Here are some FfH-related forum games for those of you who haven't been keeping track. I thought that since several of these games are scattered on non-FfH sections of the site, a central list of them might be in order.

This list will be updated regularly to reflect the current status of the different games. (If I forget, poke me.)

Night of the Werewolves
Played in: Forum games section (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=154)

NotW games are reincarnations of the classic game Mafia (AKA Werewolf) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(game)), played here on the forums with a Fall from Heaven flavor and a varying number of extra special rules thrown in to complicate matters. For those who don't know, Werewolf is a game where part of a village's inhabitants are turned into werewolves who come out at night to kill people. In retaliation, the villagers choose one person from among themselves to be lynched each day. Of course, since the villagers don't actually know who the werewolves are, there's plenty of paranoia and finger-pointing to go around. Once there is an equal amount of villagers and werewolves, the werewolves can come out in the open to slaughter the villagers - otherwise, the villagers win when they lynch the last werewolf. (At least, that's how it goes in theory... Night of the Werewolves III included plenty of "+1 to side X for purposes of endgame strength determination" special items.)

Succession Games
Played in: Main FfH forum, Civ 4 Succession Games (http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=168) section

In a succession game, one player plays the game for a set amount of turns before saving and sending his saved game to the next player, who also plays the same amount of turns before sending it on. Simple, no?

Several succession games have been played so far. I have probably missed a couple - if so, do inform me.

Thanks, edited that in.

At least I'lll be co-writing it. Should be good practice. I'd like to get in a game of my own for number VII. See, Duin actually has a reason to visit the Malakim. :groucho:

Done. Got a fancy title for it, a plain "Night of the Werewolves" is boring? :)

If "Final Fantasy" can stay good up through 7 installments, so can NotW.

hahahahahahahahaha

Kael, how about you? Up for a week of paranoia?

Well, either way, there's an empty slot in NotW4 if anyone wants to be a village idiot.
NotW5 is half full, so if you want to join, you can be: the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker (yes, I did), the enchantress, the acolyte, the mayor, the mayor's wife, the page, the architect, the weaver, the midwife, the farm manager, the build instructor or the brewmaster.

Kael, how about you? Up for a week of paranoia?

No, thanks though. To busy to play unfortunatly. :(

Busy with the holidays.

I mean what?
yeah. We're working on fire nonstop...

Doesn't Kael keep you in some kind of cage, work monkey? :lol:

He can't cage Loki, silly. There's not enough of us to surround him.

Done. Got a fancy title for it, a plain "Night of the Werewolves" is boring? :)

All the good titles are taken anyway. :nya::crazyeye::yeah:

NotW5 is kicking it up a notch. With 30 characters, 3 of while are wolves and a guillotine (instead of a gallows), you can now live in fear and almost be certain you're massacring innocent people!

Hopefully you change the voting to maek it so many more are massacred--if any villager is suspected by at lest 20% of teh village, they die.
Or something like that.

Meaning that 5 people could die a day? No thanks ^^. I'm going to be using the original voting system (unless I change my mind).

Exactly. Anyone with a few friends can try to get rid of anyone they suspect. I mean if you're gonna be using a guillotine, then you mgiht as well use all of the French Revolution rules.

You mean Just slaughter everyon, until there is noone left? would make for an interesting game.

:lol: ! Ahhhh - hahahahaha. French Revolution Rules. Good one.

NotW 5 is coming up. Five villagers and two wolves remain. Either way it goes, things will be ending soon. Any last minute joiners for the upcoming game? We have a few slots open.

Just to clarify, Chand means five villagers and two wolves in NotW4.

Erm, yes. Well, actually, it'll most likely be three villagers and two wolves by the next morning.

We won't start the game till the list fills up, though.

I declare 'dibs' on NotW VIII!!! (post #5) [Edit: Sorry .. that is post #5 (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=4942209&postcount=5).]

The thread is under development. I hope to have it in its final (v1.0) form today or Jan 5th latest.

