> [@Chronos](#): > > While we’re at it, I’ll mention here that eventually (within a year or so), I plan to run a game themed on _The Name of the Rose_. The primary reason I’m mentioning it so far in advance is to make sure folks have a chance to read it: It’s a great murder mystery, and I’d hate to spoil it for anyone. That sounds AWESOME! I don’t know if I’d be able to play – I try to resist the temptation to get on the SDMB while at work, and since I’ve never played Mafia before it might be better to have my first game be something more basic – but I think it’s a great idea. 🙂 ---

Hey, would anyone object if I get on line behind Mahaloth? I’ve been thinking about running a sequel to Evil Dead; I have a more elaborate rule-set under development, but that might be best served by Idle’s board. ---

I’d prefer it if you’d run it here, actually. Once my next game is finished, I have nothing further planned and would **LOVE** to play your game here on the Dope. ---

Quick update. My game in in the final stages. I always think I’m ready, then review it more with others and see problems. Should have it up and running soon. 🙂 ---

Well, I don’t have a game fully prepped, but I have a few in early stages. If no one else has one, I can probably get a Mafia game up and running around the end of December or so. Anyone have on ready to go? ---

I don’t have one ready. I’d like to try to put together a Blazing Saddles themed game if anyone would like to help with setup and balance. ---

I’ve got some ideas, but I want to do some more work on theoretical balancing before I mod one again. Coming eventually: The Name of the Rose. I urge everyone to go read it before then, so the game doesn’t spoil anything. ---

I actually do have a game ready, but wasn’t planning on running it due to bufftabby’s game on idle’s board. But as I am now dead, my time seems to have been liberated. It’s not a usual game though. I’m tinkering with a game spilt over two Towns that are interconnected. If there is sufficient interest, I can run that one. ---
