RippleGylf she/her Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Don’t Kindle Flames. Don’t run at Night. Don’t shed the Blood of another. Three simple rules keep a man safe from Shades in the Forests of Hell. But so easy to break. Blood was spilt when the Mutineers killed Montgomery Jack and tried to take his place. Flame was kindled when you set their tent on fire to avenge your crew leader. And everyone broke the second rule when the Shades came. Red eyes glowed behind you as you ran, desperate to survive. You got lucky, arriving behind the protective silver circle of the safehouse before they caught you. Others weren’t so lucky. Of the nearly hundred men and women of Montgomery's crew, only a few dozen made it safely. But the Shades are still there, just beyond the silver. You recognize them. Wilim the Eager, who once taught you had to make traps, Aoran the Doctor, who once saved your life in a raid gone wrong. Tryel the Herbalist, famous for his fireless meals. All once friends, taken by the Shades. All of them with eyes glowing Red, wishing to avenge their fallen leader. You can’t escape until the mutineers are gone. But which of your friends are loyal, and which are traitors? ------------------------------------------ Hello all! This will be my first time GMing an SE game, so hopefully this goes well. Also, big thanks to Joe for writing the write-ups. Gameplay: There are two groups; the Loyal Crewmembers, and the Mutineers. The win conditions are pretty basic, the Mutineers are trying to outnumber the Crewmembers, and the Crewmembers are trying to kill the Mutineers. The game consists of combined day/night cycles, consisting of 24 hours. The twist for this game is the role of deceased players. When killed, a player becomes a shade. Each cycle, they can collectively inspect a single player by majority vote. If the player uses a kill action, eliminator or not, the player is killed by the shades. The victim of the inspected kill action is still dead. Sorry. If the shades are indecisive and can't reach a majority, then nothing happens. Every player starts out with a limited number of items. As an action each cycle, a player can either use an item or give it to another living player. All items can only be used once. Items carried by dead players are distributed randomly. What items the deceased had will not be made public. Not all players will start with an item. Items: Knife: Used to kill a player once. Cannot be used simultaneously with a Mutineer kill. Silver Powder: If carried, player is immune to shade kills. Only consumed if the player is inspected during a kill. Intoxicant: Used to change a player's vote. Order of Deaths: Eliminator -> Lynch -> Knife -> Shade Signups end 8pm EST June 11th.

cloudjumper he/him Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I'll sign up as Lark, the gibbering madman. I may not be active first cycle, but I'm not sure.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Which one was that? I survived the original Shades game, QF6. Count me in. Ialim is here. Did you survive maillow? Because according to this games flavor text, you didn't
Mailliw73 he/him Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Did you survive maillow? Because according to this games flavor text, you didn't fairly sure.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Well you died since then, as did Aonar. As you might be able to tell, I've been tapped to help with flavortext and wrtiteups, so if you have a request, send it to ripple or I, and we'll make it happen.

I'd like my Shade(which is apparently a thing now ) to be the one to kill me, should I die.
Conquestor he/him Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I would like to join as Lorien, the crew member who is knew, but knows a lot of things.
Elbereth she/her Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Ooh, looks like fun. I think I'll sign up as Crepuscula, because why not. Question. How do PMs work this game?
RippleGylf she/her Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Ooh, looks like fun. I think I'll sign up as Crepuscula, because why not. Question. How do PMs work this game? PMs are not restricted, just include me in the PM.
Sart he/him Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I don't think I will be busy with the other game, so I will sign up for this one. My name: Sam Trudite My role: Lookout
Mckeedee123 he/him Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I'll sign up for this one. I'll be Mekel Moss, the crew's cook and resident bad boy. Do votes count as kill actions for the Shade Inspection? 1
Young Bard he/him Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I was hoping to participate in a QF, and this one looks interesting. Sign me up as Yon, the scholar who has decided to travel with the crew as long as it takes to get through the Forests for the added protection.
Zas678 he/him Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I'm in. I'll be Zas, a worldhopping tourist that thought that Shades sounded like "fun".
Nyali she/her Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Not to be EXTREMELY UNNECESSARILY nit picky, but I'm pretty sure it's just don't shed blood, it still counts if you're shedding your own blood. (again, very nit picky) No it doesn't. It's don't shed the blood of another. Nosebleeds don't kill you, nor do women die if they're out in the woods when they have their period. Both of those examples are explicitly mentioned in the text right after it says it's okay to shed your own blood. 1
DeathClutch19 he/him Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Sir Ulrich von Liechtenstein - The illegitamate child of a noble Will be signing up
AliasSheep Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 I just realised that almost the entire duration of the game will probably take place whilst I am away and thus distracted by idiots (read: friends). Can I switch to joining the Spec doc, please?
