecraft Mafia games without being as complicated.

Just didn't want to ruin the surprise but being you brought it up. ;)

I'm just saying, you start a Buffy game and you can just pre-sign me up right now. It won't matter how many other games I'm in or what's happening in real life, I will play that one.

For a school project several years back, we were supposed to get in groups (maxed out at four or five) and write a summary for an Epic. My friend Sarge and I got together and designed one about giant robots. My friend Crazy PT went a different route. He gathered together Rockstar, Dusty J, T. Hawk, and the Byrdman and held a DND campaign to design their Epic. It went in a real funny direction: T. Hawk got beheaded in the first chapter, their owl familiar first turned into a mutant owl, than into a beautiful nymph (bad things happened there), and then into a Greater Outsider than destroyed the universe.

Guess which group Sarge and I wished we got to be part of.

[Thawmus]

I thought your D&D game was on hold while you switched over to the new server/system?

I would have been playing on Monday nights if I'd know. Sorry man. :(

It's still on hold.


I took on more responsibility at my job (without compensation, of course, because I'm a pushover, and they know it.), and as a result, that translates into more and more hours. On top of that, I'm not sleeping well again. I got 2 hours of sleep last night. And my alarm didn't even wake me. I woke up by myself, and never fell asleep again. So I'm probably going to see a new doctor soon (I haven't seen one in years).

Monday is still probably the best night for me, but I just don't know when I'm going to get around to getting it back up and going again.

Plus, I'm still not sure what format we'll be using for it, whether I want to start from scratch, or whether I want to do a completely different campaign altogether.


Thawmus' Heroes is something that typically gets me very excited about doing, whether it be a D&D campaign, novel, short stories, etc. But right now, I'm not able to give it the attention I feel it deserves. And it's been a mess thus far.

Basically, I gave it a rough draft, and let the players play in it, and found that it was a mess. And now I want to give it another draft, but I feel like I'm cheating the people who had the game ripped right out from underneath them.


I get testy about it, too. A friend of mine asked me when it's starting again, half jokingly, and I kinda snapped at him.

I'm not sure it was ever really meant to be a D&D campaign. I think I might have to scrap that notion altogether.

I'm a bit partial to Seasons 2 and 3. Oz and Cordy were still around. you still have to option of using Angel and/or Angelus. Anya as Anyanka (sp?) is an option. Spike and Drusilla. True you lose Tara and Dawn, but you can easily write them in if you feel like it. Time travel spell or some such.

[Magnito]

I'd do a combination of series. I mean, I like Oz (and he could have an awesome night power...but one he only gets on certain nights) and Cordy and Angel, but Tara and Riley and a "good" Spike would be really fun too.
Dawn I could care less about.

Scooby and the Gang split into two groups, and then random guest stars (Batman and Robin or the Harlem Globetrotters for instance) and or suspicious people (Old man Humphry or the big guy who works at the lumber mill) that could turn out to be either important good guys or mafia in disguise.

Scooby VILLAINS mafia, with the Scooby gang as the mafia. They're all wearing disguises like everyone else so that they can knock everyone out and tie them up each night, so they can make a safe escape from the haunted mansion they're in. And the Villains know they're there, so they've all come to squash those mangy kids, and their dog too!!!

For my second mafia theme, i've got a few ideas. I just wanna know which one you guys would want to do the most:

a) DC Villains. Kind of like the Marvel villains version from a while back, but DC style.

c) The Venture Bros. Just for fun.

A followed by C (I enjoy the Ventures Brothers but as I likely wouldn't get Brock, where's the fun? :) )...B is just too far out of my familiarity bracket for me to feel like I could do well (I'm struggling in the Star Trek game due to a similar problem).

[CarlosMucha]

DC villians all the way.

I regreat have not played the first Marvel Mafia. :disappoin

Okay, but Venture Bros. would be difficult. There's a less broad history there so roles will be harder, but I think I can pull something together.

DC villains. Oooooh, DC villains.

DC Villains could be a lot easier. I'll tuck the Venture Bros. in my proverbial back pocket for later.

[St-Dumas]

A monster mafia...yes, it could work, though everyone would be the serial killer.

Well, even though my "voting list" seems to be defunct, Horror Movie was one of the original options on which to vote. ;)

I'm contemplating running a DBZ mafia game in mid-october.

Would anyone be interested in that?

I know, it's DBZ, you either love it or hate it, but I think it could be pretty interesting for a mafia game.

DBZ dilemma. They all have the same abilities, just different power levels.....

I'm going to pretend that was a joke, rather than an insult to my intellect.

