I mainly like BYORs and variants and themed games that don't have muddled alignments or too many possible roles (i.e. B12 is good, but I don't like Paranormal anymore). More fun when people don't leave in the middle of the game. ::)

Bay 12 Mafia too would probably be quite role heavy, although not bastard.  I can guarentee no confirmed townies, at aleast.
Didn't help town at all anyway. ;)

When was the last time you played in Paranormal?  Round 5?  It's a bit role heavy, I admit, but we did some work to try to clean it up a few rounds ago.  To each his/her own of course, but you could always give it another try.  They're smaller games now too.

Yeah, as I have seen, they have dropped many players, from being at around 16-17 players a game, to less then 14 or so.

One game had 22 players in it.

No matter what I do, I always end up using spreadsheets.

Sidenote, I see some of the issue here.  Quite  a few folks want quirky games but not bastards or mountainous games. 

Funny thing, a reason why NM existed was to focus on the day game.  I think we're doing better than that nowadays.

Proposal:  Bay 12 P2 get greenlighted.  Also I wonder if there's an interest in me doing a BYOR after all.  It's been a while since I did something with flavoring, and I've taken a few hints on how to make roles that aren't stupid but not the regular 'cop/doc/vig' variety.

Yes.  I very, very much want to play both the BYOR and Bay 12 P2.  Just wait on the BYOR until BYOR 3 finishes/gets to true lylo, please, and then it'll be a great time to run it.

I'll also probably in on NM again, eventually.

For the record, do be a little warned.  The BYOR will be run by the same person that put ROLES into a Mountainous game.

aka: I can NEVER do anything normal.

The quirk (might) be small (or large) for BYOR: Choices though.  During signups there will be a list with lines like this:


Just a Dot, Not a Lot
Show and Tell
Mightier than the Sword


Each one corresponds to a rule that can be placed in the game.   Along with the normal 'give me a name' (and yes, links/videos/whatever can be used to explain your role's name here though I CAN go odd with how I spin it) you can request as many or as few of the rules as you like.  Any rule that has at least half the players choosing it will go into effect.  The rules won't be bastardish (OMG your vote goes to the one below you!!), just changing the style of the game and the roles that will be given.  i.e. "spoiled flavor" means that the flavor will have actual game information (think how Paranormal's flavor goes) and some of the roles will have abilities that touch on it.  "..in the membrane!" means there will be roles that effect sanity (i.e. scum that can make a player Insane, a doc that heals sanity..ext).

You won't be told directly what line does what but it can be reasoned out if you're that type.  You'll be told what rules are in effect when the game starts.

And if you're afraid, the game works as a standard game.  It's just a matter of adding quirks depending on what the players desire.

If this goes in my first italicized flavortext will be killing everyone who voted to put it in.
