Whyever not? Putting a 1 game restriction on players and/or characters would make this a very short lived game.

Lol yes, it’s Lessie/Paalm/Bleeder. Congrats!

Nope Nope Nope. Clue #4: This character died.

That’s exactly what I had in mind, you just beat me to the punch. Thanks for beginning the project. I skimmed your spreadsheet and tweaked a few things and added a few things just off the top of my head. First of the Sun obviously needs a lot more added to it. Here’s a spreadsheet that someone made with all the scene tiles written out in English and German: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/122357/all-scene-tiles-german-and-english

Nope. Nope. Nope. Clue #3: This character did not get along with a particular god.

Isn’t that all the more of a reason to have a dedicated game (sub)forum? That way everyone only has one forum to worry about. The admins could even post a disclaimer at the top of the forum saying that it may contain spoilers, if they so desired.

Not sure quite where to post this, and not sure quite which site admins to tag, so I’m just going to go ahead and post it here and tag @Chaos, @firstRainbowRose, @Argent, and @WeiryWriter and trust that if I made a mistake that someone will fix it and/or point me in the right direction. Anyway, I’ve noticed that in the past several months there has been a signficant increase in the number of forum games being played on this site, particularly in the general thread. Aside from the games that have their own forums and sub-forums (like Sanderson Elimination and the various RPGs), There are games such as (in no particular order) Guess that Cosmere Character, Guess that Cosmere place, Cosmere Codenames, the Nightwatcher boon/bane game, the Awakening game, Cosmere Character Roast (Rap) Battles, Um... Actually (a game), The Elimination Game, Hurt and Heal Cosmere Edition, and probably more that I’ve missed because I haven’t perused the correct section of the forums lately. With that in mind, would it be worthwhile to create a separate forum or perhaps a Subforum in the General section dedicated specifically to forum games? What does everyone think? (I’m particularly curious what the admins think).

Nope. Nope. Clue #2: This character has killed more than one person.

Hey everyone, so I just played a game tonight called "Deception, Murder in Hong Kong." It's kind of a mix between werewolves/mafia/SE and Clue with a hint of Codenames. After playing a couple rounds of it I would love to adapt it to the Cosmere. Has anyone else played it or heard of it? Anyone interested in helping me flesh out rules for the forum and convert everything over to the Cosmere? If you haven't heard of it, the gist of it is this (sections put into spoiler tags to make it easier to navigate this post, not because of anything spoilery): General Rules: I'm posting this here because this game is very similar to SE and would fit well in this section of the forum, but there are some significant differences: First, nobody is ever eliminated or removed from the game, so there wouldn't be any players getting lynched or murdered or gradual whittling down of suspects or any of that. Second, the game is designed to be played with up to 12 players (including the FS/moderator). Now, it might be possible to play with more players than that, but for now I say we stick with a cap of 12 players, and then maybe experiment with more players later on. Third, the game isn't set up with Roleplaying in mind, but then again, neither is Mafia/werewolves. I don't see any reason why we couldn't incorporate roleplaying into the game like we've done with SE. Fourth, with only 3 rounds, even if we make each round 48 hours long that would give us a 6 day game time, maximum (Upon further thought I think we ought to make it 72hr cycles / 9 day max game time)- possibly shorter than that if the investigators make a lucky guess early in the game. That's significantly shorter than most SE games. If we tried to fit it into the normal formats it would definitely have to be in the QF category, unless we did something like run multiple rounds of it to take up time. Alternatively, we could add it as it's own special format, or even take it to a different part of the site (there are a number of other forum games being played over the in the general section, for example) if it's deemed to be different enough from regular SE to be considered it's own thing. I'll leave it up to the moderators to decide that ( @little wilson @Orlok Tsubodai @Alvron @Seonid), though in the meantime I'm sitting at the top of the QF list and wouldn't mind using that spot to give this format a try, if people want to. Now, assuming there is interest in trying this, there are a number of things that would need to be done to get it converted to Cosmere and prep it for play on the forums, and I could use some help with that. If you're interested in helping out, read below. Things that need to be done to get the game ready to play: None of that is especially difficult, but most of it would be pretty tedious, especially if I try to do it all by myself. Coming up with 300+ different cosmere weapons, items, locations, etc. is a lot for one person to do, which is why I'm putting the call out for help. Also, I want to see if there is any interest in trying this before I potentially put all that work in for nothing. So, what do people think? Want to give this a try?

Yup, that's what tipped me off. I said to myself, "Who owns an army?" And Eondel immediately popped into my head. Clue #1: This character was in a romantic relationship with another character.

Okay yeah reserve me a spot please @Ashspren. I have a couple characters in mind that would be fun to do, so no worries about characters.

Bravo to everyone in round 1! Fantastic job all of you! Now I really want to play. When can we sign up for *round 2? *EDIT: meaning the next tournament, not the next round of this tournament, of course.

Congrats Red team! That was a close one. I’m up for another round. I’ll try to get a new grid put together sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Eondel

I wonder if he’s doing what he did with the original Mistborn trilogy and writing all 3 books (at least the first drafts) before book 1 gets published. This let’s him put foreshadowing in book 1 for things that happen in book 3.

It’s probably the same mysterious artist that painted the painting that Lightsong (and later Kaladin) saw omens in.

If my math is right blue team needs 1 more blue agent and the assassin. The red team just needs the assassin.

Congratulations, you just won this game before it even began!

Yeah this one is tricky. Don’t forget Noorden, who was the obligator who served Elend. It could be any of them. I think Preservation is the most likely, so I’ll go ahead and make that official and see what happens.

This sounds awesome- I think I’ll pass on signing up, at least for the first round, because I’m white and cannot rap. I will say though that you should probably judge results via a poll, rather than upvotes. Mucking about with upvotes for the purposes of the rules of a game tends to be frowned upon.

@Jondesu and @Scion of the Mists Yes you are both correct. Red team has one more guess and needs to find the assassin in order to win.

What happened to @Cadmium Compounder and @recneps? I guess I’ll go ahead and guess Siri, followed by Duladel.

Yeah I was wondering about this, too. The blog post said “more on this in a minute” and then never said anything else about it...

Well Hearthstone is the most obvious choice for “city,” so I’ll go ahead and make that one official. The other one is probably “duladel” (which is actually a country) or “the Rose palace” (which is just a palace). I believe we still have one more codename related to “Returned,” so Siri would be a good guess, too. What are your thoughts teammates?

Wow, way to go @Rhapsody!