What Thawmus said.

Man. That show kicked ###. Other then the "Hey, I'm going to shoot you but I'll wait 4 episodes, let's talk" thing, the story was fantastic.

[DocDoom187]

They DO all have the same powers.....

Whatever. I haven;t seen it in forever, but I do remember there was great story crappy dialogue, and amazing fight scenes. I'd join. Of the 7 mafia games im alive in none. I'm going crazy.

Fixed it for you. ;)


The Japanese dialogue isn't stupendous, but it's WAY better than the english. Funimation butchered the translation to hell and back.

I've been getting the new box sets that came out this year, and the scripts didn't change at all. :ermm:


In any case, have you not seen that two or three different versions of the same character in mafia games have different abilities???

Are you seriously going to tell me that the different DBZ characters don't have any distinguishing features at all? That Piccolo looks, speaks, and acts exactly like Goku?

Give me a little more credit than that. Please. :cheeky:

[JackAssterson]

I always liked Nappa, myself. He got ganked pretty early on, but he LOOKS like a bad, bad man.

[Thawmus]

Another seriously under-used character was Captain Ginyu. He was definitely one of the more awesome guys on the show.

:rolleyes:

Yep. All Anime is better in Japanese for multiple reasons:

1)Cursing. It's not changed. It's more realistic with curses every now and then.

2)Blood, it has to be shown a little sometimes...

3)Other stuff that is taken out in American.

[DocDoom187]

FMA was like 100 times better in Japenese than English. Same with Read or Die. That's one of my favorite TV shows EVER, much less anime. RoD was GREAT

Lol. that is really bad luck my friend!

I get killed in a lot too. :disappoin

[Magnito]

For anyone who posts here who hasn't seen it yet, there is now a sign up thread for my Smash Bros mafia. Feel free to come join as I still need a couple more to fill up some roles.

Yeah, but there's one thing the US versions improve on, for the most part:

Music.


There's some huge exceptions like FLCL, but for the most part, the english soundtracks are better.

[DarkCorsair]

Yeah Cell/Boo/Freeza were exactly the same.

:rolleyes:


Ha! Boo would be great. I'd actually wanna be fat Boo.

You have been turned into candy. The first person to say your name during the day phase accidentally eats you. Start praying that no one wants to talk about you.

[sstralkowski]

I was thinking that for the Sesame Street mafia, Mr. Hooper would just die randomly one night.

[Iron Ham]

New idea - Paranoia Mafia

Everyone is in a gang (IE Mafia) but no one knows it. There is only one townie, who cannot be NK'ed, and wins when only he remains. There are 4 gangs of 4-5 players each, all with the standard Don/Blocker/Tracker/Misdirector (or misc role) deal.

Anyone think this would work? I'm thinking about running it on another site.

I was thinking about a game like this, but the reverse.

There is one serial killer, and everyone else is a townie, who believe there is a mafia.

Dunno if it would work though...

Dunno if it would work though... Only if the serial killer can't be lynched, and the townies have one vigilante (who, if killed, someone else takes over for them)

[Amora's_best_friend]

Funniest joke.

It would be really bad if the vigilante got lucky on the first night lol.

[Rokk_Krinn]

I agree that it has potential - would love to hear back from you on how it went - but you would want to have the townie roll switch, say, three times or something (and don't let people know that there's only one townie out there at any given time; for that matter, at most have only mason groups and no "True Mafia"...so everyone's looking for a Mafia while picking each other off. :) )

[CarlosMucha]

Secret Wars Mafia!

[DocDoom187]

Secret Wars Mafia!
I would PAY to be in this. I'd say Carlos get wroking, but Mafia Games are hard enough, imagine having to interpret a Carlos write up:p


jk Carlos

[Rokk_Krinn]

I would PAY to be in this.

How much? I'd be willing to do that in place of the BtVS game but it would have to be enough to protect me from Magnito and my own Xander fanboy habits. :grin:

[CarlosMucha]

he he he. I will love that game. Secret Wars have all. a healer, lot of enemys, hard to tell allys, Thing traforming in Human and Thing, Spider-Man new costume and soo many great things more!

[Magnito]

...some of you regulars still haven't signed on for smashbros yet. Have all the roles waiting to go. Give a non-comic game a chance...

[DocDoom187]

I almost feel bad for Vicious X. Either he's mafia/independent, or we suspect him of it and kill him off early. EVERY GAME. lol.

[St-Dumas]

Would a Heroes themed mafia work?

