I believe some people wanted to start a Mafia game. I haven't played before, but I would like to take part.

It works best with a lot of people (9 so far), and the rules don't take long to explain. Anyone interested?

The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

I'd probably be interested if I had any idea what this was about  :smirk
Can you give a quick explanation of the rules and/or goal? It'd probably ellicit a greater response.
The cake is a lie.

There are people out there who could explain it better than I can.

The best I can do is direct you to the Wikipedia page for Mafia/Werewolf/Assassin

I`ll play.  :D

DnD classes is kind of like art. You make lots of stuff that everyone loves but aint no fun to play. This one is like getting a nude pic of Britney Spears when she was hot above your bed.  Anyone can appreciate it. And it works as it should in practise, not just in theory. -Me to Strato regarding his Elemental

I played the "Werewolf" variant of this once! Count me in!

Edit: My vote goes to the "Cthuulhu worshippers" variant, by the way :wink

So there. Reminds me of playing "Detective", but works better than winking.

I can do It mechanically if you want a purists game (read zero fluff).  F11will give you a decent mechanics base (Assuming we actually have 9). Poke me if you need more information (mechanically).
