Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

This is one of my favourite movie series and I want to run a werewolf game themed around it.

Not sure when it will run. I'll have all kinds of family stuff around Christmas, and I assume most of you will too. And CPFB is running a game first on USG. So it will likely be after Christmas. Also I could run it here or on USG.

I'd like to get 19-30 players. There will be lots of cool roles though not a full mish mash. I'll try to make it balanced. There won't be explicit time travel involving changing previous days votes or bringing people back to life. However the trilogy takes place in four different times (1985, 1955, 2015, 1885) and there will be some characters who can only interact with characters from their same time.

I've made a full list of roles but won't be posting it here because I don't know exactly what I will reveal about them, and they might change. Some likely possibilities:

3 Marty characters (1955, 2015, 1885) and 3 Docs. Each Marty masons with the relevant Doc.

Lorraine (1955) - convertible villager if Biff finds her before George does.

Terrorist (1985) - who wins with the evils but doesn't know the evils, they don't know him. Can suicide bomb one player during day. If he targets Doc, all Docs die.

As said this won't start for a good while but I'd like to gauge interest.

needs neutrals

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

any particular reason why?

there's definitely going to be a Marvin Berry character, maybe he will be a neutral. There's also one or two other possibilities.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Sounds really good. I agree with monk that neutrals will be a good idea. More complex gameplay and more stuff to figure out.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

I would cut down the masonries to 1 unless you dont plan on adding a seer. I think when it comes to WW in general the ability for villagers to work together outside the game and to confirm each other is more powerful than people realize. 6 confirmable villagers + some seer peeks + villagers being able to put their heads together without doubt = gg.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

you're probably right. I definitely don't want a game where 6 people can role claim and start confirming each other. That was part of the idea behind the Terrorist role being able to kill all the Docs if one of them claimed.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

This would probably be my first WW game. Interested, but since there's time until it starts, I would need one of ya to take me through a better understanding.

Surfing threads heavily to get a grasp, so. Definitely interested.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

I agree with GT1T on the power of masonries. If you plan on having a large number of masons (Zurv had 5 of them in Simpsons and it was strong for the village), then you should also have ways for the masons to team up with evils and not know it. Or, at least something to offset the power of confirmation.

IN by the way.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Was there a Doc in 2015? Or do you mean the 1985 version in 2015?

Is there going to be some version of the "Don't contact your future/past self" rule for the characters who have multiple selves in game?

IN

It's the 1985 one in 2015, and also in 1885. And yes, probably.

pew pew pew in

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

On a totally unrelated note I'd like to see a WW game with no wolfchat. Wolves just know eachother and nk is randed to one of them each night.

this wouldn't be very different than the way wolf-communication has been in a lot of my recent wolf-games.

love this in.

I've only played 1 WW game FWIW. Would like to see full list of roles first.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

I have to be in.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

I'm in

But you should really disclose as much as you can about the characters for balance tweaking purposes. I'm not a fan of the recent trend in WW games to not have a full role list before the game starts [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Great series but the one with the trains was SO BAD. Anyone that votes 3 sucks imo

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

what i loved about the second one was the whole sports almanac angle

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion

you mean you don't like games where one day can go on for ever? or you don't like where the day can end early due to majority lynch?

There will definitely be a set night each day. There probably won't be majority lynch early because there might be double voters or other funny business. If there is nothing like that there will be the possibility for early majority lynch.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

If there is a set night each day, there's really no reason to have a majority lynch, except in the rare case where we're voting for an outed wolf or something.

In that case, you can make a mod-decision on whether to have 2 days in 1 or something.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

as villager I usually hate majority lynch but if that's what the village wants I would let them go for it.

all im saying is that plurality lynch in a set time limit or majority ends early -- thats fine. Requiring majority for a day to end is nuts, especially if there r neutrals

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

as far as whether majority lynch ends day or not, i dont care, its the requirement of it to end day i was talking about if i didnt make myself clear

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Wow, how did I miss this? ININININININ!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

In. Will do my best to obey rules and not ruin game for everyone.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Sports Almanac == corruptible villager?

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

In btw.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

also, there will be lots of characters who peek the same. For example all the Martys (and probably Marty jr) will peek as Marty.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

who else voted #2 as the best

who is my mason?

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Changed my mind. Don't fancy it.

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

Interested

Re: Back to the Future signup and discussion
 

not starting till 7/1/07 (some mod change the title please) so lots of time for people to drop in, out, give up werewolf, have kids etc.