[The Vision]

Ideas:

1) Simpsons

2) Exiles / Weapon-X. Exiles are Mason group. Weap-X is Mafia and everyone else is heroes from what ever world the game is taking place on.

3) Avengers Disassembled. The Don could be Quesada or Bendis. No seriously.

[Amora's_best_friend]

The funniest role I've ever actually comprehended in my life:

Ernest Vincent Wright, author of Gadsby - You are not allowed to use the letter 'e' except when voting. Your posts must be correctly spelled, follow the conventional rules of standard English grammar, and use no abbreviations, numbers, emoticons, pictures, or other non-punctuation symbols. Breaking or circumventing this rule will result in mod kill.


Posting is a trial in itslf.

[Rokk_Krinn]

Would a Heroes themed mafia work?

Only if I get to be Mr. Bennett, in which case, absolutely. :)

[Amora's_best_friend]

This is perhaps the best role I've now ever comprehended:

You are the White Rabbit, Neutral. You're late. Very late. You're not going to make the game until, oh, at least the beginning of day 3 (until this point, you will not show up as being a player). As for what you want to achieve - well, really, you just don't want your head chopped off. You win if you are still alive at the end of the game (this does not interfere with other win conditions, who see you as sharing their alignment as far as victory condtions are concerned).

[Thawmus]

Guys, I have my DBZ mafia sign-up thread open.

[DarkCorsair]

Guys, I have my DBZ mafia sign-up thread open.

For which I have definitely signed up. I used to be hooked on that show. I actually dressed up as Piccolo for Halloween one year. I should point out that it was a year in which I was old enough to vote. A friend went as Trunks. It was awesome, but cleaning off the green bodypaint was a pain.

Oh, and I have a Mega Man game sign-up thread open, if anyone wants to rock some video game nostalgia type mafia.

[St-Dumas]

I used to be a DBZ geek. Then I fell out of it and the show just seemed unappealing. I've forgotten almost everything I knew about it.

And I never got into Mega Man, so both of those are out.

[St-Dumas]

Fracking double post...

[Rokk_Krinn]

All these sci-fi ones popping up and you know, even though I'm running BtVS, I have a great idea on how to run one for something really Fantastic(!)...

Dr. Who!

(Though if someone wants my notes and then runs it in my place, that would be workable as well. :) )

[turdburglar47]

By Fantastic, you should mean Fantastic Four. They're sci-fi!

[Rokk_Krinn]

By Fantastic, you should mean Fantastic Four. They're sci-fi!

I'd gladly play in an FF game (heck, they'd be the perfect "hero Mafia" trying to pick off the Townie villains :) ).

Still, partial as I am to the Ninth Doctor, "Fantastic" is the phrase that comes to mind when thinking of a Dr. Who game.

Extended to include other FF members like She-Hulk, Crystal, Luke Cage... and heck, maybe even the New FF - Hulk, Wolvie, Spidey and Ghost Rider - as a second mafia!

[Magnito]

hey turdburgler, feel like joining some Smash Bros mafia? Lots of fun. (yeah, I'm pimping out my game, but I want more people!)

I really don't know what the Smash Bros are, I'm afraid... and I also don't know how much time I'll have in the near future to devote to such things, so I'll have to pass for now.

Thanks, though!

[turdburglar47]

wow, that sound awesome.


I know. I'd consider running it if I had the time or the proper understanding of how to run such things.

Buncha classic Nintendo characters.

[turdburglar47]

[turdburglar47]

Ah, okay. I don't know, doesn't quite sound like my gig. I'd want to be Pac-Man or Zaxxon or Frogger or something. Maybe Pitfall Harry.

[JackAssterson]

I'm too annoyed at how much I'm thinking about trying to run an FF game.

[Amora's_best_friend]

I was thinking about a FF game too.

Summons could be a funny aspect of the game.

[Jackofhearts2005]

I wanna be Annihilus if we have a FF mafia.

Doom: Hey, Annihilus? Want to help kill the Fantastic Fou?
Me: WRAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

[JackAssterson]

People are gonna have to spell out FF. It could either be Fantastic Four or Final Fantasy.

[Rokk_Krinn]

"Fantastic!" Four: The Doctor, Rose, TARDIS and Cpt. Jack Harkness...right?

[Amora's_best_friend]

People are gonna have to spell out FF. It could either be Fantastic Four or Final Fantasy.

Oh yeah.

I was talking about Final Fantasy.

[turdburglar47]

Oh yeah.

I was talking about Final Fantasy.


I was talking about Fantastic Four. And wondering what 'Summons' meant.

[Amora's_best_friend]
