I'd also like to run a Iliad game, as after bringing it up in the current game it has gotten so good feedback. The people talking with me know who they are, so if they would be interested in working with me that would be cool. Can't tell who they are cause that would hurt the current game but...

I had a few ideas, was thinking either
1) Greeks v. Trojans with their respective gods helping their side. Add a mechanic where the Greek/ Trojan heros can challenge another to one-on-one combat. Kinda like vig, but more like the Russian Roulette from DiBs mini.

2) When Odysseus and Diomedes sneak into Troy itself senario. So this would be Killers vs. Inno (city).

3) I also saw a Odysseus' return to Ithaca idea, so perhaps that person would be interested. This isn't my idea but I am throwing it in for the moment as it goes with the topic.

Let me know what you think. This would be great I think.

Odysseus to Ithaca was mine - I'm definately interested in creating/modding such a game and can possibly do it as a bread-and-butter standard game - but as I don't want to flood the mod thread with all my crazy ideas (and the ensuiing commitments). I decided to not post it in my last one

I'd also be interested in co-modding/ helping to set up the Iliad game.
I definately like idea 1.

[Macros]

Hmmm.
I put a game together sometime ago and promptly forgot about it.
However with work I'm only available at weekends and evening times (gmt 6/7pm - 11/midnight)
Upon review i need to do a little tweaking of it to adapt for having mutliple mods (unless the other mods are as bizare as I am)
So yeah, in need of comod (s)
Meat and potatoes kinda game, no theme, flavour for the morning scenes and the like, that odd bit of wackyness that always pervades my games.

[Mentalist]

Maccy, is that the BSG game?

@ Tapper + Stalker: will now add you both...

[Macros]

oooo BSG game!
I'd forgotten about that, that set up is not finished yet, a work in progress that I likely will let someone else run, work leaves me little time to internuts, however if someone were to give me a winning lottery ticket time in abundance would be mine.

its basic mafia vs town game, no theme beyond your generic "repect me, respect the family"

[Mentalist]

all right, i'll write you in as a mini


by "odd bit of wackyness" you mean insane finders and a jester again?

[Mentalist]

on a related note, i've got a set up for a role-heavy mini in mind, based on the game "Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain"

should be... interesting, will include numorous role combos. would like a Europena co-mod to help out with the balancing

Tapper, how's the "Mexican standoff" mini coming along, btw?

[Kurt Montandon]

Quick note: Can I get two dedicated mod-types to look over my outline for the Vorkosigan game? Basically I'm looking for an outside opinion on how I've got it balanced, but want people who aren't likely to play. One Role characteristics that, if seen in-thread by someone who's read the Role descriptions, will give away who that player's character is. So I'm looking for a couple of people who're likely to stick with modding in June or July (when I expect this game to run, at the soonest).

Of course, if you wind up wanting to play, you can just be assigned that afore-mentioned Role, so that there's no advantage to knowing the mechanics in advance ... and I'm still tweaking it a bit anyways.

Also, just go ahead the bump the TMDI to 9. It might even be a 10 ... but not nearly as much of a head-fuck as LOST or as frustrating to some as HEROES. That is, no Mohinder type Roles, definitely.

[Morgoth]

June July dosn't strike me as a likely time for me to play.. Sarah would kill me most likely. so sure

[Mentalist]

okay, about the next game

we either run a mini (Tapper, Alt, Maccy or me are all listed for one)

or we go straight to J_slr's Warhammer 40k game, provided he shows up to run it.

[Grief]

Well whatever it is, im in

[Stalker]

I asked J_Slr about his game, so hopefully he responds sometime soon.

He did help mod Grief's game though so not sure if he'd want to again, we'll see.

[Mentalist]

well, we'll be runing a mini in betwen, most likely so he can play in that before he mods again.

he first mentioned thin in like October though, so it's now his turn to mess with out poor minds...

I volunteer for this(as a co-mod)

[Mentalist]

hmm, just got a PM from J_slr

he can't run it right now unfortunately

I think next up is DiBs and alt's game...

Edit: actually no, next is Venge with the re-run of aliens... yo Vengy, is that game ready yet?

Personally, I see a lot in Bent's plan for a standard meat-and-potatoes game. we didn't have one in between 37 and 38, cause DiBses mini was all weird, and none neither before 37, iirc. For the purposes of introducing our new players to mafia and get them comfortable with the basics, I think this is close to a necessity.

[Mentalist]

hmm
well, whomever wants to run one, be my guest

mine is fairly standard, but role-heavy, so might not be the best inro set-up

[Morgoth]

I could run a non-cf tmdi 2 or 3 game if neccessary

[Grief]

Non-cf?
Not exactly an easy introduction...
