Im thinking about doing a werewolf game but star wars theme. Named THE SITH GAME. Its not for sure yet im contimplating.

If you have any ideas you wish to put forward then please do so stuff like rules and roles.

I may no be as good as eld or ronin but ill try my best.

 

[elDiablo]

...but ill try my best.

Good! Anyone who wants to do a TWG-style game should! So go for it! I back you all the way!

Edit - will post ideas later

 

[Sephiroth]

lol good idea, might need some nutter (like ronin) to come up with the killing scenes tho. no really he is too good at that for it to be any less than a hobby

yeah... ooo try something likee errr instead of lynching it would be sacrificing to the emperor! (woo)

 

[midgert]

Right this is what ive come up with so far.

Characters
Citizens of the republic: Can vote to throw someone into the sarlac pit
Jedi Master:Can view a persons true identity each night like the seer previously.
Jedi Oracle:Can protect one person each night apart from himself


The Hutts
Bounty hunter: Can capture one person and stop them from voteing- he will be anonymous
Leader of the Hutts: has 2 votes


Villans
Sith Apprentice:Can Kill someone each night
Sith Knight:Can kill someine each night
Sith Lord:The sith lord has the power to make one person it can be anyone ammune to the jedi masters powers

Escencially the hutts and the republic people work togeher but i just thought i would seperate them there to show you the layout.

THis is just a few ideas i have had its not all that different from The werewolf game i just thought it would be fun

 

[waterproofbob]

sounds like a plan midge could be a right laff. Could have jedi padawan instead of oracle.

also not sure what you mean by

The sith lord has the power to make one person it can be anyone ammune to the jedi masters powers

probably me being dumb.

Im guessing he means that the sith lord can protect someone from the Jedi Master's seeing powers, which is actually a good idea! Although it probably wouldnt happen often, if the Jedi knight did try and 'see' someone who is protected, he'd probably assume they're a sith. Thus, the Sith lord can use this to his advantage.

Im thinking this game is looking quite good, just one thing though - don't create too many special characters because a) it'll become confusing and b) there'll be more 'special' characters than 'ordinary' characters, which would in turn make the special characters the ordinary characters.

Good thoughts though! Will be joining this one too if it comes into fruition. Bagsy going a champion Podracer!

 

[Sephiroth]

no bob i'll be honest with ya. it makes no sense whatsoever i would assume he means that the sith lord can make 1 person immune to the masters ability like himself or one of his allies, or if he wanted he could second guess the master and mask one of the innocents to make them look like a sith

in short, lords stops the master finding out what you are

edit: hide bob and hope to god that the master checks him first xD next day "bobs a sith BOBS A SITH!!"

 

[waterproofbob]

I feel at this stage I should admit that I am in fact a Jedi. this may make it a little unfair.

 

[Sephiroth]

and i shall therefore admit that im a dalek god xD

midgert,

Splendid idea. I do have some feedback, short and long, from my experience of messing about with the roles.

I'll go for the short just now as I'm supposed to be doing something else but I'll be both pleased to play and review any/all ideas you have.

In no particular order, thoughts from my play experience of TWG1 and ref experience of TWG2 and my reading of your descriptions:

• The person with 2 votes is a screaming target for both lynching and evil attack. In hindsight, I think I'd tend to avoid public empowered roles of this nature so that everyone's in with an even chance.
• Notice you've got some sort of ranking going on in the Sith. You planning on having that work similar to the way it was in TWG2 with the lower ranks being unable to vote the higher ranks into the pit?
• Can the Sith Lord also vote for killing or is his power entirely about blocking the Jedi?
• Wonder whether the Jedi Master and Jedi Oracle might be the wrong way round, given your descriptions? Wouldn't the Master protect and the Oracle see? (No biggie, just wondering!)
• Bounty Hunter looks an interesting role, especially when you consider he's playing for the good guys. Concept wise I like the idea. Questions to answer include whether he just stops them voting in the day, or whether he also prevents their night action? Probably just the former as the latter could prove problematic. Also, can he claim to abduct himself? (I'm clearly not the Bounty Hunter as abducting myself would be crazy...)
• I'm guessing that both the Jedi roles are covert? I suggest they should be. Overt roles, such as the Night Watch Captain, appear to be "kill me first" targets, which is unfortunate.
• Do the Sith get two kills per night, or just collaborate on one kill like with TWG1 & 2?
• It is really important that the true nature of someone is revealed when they're lynched. After extensive discussion with Pia, I believe the Werewolf/Mafia game has two prime points of excitement, from the stuff the referee does:
  1. Who was killed over night and how horrible was it?
  2. Who was killed in the evening and what were they really?

All in all, though, I think you've got a perfectly workable setup there.

Because I'm more than a little mad, I was finding that I was spending an hour talking to Piacular (read: carefully ensuring that he couldn't wheedle any information out of me ) and then up to two hours writing PMs and following morning descriptions after my day close each night, and around 30 minutes writing my evening description just before that. I was fairly florid, though, so you could easily afford to be terse and it would still be fun. In fact, I suggest you keep it shorter unless you find you've got time to burn.

Finally, if you fancy using my prose style for your morning/evening write-ups, then the bbcode is:

[noparse][desc]This is a flowery description with a beautiful illuminated letter for the first letter of the first word of the first paragraph only. One liners don't look so great but multiple lines and multiple paragraphs do pretty well.[/desc][/noparse]

... which looks like:

[desc]This is a flowery description with a beautiful illuminated letter for the first letter of the first word of the first paragraph only. One liners don't look so great but multiple lines and multiple paragraphs do pretty well.[/desc]

Looking forward to it.

Just hit by another thought:

If the Sith Lord can block one Jedi action per night, and the Sith can attack one person per night, and the Jedi Master (?) can protect one person a night, won't the Sith Lord always prevent the Jedi Master from protecting the person the other Sith are attacking?

I like the idea for the Sith Lord so I'd not want to just kill that idea dead but I wonder if that situation could be balanced up with a detrimental effect for the Sith Lord? Maybe... uhm... let me think on it.

 

[midgert]

As i said its just a start but yes the sith are in roles so anyone lower than the lord can vote the lord into the sarlac pit. The jedi roles are covert , yes good idea ill change the oracle and master round. The leader thing about two votes maybe the hutt leader knows who the bounty hunter is and vise versa. But they are stil working against the sith.

For the sith lords power i may have to rethink that, maybe he could be the same as the master so he can reveasl one person each night so the sides are fairly balanced. And yes the sith can vote to throw someone in the sarlac pit.

 

[Ronin Storm]

For the sith lords power i may have to rethink that, maybe he could be the same as the master so he can reveasl one person each night so the sides are fairly balanced.

Yep, that could possibly work; certainly an improvement. My only caution might be that the Sith are already in a position of information superiority and giving them an information gathering power may give them an overwhelming advantage.

Just noting things as I see them. Ultimately, your game, your rules, run it exactly as you wish.

I dont yet have a date to start it yet though so im still going through rules.
