Probably not.

I actually nearly ran a game called Funnee TV Mafia, where people would make shows during the day, and based on their performance, they’d get different night actions.
Scrapped it right before game start because of personal reasons, but I like the concept.

If you were to ask the Zone of today: “As a setup designer, what is your worst nightmare?”

Then he would answer: “Other than a setup with a metric buckton of mechanics and abilities, my nightmare would be an [undefined setup]. Not a setup that is not made yet like uPick, but rather something like the AI-generated setup that Geyde ran in November 2022.”

“In other words, [a setup where the roles’ abilities have barely comprehensible descriptions, which the players may interpret as they wish].”

“It would basically be an interpretation hell.”

That was hilarious

Yeah… Unfortunately IIRC I died in a Boats Event before I could use my time-travel roleblock ability, which had the potential to revive players had I targeted the assigned faction killer.

#13118

I waited to kill somebody, I literally have one-push-button-to-win.

#13119

Lesson learnt: Never enter a death game event anymore. I am simply too much of an explorer and/or greedy hoarder to stay alive.

I figured out the lying darkness, 3P killers without allies are hard.

No gain without pain, they say. Remember FAM 2022? Kiiruma hasnt forgiven me that he used me as bulletproof vest, but he end up dying instead.

And I took everything.

But all went for naught, by picking the wrong mafia member.

D&D hood of 2023 was da bomb

This feels like scuffed Dorian Grey.
I’m down for it.

#13125

I don’t remember FAM 2022, but that sounds funny. :laughing:

#13126

With Dorian Grey, the players have (minimal) agency because they can submit their art for the hosts to interpret.

My nightmare would be a game where players “have something (weird) to work with” but “can (and most likely will) try to cheese their abilities by trying to convince to the host that their ability can do more than what the host initially thought”.

The more I think about Zelda Mafia, the more I’m realizing how many problems could’ve been solved by “scrap the template creation and just have be decide things”.
Which might have created more problems, but I don’t think setting hard boundaries helped the game (case in point: Zone’s experience).
