Assassins sounds great

You know, I've got a good idea for a Mafia/Assassin's storyline [although I probably shouldn't GM for my first ever game]

Basically, the idea is to set the game in a Dungeons and Dragons Style setting (people are characters and at the beginning pick their race, alignment, and their character class)

everyone is trapped in a cave-in after a draconic attack and are wandering around in the underdark.

I also run another character called the seer.

(The seer may be the mafia, but he also provides vital answers to questions and can see the future. However, he was hit on the head in a rockslide so his prophecies have been a bit messed up and vague.)

And basically, the game would be run like a Mystery/RPG

Assassins is a good alternative.

And what's Mafia-ish about it?

I initially chose the name because it was close to "Mafia", but since there's support for "Assassins", I suppose we'll go with that.

Expect a sign-up thread sometime throughout the day tomorrow.

I wonder if people will create DLs to play both.

Nah, if you create a DL you can play twice in one game.

The killings aren't random! The mafia has to choose the targets of each hit, and it is far more sensible to kill off the people who are closer to suspecting you than the others, who will just jump on the docpiles regardless of what happense. Of course, the fewer people remaining, the more chance everyone has of ending up under a docpile, but then everyone's playing the same game, and you're lucky if you win. If you go about it systematically, then you'll have a better chance of working out who the mafia is and then making a successful accusation, but you also leave yourself open to assassination.
It may be weird, the way that the victims are chosen, but it is not random. Well, not unless your mafia is an idiot.

Well personally, if I were the townspeople, I would start suspecting something if everyone who voted for DarkCloud started mysteriously dying I would be a bit more covert... (won't reveal my full strategy here, however)

I think the best strategy for mafia is to choose their victims randomly.

But it's more fun to carefully select the victims


Like the game where I was the mafia and Guynemer was my brother, I chose to kill him, knowing that the clues would point towards me... and the fun I had afterwards with all those people getting lost in the clues

Well, you can make a story out of it if you choose who you're going to kill...

frankly, I hope that Assassins has a lot of roleplaying and backstabbing going on!

It is? I don't see it- I thought Zopperoni would start it?

Well, hopefully the players will roleplay as much as the grand storymaster plays that might give him even more material to work with- they could create stories in the background!

Well, if everyone roleplays then the clues should be even more obvious because we can all drop info about ourselves.

Particularly because you changed one of those clues to incriminate the poor cooks.
