So as I said earlier, I have a bit of an itch to run a game. I welcome people's thoughts, and offer these points:
a)
Dariush is right, I will abandon for now the idea of a Vengeful game (they are fun, but lurking is murder on them, so it may not be the time).
b) I will put any idea on hold as soon as
Meph is ready with P22 (or
whatever); it would be lots more fun, and I'd much rather play that than run a thing.
c) I think
Cybrid VI would be a fun setup, for a ten-or-so player game.
d) or...
...I'm also thinking about trying my clumsy feet onto
JanusTwoface's big ugly shoes, and try to run a
Sorcerer's Apprentice game. For those unfamiliar, it's a standard town+mafia 9 or 12p game with
three power roles (in my version, scum is guaranteed one Sorcerer), where the power roles become more and more powerful with the support of the players. You support a school of magic (colour) via PM to the Mod, and that sorcerer's powers increase for the night. Previous games:
[ I ] [ II ] [ III ]A problem in earlier Sorcerer's Apprentice games was to entice all players to support something (most players just "forgot" or neglected to support). Some options to entice them were tried, with varying success. I propose that people can't
vote until they have supported a
school of magic. They can post in
red, but it won't actually be
counted until they've PM'd their support for a colour. They can change this at any time during the day phase, and can support dead or absent sorcerers/colours. There may be a small "perk" or bonus gained by supporting a given school.
These games have been in the past also the ones with limericks, which have been endless fun, but have nothing to do with the actual game. An advantage of me running it instead of playing it is that I'll limit the limericks to the game flavour.
Tim Blue's Academy's murderer
was surrounded by many a perjurer.
The deeds done were tragic,
so an Apprentice, with magic,
must lynch the responsible Sorcerer.So how 'bout
Sorcerer's Apprentice IV? Anyone interested? Would this be a better or worse idea than Cybrid VI?
