But something like Miracle Max from the Princess Bride LG seems to maybe fit the bill; flips/entering the dead doc are delayed by a cycle during which the player can be brought back to life. And that one also seems less likely to induce player insanity. What if, before the Gravedigger acts, there are no alignment flips, and afterward, there are, and the folks that were elim are resurrected elim and the folks that are village are resurrected village? Because, you see, when the Gravedigger resurrects dead folk, the Gravedigger resurrects ALL the dead folk. Edit: Nevermind, I think the Gravedigger is a bad idea. Unless there are some roles that can only come into play if the Gravedigger resurrects people. Hmmmmmm....

shadow1 Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 7 hours ago, Tani said: I have a role that brings everyone back to life with new roles, and I'm not sure how to make it work well, and I kind of want to make it able to work well. It's generic name is Gravedigger. The first version of it I know of turns the Gravedigger into a conf. villager as soon as he does it, so I changed that. (he dies or is Lawyered.) However, there's still the problem of the once-dead once-Elims know all the other Elims. If I make them be resurrected with their same alignment all the once-dead Elims will just get killed immediately and that's no fun. If I tell them not to talk about their groupies that won't work well because it's hard to not be suspicious of folk you kinda know are evil. If I make the Elims just not know each other that fixes another role too, the one that switches people's roles (working generic name: Tavern keeper) but causes a host of problems (like Elims trying to kill other Elims.) Is Gravedigger just not fixable? If it is fixable, please help? You could design the game to have multiple evils instead (like one serial killer, one maf, one arsonist or something) and then no one knows each other's factions. A group of Elims not knowing their teammates also isn't broken, it is just a mechanic you have to play around. Or, don't resurrect an Elim at all - it could just resurrect the villagers? I'd think to just design the rest of the game around it. It is a tricky role but it just needs to fit with the other mechanics to work! Do you have a whole setup for where you'd use this role yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeldancer Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have finished my semester! This means I'm available to run a game anytime now. I'm going to polish up my Manywar rules most likely, so if an LG is needed anytime soon, I'll be available until the end of the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 @StrikerEZ this is your early heads up that you're next on the MR list. We have you down as planning a Mistborn game with that slot. Your next two slots are for... an anon game and a conversion game, so I recommend you stick with that first option. :P. After that is Experience and TUN. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bald Brandon Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Might be able to run a game. Not sure what i have down for that slot, but I have a fun Roshar game, and MR cycles should be easier to cope with. Would probably pass to someone with a already complete/approved game though.

After that is Experience and TUN. I could probably do it. As long as the game starts next week, which it would have to. I just have to try and figure out what rules I was gonna be using for that slot.... Though I do think I would prefer if someone else took it, as I'm still in school and would probably have to try and squeeze in time to post signups during my finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araris Valerian Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 (edited) Looks like @|TJ|, @Ashbringer, @Elbereth/@little wilson, and @StrikerEZ is the current lineup for the next LG. And whoever takes it should probably keep in mind that player counts/activity is kinda low right now. I guess I'll ping @Lotus as well, since TUO is running a game right now. After that would be @Random Bystander and @Steeldancer since there are so many repeats on the list, and Kas is on hiatus.

|TJ| Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Mods, I've been quite busy for a while and I'm not sure when I'll be free next. Mark me down as such till I say otherwise. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lotus Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I've been sort of out of the loop on games lately and also the ruleset for my LG still needs some work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbringer Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Past TJ, I'm up next... I'm not entirely sure what my schedule is. Might be able to fit in a quick LG but if someone else wants it they can go ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I've been willing to run two games back-to-back, three back-to-back is a little extreme, even for me... I'd say I'd look at Ash and Randby and Steel first, especially since Steel was wanting to run a game, but I do have a low-writeup (please >>), low-player count game I can run, and just push Old Kingdom and Tyrian for a time when there's more players and I have more bandwidth, really. I...Something just happened in my RL so I may be sitting on a bigger chunk of free time than I'd personally anticipated. So kind of Ash's position here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araris Valerian Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Randby has been inactive since last November apparently, and I've messaged Steel on discord. If I don't hear from him by Friday I'd say either Kas or Ash should take the LG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeldancer Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 I told araris, I'll need at least a week to get home from Europe before I can think about running a game, plus I need to polish my Hallendren rules. That being said, I could probably find enough time to polish them this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently getting blood drawn as it seems I might have contracted dengue fever, so won't be in shape to run anything immediately.

Ashbringer Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 … oh dear. I’m out golfing tomorrow, but I could probably toss something together. Probably. Civilization 6 is quite the timesuck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth Scholar Posted May 21, 2022 Report Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) If no one else can run a game, I am fine abruptly returning from hiatus to do one, provided I have a co-GM, as at least one of my slots should be high enough on the list. Summer has suddenly expanded my SE time That said, I won’t get in Steel or Ash’s way. edit: I should mention that if I’m running any game, it’s probably this one, or a standard Tyrian ruleset, or if I’m feeling crazy and there are enough people, this three-year pet project which needs a ton of people. Given that KKC is being run later this summer, though, simple is likely better ed2t: tagging @Ashbringer to make a decision so one of us can get this show on the road Edited May 21, 2022 by Fifth Scholar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I’ve already got a volunteer for co-GM…but having you as a player would be great too!

Steeldancer Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Wow! The LG is over! That was quick. I have a game set (kind of) on hand and ready (it desperately needs to be looked at to make sure it's not horrendously broken) so I mean. If no one else wants to I can and have time to run the next LG. No biggie if someone else wants to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
