You're just not capable of taking a joke about yourself!

No, I got the joke, and I understand Plesen. I would have done the same in his place, so he did a good job. But there are still some nuances that I tried to explain on Skype, as a result of which I asked him to rewrite the description a bit. And he didn't rewrite it, the scoundrel.

I don't understand who Lady Darrosh and the Black Knight are. Actually, it's already happened, even if not all the roles were HoMMers, but Rina was there...

Wrote it and it clicked. Drako cat?

Apparently, that's the case. And the Black Knight's nickname is clear if you read the description, but I didn't understand the role's name.

Still haven't understood the point about the Knight.

Nebok too.

Logically, I assumed it was him (he wasn't mentioned), but I didn't recognize him from the description...

Well, he does spend the night there. x)

Omega is not aware.

Only Heaven knows how to spend the night among its enemies.

Omega is unaware.

True.

I've written my own setting. It took up a huge amount of my time, but I'm proud of how it turned out in the end.

I thought it wouldn't be very good to have too many roles, so I ended up taking a smaller number of characters, but in return, I added a fair amount of HD and/or traits to each role.

I also tried to make the different maniacs distinct in terms of playstyle. For example, the first one is better suited for a thoughtful "defensive" game, while the second is capable of using the full potential of their abilities to shift the course of the game in their favor in the very first nights, but at the cost of having absolutely no defense against others.

ATTENTION, A LOT OF TEXT! Full-on graphomania! The descriptions of some characters reach 500 words, and the setting itself takes up a couple of posts. This is all because I tried to make the setting in such a way that players wouldn't feel like they are playing as blank slates with primitive personalities. No, every character here is an individual with their own story, their own goals, and their own personality. I hope you will connect with your heroes when you play.

Questions about mechanics and criticism of the balance are welcome.

As for the timing, again, I'm free almost every week. If, God forbid, someone is unable to run the game and the players really want to play, I can run "Mafia" myself. But that's unlikely, and I will wait my turn without complaint. However, in May and the first half of June, I likely won't be able to run the game as I'd like, so I hope my turn as GM doesn't fall during that time.

In general, welcome to...

Those who believe in parallel worlds are right. There are countless dimensions. And it doesn't matter what kind of life existed in them (if any at all), how widespread it was, or what laws of the universe reigned there—one simple rule existed: dimensions cannot penetrate one another. But spatial storms are capable of destroying the boundary between worlds. Eliminating these storms and their aftermath, as well as catching sliders (beings capable of moving from dimension to dimension), is the task of the higher race of Spirits, who observe all spaces.

But there is one unique world that is an exception to the rule. The Omnipotent Club is a place where the most powerful beings from different dimensions gather for pleasant leisure, relaxation, and entertainment. Additionally, several dozen mortals (or not quite) work as staff at the Omnipotent Club. There is no violence or discrimination here. Everything is gentlemanly and decent: a wide variety of leisure activities, pleasant company for conversation, no infringement on workers' rights, and the freedom to arrive in and leave the world. A utopia—what more could one want? Furthermore, the Club is a kind of compromise between the sliders and the Spirits. One of the founders of the Club, Estrello, who is himself a retired observer, concluded an agreement with his former colleagues. The Spirits leave the Club alone, and in exchange, it becomes an Asylum for sliders. Did you somehow end up in another world? Then rest assured, you will shift between dimensions once more. By the will of the Spirits, you will end up at the Club, where you will be offered a job. If you don't agree—that's your will, travel on... until the Spirits take away your power to move between dimensions. However, there are so-called "world links," where the ability to move from space to space is legalized and the Spirits do not interfere with the actions of sliders. But these are exceptions rather than the rule. And even then, the Spirits still do not let them pass beyond the boundaries of the worlds defined by the link. Moreover, the Club is hidden from all other worlds, and even the most powerful mage-sliders, who serve the Spirits legally, cannot detect this world or enter it. Overall, for a long time, the Club served as an isolated corner of a magical Paradise for the most diverse creatures: from Gods and dragons to ordinary schoolgirls or janitors.

However, the Omnipotent ones failed to realize that the desolate world they turned into their flourishing fairytale corner had its own laws and was not ready for such global changes. Nature itself—a force against which even the Spirits could not go—rose up against the uninvited guests. And one fine day, when not many inhabitants remained in the Club, the apocalypse arrived. Nature revolted. Blooming plains and forests turned into habitats for monsters, and various cataclysms began everywhere: from volcanic eruptions and earthquakes to tsunamis and hurricanes. The Omnipotent ones themselves received a massive magical strike that stripped them of all their powers and abilities, except for one. For each, the remaining power was individual—innate and most characteristic of them specifically. However, the staff retained all their powers, and the responsibility for saving the world fell upon their shoulders. The creator of the Club, Turings, discovered the source of the cataclysms, and all the mortals who were part of the staff at that time were sent deep into the planet's depths to eliminate it, while the Omnipotent ones tried their hardest to keep at least the Club building itself stable.