NotW VIII will not occur for some time. So I am ginning up my efforts to spin off a few new variants. There seems to be enough players to support two games. And if I don't start doing it, I never will do it. I know how I work ... or shirk ... as the sase may be.

So drop by at the link above if you are interested in the form.

Hehe, I'm afraid that having an UgLe game after my own will make it look bad...
Just kidding! I'll be waiting for it as eagerly as everyone else.

I doubt that. Everyone so far has come up with cool new angles and surprises people didn't see coming. Such as embedded white-colored text that appears only when quoted, to cite one example. ;)

I do have a few... novel ideas to try out. For one thing, I've given each and every character role a unique mechanic, that's 28 of them. Yes, even the wolves differ from each other in subtle ways. And that's all I'm going to say on the matter.
(I told myself that I wasn't going to say anything at all, but a little something to whet the appetite can't be too bad...)

Added NotW VIII to the first post.

NotW4's over, sign up for NotW5 is still up.

Sign up for Night of the Werewolves V — Fall of Luchuirp is over, the roster's full.

Updated the first post with NotW IV, V and VI statuses. VI now in sign-up.

Yup. I had a really crazy idea involving the Balseraphs, but with what I was thinking, it might not even fall under the NotW label.

Heh heh. My French revolution rules?

Naw... I'll keep most of it secret for now, but there will be some changes in both the role playing and the rules.

Night of the Werewolves V is up and running.

[party] Interested spectators are encouraged to come down and see how it (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=4973955#post4973955) plays out.

Last call for the Doppleganger Dungeon is nearing. Players who've been in a Night of the Werewolves game are getting first crack until Sunday night. Afterwards all remaining slots are open to newbies. 7 slots remain of 16.

They put Creatures. In our Ears! is on schedule to start in February, perhaps sooner. Signups are open. 21 slots of 26 remain open.

See the signature below for hotlinks.

Tavern Owner can't play anymore if anyone wants to start playing leftovers (of day 2).

Yay, me!, ME!

Added Brisingamen's NotW IX to the game list.

Unser's Doppleganger dungeon might be worthy of this page... with some change of names, it coud fit extremely well with FFH2

DD is quite cool, but I wouldn't classify it as an FFH game. Sure, it shares a lot of elements, but that's just because those are generic fantasy elements that FFH shares with a kazillion other works.

MAybe......

It is definitely not a FfH game. It's not based on the FfH mythos in any manner. I don't want to mislead anyone.

-Qes

Alright, I figure I might as well run sort of an informal poll on what I should prepare for NotW X.

Option 1:
The Republic
Civilization: Grigori
Players: ~24, +3 wolves
Description: The Grigori try to apply the same governmental structure to their towns as they do to their civilization as a whole. Three senators are chosen by a popular vote, as determined each evening. Citizens must try to determine which among the them will best serve the village in a leadership role. Senators must balance the competing needs of the village as a whole, the desires of their supporters, and their own hidden motives. Werewolves may try to make a grab for power, or they may just try to support senators that won't find them.

Option 2:
The Most Dangerous Game
Civilization: Balseraphs
Players: ~20, +4 wolves
Description: Perpentach's taskmasters search far and wide for participants in his latest gruesome amusement. This time he snaps up ~20 people from around Erebus and sets four werewolves among them. These people are divided into three groups. The prisoners choose freely for one among them to fall victim to Perpentach's latest method of execution, but the werewolves are forbidden from attacking anyone among the same group as the prisoner last executed.

Which one of these looks more interesting to you all? I'm having a real tough time deciding, myself. I know that both of the mechanics may run into trouble, but that's why I'm starting on them so early.

They Put Creatures. In Our Ears! ia taking signups, for what its worth. The links in my signature will get you to description. Startup will be in about two weeks. Not a thing to do with FfH thugh. :)

Isn't NotW7 "Dark Side of the Sun?"

