I am totally down for whatever craziness Venari is.
I am totally down for whatever craziness Venari is.
It's mafia with the psychological horror dialled up to 11. Rip once enlightened us on the name, it's Latin for 'hunter' or 'the hunted', something like that.
https://forums.rajah.com/showthread....ghlight=venari The last completed game, I think.
I only signed up for one Venari, was that doctor/zombie game that Rip wasn’t able to complete.
Kinda like dipping the toe in the ocean for jellyfish but couldn’t get in the water properly.
Talked about a mth game with Badger in the Big Bro thread and I spent the afternoon putting it together.
I will go after everyone else has gone. Looking forward to playing a few but pretty much jumped this to the front of my to do list.
Excellent!Originally Posted by Jarrod1983
It's good. Sorta like my Turtle game with a mystery weekend party theme. mth secretly invites us all for a live mafia game with bad intentions.
Hey folks.
I finally finished everything with my game. When Jarrod's game concludes I will toss the signups/thread for my game up. It will be capped at 24 players. I know some people have said they wanted to take a break, so feel free to if you desire. I am pretty sure we can fill up to the 24 regardless. Don't feel obligated to play if you need the mental break.
What theme did you end up choosing?
Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar: Legend of Korra will be the theme. No knowledge of either required...for the most part.
Animated versions I would hope. I’ve never heard good things about the live action
The animated versions, yes. Though Netflix is apparently making a live action Avatar set to premier....sometime.
Bold considering how panned the movie was
Loved both of those series. I will definitely be interested in playing
What's got 2 thumbs and tested positive for Covid...
This guy
Oof. That sucks. Hopefully its quick and mild!What's got 2 thumbs and tested positive for Covid...
Not gonna lie, I am looking forward to a mental break for a while after so opting out now ahead of time.
Good luck bud!
Ouch. That sucks. Hope it is a mild case. Take it easyWhat's got 2 thumbs and tested positive for Covid...
Love to see some of the new players take a shot at some games too.
You don't have to be overcomplex. I think my first one was 20 people. Over in 2 weeks.
And psych and grim gave me advice on my game set-up, and kinda were there as observers for questions. My first draft was out of balance, so I had to power up scum. Who won a very close game.
Running really helped my play, as it kinda opened my eyes to what people were doing with when I already had the roles.
this isn't mafia, but thinking about doing fiction fight.
Thought maybe some of the new folks would enjoy that.
Going to admit that the thought has crossed my mind and would like to maybe run a game to give it a go. I wouldn't know where to begin so would need to help getting off the ground. However between trying to get stuff done around the house for inspections to try to buy it soon and then starting back doing one or two college classes in the fall I won't be able to really be able to run one right away anyway. Maybe start working on one to run after the fall since I could just do a bit here and there.
Maybe some people could share stuff they have done before and how they did it so I can see the mechanics of it before I make a final decision on running one or not.
yeah. you should give it a run this fall.
I can send you some sheets. and jarrod has his.
And i'll just send it now, so i don't send you a game sheet for an active game.
not like I would do that.....
Yes please no active games. No modkills.
Speaking of games, let me know when yall want to do another one. I know people would like breaks because this game is mentally taxing so I'd rather not just throw up signups and force people to play.
My game is ready whenever everyone wants to do another.
My first game I had someone review the setup who wasn't going to play. I still do that from time to time or if that person will play, as extremely generic questions.Yes please no active games. No modkills.
I have absolutely no idea what to expect from running a game here because I've never made/balanced one around this style so I'm excited to see how well or poorly it goes and adjust from there.
I would say you could start up whenever. I honestly figure it always takes a bit to get sign ups done anyway. Or if you want you could let the smaller game finish up first or get close to finishing first. Either way is a bit of a break for me. But that is just me. Not sure about others.
The only reason I like a small break between is so I have a day or 2 to add the last game to the MASTER LIST. I have really been slacking lately though. I think I have like 3 or 4 to add right now.
@kdestiny @mth @MTR @Tyson @TimeSplitter @Rip and at whoever else I missed….
I received this from Cragzman in regards to Shirty/Tim’s funeral arrangements.
Hey Jon,
Just some info on Tims funeral for tomorrow 27th July at 12pm british time. There will be a live stream online so you can watch it if you wish. Also will be recorded so it can be watched later.
For those that cant make it to Tim Lloyd funeral. We have a link where you can watch live or at a later date. Courtesy of Joseph Lloyd . Thankyou!

