Going to place this one on backburner for now. I'll continue working on mechanics and all, but I don't think it's going to be ready for a while. Not before I do another smaller game.
WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILERS
(The trailer is a fan-made trailer and contains some things that may ruin your experience of the show if you've never seen it, but hopefully for those planning to enjoy this will have seen at least MOST of the show (if not, that's alright)).
This is a 7 season show, a WIDE range of characters are available with town, mafia, third party and even 4th of 5th parties being available with all the different motives!
However this will be a tad of a large game to fit it all into and I will need a co-mod to help with the little things.
For anyone who will NEVER watch this show, first 6 out of 7 seasons in here (not as interesting as watching them LOL)
Much about how the game will run is still up for debate. However I am thinking of doing a season 1-3 game and then a season 4-6 game and then finish off it with a season 7 game.
With the season 7 game having ALL the characters more toward their correct alignment, the seasons 1-3 and 4-6 both having characters towards the alignment that those seasons portray them as (at any time during those seasons).
Or I could split it up to 2 seasons at a time or season by season.
Each season would have a different amount of characters however as some seasons there aren't many portrayed while others there are many portrayed.
Either way it goes, I'll need a co-mod to run this with me right to the end. If we split it up into seasons we can do a few characters (about 12-ish or 16-ish at a time). However whenever we reach the FINAL season (whether we do all seasons at once or split it up) the players will be up in the 20's to balance out how many different parties will be in-game!
My last game was a quick set-up done within about a night, but this one will be a few weeks at least into planning as it will be much more complex to balance it but keep it interesting towards the show. I will say this now, the mafia party will NOT be the only party with the kill ability in the game and there will be more than just a simple town/mafia win/lose conditions so this will be played right to the end whether one side already has it in the bag or not.
More on this later, but for now LOST is the flavour (and a specific flavour at that!), so if you are not familiar with the show and wish to play, either watch a few episodes or read up on wiki about it more.
EDIT 1: Fooling around with some colours to be able to tell them apart. So I can decide which colours I will use for some factions. (I think that should be enough).