Yeah, but "Game Signup Thread: Night of the Werewolves VII- Dark Side of the Sun" is too long a title.

I'd like to reserve Night of the Werewolves XI.

Added NotW X and XI to the list. The games are popular these days, ain't they?

Night of the Werewolves XI is going to be more like Day of the Werewolves I. Get ready for vampire werewolves!

I have to say I like option 2 chand.

Number 2 looks good

It seems that your ideas for #2 are more fully developed.

2 is good and i are waiting for a game whith calabin vampires replacing werewolfes, man that should be cool too...

Vampires wouldn't survive the day part of the turn cycle...

why????????

Because in the "normal" vampire miths, they die with Sun's light. But, if they are FfH's Vampires, then they would survive it...

Actually, they wouldn't. Lugus cursed vampires cause their first kill was one of his followers.

Actually, they would. =P

If I remenber correctly (well, maybe I don't remenber correcly...) the curse Lugus cast on them only weakens them, and not actually kills them... But I can be wrong.

But logically thge werewolfes will just kill folks in full or bloodmoon and they will not renamber anything after the night...

Hum ? In almost every werewolf mith I know of (and that includes FfH) the werewolfs do remenber what they did while in Crinus (transformed) form.

They don't remember their first night transformed.

That´s a detail =X

Well, not MY werewolfs at least. ;D

Dibs on NotW XII.

Dibs on NotW XII.

:lol: I find it so funny that you're not interested inplaying NotW, but you love to GM it!

So... care to give us a preview of what you're planning for XII?

I have 2 ideas for XI. Either werewolves in hell (lynching is just throwing people into a boiling pit of lava) or werewolves amongst vampires (lynching is throwing a guy into the sunshine, if he doesn't burn up he's shot with a harpoon)...

:lol: I find it so funny that you're not interested inplaying NotW, but you love to GM it!

:)

Nothing concrete yet, but I have vague ideas about taking a page off Burning Wheel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Wheel) and giving each character an interesting set of Beliefs and Instincts, as well as using its lifepaths to chronicle the stuff they've done earlier in their lives. Though that's not really a new mechanic, just a way to generate character backgrounds and motivations quickly.

I've also got thoughts about revamping/expanding the gold system a bit and do more with different factions. It might be that I'll change it into a spin-off game a la Unser, but it could also be that XII will just be Mafia with a couple of extra rules, as before. In any case, I'll observe how the gold and different families affect gameplay in NotW VI and only give XII more thought when I've seen how well the concepts worked out in this one.

I have 2 ideas for XI. Either werewolves in hell (lynching is just throwing people into a boiling pit of lava) or werewolves amongst vampires (lynching is throwing a guy into the sunshine, if he doesn't burn up he's shot with a harpoon)...

Why exactly would they shoot someone with a harpoon if they turned out to not be a vampire? And why wouldn't they all just go stand in the sunshine? Seems like a simple impaling with a wooden stake would do the trick just as well...

i'm trying to give special powers to everyone, but it gets a little hard after the 20th. does anybody have suggestions?

Well, number 7 is going to be run next, so I suppose you can look there for any ideas, if you want to.

I'll post a list of all the special abilities and items used in NotW VI once it ends.

Xuenay, you should have called this the NOTW discussion thread

Sure, go ahead. :)

of course with a few modifiacations, and proper annotation;)

Bump. Number 6 is sure heating up, isn't it?

BTW, thomas.berubeg, RfMK will probably go for a few more months, until I get a picture of whenever NotW XIII is due to begin.

Assigned NotW XIII to Splime.

Damn you Splime. The number Thirteen belongs to me. :aargh:

Well, sign me up for Game #14. The Theme:

Design Your Own Character.

You design your character. You send the description to the GM. The GM writes up the setting. The GM decides how the various characters will mesh (rivalries, freindships, etc.) You mail the GM $100. The GM starts the game.

