Hear ye, hear ye! Come one, come all (limited spaces only, first-come first-served) to Idle Thoughts’ Mafia board, [www.idlemafia.com](http://www.idlemafia.com). In that place, in the very near future, will Storyteller present the murderous Mafia game entitled Arkham Revisited, a return to the classic setting of Arkham Asylum. The game has thirty-one spaces, of which twenty have been taken by divers persons (including your humble messenger). The design has been approved as a worthy follow-on by the Boozy Squid, one of the designers of the original game. Come, risk your neck, for the Batman has returned. The game will be run as soon as Conspiracy Five has run its course. This may take some time as the number of people dying is low. ETA : I must thank Fluiddruid for gracious permission to post this. ---

Thanks for posting this - I can promise a few fun surprises, and a very, very interesting player list. ---

I think the title of this thread could be clearer. ---

When I saw the thread title/user name combo,the first thing that popped into my head was “Mafia Game”…but for anyone outside our little clique, I agree it might not be quite so clear. I’ll be heading over to sign up now! ---

Bump There are still nine spacesfor this game. It should be 8, but someone (no names no pack drills, eh SP?) managed to sign up twice. Roll over to Idlemafia and sign up. Lynching doesn’t hurt.Much. We have a nice mix of veterans, some new players, and even the girl the Martians invaded Earth for! ---

I highly recommend this game based on the following 3 points: 1. I played in the original as my first game. 2. I played another Storyteller designed power-heavy game (Skrull Planet) and it was fun and well-balanced. 3. I’m spoiled on the setup of this one and it looks great! Story’s got a good bunch of people helping him iron the kinks out of the setup. ---
