Just so’s you all know, we’ve got the skeleton of a game up here and I’m LOVING the way it looks so far. Complicated enough to be interesting but clean and playable. Once we have the rules ironed out we’ll post them so you can start picking them to pieces. 🙂 ---

I think it was Gadarene who ran a Mystery Mafia game where every player had a power but no one knew what their action did. That was also a lot of fun, I remember. ---

> [@Precambrianmollusc](#): > > And crap I missed the deadline > . Dang, wish you were in **PCM**. Maybe the real deadline could be Friday…? In any case, with 55 players, there are bound to be subs needed. I think a waiting list for subs would be useful because even small games frequently require subs. ---

> [@Precambrianmollusc](#): > > And crap I missed the deadline > . Dang it man! You had so much time! I wish we could sneak you in but we just finished balancing the dang thing and we have a crap ton of writing to do so we really can’t go backwards. But you will be the first alternate . It like 80% we will need one. ---

In Arkham Revisited the Night SK did me in, because I accused her publically of being the SK after she claimed Vig. And we still won thanks to Bruce Wayne not giving himself away.

Q: How long would this game take? I’d love to join, but around feb/ early march I’m planning a two week long performance road trip through Germany and further. Other than that I should have plenty of time, as all classes were put in the first semester. Second semester is all individual work. ---
