I just want to chime in to say that K Prime has been doing a pretty great job keeping the action escalating in his Super Robot Wars game. We started out capturing single sleeper agents, and now we're saving Italy from nuclear annihilation. A big shout out to all of the other players as well.

Whenever I play Betrayal, I always houserule that the haunt can't happen before an appreciable amount of the house is explored because of exactly this situation. God drat. Edit: The zombie lord is one of the easier haunts, though. Green Intern fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Jul 3, 2014 |

RandallODim posted:With my group it's usually just a matter of seeing a Haunt trigger and all agreeing 'nope, way too soon for that bullshit'. Yep. It's generally by group consensus, aka "nope, this will be total bullshit without more of the house discovered." I'd say having between a third and half of the tiles laid out gives a decently-sized house usually? I haven't played Betrayal in a while. In one game we explored nearly the entire house because everyone kept rolling 2s on their haunt rolls.

I've played Betrayal with 6 people IRL, and it's pretty surprising how quickly you can empty the stack of room tiles (and find every single omen in the process). Imagine having a nearly completed house when the Blob Haunt is chosen, except that there are two different secret passages which allow the blob to completely surround the players (blacktext to prevent current players from possibly being spoiled)

Jefepato posted:I've only played Betrayal 2-3 times, but at an educated guess, it's less that there's too many omen rooms or anything, and more that the game has enough different variables going on that things can easily become unbalanced depending on how things are laid out and what haunt you get. I think you're thinking of the scenario where the house is falling into hell? And yeah, sometimes the traitor gets ultimate power through the scenario and stomps the heroes, and sometimes they don't and everything is already in place for a quick hero-win.

Fuego Fish posted:No, there's a scenario which involves a water level rising and you have to find a boat and get to the right room to escape. I had to endure that one once, but due to a misreading of the rules we had the water rise every turn instead of every round. Meaning that the house was underwater within one round, and we we were absolutely hosed right out the gate. I forget what it's called, but it's in there. Oh wait, poo poo, you're right. Played that scenario as a psychotic little girl with a spear and 8 strength. I put on my best Captain Ahab impersonation.

The difficulty comes entirely from the fact that none of the required rooms have been found yet, and a couple of the heroes are dangerously close to the kill-zone pentagram chamber. It's likely to snowball pretty quickly in favor of the traitor. Edit: this kind of situation is really common in Betrayal, in my experience.

Orokos at least lets you enter a campaign name to track rolls. If you're concerned about someone cheating, make sure they're tracking their poo poo properly first!

There's already some Fantasy Pro Wrestling/Bloodsport games running currently, so probably yeah.

I haven't read any of the thread, but I assume the entire thing takes place over the course of a single dinner party, judging by the pace of other PBP games.

Big thanks to Comrade Gorbash for running his Nausicca AW game. I had a great time being a painful and insistent reminder of the past.
