Hi, all -
As some of you might know, I'm in line to moderate the next game on these Boards. The game is going to be loosely based on the Ripley Scott film Blade Runner, and I have a number of odd little twists in mind.
Here's the thing: I need a couple of additional minds to help me develop the roles and rules, pre-emptively identify possible game-breaking strategies, balance the factions, and flesh out a few other things. The problem is that I'm currently planning this as a partially-closed setup - it won't be as anything's-possible as the current Firefly-based game, but nor will every detail be laid out at the outset as in some other games.
So anyone who volunteered to help with the game most likely wouldn't be permitted to play in it. So if there's anyone who expects to be taking a Mafia break after the current game and would be interested in helping me develop the next one, drop me a PM and I'll send you what I have so far.
Thanks!

You're next up, by the way, to host it here if you still want.

Signing up to play already, because by then I'll definitely have a much better calibrated scumdar, and maybe I'll even figure why people find me so gosh-darned scummy all the freaking time.

I'm already in on Pleo's game...but after that one I think I may take a game or two's break. So if you want help setting yours up, story, or want feedback, ideas, anything of the sort, I wouldn't mind helping.
It's up to you. But yeah, Pleonast's game will be seven games for me that I've played in a row, including the one I hosted. I'm going to risk getting burnt out if I keep it up.

I'll probably send the basics of the game setup a little later today, when I have more time to format them.

Hey Story, I don't have a lot of experience with Mafia, but if you're still looking for help on the setup I'll put my hand up to do so.

How can I say no? I will have to find a BladeRunner appropriate monkey avatar.

Looks like we have players already!
1. NAF1138 2. dotchan 3. Kat 4. hockey monkey
I don't know how many I'll ultimately need; I still have to play with the balance a bit. But anyone else who'd like to preregister, please feel free to do so here.

If its on here, then count me in. Though i know nothing of bladerunner. It always makes me think of the Arnold Swartzenegger movie "The Running Man" instead

Sure, I'll play, though it's been a while since I saw the movie. Shame, since it does have Dutch pride (who speaks his mother tongue with an accent you could slice bread on, these days )

Haven't seen the movie, but I'd be interested in playing. It'd be nice to be on the other end of the "knows things about said universe" spectrum.

For what it's worth, I'm going to set the game within the Blade Runner universe, but not within the Blade Runner story; knowledge of the film won't really help you or harm you.
Updated count of interested players:
1. NAF1138 2. dotchan 3. Kat 4. hockey monkey 5. Roosh 6. Yattara 7. atarus

If it's played here, I'd like to play. Hopefully I can make it past Day One this time.

I'd be happy to help balance the game, if you're still looking for help on that front. I enjoy that aspect of the game as much, possibly more, than playing.
Enjoy, Steven

Enjoy, Steven I'd love to hear your comments on the balance. I'll send you a PM with some of the info at some point after the Day ends in the ongoing game. Thanks! P.S. - Thanks, also, to everyone kind enough to not mention that I misspelled the name of Blade Runner's director in my initial post to this thread.