Thanks. I hadn't checked his facebook page in a while to see if they had ever made arrangements. Glad they are doing a stream. That is about the time I try to get up in the morning so I will probably watch it later.
Damn allergies
I do love the MASTER LIST
There should be a resurrection star.
Video killed the resurrection star.
oh ah oh oh oh
You with the most in a single game most probably or at least up there.
In my mind and in my carrrr!
Yeah.
I made the trip down, I’m clearly allergic to Southern air or something
I am glad you got to go. I haven't watched the service yet. I am going to try to do that later today.
Couldn’t not mate, I’ve been meaning to go down for years but between Tim’s health, my health and the world dealing with Covid it just never happened, no way I was going to miss it.
Going to make an effort to meet more of the friends I’ve made on here over the years, it’ll not be easy, especially considering we’re all over the globe, but I’d like to try. This week has shown that there’s no good reason to put stuff off
I didn't know him well, but my best thoughts to those of you who did.
Ripper, we would love to have you for a Rumble meet. I think you'd do very well in Texas.
Well my door is open if you ever come across to the US. Ask Gangers.
Yeah I’d love to get over there, problem is it’s a bloody big place and you lot are scattered about quite a lot, not sure it’d go down too well if I left the Mrs and kids for a few months
If any of you lot ever get over here let me know, I’m happy to put you up.
As for the English lads I was talking to Cragz at the wake and we agreed we’d have to organise something to get all of us together, not worth having the regrets and there’s none of us getting any younger
Yeah kind of spread out. Which is why even most of us have not met. That is why you come over for something like the Rumble where some of us are getting together.
Gangers and his friends were over here for like months but they were single and young. They zigzagged the country. I think they only met up with me and JoJo though.
With @Badger flying across the pond this year, there's never been a better time
Still got the three lads at home though, and the Mrs is now in huge demand as a keynote speaker and just got a deal for her first book so the next couple of years are out
We’re dressing as DX right?
Covid sucks...
yes, obviously.
Yup
Covid sucks...
I ended up relying on Dazz for directions as you got plague.
Dazz…
That is both amazing and terrifying!Yup
I ended up relying on Dazz for directions as you got plague.
Dazz…
Hope you enjoyed your stay in our pokey little town.
Stayed in the Crown on Tuesday, ate there then watched the football in the top bar, not a bad pint of Guinness.
Walked back from the Running Horse then went to the Thai place n the market, wasn’t bad but not great, wandered down to ‘spoons the back to the crown.
Mooched around the market today, got the Mrs some seafood then took our time driving home.
Mrs has now decided we’re going to Blackpool on Saturday for a couple of nights for middle sons birthday, I’m actually sick of driving at this point
Watched the service for Tim today. Lovely service.
Whomever wished to go after in the games should go before me. I am going to take a bit of a break from Mafia at the end of the current game and can't fathom having to run a game at this time.
I have it saved so I can queue up sometime later and see how y'all do.
Disappointed. I am really looking forward to this set-up
But understand.
Mazer busting out some Alfred Lord Tennyson in kingmaker. Colour me impressed.
Delivered just like Fresh Prince Geoffrey:

We will see what happens once this ends honestly. I am mentally exhausted, but I may be able to do the game since I won't have to analyze other people
Where's the next signup? GOGOGO
I will have it up today sometime. I need to fix some roles.
And I have three interviews back to back today. So, soon(tm)
You are my audience for all these.
Although I still think my apex moment was citing Ozymandias for virms. I felt good about that one.
I'm back and ready to go for the next game.
Nice
I have another game idea that is mostly ready because it relies on all of you to participate
On the mod order note, think Psycho and his Rugrats game is next. I’ll do my Mafia Kart game after that then back to you Void. Although if you have something else ready to go before then a second time quicker then people probably won’t object you doing it consecutively.
You can slid me in somewhere after everyone has gone. I was thinking mth Hates Mafia but since Halloween is looming in a couple months I might pull the trigger on Ghostbusters battling Samhein.
I'll get sign-ups for my game up closer to/after Avatar ends, but in case anyone missed it from dead chat, Rugrats has been shelved for a
MYSTERY THEME
WHHHAAAATTTTT?
Hamilton Mafia's intro definitely includes the lines
"So let me spell out this game"
And
"You want Kitten keep shittin' on us endlessly?"
May God and Lin Manuel Miranda forgive me.
Awesome. Been too long since a Psycho game either way!
Smallest hint:
I hope y'all like comics
like Gallager and Carrot top?
Gallager Mafia. He's the scum and everyone else gets to be a fruit to be smashed.
Yes. Do it
must include John Pinette. "I say Nay Nay"
It's actually based on Jamie Foxx's I Might Need Security
He is a trip. I enjoy his routines.
I kind of hope it's sunday morning comics based.
We could have Far Side, Calvin & Hobbes, Peanuts....... Marmaduke, Family Circus........Garfield......Cathy.
What is Cathy?
A comic I used to read growing up like the rest of those he mentioned.
Sounds made-up to me.
OK on a quick Google I now know who you mean.
I'll tell you one thing.....She DID NOT have good luck in romance. And hilarity ensued.
For those that have run games in the past. Are you willing to send and share with me games you have run so I can see how you put things together? I can't run a game until after I am done with my fall classes but I want to look and work on things during the course of the fall. I can share my email or whatever to make it easier.

I'm more than happy to share as I'm sure pretty much every other host is
Pretty much all the other hosts. Except for Badger. He's very secretive.
Colonel Badger’s secret recipe!
Truthfully though my mod notes are generally not that detailed and a bit on the lazy side. Just kinda choose roles and match them up to characters to balance them but don’t really note down why they are balanced. Keep that in my head.
Otherwise would share but MTR’s probably better asking one of you other guys.
I sent you something MTR.
Another vague and most likely misleading hint:
Someone's getting close
?
Maybe not Little Plum these days:
Marshall Bravestarr mafia.
Finally.
If he does this guy, he needs to write-in Topanga.?
Just Because.
They were challenged to a jousting duel via gloves?
In canada we still have dueling rights
I'm not exactly sure if this is a preferred comic of his, but I get the feeling @Rip will love the theme
