Gather round ye yonder kitchen table, and fill thine goblets with the dew of the mountaintops! With thine record of personhood clasped in hand, and armed with your polyhedral reality manipulators, it is once again time for a game of Dungeons & Dragons MAFIA!

There is a mountain no one climbs. It dominates the landscape like fear and the memories of what once lived there. But memory recedes and rumor breeds and the rumor is a rumor of power and riches.

Long ago, an evil cult occupied Mount Death Frost and performed so many unmentionable acts that the ground itself has been suffused with the psychic and spiritual residue of those whose lives were lost upon it. You represent the Adventurer's Guild whose been contracted out by the Emerald Enclave to restore natural order at that forsaken place. However, some of you have been contacted by the Zhentarim who want the relics and information in that place for their own personal power. Who will win is a good question, but the better question is who will survive...

:siren: How do I play? :siren:
This is my most ambitious rendition of this game yet, before I've just done some crappy multiple choice adventures, this time you actually get to create a character and level them!

So to sign up for this game, I want you to choose 3 classes that you wouldn't mind playing from the list below and PM them to me. Also post in thread that you want to play.

Classes
  • Fighter
    Specializations: Two-Handed/Sword & Shield/Duelist
    Body: 3
    Mind: 0

    Body: 1
    Mind: 1
    Soul: 1
  • Ranger
    Specializations: Beast Master/Hunter/Wildling
    Body: 2
    Mind: 0
    Soul: 1

Each class has three specializations that determine the mafia roles they use. Each class also has 3 pre-selected skills in which they are proficient.

Each night, if you take no action, regardless of alignment, you may take a long rest and change your specialization.

Each night, if you take no action, you may participate in the available quest(s). The quest(s) will present a problem or situation to the players in which you will describe to me what you intend to do about it and if any of your skills apply.

I will roll 2d6, adding the appropriate modifier for your attributes and 1 for a relevant skill. The modifier for your attributes is the value assigned to Body, Mind and Soul respectively.

Should you succeed in a quest, you advance in level. Advancing in level restores the abilities of one specialization that you choose and gives you an opportunity to switch your specialization without taking a long rest.

Should the players form groups in the narrative, they will have a temporary OOT communication created for them so long as they are grouped. However, standard mafia rules apply. Do not communicate out of thread unless allowed.

Voting is majority, no vote is allowed.

Your classes, attributes and specializations are available for all to view, but your abilities are not. Safeguard that information, only share it with those you trust.

CLASS IS IN NO WAY INDICATIVE OF ALIGNMENT. Alignment will be randomly assigned after all classes have been filled.

48 Hour Days / 24 Hour Nights (or all in).

This is a game for 12 Players.

You know what, okay sure.

Question about this bit:

What do you mean by "restores the abilities of one specialization"? Are all abilities 1-shot?

Also boo that you can't do a quest if you do a night action!

Most of the abilities are one shot. Each specialization has one ability. Restrictions/modifications to abilities, if any, are explained in the role pm.

Yes, that way people aren't constantly using, leveling, refreshing :)

Fair enough. :colbert:

Also are quests going to be in-thread or by PM? I assume the latter.

Quests will be in thread, unless they are something specific to the player in which case they would receive a PM.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Missing a couple other class choices. I'll send out roles tonight if I get them in, but I know a lot of people are celebrating/relaxing/back at work so we'll get the ball rolling when everyone is good.
