Mafot-chat and maniac-chat.

A. I understand how it sounds.

Splicers communicate with splicers, and the Forgotten with the Forgotten. Not splicers with the Forgotten.

I don't know why I'm doing this, but for some reason I remembered that in Mafia I liked being the GM the most, and a setting just sort of came to me. I'm unlikely to actually run it; I just threw this together purely out of love for the craft and because the idea excited me.



Bruce Wayne
Billionaire, playboy, owner of the giant corporation "Wayne Enterprises". He is also the Dark Knight of Gotham, a genius detective and the scourge of the criminal underworld.

 - Knows Richard, can communicate with him. If Richard is killed, learns the killer's username.
 - Protection from the first attack.
Ultimate Dimension Door:
 - Receives the full solution to a clue from the GM.
Night Action:
 - Protection.
 - Status check.
Aggressive



Richard Grayson
A hereditary circus performer whose parents tragically died in an "accident." He was adopted by Bruce Wayne.

Crossing paths - one player goes to another, or both go to the same target.

The general atmosphere of the game is semi-detective, hence lots of Night Actions with clues and surveillance, hence the town consists of police and sympathizers, and that's also why I picked the Riddler for the mafia team as the odd one out. For the second maniac I wanted to make Clayface, Scarecrow or Mad Hatter, but I decided not to change my habits. As you may remember, I like making two maniacs: one all sneaky and cunning, the other just going around and eliminating everyone. The role of the "cunning" maniac was taken by Catwoman, so I took Croc. Although for the sake of the atmosphere, it could be changed. Then again, it's not like anyone is going to play this.
