This is a mafia game for thirteen players.

Items of note:

1) Everyone gets a power role.
2) Alignment is randomized in regards to role. A scum can be Cop and a Town can be a Godfather, etc.
3) There are a lot of non-standard roles. I'm going to include detailed role information in the flips.
4) I worked to make sure roles are balanced. That said, there are thirteen power roles in this game so ymmv.
5) Standard mafia rules apply.

What is Unknown Armies? It's a kickin' rad 90's roleplaying game setting. If you've ever read a Tim Powers novel, it's pretty much that. There are Avatars of collective unconscious working as cashiers and wizards who gain mana from buying a first-edition autographed Dickens novel. Here are some words from the game itself.

QUESTION. How did you get here? Did you read the mafia discussion thread first then try to find a game, or were you just browsing the game room and decide to join?

It's for a survey.

I have a bunch of ideas I didn't use for this setup, so if there's any interest I'll run another afterwards.

The Green Glass Grail scenario from Weep probably has potential as a Mafia-like thing.

Roles should be out, please let me know if I missed you somehow.

In the world of the weird, you learn to accept coincidences for what they are, incontrovertible fact. You found yourself wandering towards the warehouse district, allowing yourself to be guided as the vessel of someone unknown force weaving an invisible patten. Standard stuff, really. As you entered through the back door of an abandoned shipping facility, you weren't surprised to see others waiting. A few more trickled in, until it seemed the flow of people had stopped.

As if one of you had wished a distraction into being to being to prevent the unfortunate necessity of small talk, not that anyone possessed such awe-inspiring powers, a bang emanated from the other end of the warehouse. A man so tremendously injured as to be unrecognizable stumbled forth from behind an office door on the other end of the warehouse. He took four steps, tried to wave a missing limb, and collapsed to the floor.

In his jacket pocket, there was this note.


quote:

Dear Freaks,


I know that this isn't exactly the coziest community, and god knows it was a sonuvabitch to get you all in the same room together, but it's for a good cause. Or a just one, anyway.

Something is killing us in this city. I don't know if it's some kind of hoodoo or just plain human meanness, but it needs to stop. Some of you in this group of thirteen are responsible, and the doors won't open until you're dead. If you're reading this, well, damnit.

Sincerely,
The Saint

Day One Begins!
