Particularly directed at monk and freeform so as not to spam my own thread but it's also an idea so can go here - I was struck whilst "drawing" by the terrible awesomeness of the idea of a Telephone Comics style rtd, where one gm writes the results and "plot", the next draws it, and the last one dialogues it. Without, obviously, receiving any explanations. It would be silly. And hard work.

Anyway, I enjoyed that and wish I had a tablet.

So I was reading a book, and thought that something the lines of a "Street Gangs of Rome, 55 BC" would be cool. Basically in that time period there were two politicians who decided to organize street gangs to keep them in charge.

I have an idea for an RTD that combines Mafia and Roll To Dodge.

During the day it's classic RTD with villagers investigating the murders and getting rolls, but during the night the mafia takes their actions without rolls. I'm not entirely sure how that would work out, though. Any suggestions?

Or maybe just use the day turn to investigate instead of questioning one another, or in addition to that?

Or you could split the things apart. A day, a traditionall RTD, where the group of people has to accomplish something (Make sure trust is important here). At night, the werewolves come out and devour someone.

Some of those should have their own rolls such as one and sixty, you get those and roll on another table.

i remember that one game used that, or a version of that. It was made by meph i think? Tiruin proved to be a ghoul in the end, 3 teams (Werewolves, knights, witches), a skeleton you could vote for and some other wonky stuff. Good read though.

I'm thinking there should be just two teams. Maybe a few special roles like cop and medic, but those would have impacts in both modes of gameplay as well. If the werewolves/mafia (I'm leaning werewolves) try to mount a day assault (For whatever reason), the cop could be the only person in the town with a gun, but he'd have his regular ability of investigation during the night.

Or, since this is an RTD, the other citizens could have guns (hunting rifles, shotguns, etc.), but the Policeman gets a +1/+2 to combat rolls during the day?

Could you provide the whole list? I only managed to load until 25 and then the whole gif loaded...

I've never seen Darvi's Revenge before though. :3

* Tiruin loves this idea.
