Yes and no.  Really, it's more that interaction with the environment will alter the rules and influence the game in particular pre-defined ways, though there should be some definite day-game going on.

The purpose of the flavor-texting will be to remove the bastard from the mod and, with luck, some reasonably interesting/simple puzzles.  I note that we've never really solved a bastard mod (yet--I consider Neruz' game more "insane" than "bastard"), so the hope is that I'll be able to construct something that does the gametype justice.

I'd join if you'll let me. Also, iPick mafia. The mod huts the random button on
Wikipedia about thirty times and picks the most workable ones.

Hah!  I'd play iPick.  That sounds not only insane, but also hilarious.

Given the support, I'll probably start working on mechanics.  Don't expect anything for a good long while, though.  Current thought is that I'll be going with 9p and a somewhat odd day-end system.  There will probably also be play during some of the nights, rather than the typical nightphase where everyone goes to bed.

So... mafia with extra roleplaying elements and puzzles?

Also, my iPick role is probably going to be something like the Tzuf Dvash Synagogue.

Sure, why not.  I think the main thing I'm trying to do here is create a sense of "integrated" rather than "extra."  In KWN:DE, the flavortext was a distraction; in IMBML(BM(M)), we never really figured it out (it wasn't supposed to be part of the game, anyway).

Well, anyway.  We'll see how its image changes as I work on it, I suppose.

Random sample of 30 articles, with at least one star before the 15 I'd consider "good" for use, and two stars before the AWESOME ones I would definitely use.


Yeah, I'm totally going to run this. XD

Does anyone have a suggestion for a new role for Aztec Mafia?

Montezuma might be an interesting Unique Traitor Aztec.
Since they used him as a puppet. Hmm.
