D'rek is on June 4. I'm going to the NZ Meetup through mid-late July starting early July, so I'm guessing mine is going to be in August at some point.

Afaik Ments' is next, then if htere is time a low TMDI game or two before D'reks Espers. Then I think Tapper has an Arthurian Game ready if need be.

[Sir Thursday]

I thought someone said they wanted a low TMDI game next? I was going to run my TMDI 1 mini. Guess I can drop that back a bit if Ment's window for running his is small though.

Title for that one is "The Numbers Game", by the way, if someone wants to edit the OP. I make no apologies for the nerdiness of the setting.

Depends on how long Ments game is going to take. Drek's game has priority, so we need to work around her date.

Not ready by a long shot. Just picked up design again.
I'm going to use that one as a creative outlet for stuff I can't put in ToD, which has my main focus.

hrm, i may have time to run my game in a few weeks time

now to finish it!

If Ment needs to run batman now, that's fine we can reschedule Espers to later in the year. But I certainly won't be running them back-to-back (especially right after zombies) because I don't want to TMDI-burnout people. Even with a M&P game between zombies and Espers I'm worried about it. After all, we had 4-5 weeks of sengoku multi-cult-ness, then a week of ToD mass-roles/bazaar-ness, and now an enormous zombie faction game for at least 3 weeks. I'm not convinced two weeks of an M&P is going to be enough to cleanse that...

I concure.

[Path-Shaper]

Yeah I didn't even play this game (obviously) and I'm feeling as if I need a break. I'm sure it won't last once the signup goes up, but who knows.

[D'rek]

Ok, so if it is really optimal for Ment to run his game now or soon-ish, that is okay, I don't mind re-booking mine. Espers is one of two games I wanted to run this year and the other was Ambience (already run) so I'm really not in any hurry.

If Ment doesn't want to run batman, then let the motion be carried that the next game shall be strictly M&P?

[Path-Shaper]

ST has a low TMDI Mini, so I'd rather let him do that than a true M&P.

I think he said it was a 1? Close enough for me, if it is for everyone else as well.

Definition of TMDI 1: X Players, Y Killers. No other roles at all. . It's as M&P as you can get.

IMO, it's the other way around.: M&P = only RIs and Killers, but TMDI 1 can include the basic 4 "tier 2" roles - healer, finder, guard, and symp - in very small proportions.

[Lizradusa]

I have a game ready to be run. It is titled "l spy a spy". Approximately TMDl 7. I don't have time to run it before mid-june

[Azathmaster]

I have a low TMDI (TMDI-1 or 2) mini I can run in between some of the higher TMDI games this summer. Titled " Don't mess with the Cartel."

I forgot, my game is open on numbers player wise and JVL will co -mod.


Azaths game needs 13 players and I'll co-mod.

It's a 3way (4 if there's more people) cult game, with an independent Predator, and a decent amount of killing powers, running a 36h cycle (32 h day/4h night).

looking for 16-20+ people, so the length is likely dependant on participation.

My job's a 9-5 gig, without reliable net connection, but Lizra's my Euro co-mod, so we should get decent coverage.

EDIT: I'm cool with ST running a mini before me, But i'd rather run Batman before Mid-June, since then I'll start slaving away my weekends @ the waterpark again.

I have a low TMDI (1 or 2, a couple of basic roles) mini, either 12 or 16 players which can also be run between some of the more complex games, whenever really. It is Disney themed and anyone who wants to roleplay would be more than welcome to, characters I can either assign or people can request if they have something in mind.

Also if anyone needs a co-mod and doesn't mind a newbie too much I am UK time-wise.

From the OP:

Quote

Twisted Mindfuck of Doom Index (Rating System):

TMDI:1 = X+Y players, X roleless innocents, Y killers
TMDI:2 = As 1, but a small number of simple roles. Eg: 12 players, 2 Killers, Symp, Healer, BP/Vig.
TMDI:3 = Large number of simple roles.
TMDI:4 = Small number of rare/complex/unique roles or mechanics.
TMDI:5 = Multiple threats to town. Eg: Cult/Serial Killer/Second scum faction.
TMDI:6 = Large number of rare/complex/unique roles or mechanics.
TMDI:7 = No discernible town and scum... ie: factions/cults only.
TMDI:8 = As 7, but with Large number of simple roles and/or uneven teams.
TMDI:9 = As 7, but with Large number of rare/complex or unique roles and/or uneven teams.
TMDI:10 = ROYAL MINDFUCK. As 7, 8 & 9 plus screwy unheard-of mechanics... ie:LOST mafia.
TMDI:10+ = FIELD RESEARCH: multi-faction games with numerous unusual/experimental mechanics, and unrevealed details. ie: HEROES, Reality Dysfunction.

I know the first post says that, but that's not what occurs in practice...

If that's the case, then we either need to update the OP or update how people use the TMDI rubric, because IMO game complexity is something that's important for all the players to know before they start playing. It's probably the rubric that needs an overhaul, because (a) there have been vast numbers of TMDI 10+ games that are not categorized, and (b ), there are a lot of games that give an approximate TMDI. A good rubric should ask a series of questions about your game and return a number you can state with confidence.