We will figure out some charactrer creation guidelines when the time nears, but that is the concept, fairly stolen, and therefore, I call dibs!

You can't call dibs when I invented the idea... :rolleyes: :mischief: Of course, no one running NotW IX through XII can steal the idea before you.

Anyway, the NotW I'm designing has some minor elements of that, but still has a framework. Actually, it'll still be fairly rigid.

Oh, and a note to all -- I'm using the Ljosalfar elves in my story, so I ask those who have yet to think of stories to please avoid the Ljosalfar. Thanks! ;)

Heh, hadn't thought about the implications of 13... :evil:

I'll let you use your own idea, Splime, if I can have #13. :D

You can have 13 -- but only if I move down the line to 12... hehehehehehehehehehehehe. :D

Seriously though, I'm only using the fact that you can name a type of person to be. Nothing else. I've always thought that the key to immersion in these things is having players create the world they play in.

And Unser, you get 13 only if there's a problem which requires my game to move down to #12. Otherwise, it's not happening.

[TAB]Night of the Werewolves XI — In Uniform
The game will be divided into 2 different bases at war (meaning 2 separate threads). Every cycle will contain 2 phases, the daytime and a skirmish. Battles will only have casualties on occasion. Each base will have spies in the opposing base, werewolves amongst themselves and an execution every day. There will be 40 roles (20 for each side) with ranks ranging from private to first sergeant and a choice between a magic adept character and a plain foot-soldier.

Tell me what you think.

Sounds complicated, but could be fun. Don't see where the werewolves would come into it though...

They'd kill you in the night... what's your problem?

A small correction, instead of 'In Uniform,' the name of NotW11 will be 'In Armour.' This was decision was based on the fact that plate armour isn't truly a uniform.

Cool, but it MUST to be the Bannor civ!

I was thinking more towards Kuriotates against barbarians.

Sounds like a great idea

But mercurians WS Hyborem?

Not in this game, sorry.

40 might be a bit much, though the size of our player pool may have expanded sufficiently by the time that XI starts.

Heh, 40 is just the minimum. I'm willing to take any even number of players over 40 really.

This might be a fun game, but if you ask me, it is not a mafia variant. I'd say you should run this one outside the NotW series.

This will, of course, drop Game #13 into my lap, where it rightfully belongs.

What makes it so? There are wolves, there are executions and all of the characters will be based on FfH. Why can't it be NotW11?

Because Unser wants 13...

Well, Unser can go to hell! In fact, that's where you'll be playing out NotW11.

*****Night of the Werewolves XI — In Uniform
The game will be divided into 2 different bases at war (meaning 2 separate threads). Every cycle will contain 2 phases, the daytime and a skirmish. Battles will only have casualties on occasion. Each base will have spies in the opposing base, werewolves amongst themselves and an execution every day. There will be 40 roles (20 for each side) with ranks ranging from private to first sergeant and a choice between a magic adept character and a plain foot-soldier.

Tell me what you think.

Would the players be under the honour system not to look in the other team's thread? Because all it takes is one misclick and the whole thing's ruined...

An' I don't know much, if anything, about FfH, but I have decided I like the Kuriotates. So that's good. :goodjob:

I was chatting with Jono about this the other day, and he said that the teams would be able to freely look in each others' threads, so long as they don't post. Not sure if he'll change that or not.

I think there have been succession games with several teams, and they used such 'honour systems'. Not sure how this would work with the scheming Werewolves crowd though. :devil:

For IX, i'm thinking of doing something based on "honor". such as the more honor you have, the more votes you get. the only way i can think of getting honor, though, is catching werewolves, which would evidently disadvadvantage the werewolves. any ideas.
i am so horribly behind on making the characters:cry: and the story, and the rules.anyway, what gods would the hippus have?

I imagine them most as paganistic, totemic people...

