  Welcome to an attempt to have a mafia-like homage to Phasmophobia! This is very much an experiment and doesn't match up to the actual game. It is meant more of an introduction to the source material than an attempt at a serious setup. Don't expect balance coming into this! Several mechanics are changed from standard mafia, so please read the OP carefully!  Please also note if you have prior experience with Phasmophobia. What is Phasmophobia? Phasmophobia is a ghost hunting game for 1-4 players. You go into haunted houses to try and figure out what kind of ghost you are dealing with. The ghosts may or may not take offense to that... The game is available on Steam (Early Access). Basic information Days will be 48-72 hours in length. Nights will be around 24 hours. These are flexible based on when I want to be up and doing things. While Discussion will still happen during the day, so will the Scum NK. Voting will be during the day but the actual flip will happen at the end of the night. This is a role madness-ish game is for 16 people. We’ll be using Discord to manage everything, so please make sure you have access to it for the game. Discord link: https://discord.gg/eK3HJFr4AT Alignment changes are not part of this game. Special mechanic: Investigation and Map Movement Yes, you heard that right! This game will take place on an actual map on which your location will matter. What you can do with this will be decided by what side you are on. Investigators (aka Scum) can move freely during the day phase, up to and including leaving the house entirely (required to restock on items). It's their job to identify what type of Ghost is haunting any specific room in the house. Investigators need to correctly identify a Ghost to NK them. They target the room rather than the player. The limit of one NK per night still applies but can be "retroactively" applied - if Investigators miss out on a kill they can double kill to "catch up". Investigators carry items to help their investigation and have a Sanity meter (3 Sanity) - having a low Sanity opens them up to a Hunt. Your sanity can be preserved by holding a lit candle or restored with Sanity Pills. An Investigator isn't directly aware of their Sanity, but it can be checked outside of the house for the entire team. During the Night Phase, an Investigator still in the house can only move 1 room. If there is no light source present, there is a 25% chance to get stuck in the room. They have the following items available to them (and can carry up to 3 at a time): Sanity Pills: Resets the Sanity Meter to 3. 4 uses. Thermo: Lets you determine Freezing Temperatures instantly instead of having to stay in the ghost room for a night. 3 Items. Photo: Let’s you take photos. Taking a photo of the ghost lets you restock all charges of 1 item. Instantly detects Phantoms if they manifest. 3 Items. Paramic: Lets you locate specific players. 2 items. Candle: Requires a Lighter. Holding a lit candle preserves your sanity even if you stand in a dark room. Can be blown out by the Ghosts. Also lets you do an Onryo check. This starts a Hunt if it is an Onryo. Also counts as a light source. 4 Items. Lighter: Required to light Candles and Smudge Sticks. Light Source. 2 Items. Smudge Stick: Requires a lighter. Protects you from the ghost during a Hunt. Alternatively, use before a hunt to stop a ghost from hunting for 2 nights. 4 one-use items. Crucifix: Prevents a hunt if the ghost tried to hunt from the room it was placed in (or if it is still in your hand) 2 items, 2 uses each. Salt: Instantly detects Wraiths in their ghost room. Requires an UV-Light. 2 items, 3 uses. EMF Reader: Detects the Evidence EMF 5 if it is a ghost that has said evidence. Usable on item throws. 2 Items. Spirit Box: Detects the Evidence Spirit Box if it is a ghost that has said evidence. Requires the light to be off. Needs to be used in the room the ghost is in currently (which may not be the ghost room) 2 Items. Ghost Writing Book: Detects the Evidence Ghost Writing if it is a ghost that has said evidence. 2 Items. D.O.T.S: Detects the Evidence D.O.T.S. if it is a ghost that has said evidence. Needs to be viewed for a night in order to function, can be done via Video Camera. 2 Items. Video Camera: Detects the Evidence Ghost Orbs if it is a ghost that has said evidence. Requires the light to be off to spot ghost orbs. Can be placed in a room to have visual coverage without an Investigator present. 6 Items. Flashlight: Light source. 4 Items. UV-Light: Detects the Evidence Fingerprints if it is a ghost that has said Evidence and has touched a door or light switch. Also detects Footprints (Wraiths do not have footprints and can be identified that way) 2 Items. Motion Sensor: Lets you detect if a ghost has roamed from their Ghost Room. Placed at the door between rooms. 4 Items. --- Ghosts (aka Town) will haunt one specific room in the house and can only leave the room under specific circumstances. It's their job to try and hide their Evidence from the investigators or mislead them in some ways. Most Evidence only gets revealed when they are in the same room as the investigator. Each Ghost can have any combination of 3 of the following Evidences: EMF 5 DOTS Ghost Writing Ghost Orbs Fingerprints Freezing Temperatures Each night, a ghost must do one of the following: Throw an Item or blow out a Candle (leaves EMF evidence for 1 night) Touch a window or door (leaves Fingerprints for 1 night) Roam to an adjacent room (Can confuse Investigators by giving Evidence in different rooms) Manifest in a Ghost Event (Lowers Investigator Sanity by 1) Start a Hunt (requires an investigator with 0 sanity in the room or an adjacent one) Each one of these (other than the Hunt) requires all others to have been done first before they can be repeated. A Hunt can be triggered if the requirements are met but has a 2-night cooldown. Each ghost has a Strength and a Weakness that may bypass these general rules. A Hunt is when a Ghost gets angry enough to try and kill an Investigator. In doing so a Ghost will manifest physically during the Night Phase (in most cases) and chase after the Investigator. An Investigator has a chance to run away into an adjacent room. If the ghost follows them into that room, the Investigator gets another chance to run away. However, if the Investigator gets cornered with no way out, the Investigator will die. Remember: Claiming or even just hinting at your role as Town will literally get you killed this game! --- The Map:    General Mafia Rules (That have been stolen from Natural 20 who stole them from Somberero) 1. Don't be poo poo to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you’re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later. 2. If you post fewer than ten times across a game day that comes within 12 hours of finishing with no advance notice (such as RL problems), you will receive a warning. At a second offense, you will be mod killed. 3. Don't edit your posts. 4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to an Obs doc if you want to chat poo poo. 5. Feel free to post after the hammer/during twilight about non-game stuff. 6. Flavour is flavour, you’re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavour justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations. 7. No replacements after D2. 8. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies. 9. Don't fake day actions. 10. If you are affected by a Day Action, you may continue posting. You may do your action like normal, even when targeted. Day actions essentially resolve just like night actions whenever possible. A note about result language 1. A result that successfully targets will yield the result. "You successfully x your target" 2. A result that does not successfully target will yield the result. "Your action fails." 3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result other than those that require it, this is a mod error. 4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected. 5. Some actions are publicly visible in the thread, some are not. Make sure to check your Role PM! Lastly: This is probably going to be a bit unbalanced. In case it wasn't obvious. Be aware of this if you sign up. Signups:

Lol, I was telling Yami that my experience so far has been mentally preparing to do the tutorial and learn about the tools. I stepped a single foot into the tutorial house and heard a weird noise and pressed alt f4, because it was after midnight and I was in the dark. I'm going to try again today, in the daytime. e: I have since mustered up my courage and went back into the house lol, but now I'm just like... "am I an idiot?" speaking into the ghost box "howdy doody? Are you present? are you here? ghosty ghost?", shining purple lights on any everything, placing the camera, running to the van, replacing the camera, running to the van, examining my notes.
