Weird experimental idea: Pro-Am Mafia.  The setup requires 14 people - 7 beginners and 7 experienced players, but uses the Sprint setup.  Each beginner is paired with an experienced player, and the pair is then assigned a quicktopic and a playerslot.  Both players are then playing the same role.

The beginners all have a chance to talk about the game with their partner, and there's built in redundancy which should mean that playerslots don't fall silent when someone flakes.

I'd sign up to try that set up.

So, out of curiousity, is running a mafia game easier or harder than playing in one?

Easier. Really.

One day, maybe it'll be our turn to try it and find out!

..Or mostly depending on what kinda game you're running.

I'd be looking forward to it :3

Who is claiming the spot for next BM Mod [post-ZU]? If not, I'm taking it

If you're playing a game, screwing up gets you lynched.

If you're running a game, screwing up can ruin the game for everyone.


I wouldn't say it is harder exactly, but it's a different skill set and has higher expectations.


The Pro-Am is an interesting idea.  On the topic of extensions, I've always found that D1 is the longest.   What about a "starter" game with simple roles*, a long D1, and regular length days the rest of the game?  It'd be marketed to players of any skill level, with the thought that the percentage of beginners is lower without being overwhelming.


*Two good examples: Wild West Mafia and Mafia Salad.

Depends. You can definitely make a game that's easier to run than play. We have basic setups if you're willing to play. Plus, Beginner's Mafia is a good mod starter, but don't consider any of these to be your only choices. If you can entice people to play your game, you're set.

You write, like, twelve pages of notes and flavor. You are in the minority.

PLUS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A GAME MAYBE WE COULD DO THAT WINK WINK NUDGE NUDGE DEFENESTRATE? BUT DON'T TELL THE OTHERS THEY MIGHT JUDGE

You know guys... I think Web and Vector are having a spat. They haven't talked to each other, in any way, shape, or form, in ages. It's odd.

She never wants to play Mafia with me anymore! She always has a headache or had a rough day at work!

[Nerjin]

Have you considered counseling? I know it helped me and my [insert whatever word you'd like here] to play mafia together more.

But then I'd have to discuss my feelings.

And then she'd lynch me for appealing to emotions.

[Nerjin]

Then she'd be playing mafia with you. I never said it was the perfect plan.