They have Tali, the Goddess of Air.

but would there be a "priest" of sorts

Maybe special abilities could grant honor too. Some items or abilities could give honor to the holder, and other abilities could grant honor to others. That's one idea anyway.

yes, but you'd have to keep some of the abilities secret if you don't want to be killed...how do i give the honor so it doesn't show.

Via PM? Would that work?

yes, but i would stilll be showing how much honor everybody gets on the public thread...i guess i could just invent a reason (ha, ha, i'm past a quarter of a hundred posts:king:)

Jono's NotW XI (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=213536) is taking sign-ups, though it probably won't start in a good while yet.

And we're still waiting for lazy Unser's signup sheet. :lol:

i know, what's he doing??? he's angry about 13, but he still hasn't posted VIII...slacker ;)

Slacker? No. He made NotW3 in 4 days and I'm pretty sure it can be called the best so far.

To be fair, it was based largely around Bad Player's design for NotW II. Not to belittle Unser's AWESUM GMING SKILLZ though.

i don't know, i didn't play NOTW 3:dunno:

Neither did I, but I was lurking. :shifty:

Night of the Werewolves III. Run by Unser Giftzwerg. 16 villagers, 3 werewolves. Human victory with eleven survivors.

Haha those wolves were not much good at hiding :lol: The villagers caught one every day!

Did anybody save a download of that NOTW3?

It should make for some good reading!

Cool- Thanks!

So the threads still exist when they aren't listed?

There's more than one page in the Forum Games board.

For some reason, the forum game's limit is set at 1 month... you have to go to the top of the page and change the one month to whatever...

there's still no update on when the signup for either/both NOTW VIII and NOTW X?

Well, Unser's just being slow on VIII, but XI only came up to get signups from 40 people, so X has an excuse for waiting.

Hehehe! We may never get to NotW VIII! :evil:

*sings* It's the end of the world as we know it, it's the end of the world as we know it, it's the end of CFC as we know it, and I feel fine...

:mischief:

You know, Unser'll get his NotW13 if he drops out as the host of NotW8 (which might just happen).

well he'd better do VIII as i don't have all the character things yet

And in case you don't realise it, NotW VII is finito, with a townspeople victory. Roll on VIII! :D

I'll take 15. Or maybe 14 if Unser wants to share 13 with Splime. :lol:

God damn it, I was certain I had reserved 15...
Okay, I'm reserving NotW18 then.

And, uuh, you sure you want 18 and and not 16? :confused:

I need some sort of pattern. I was going for 5/10/15/20/25, but Chand screwed that up (twice!!!). The pattern is now 5/11/18/26/35.

I'd like to reserve all of those...

Burn her!

Aha! I just had a veritable orgasm of inspiration! X is going to use a similar race-against-time mechanic like Unser's TPC.IOE!, though of course I'm going to put plenty of my own spin on it. Now I just need to think up a catchy meme that will work as a subtitle without making it too light-hearted.

Also, Night of the Werewolves 10 will, as of this post, be referred to as X.

:hmm: Actually, I take that back. I might have another mechanic I'd like to try. Amurites, anyone?

would that mean we'd all be mages:bounce: ...or at least magic resistant

Yeah... if we were all military units o.O

Argh, brainstorming is so tough. I had many of VII's features planned even before I asked for the 7th slot, but now I'm having to innovate in a timeframe. Much more difficult.

What are you talking about you have at least 2 months.

Of course, it's always better to be prepared :)

I had the signup thread for VII ready before V started. The game itself was in a playable state between V and VI. I feel like I just got shoved off an airplane with some silk worms and a sewing needle.

Oh, and I just realized that I got sig'd! :thumbsup:

List of titile:
Night of the Werewolves V — Fall of the Luchuirp
Night of the Werewolves XI — The Dragon at the Gates of Dawn
Night of the Werewolves XVIII — A Tab in the Ocean
Night of the Werewolves XXVI — In the Court of the Crimson King
Night of the Werewolves XXXV — A Classic

Actually, "In the Court of the Crimson King" will come before "A Tab in the Ocean."

