As in NPC enemies? Not sure if it'd be a good idea to have those with this format, but that'd probably go without saying for player enemies.

Ah, so our ideas differ then. This sounds like a straight-up mafia then.

Do you mind if I draft a game of my own which involves an adventuring party and a villain whose goal is to get everyone else killed? I'm not one for plagarism. ;)

I don't mind at all. But I may want in, especially if it involves Jojo.

On second thought, perhaps a few hostile NPCs could provide impetus for investigation. Though anyone participating in this thread would now know that any NPCs wouldn't be the true villain.

Also, I've never really run a Mafia before, so some advice on formatting the game would be helpful. Does this count as actual mafia, and should I move it to the appropriate subforum when the time comes?
If you'd want to, sure :3 But it seems like a vanilla Mafia game with Jojo-themed stuff in it, which can modify the roles in play. Although if this is a Mafia, it'll follow something like NQT's Unconventional Mafia Funtime, but I can't talk about that since it's still running :P
Also this has 1 Antagonist compared to the vanilla team, so it's like one vs the world, or one nice SK.

I'd love to join though. x3

But if you need formatting help, we can PM each other :3

Yeah, for balance I'd recommend a few third parties to make the main antagonist's job easier, within reason.

I love you people

Well, this might be something I need to work out in a test game, which I hope to put together this weekend (not on the forum though).

This sounds like it'll be a gold standard... no, a golden wind among mafia games. In when it starts.

It sounds like it counts as mafia, so I'd put it there if I were you.

PTW.
I agree.

When lax in rules opens up creativity I usually am not myself at all the first to be a stickler.

However when there's clearly some organization efforts going on to put a popular category in one place so that the main thread can get more visibility for the other types of games I think that's a good thing.

I would think so also.

Though... if it's a mafia game, you'll need to throw it in the queue.

Or rather... the QUEUE.

Thus named because it's currently eleven games long.

Yikes. This is far from ready, I'll need to do some test games and such, but still, I'd prefer to be able to start it at my own convenience. When it happens to come up in a queue might not coincide to when I have an opening in my schedule.

I took a look at the thread, here. Some things to note. For one I think this is just a courtesy thread not something that's enforced by moderators. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't be nice to make some kind of effort which I'll address in a moment what you could possibly do. There's some part about beginner games not going to the que I don't know if yours would qualify so you may have to ask. And that's really what I want to say is you could just tell them that you've got scheduling considerations tell this to the author of this thread and I'm sure he will be glad to work with you.

Either way let me know what happens. So please do move your thread to Mafia.

I've moved it now

I'm honestly thinking of using d20 as a basis for this, though with some heavy modifications of course. I think the round-based combat and the challenges system may be up to the task.

Since you moved it into the right area, I really suggest prospective players read up on the latest BeginnersMafia games to freshen themselves up for what's gonna generally happen in forum Mafia.
Also Hugo, if you'd like, I can help arbitrate your work here :P You can talk about it with Mephansteras if you'd like since he's the board's mod and knows a ton of stuff.

Mafia-themed, I believe?

Basically, should anyone (NPC or not, and still not sure about NPCs) wind up in combat, it'll be instanced. Survivors will be able to tell others what happened, but players not directly involved will not be privy to the events, except from second-hand sources.

I would recommend using Quicktopics for those instanced battles.
