BooneyToonz XVII: The Winston Chronicles

A 17 player Classic BooneyToonz

Flavor Explanation

The flavor of this game will be an

early draft

of the novelization for a short film I wrote and directed back in June. The post-production (editing) is scheduled October 12th+13th. I will share some

RAW FOOTAGE

screenshots of the film throughout, usually along with the story.

Parts of the lore will be kind of dark. A big inspiration for the world that it exists within was from the books

1984

by George Orwell, and

The Left Hand of Darkness

by Ursula K. Le Guin.

Prologue

Winston O’Brien

was a common man.

By all intents and purposes, by any definition, Winston was a common man.

He woke up every morning, fueled himself with your typical source of sustenance from the breakfast crackers that were in dire need of a few sprinkles of salt, and prepared himself for a grueling and mind numbing day at a job that doesn’t respect his time, skill set, or even his humanity.

Yes, Winston was a common man.

Common in the sense that they are alike others who want more than the feeling of autonomy in every day lives.

Common in the viewpoint of not wanting the STARS Conglomerate to control every waking moment of one’s life.

For years, Winston stayed at his job, snuffed his nose at his superior authority who sat in their office all day barking at Winston to get his work done. To say Winston was living his dream was absurd, but it was almost factual.

Ever since he was a child, Winston dreamed of working in the Herbology department as a Green Stripe, one of the many different divisions that could be awarded during the Stripe Examinations.

He achieved this dream, but it came with a steep cost.

INTRODUCTION

What is a BooneyToonz game?

A BooneyToonz game is a game that plays off the fact that there are specific guidelines in play that the game MUST follow. It allows for newer and unheard of roles to be integrated in a way that experienced and new players can grasp alongside putting the pressure on individual performances rather than revolving around the roles to solve the game for you. This allows for higher level play from both town and scum. Most setups reward strong play, and punish poor play. It just matters on how you want to play it.

GAME SPECIFICS

How Do The Setups Work?

Every BooneyToonz game will have the guidelines, post 2 on this thread, posted on the first page of the game thread by the moderator.

Essentially, this is similar to the old Normal queue, but with more of a themed twist.

Like the old normal queue, a Variant role is a role that is new or isn't in the overall Role Book. A Boon Bank role is a role that is unique, and comes from a specified group of roles listed in the BooneyToonz Guidelines.

Every game is allowed

1

Boon Bank role,

1

Variant role for Minis, and

2

Variant role for Larges. ContraBoon'd roles are blacklisted from being in a BooneyToonz game. All roles from the BooneyToonz RoleBook are fair usage, and for the most part, this will coincide with any of the roles whitelisted for the normal queue.

These roles are public roles, but are not free reign. One of these roles is acceptable-- if more are used, they will take the spot of a variant role.

Swashbuckler

Spoiler:

At night, target a player. If they are in a PT, and exactly one person targets them, that player will be killed. If they are not in a PT, you will die.

Buccaneer

Spoiler:

At night, target a player. If that person is being targeted with an action, you will be targeted instead. If the action was a kill action, you die taking down your killer.

Interdimensional Traveler

Spoiler:

At night, target a player. Their action will now be delayed until the next night phase, and they will not be informed of this. They will still be able to use an action the following night, but they will be unable to discern results of actions if the same ability is used.

Archaeologist:

Credit: Something_Smart

Spoiler:

Each night, you will passively target each player who dies that night. You will get a complete list of all actions they took that night and all previous nights, and who was targeted by that action. (This is very strong but can be nerfed several way: limited-shot active ability, allowing them to see only actions taken in the same night, forcing them to target a player who died in a previous night instead of auto-targeting.)

Disabler:

Credit: Something_Smart

Spoiler:

Any action targeting you at night cannot be used the next night-- players are informed of this as soon as it occurs (but the Disabler is never informed). Can affect the factional kill. (Optional: make this a targeted active ability instead)

Privateer:

Spoiler:

At night, target a player. If that player is targeted by any action, you will be targeted instead. If you were to die because your target was targeted with a kill action, you will take the killer down with you. On nights you use your action, any actions that target you will be rendered unable to be used the following night. They will be informed of this.

❚█══█❚ ContraBoon'd ❚█══█❚

These are roles that are never allowed, not even as a variant role, however Extravaganza’s may use mechanics from this, a player cannot be the role themselves.

Non-Sane Cop, Blank Vig, Non-Sane or Quack Doctor, Cultist, Mafia Mason, Beloved Princess, Governor, Godfather, Percentage, Paranoid Gun Owner