You gonna put a link to a dl of the song?

Nope, progressive rock (along with other stuff) is just really inspiring.

Updated the games listing on the first page. In addition to giving Jono the games he requested, I reserved NotW XVI for myself.

Also, NotW XII is now officially known as

Night of the Werewolves XII - The Madness of the Calabim Court

The balance of a Calabim court is a fragile one, numerous ancient blood feuds being kept in check by constantly shifting alliances and a balance of fear. Even as the overcrowded masses of slaves struggle for their daily survival in the city below, their inhuman lords and ladies are engaged in a struggle of their own - one of power and dominance, one of diplomacy and one of backstabbing. Each of the city's rulers is old beyond comprehension, and more powerful than any bare mortal could begin to understand.

Then one night, when the moon is full on the sky, one of the noble families making up the court begins their experiments intended to make them even stronger. To receive the power of the werewolves, mighty enough to tear apart anyone getting in their way.

Yet they are careless, and their plan is soon found out. When it is revealed, all the members of the family are sought out and slain, every part of their holdings burnt to the ground. All of their slaves are killed as well, burnt alive in the same fires that destroy the family holdings. The werewolf curse is too powerful, too unpredictable, to be allowed to anyone. It must be extinguished.

But it is too late. Even in the midst of all the destruction, a couple of other court members receive the curse themselves. It does not take long for this to become apparent - and when it does, the different factions of the court are just as likely to use the nightly lynchings to destroy their enemies than to get rid of the wolves.

Get ready for it... whenever it is that NotWs VIII - XI have finished.

Did I screw both Unser and you by taking 18?

Heh. Nah for my part, dunno about Unser. I don't really have a thing for regular patterns in the way of NotW games.

Well, either way, blame Chand ;).

:hatsoff: .

I'm going to kill you...

unser hasn't given any signs of life recently, has he? if he doesn't show up soon, i'll start IX - as soon as i finish the Characters. Probably Wed. or Thurs.

You mean, you'll start VII...

I don't know what it is, Jono, but your posts have been confusing me recently :confused: sorry... wouldn't she be doing NOTWVIII, if she takes unser's spot?

That's what I meant... or was it? :crazyeye:

I hope so... :D;)

Okay, yeah, that's what I meant. You're ruining all the fun, man.

It's on purpose... i feel a need to kill anything beautiful... (expecially jokes)

and spelling;)

What about taking a NOTW break in the summer?

Don't think so...

gandhi_rules: NO! That's when I actually have some time to run NotW.

Nah :sad: Don't count on me then... My summer is full whith training camps...

I think my next one may be called...

Night of the Werewolves X - False Dawn

Now let's use some simple algebra to prove that X=11.

There is an algorithm that can prove that. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=5219657&postcount=6)

Greatest mathematician ever!

I'd like to try hosting a game. I'll take NotW XVII for now, but that's a long ways down the line so it may change. We'll see.

Oh, and the signup thread for X will be coming up soon. Maybe even tonight.

I don't think I can commit to running XI, I'll just host XV is that's okay with Chand. Night of the Werewolves XV — A Tab in the Ocean, will be divided into 2, but each side will be in the middle of sea, in battle.

^^do you mean that NotW XI will become XV?

Not exactly. As much as I liked the idea of the battlefield and the dragons, I just think more could be done with ships.

Then why not start up a new signup with naval-themed characters? There's plenty of time, and it doesn't have to have 40 players. If you start the signup by the time X starts, there should be plenty of time for the slots to get filled.

Starting Tuesday there's a long chain of strikes, I'll start writing then, signup'll be up by the 20th.

Marked XI as cancelled and adjusted the game numbers of the other NotWs accordingly.

'Tis a shame. I had a sig joke planned, too.

