Alright, so here is the comprehensive list of Epic Powers, as promised:

Lavalake: Lava Summoning - Create a lake of lava in between your target and incoming attacks. Protection

Liquid Transmutation - If you make the faction kill, you can incinerate the body. Role, alignment, and items on the target are not revealed.

Stormwarden: Chain Lightning - If you make the faction kill, all players that targeted the same person are roleblocked next cycle.

Windform - You are immune to the lynch

Hypnotist: Mind Invasion - Target a player to learn their role and alignment

Suggestion - Change a target's vote to another player

Tachyon: Super Speed - If you make the faction kill, you cannot be roleblocked unless the blocker uses your weakness.

Temporal Reversal - Target a player. All actions they take fail, and all actions targeting them fail.

Starsight: Astral Form - You may use 2 actions per cycle, and survive the first attack against you.

Starfire - Roleblock another player. If you use Starfire twice on the same player during one turn, kill them instead.

Gifted power (Starfire) - Target another player. If they target you, they are roleblocked

Hydroplane: Liquid Surfboard - Reduce the number of votes on you by 2

Mirage - a random action targeting you is redirected to another player of your choice.

 

All of these powers took an action to use. Epics could also be targeted by the Black Market Arms Dealer to create Motivator Tech items. Here are the items, listed by Epic:

Nighthound: Regenerative Jacket (Passive: Block the first attack against you)

Hydroplane: Image Caster (redirect a random action from you to another player)

Starsight: Astral Projector (All actions targeted at you fail)

Lavalake: Lava Gun (The target you attack is also roleblocked)

Stormwarden: Lightning Projector (Your attack can target 2 players)

Hypnotist: Emotional Soother (Redirect a vote)

Tachyon: Speed Bracers (Passive: You may take 2 actions per cycle)

Look at all the cool items I could have made

No Stoner?

I feel ya.

[Seonid he/him]

Nope, sorry.

The only thing I really took from the signup thread was Lavalake.

[Mark IV he/him]

Lava!

[Seonid he/him]

Heh. I never did put together that retrospective, did I? Ah well. Any thoughts I had weighing heavily on my mind are gone with the passage of time now. Sorry about that, busy lives and all.

This was a fascinating and experimental game. Unfortunately, due to it's nature, it probably can't be run again - it relied heavily on folks not suspecting that almost everyone was a neutral role with an individual win con until later in the game. It almost certainly had balance issues, but I hope folks had fun with it.

The time has come and gone to lock this thread, though. So without further ado, goodbye!

If anyone would like to try their hand at running a game, please get a hold of Wilson, Orlok Tsubodai, Alvron or myself. Not only will we get you added to the list, but we'd also be more than willing to help out in any way we can.

You can also ask questions and get some hints and feedback from everyone over here in our Art of Game Creation thread as well. With all the games that we've run so far, we have plenty of experienced GMs that can help you refine any game you're thinking about!

If you would like to play, a new Long Game should be up and running in the very near future, so watch for a signup thread to be posted!

Thanks again to everyone that played and we look forward to killing seeing you in future games!
