Sounds good, but what does it mean that they get more powerful?

Each Mage has three abilities of increasing strength.  If their school attracts 1 Apprentice, they can use the first ability; if they get 2 they can use the first or second; if three they can choose any of them.  They can only use one ability per night though.

One more point, the Apprentices do not know which player is the Mage of a particular school (unless they reveal themselves) nor do the Mages know which Apprentices are supporting them (that will be via PM to me).

The final tally for how much support each school is granted will be posted along with the lynch count at the end of the day.

Sounds cool, but we're about to open three games.  Can you wait a few days?

Sure.  Whenever it would be useful.

As for mine, I decided I don't have the free time to run a game, especially one with as much mod involvement as the one I'm planning. However, if someone wants to see the notes once I've got them sorted out, feel free to ask. I would just love to use CoKo's Ill Met By Moonlight mechanic, too, now that I remember it.

Maybe over winter break, if you're not a member of the workforce yet?

As in, Dethy Day 2 starts then? Plus I'm sort of ADD so I have this tendancy to forget about stuff I should be paying attention to. And I have Pandarsenic Syndrome.

Nah, I meant "the thing you're planning."

um um um hey guys

so I kinda want to GM a mafia game, and I've been thinking about what to run for a while now.

What I was thinking -if I can get the people for it- is a game with 14 people

2 mafia of faction A
2 mafia of faction B
1 cop
1 doctor
8 vanilla townies
and for fun:
1 set of siblings (between 1 mafia and either the cop or doctor)

What say you, mafia elders?

1.) No siblings. That's an instant knowledge of who's scum.
2.) Godfather and roleblocker on each team. Make the roleblockers immune to roleblocking, and able to block Godfathers killing and you've got a game.

two things:
So if a roleblocker blocks the enemy godfather, that faction loses its nightkill?

I thought siblings sounded kind of fun. The townie would have to wait until the last day to reveal, or else they would die before they could "win", and on the flip side, the mafia would have to protect that townie without being too suspicious.

Yes, if a Godfather is killing and gets blocked by the opposing Mafia Rolebocker, that results in there being no nightkill for that Mafia.

The Siblings would cause the Cop/Doctor to yell "I'm Sibs with a Mafia" then subsequently get lynched, killing that Mafia. It's totally worth it.

How about a 5-part siblingry, of both town powerroles, a vanilla townie, and the mafia Godfathers?

Better yet, a 14-person person siblingry.

A 15-person siblingry would just be mindfuck.

Well... that's a tricky one. I'm not sure if they should or shouldn't. It'd certainly be nice, but may be too anti-Town.

... Again, trading 3 for 2 is good.