NotW XI: Archers do it from 300 yards

does that mean unser won't get 13 - he would have if we'd just skipped over 8 :lol:

OK, so I guess I'm number XII. We'll have to see how the timing works out there... It's possible I may end up having to push it back a bit. But we'll have to wait until we get closer.

does that mean unser won't get 13 - he would have if we'd just skipped over 8 :lol:
Going to have to ask, what the hell made you mark the eighth game 'IX?'

Xuenay, what happened to my NotW15?

Going to have to ask, what the hell made you mark the eighth game 'IX?'

i had signups for NOTWIX and it would have mixed people up if i'd put up VIII for the actual game

Xuenay, what happened to my NotW15?

Um. *looks back* Did Chandrasekhar say you could have it?

It no longer matter as Chandrasekhar went down to 14, but yes.

i had signups for NOTWIX and it would have mixed people up if i'd put up VIII for the actual game

Yup, I'm still going to call the ninth game X if Unser doesn't show up. Also, IX as a name all by itself doesn't look as cool.

It no longer matter as Chandrasekhar went down to 14, but yes.

Yeah, 14 was what I was referring to, since (14/15) was the one I saw you having a claim on before the numbers got bumped down.

Updated list of games:
Night of the Werewolves V — Fall of the Luchuirp
Night of the Werewolves XV — A Tab in the Ocean
Night of the Werewolves XXV — In the Court of the Crimson King
Night of the Werewolves XXXV — The Dragon at the Gates of Dawn
Night of the Werewolves XLV — A Classic

Hey, can I sign up to GM NOTW XVII?

Nero's fire's game added to the list.

And I better get this one cleared up before I edit the designation for either XIV or XV...

Night of the Werewolves XV — A Tab in the Ocean

So you don't really want Chandra's XIV, you want my XV? :p

OK, I have a name for NotW XII: Apocalypse in the Ljosalfar Village.

I'm setting up character types now...

^^ when do you think will be the sign ups (ignoring the fact that half your game is already reserved :p)

What?! When did this happen? I have been checking the UGLI forums now, and any threads that pop up, when did Splime pull together a sign up sheet?

Most RFMK players reserved.

Splime's attempting to rope in new players by posting about it in the wrong thread. I call it 'pulling an AbNES'.

Wow splime that'll me interesting if you accept my character, a golem crafter among the elves :)

how about everyone puts thier name before the game, as well as a number starting at 1(to make it more identifiable)

"Night of the Werewolves DCLXVI - Tonight, we dine in HELL! Run by Hyborem. Under development."

:hmm:

If there is popular enough demand, I'll add enough room for other players.

Sign-ups will come up by the end of NotW X.

Also, special sign-ups are now available to anyone who has previously hosted a NotW game. Basically, we are forest elves.

To sign-up, please PM the character you'd like to be (make it up please). Then, I may ask for a number for randomization purposes. I'm asking NotW GMs because they'd provide good ideas. Then, the next stage would be to open up full sign-ups soon.

Edit: That means that out of the regular NotW GMs and players who don't play RfMK, Unser, Chandrasekhar, and Xuenay can make up characters, reserving a slot.

I would like to be in your game, Splime, if you have room!

Nero's fire's game added to the list.

And I better get this one cleared up before I edit the designation for either XIV or XV...



So you don't really want Chandra's XIV, you want my XV? :p

What I really wanted is for you to understand that what you have is actually XIV.

EDIT1: Think about it like this, instead of cancelling NotW11 I let a few GMs drop ahead of me.
EDIT2: Or, you could consider skipping 11 as you did skip 8.

cvlowe: You can join now I guess. However, I'm not running the regular reserve sign-ups just yet, so keep quiet about it. Just PM me with the sort of character you'd like to be. Remember that we are the Ljosalfar, though outsiders are permitted.

You got mine in ROTMK?

Ah... I suppose I have plenty of time to decide what sort of character I'd like.

gandhi: Yes. You're the Ranger.

Soon, I'll set up the "Splime Games Homepage" for all NotW XII related things, along with RfMK.

think you'll be hosting RfMK again soon, SPlime :p
