Theme Test Market

[DragonEater70]

How would people like to play any of the following?

1. A 13p Mini Theme based on the Trojan War, where Trojans are the uninformed majority and Greeks are the informed minority.

2. A Mini Theme set in space that is standardly designed but has certain uPick-like elements inside the game (flavored as an advanced AI that grants inventions based on your imagination)

3. A game where the roles are based on MafiaScum users (for example, the role "Alianna" would be an IC, for obvious reasons)

[DragonEater70]

1. Can't give more info without spoiling the setup.

2. Well inherently that's something you have to think about when doing uPick games, I think? If I run this game I will impose limits on how this mechanic works so it doesn't get broken.

3. Well I would like to know what people think.

[DragonEater70]

Also what about

4. Epicmafia Sandbox game
Basically a game with Epicmafia roles, 7 town, 3 mafia, 2 third parties, no one is a vanilla townie, probably mega unbalanced but that's the whole point.

[DragonEater70]

Also, Gypyx:
1. I wasn't really asking for feedback on the setup, just eanted to know if people would play it.

2. That doesn't mean it can't be balanced.

3. That could be a good idea.

ok so after my pagetop was so rudely stolen, also, here's my question:

Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (the good one), Pokemon (or Palworld)... would anybody be down for a highly-flavored Favorite Video Game UPick or smth like that? Baldur's Gate 3 would be some kind of empowered Neighborizer (bc

"companionship"

is the name of the game), Stardew Valley could be something like a Paranoid Fruit Vender ( e.g. are they giving you a lovely Gold Star Goat Cheese or an evil False Magma Cap that'll kill ya? they dunno, i dunno, we dunno ), you get the idea

I would super-enjoy a video game uPick.

[DragonEater70]

I'd say yes

[DragonEater70]

I need more info

[DragonEater70]

No!

Absolutely not, zero interest!

[DragonEater70]

Never heard of it, but if it has dragons, well I am down for having a nice snack!

[DragonEater70]

Just do what you want

I think reusing themes from several years ago is totally fine as long as you don't reuse the setup (unless it's an open setup obviously).

[DragonEater70]

Intriguing

[DragonEater70]

Not really

[DragonEater70]

Probably take this to the Open Setup Reviews thread?

[DragonEater70]

What about a "Lite Cultafia" setup, with 2 Cultafia who can recruit one town player on night 1, and have a normal nightkill on all other nights? Would anyone be interested in playing something like this?

[DragonEater70]

Didn't you already say something like that

[DragonEater70]

How is the initial assignment done? And what is the motive of the outside-the-game person in drafting?

Also I have had for a while a really horrible idea for a game where after it fills up but before alignments are distributed you have all the players submit to the mod their preference of 2 scum partners, and if 3 people choose each other they become the scum team, or if no 3 players choose each other but two players choose each other and the same third player they become the scum team, etc. I didn't do anything with that idea because it's terrible.

[DragonEater70]

Okay makes sense

The setup would be a closed setup I assume?

[DragonEater70]

Okay so now I'm curious what you are going to give town to balance a potentially super broken scumteam in a mountainous.

[DragonEater70]

nightless was my first idea

iirc 10:5 nightless is usually balanced right?

I think this leans on the "favors scum" side but probably still in the realm of playable? Like 12:5 seems balanced to me instinctively.

[DragonEater70]

Yeah true. IDK then

[DragonEater70]

Well it might also make it more fun
