Looks like I will be running an SE++ phalla in the near future and I need a cohost/writer. I will do all the logistics, but I need someone to talk over mechanics, because I am making significant changes to what I had planned for last year, and I need someone better at telling stories than me. This will be a full main. @lonelyahava, do you mind if I use the materials you created last year?

I will let the signups sit in SE++ for a day before linking here to give some newblood a chance to sign up. Think of this like a recruitment drive.
Also, if anyone is too busy to play phalla in the vicinity of early November and would not mind taking a look at some mechanics, I think I have only a couple things I want to check on.
Update on my non-Phalla experiment: I have the route and character stuff finished! And I have just now fully finished the first leg. Nine more legs to go. Google maps makes this insanity possible.
EDIT: Leg two finished! Goal is to maaaaaaaaybe get this up so I can run it without a Thanksgiving break, but I'd have to be done by like... Tuesday. Hmmmm.
EDIT2: Flights in Africa are hard to find! Granted, I used a relatively obscure country for one leg which is not making things easier.

Make it up. It's not like people are going to be fact checking you each step of the way until facts are important. Kinda like being a politician.

Ebum, Thanksgiving happened like three weeks ago...

Good morning, Phallateers. You are cordially invited to a Christmas party in SE++. Bring your pitchforks.
Digital Devil Phalla: Rebirth has ended with a Knights of the Heavenly City (village faction) victory! Also, regarding my place on the signup list (which doesn't really hold much meaning these days, but whatever), I'm planning on going with a different game than .phalla. Further details will be released once I'm ready to run the game.
A long time ago, two guys (visiblehowl and devoutlyapathetic) ran a game where everyone had a power of sorts and your role/power was based upon an active player (Phalla phalla). Except MrB's game, I haven't played recently and don't really know the players well. The game itself would be more a standard phalla, unlike the faction games I have run in the past. Uninformed village, mafia, maybe a neutral-type group and a serial killer or two. No conversions because I hate conversions.
Would anyone be interested in helping me with running such a game? I can put the powers and such together, but I wouldn't have any idea whose name to attach them to or how to create powers for some of the players. I'd be looking at maybe 40 players, with the option of going to 50.
I had sort of planned on doing one annually in January, but then I got this TAR idea which has taken far too much of my time. Plus it prevents me from playing in them, which I assuredly would.

Yeah, I had a weird idea involving ghosts I have been prevented by circumstance from developing into anything useful, unfortunately.
If you've got mechanics awaiting a concept, or someone wants help with fluff and whatnot, I've got a couple different sets of notes.
Can we still use dead threads? I'm debating having a dead thread with the ability to still participate in the game. So if you get killed early, you can still play.
I'm guessing it'll have to be proboards or something?

Probably best to do a proboard. Much less likely to have living players see information they shouldn't that way.

Hey guys, I'm checking in here, my game's not ready, but I do have an interesting proposal, lifted from a different forum that my friend plays mafia on.
I don't have time to host a game right now, but this one would be really fun, and it could easily be small, vanilla role game for people who wanted something a bit different.
I thus humbly propose: "Drawfia", the mafia game where all communication is done through illustration, instead of that old tired trope of playing through words. Ha!
So this is my call to action. Someone host Drawfia. It won't be very time-consuming to host, and I'm sure it will be great fun for everyone who wants to try it out.
Was going to make this comment earlier, but was afraid it might reveal too much with the SE phalla.
A dead proboard would probably be best, instead of a dead thread. So much easier to keep information compartmentalized. I do suggest you take a look at the SE game the Baidol hosted, particularly how things panned out with his dead board before proceeding. You might find that your dead player stuff should avoid certain things.
I might be interested in helping Sir Fabulous host his phalla. My main concern is that I'm going to be out of town on the 25 and 26. I also might not be too responsive on the 27 of this month (long drives suck!).
We could always have someone run a more basic phalla game where you can only post votes.
I am working on a game right now similar to what I've mentioned above. I'm going to pull roles from previous games I remember and creating some new ones in a large, everyone has some form of ability game with a village, mafia, SK or two and a third faction (Neutral for lack of a better term). Winner takes all!
Is it reasonable to think I can get 40 people to sign up for a game?
I think it's reasonable, but be prepared to do a little legwork. As a host trying to get a game filled, I will reach out to people after ~24 hours. I usually send a PM letting them know that sign-ups are ready and I would love to have them play.
It's not quite as efficient as having Egos @ 40 people, but for a little bit of effort it generally gets good results.

I mean, sure. I honestly don't remember in the slightest, so that must mean I'm not too invested. Go for it. (what was it?)

Let me think on this. If it's been done twice this year, I can look into something else then.

..and now i want to try a see what kind of trainwreck a mechanics all-star game would be.
