The Return of the Resistance (Avalon)

Thread Games

Back in November and December, I moderated a couple of games of “The Resistance” here on the boards. Here is a link to the first game. Some of the players seemed to enjoy it, and some others would like to give it a try, so I am going to run it once again. This time, though, we will use the theme and some of the special roles from the “The Resistance: Avalon”. The gameplay is exactly the same except for the following:

The theme changes from “resistance members” and “spies” to “loyal servants of Arthur” and “Minions of Mordred” respectively.

Certain players will have special roles. Since it seems that the servants of Arthur have an even harder time online than playing face to face, I have chosen the roles that should be of most help to the servants of Arthur. Two Arthurians will have roles. One will be Merlin, who will know who all the minions of Mordred are. The second will be Percival, who will know who Merlin is. One minion will have a special role. They will be the Assassin. If the Arthurians complete three missions successfully, they will not automatically win. The Assassin will be revealed, and the minions will have a discussion. After this, the Assassin will assassinate one of the Arthurians. If they assassinate Merlin, the minions win the game.

If you would like to play, let me know be replying in this thread. I will run the game with from 5 to 7 players.

MentalGuy, this sounds like fun, and I’m keen to see how the tweaks work out. Could you count me in please?

I didn’t like the lack of face-to-face cues last time, but I’m a glutton for punishment. I’m in.

Thanks. At this rate, we will be able to start the game sometime around late July.

Count me in, and now we’re on track for some time in September…

Sure, I’m in.

I don’t normally inhabit the Thread Games forum, now that they’ve been segregated. Perhaps other would-be players don’t either. Maybe our esteemed moderator could drop a PM to those who played last time.
