The New Set-Up Review Thread

[bv310]

Could use a reviewer for Sherlock Holmes. I've delayed it out of the Mini Theme queue for two weeks so I could get a balanced setup going.

[DemonHybrid]

Dammit, I can't mod a Large Theme yet. So I made a Large Normal setup. Reviews, plz ^^

Sorry for asking so much. If it means anything I have about 10 set-ups sitting around, so the reviews haven't gone to waste.

Would like one more reviewer for this before I feel that it's ready.

Still need the reviewer, and I'll love you ^_^

Mafia Glossolalia

needs a review.

The setup isn't that big a deal once you sort out what's important... Actually, it's less important than having ideas for wacky post restrictions

[hitogoroshi]

Oh man, I have ideas for wacky restrictions...but I also want to play Glossolalia...

SO CONFLICTED

[LlamaFluff]

Still want a reviewer for a very simple large theme setup.

Same to you, Llama.

Anyone want to review/write flavor for a mini normal?

[SensFan]

I can review, but flavour notsomuch.

[hitogoroshi]

Anyone want to review/write flavor for a mini normal?

Flavor is actually my strong suit, though I'm busy pre-gaming for my own upcoming game so I'm too busy at the moment. If you still need this in a week poke me via PM.

(I can also review, but a second opinion would probably be good.)

I can help.

[MagnaofIllusion]

Still looking for an additional reviewer for a Power Role heavy 13 person set-up.

AGM is currently on the Review Crew.

Empking and Andrius have kindly stepped up to join AGM in the quest to

tell me I'm crazy with the set-up

get the set-up well balanced.

Thanks to all three of them!!!

[AlmasterGM]

Fallout: New Vegas Mafia (a large theme) could use a review. This game is still under heavy design, but I've already invested quite a bit of time into the setup and I'd like to get some feedback before I dump in a lot more.

People afraid of mechanics need not apply.

Any kind souls out there willing to donate their time?

[Faraday]

Hit me up AGM.

Gammagooey has signed up to help with

Mafia Glossolalia

. One more reviewer should be enough.

Mafia MetaMafia

is now at a point where it could use a review. People who are afraid of mechanics or Brutal

Assassin

Honesty need not apply. I have really high hopes for this one

To give you an idea of what you would be looking at...

Here is an example of the mechanic using a Sample Role PM featuring someone who is not in this continuity.

~NAME~

GAME:

Mafia MetaMafia

ROLE:

High Priest of Rinnosuke Morichka

DOMAINS:

Austerity, Balance

ALIGNMENT:

Neutral Good

ALLEGIANCE:

Town

FACTION:

[REDACTED]

--Abilities:
(Passive)

WHAT IS A MAN

- You will investigate as Mafia to allegiance investigations.
(Active)

Role Cop

- You will discern target player's Role.
(Worship)

Worship

- You will empower target Domain.
(Cast)

Cast

- You may use one of your Casts, provided you have enough Faith.

--Casts:
1)

- Target player will be Neighborized with you during the next Night.
2)

Vendor

- Target player will receive your choice of the following abilities: {Doctor, Tracker, Role Cop}
4)

- You will discern target player's list of Casts.
7)

Unleash MANLINESS

- You will become unlynchable for the next Day, NK-immune for the next Night, and have a daykill available during the next Day.

You win when it is no longer possible to prevent your faction from being the only one left in the game.

Confirm via PM. I wish you the best of luck.

Each Night, this player has the option of:
*using Role Cop on a player
*Worshipping the Domain of his choice
*Attempting to Cast a spell, although if nobody Worships Austerity or Balance, there's nothing available TO Cast.

I am interested in running a survival-horror game with a similar voting-outcome mechanics to that of CT: CoA, as well as a few of the "Game-Specific Rules" used in L4D Mafia. The game is ideally broken up into various phases. With survival being the main focus, players are given cutscenes and have 2+ options to vote on, as it determines the next scene. The anti-town know of each outcome and would like if the town chose incorrectly, as it would hinder the town in unique ways - outcomes may possibly be static (pre-set), conditional (relates to an earlier outcome), or enable the anti-town group to use an active choice (in line with factional abilities).

After a certain number of cutscenes, the next phase would see players situated in

rooms

with each other, now able to lynch/NL. The anti-town have no way of interfering in this phase, and neither would any town "power roles." I am considering dividing everyone into groups so that they have smaller sections of players to vote for, though this would tie in with any conditional outcomes that everyone independently chose - i.e. 4 players chose "Door A" while others went to "Door B," thus explaining why they are grouped the way they are.

I would like to go over how many number of lynches each section should be able to make (1 per section, or temporary lights out style?). The reason I am undecided is due to the possibility of mafia all shuffling into a "room" with one another and voting NL in order to save themselves - which I like the idea of, to be honest.

I only have town and anti-town alignments on my mind, but I'm not opposed to including 3rd parties if they serve a purpose. For

the first game

, I'd lean towards only including town & anti-town factions.

Oh, and there will be references to L4D, Res Evil, etc. I would very much like it if a few of you are able to help me knock out this setup by the end of the month.

This, or at least 2 reviewers for my Capcom Crossover game. I'll take all comers. I give love back, AND love to give back, meaning I am more than willing to review for anyone at any time.

[Charlie]

I need 1, maybe 2 people to review my first mini theme of 13 players. The game centers around the subject of candy and zoos, and needs to be checked for balance and whatnot.

[AGar]

Need a reviewer or two for a mini theme. Flavor knowledge not required. Nothing major mechanic-wise. Balance checks mostly.

Thank you, MagnaofIllusion & Empking.

I would like a reviewer for my large theme (20 players). It is based in the Nintendo universe, but knowledge is not required. I have the roles, just haven't put the flavor to the roles yet.

Got a couple sets of eyes, would like at least one more set

Still need some reviewers.

[Kise]

Sheeeeyit, I love Nintendo!

Thanks to Empking for reviewing!

Can I please have at least 1 more set of eyes for this?

[Mr. Flay]

Could use somebody who DOESN'T want to play Succession Mafia II to kick some ideas around with - I don't have the setup finalized in the 'roles and rules' stage yet, because Weird Mechanics are eating my brain. Need a reality check...

No rush. This'll probably start in April.

[CryMeARiver]

Andrius and I have been attempting to create a Large Theme game similar to Gorrad's Favorite Fictional Characters Mafia with a whole bunch of random characters thrown in the mix. If anyone is interested in helping, not only balance, but create (though we have quite a bit down), shoot me a PM and I'll attach you to our QT for it.
Thanks!,
CMAR

[quadz08]

I've created a fairly basic Large Normal to help with the current lack of them. I'd love it if someone could give it a once-over for balance!
