SPEEDWOLF™ - Brainstorming & Sign-up

[Curiocaueri]

I take it, that's a sign-up? 

Yeah, I was waiting for the rules to be a bit more set in stone, but so far doesn't sound too bad.

, but there could be one more added element which would help people decide. Not sure what that element should be.

I'm up for it though.

The narration could give some ambiguous hints about each player.

Yeah, that's something I've been thinking about already 10 years ago, but the problem is then, that it becomes a host-driven, rather than player-driven game. Plus, people will always be able to accuse me of giving away too much or too little, so it's inevitably going to be a frustrating experience. If you have a solution for that, however, I'm all ears!

I tried it in my game to varying degrees of success, I think. Because each player's character had publicly known traits I could tease and give hints in the narrations that flamed discussion a bit but didn't have me become too involved or have it become frustrating.

I think some of my other mechanics led it to be frustrating and overly drawn out, much like the source material, but I think I did a pretty good job with the narrations.

Eh, sounds like a bad time for me, I'd rather play a more traditional game. Have fun though!

 

[Adaham]

Pity, but thanks! If you change your mind, always welcome! 

Also don't forget, that the "rush" is only for the first days till we reach LyLo, after that it's fully traditional.

I figured Moose! would be all over this game; lots of voting with little to no discussion to read? Sounds right up his alley.

Didn't want to go there, but yeah, can't deny I had similar thoughts 

 

[Adaham]

Come on guys, one more player, and we can start the experiment 

Xardob, Soot, Magorian...where are our regulars? One of you must be around 

 

[Dago Wolfrider]

I pmed Soot and he hasn't answered me.

 

[Adaham]

So...um....anybody? 

 

[Roccoflipside]

I'll play as two people. That way I can vote myself without it being such a big issue

That's illegal, if you are not me.

P. S. Where are all the other usual players?

 

[Adaham]

Alright, so since this is SPEEDWOLF™ anyway, I could imagine a scenario in which we start off with one guy less, and the first innocent that dies replaces the inactive guy. For day 1 we could just keep the guy as the kicker if a vote is missing at the deadline, just try to avoid a stalemate with 3 votes each. If you agree with that, I can try to set up things maybe later today and start the whole thing soon. Might post a rundown of the final rules first as well.

 

[Moose!]

I'll play.

 

[Roccoflipside]

...And there was much rejoicing...

yayyyy... 

 

[Moose!]

Actually no, **** just blew up at work, I'm out - sorry! 

 

[Roccoflipside]

... Well that was fast... Hope things get smoothed out soon.

 

[Adaham]

Sorry to hear that, good luck with sorting that out!

 

[Moose!]

Things will be smoother after the 16th, so I'm down to play after that? Like I said, I'm not that keen on the format changes, so please don't feel the need to wait around.

 

[Dago Wolfrider]

Hope things get smoothed out soon.

Same.

I agreeish, not the best oprion though. Has anyone directly contacted/pmed the others?

Someone should post a link to this part of the forum in the next devblog thread. There's plenty of recruits here to, well, recruit...
