The New Set-Up Review Thread

[wgeurts]

I'm seeking a reviewer or two for "Evolution Mafia". It's a thirteen-player mini-theme with an unusual mechanic that involves players "evolving" new abilities so some experience with a little wackiness does help. Mostly looking to have it balanced more.
Shoot me a Private Message if interested! Thanks in advance.

I really need someone. Maybe I can bribe you with waffles?

Crumpets are now on offer to any reviewers, I really need anyone as this is almost in sign-ups now.

Looking for someone to give a quick once over of a 11 player theme with different voting mechanics.

[Varsoon]

Willing to trade qualified reviews and even Backup mod for someone if they'll review and agree to backup mod my upcoming SPACE DANDY MAFIA II LARGE THEME.
You will need absolutely no flavor knowledge.
For frame of reference, Cheetory6 had no flavor knowledge was my Backup mod in the recent SaGa Frontier Large theme and he never had to make a single post,
Borkjerfkin had no flavor knowledge was the backup mod in my Steven Universe Large Theme and he never had to make a single post, either.
Short of me dying, your backup mod duty will likely be the same.

Also, the setup is already done and as balanced as I want it.
It's literally just policy that Large Themes require a qualified reviewer and Backup Mod, which is totes understandable.
I'd like to throw this game down to queue as soon as possible, so please PM if you are interested.

Taken care of.

Looking for a few reviewers for a 23p Game of Thrones setup that I've been working on; It's very unique with a lot of cool new mechanics, and I've been working on it for over a year now off and on. Thanks!

[Venmar]

I am looking for one more set of eyes to help me review my Civilization V Large Theme UPick. Particularly with role balance after roles have been U-Picked! Danke!

[Skullduggery]

Looking for a cool dude or girl-dude to review a 13-player theme game based on Killer Instinct. Drop me a line if you're interested.

@aero: There was a got themed game on my other site a few years ago, around 15 ppl iirc. I can im to you if you'd like for comparison.

[Sméagol]

I'm getting ahead of myself, but I have a large theme set-up I want to mod after I've modded my second mini (or my third micro).. Which may take a while (2 months?), so I'm not in a hurry.
But it can't hurt to have it done early, and I'm curious to hear what other people think of the set-up.
- 16 players.
- No flavour.
- Straightforward roles and only one mechanic based on pairing players.

I'm also offering to give opinions on other set-ups in general (keep in mind I'm not a qualified reviewer). I like to give opinions and point out issues related to mechanics and roles, actual balancing is better left to others.

I'm also offering to give an advance opinion on normal games, before it gets formally reviewed, especially for new mods.. Again, I may be not much use with actual balancing, but I think I've looked at the normal guidelines long enough to be able to help out with normalizing the game. Or I'd like to try at least.

I have a micro I need a reviewer or two for, Whispers in the Woods.

This Information Is Public

1. If you are a reviewer, I will list your name here. (And note the review topic will be released in postgame.)
2. There is at least one player who received the following PM:

   Playername

   , you are a

   Vanilla Townie

   .

   
   
   You win when all threats to the

   town

   are eliminated.
   
   Please confirm in thread you understand your role.

3. There are
   two werewolves
   in this game and
   seven town
   .
4. The werewolves possess free daychat.
5. This game features a
   special mechanic
   , the titular
   Whispers in the Woods
   . It works as follows:
   1. At
      any time
      , day or night, you may PM me the name of
      one or two players
      you wish to talk to in private.
   2. As soon as I receive your request, I will create a quicktopic for you and that player(s) to talk in. This topic will be open for the rest of the game.
   3. You cannot add people to an existing topic. If you wish to talk to someone else, you need to create a new topic including them.
   4. There is no limit to the number of topics you can create.
   5. Please note this is still moderator-provided communication.
      This means the same rules which apply to mason/neighborhood/mafia/etc. topics apply: no sharing the link, no direct quoting from it, etc., not even to another topic. (Exception: mafia can quote any private information from a topic they share with a townie into their official mafia topic.)
      • As this is moderator-provided communication, attempts to circumvent/shortcut are disallowed: you cannot create the topics yourself, nor can you communicate via PM/instant message/etc. These, just like in a normal game, are modkillable offenses. Have patience and wait for ME to make the topic for you.

The rest of the setup's information is private, but I don't anticipate it being a long review.

Should be good!

i don't think that's balanced </3

Hi, I am currently in the process of designing a 13p mini theme, Theorems Mafia, with some hopefully interesting twists on mechanics.

Considering this is my first venture into setup design I would be asking for a decent amount of feedback, especially on balance, and I would very much appreciate all the help I can get. Any input on flavor (mathematics, mainly the history of certain discoveries) would be nice but is definitely not a priority.

Contact by PM would be preferable.

Thank you so much in advance.

[Marquis]

urgent need for 1 or 2 experienced reviewers for my buzzfeed upick mini; it just filled in the queue and the previous reviewers are unavailable now. you don't need too much experience, i just want to know that you've reviewed or designed a mini size game before, preferably familiar with upicks

<3

[Jeanne11]

Anyone willing to review my upcoming Baccano mafia setup? It will be a bit different from the norm, as the roles will match character personalities, so I am requesting help.

[BNL]

If I want to run a Micro/Mini/Large Theme game, am I required to have it reviewed here before I can in to mod it?

[Cheery Dog]

All games are encouraged to have been reviewed.
Out of those theme options, large themes are the only ones with an actual requirement of reviewers though.

[StrangerCoug]

Looking for a reviewer for a 13-player mini theme based on a fictional biker gang war. PM me if interested.

[Tatsuya Kaname]

Can I have someone to review the balance of my Anime UPick setup. Promised the players to send them Role PMs in less than two days so, anyone can help me? PM me if interested, thanks a lot!

[kelbris]

since I had no offers for assistance for my last theme idea, I have another one. I am thinking of running a Gravity Falls Mafia game. I have the names and possible roles sorted, just looking for some feedback. The names and roles are:

Stanley Pines-Mason
Stanford Pines-mason
Dipper Pines-cop
Mabel Pines-roleblocker
the mayor, Preston Northwest, strong man (forgot his name), Wendy and Tyrone-VT
Bill Cipher-Godfather
8 Ball and Teeth-mafia goon
Fiddleford McGucket-cult leader(based on his "society of the blind eye" persona. If he dies, all cultists die too, dies if tries to convert mafia)

I put it in spoilers because one of the explanations does kinda spoil an episode.

Looking for help designing/reviewing a 21p Large Theme Smalltown game based on The Thing and it's prequel.

Still pretty early in the design, but I have the bases of the game laid out. It will incorporate other non-standard mechanics besides the Smalltown aspect, so experience with crazy new mechanics is nice.

Design is basically done for this, but I need help with balancing mainly. Pls help, I will give you a cake.
Edit: Thanks Pisskop! Would like at least two more people to give it a onceover.

[vonflare]

If someone can take a look at my Emote Mafia for balance, hit me up if interested.

edit: thx mhsmith0 and SirCakez

Hi,

For my Setup uMake Mafia I would like a reviewer when the game starts (which will be around the start of May) to help me ensure it's balanced. (Not necessary now)

[Cephrir]

Looking for a reviewer or two for a big Large Theme I've been slowly working on for two years. It's complex enough that finding a legitimate balance might be a tall order, but we can try. I'm hoping to be ready for the queue within the week.

[Cheetory6]

Looking for a second reviewer for Paint Mafia sequel! Will be a mini theme with 13 players!

[SnarkySnowman]

Need a reviewer for an Undertale mini theme, with a few neat mechanics.
