If you're not willing to reveal the details, just request a more experienced person to help you with them over PM. There's bound to be someone out there who didn't want a shot at playing but still knows what they're doing.

Also, who doesn't want to run a bastard mod?

Me Never saw the point myself.

They're neat enough but people seem to rarely (if ever) figure them out.

[Darvi]

Well that's the point innit?

[JanusTwoface]

Depends.

My goal is to have fun and for the players to have fun. Them not being able to win may be amusing for me, but less so for them.

[IronyOwl]

So long as it's interesting and they make progress, I think most players can have a good amount of fun while losing.

There's also the blind-man humor for all involved after the fact.

I was talking with webadict about dwarven mafia - almost got it figured out, though the dwarves are too strong.
if anyone wants to help PM me

EDIT: what exactly is a bastard mod? where the GM is tricky and doesn't say everything out loud?

It can also be a game with non-standard goals or hidden goals (see Kill Webadict Now Mafia).

someone help me finalize the dwarven mafia (already read through 3 games) (this is a bit different btw) and wow that looks fun.

A quick summary of such:

Well, the example of Kill Webadict Now as a Bastard Mod is that everyone was informed at the start that Webadict was the scum and that they should kill him immediately.

I was telling the truth.

However:

If he's lynched, the first person to unvote him gained his role and he flipped their role; that player then becomes The Webadict, who has the same role.

The Webadict also had a large number of one-shot abilities that could be used in addition to a nightkill. And there was a Jester. And a Survivor I think.

Also, the Webadict himself did not know how it spreads. Only former Webadicts.

I just read through 23 pages of it.

I haz an idea/

[TolyK]

Does anyone want to co-mod Dwarven Mafia? Any ideas or suggestions?

[Mephansteras]

So, next on my list I think is the RP Supernatural. It'll probably be a small game, since it'll appeal to a smaller audience. But it should still be fun.

Not sure how early to put it into signups. We've got 5 games running right now, so it might be a bit.


@TolyK: I don't think I'll co-mod it, but if you want I can help you balance it and give you advice if you want.

TolyK: I suggest you take him up on his offer.  He helped me out with Mafia Salad (thanks again!) and it was useful advice.

Moving the RP Supernatural game into sign-ups. Probably won't start until at least next week, but I want to give people plenty of time to read through the example game and get used to the idea.

The game also starts with a Day 0 for pure RP stuff and character creation before roles/factions are determined and that part can go on for a few days before the actual game starts if necessary.
