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? :P

Me :) Never saw the point myself.

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

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.

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).

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

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.

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

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.

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.
