Unless anyone cares, I plan on putting BYOHF into signups soon-ish, so it should probably go into Games in Queue.
AUTO-SIGNUP
...
how do you play these kinds of games exactly? I get the basic picture but...
:D

Pretty much.  It's just like a BYOR, except you send in a historical figure instead of anything.  The mod then creates a role based on your submission.


We have five running games, one in signups (not counting KotM which is running and signups at the same time), and a BM waiting to start.  I'd like to put up another game while Roguelike 1 finishes and refine it for a second run.  Would people prefer:

Smalltown (All player's roles are known publically)
A 13p game with generally standard roles that has a theme
A 13p game with a twist

I'm down for any of them, with a slight bias toward the last one.  I'd wait a little bit to put it in signups, so running games could wind down a bit more.  Let me hear your opinions!

TBH right now I'm sick of themed games (which we seem to have a lot of), so one with a twist sounds great.

Just out of curiosity, how many games are there usually here?

Speaking of Mafia games, HOW IS THE FLAVOR FOR THE BM COMING ALONG? HMMMM?

I'm still busy, and a significant portion of my waking hours is now being occupied by napping, as paradoxical as that is.

It's going well, and it'll be the most flavour heavy game I'll have run - though considering I've only run one before this (and a relatively flavour light one at that), I guess that's not too hard.

But it'll be a lot of flavour. In quantities comparable to that of Vector's game and NSBM, hopefully.

That, and the fact that I was severely disappointed in my own performance in Vanilla Mountainous. I was procrastinating, and the flavour was chickenscratch made up at the last minute.

I'm still making it last-minute, and still procrastinating to an extent, but hopefully this time around it won't be chickenscratch, or whatever you want to call it.

What would the pull be for a Bastard mod game with a Portal theme?

i think Portals would make a terrific bastard mod since GlaDos changes the rules all the time.