But the apocalypse was not the main problem. After the cataclysms began, the world ceased to be isolated, and some powerful beings arrived at the newly discovered Club. And not all of them came with good intentions... An alliance of personalities formed among the Omnipotent, who decided to take advantage of these difficult times to liquidate a large number of great beings at once and begin using this magical place, full of magical and other various powers, for their own selfish goals. Furthermore, this world caught the eye of none other than the embodiment of universal Chaos... Definitely, these are not the best of times for the Club, and who knows if this corner will be able to remain the utopia it once was.

Please post something in the workshop. Anything.

I posted it; now, please continue sharing.

City

Turings.

A Demiurges who, without realizing it, became the father of this world. Responsible, but otherwise prone to extremes: now frivolous, now serious; now kind-hearted, now harsh. Forces dwell within him whose scale he himself cannot imagine. A single desire, a single thought that it would be good to organize a Recreation Club for Almighty beings gave birth to this space. And from then on, everything was created and expanded on its own, adapting to the desires of the Almighty, until Nature snapped... Turings himself did not participate much in organizing the Club's activities because, apparently, he was the only one who understood that you cannot simply arrive in a world and do whatever you want. He spent a lot of time trying to understand the principle of this dimension's structure and the influence of the Almighty upon it. For this, he "earned the respect" of Nature and remained the only one among the Almighty who did not lose his powers. However, all of them are spent by Turings on maintaining the stability of the Club building and protecting it from cataclysms.

Estrello.

A spirit who was fired from his job for interfering in the course of events in the chain of worlds he was supposed to observe. He cannot stand boredom and inaction, yet even in his new physical form of existence, he prefers to act not independently, but indirectly, through some external means. Very polite and friendly; many girls from the staff pined for him, some for a long time, some for a short. He himself has not yet managed to concern himself with love, for in his new human appearance (even if it is the form of an Almighty human) there are more interesting pleasures still unknown to him. However, having observed a world where goodness ruled all his life, he developed rules of morality that he did not cross. Thus, Estrello despises depriving a sentient being of life and will certainly not kill virgins for his own pleasure. Nevertheless, he still managed to do some not-so-good things, for which he sometimes suffers from pangs of conscience. One of the founders of the Club of the Almighty. After the apocalypse, by an irony of fate, his only ability became that which he cannot stand — observation. It is as if Estrello's perception merged with the knowledge of the Club itself; with his consciousness, he can penetrate all its corners. But this causes instability in the functioning of his organism, and it is quite possible that with excessive use of this ability, his consciousness will completely leave the body.

Villain Annigeol Cain De Lucian Van Devil.

A pureblood vampire from Transylvania, Villain never caused evil without reason. All he wanted was to live a full life full of pleasures. And who can blame him that in order to reach his age of 115 years, he had to deprive a couple thousand people of their lives, predominantly young girls. By the way, despite his "old age," Villain retained the appearance of his twenty-one-year-old self. He is a true hedonist who does not miss any opportunity to increase his wealth in anything. Thus, meeting a barely alive fallen goddess, Villain could not deny himself the generosity of granting her death, draining her and thereby acquiring the powers of a demigod. A year before the creation of the Club of the Almighty, Villain entered a hunt for the powerful artifacts of a Japanese goddess and with their help managed to take the power from another goddess of the pantheon, thus becoming a demigod twice over. And two halves create a whole. Villain himself entered the pantheon of gods of his world. Earning respect through his politeness, intellect, and aestheticism, he was granted the honor of taking under his patronage a planet where life was to be born in the future. But it would still be a long wait until that moment, and to dispel boredom, Villain became one of the founders of the Club. This world surprised and amazed the vampire. During the existence of the Club, Villain revised his values, began to care for others, and overall became more respectful of the weak, which was previously uncharacteristic of him. Essentially, the Club made the vampire fall in love with it, and he gladly took on the position of personnel manager. When the apocalypse came, Villain lost all his divine and even vampiric powers. All that remained to him is the resilience and endurance characteristic of all individuals of his kind. However, he has an ace up his sleeve. Since his teenage years, he has always been accompanied by Gibutsu — a creature looking like a young pale girl. She is an artificial creation, but managed to become more than even a homunculus. To Villain, Gibutsu is everything: slave, companion, lover, friend, guardian, advisor... And weapon. The Club did not perceive Gibutsu as Almighty and did not strip her of her powers. A mistake, for within her dwells a piece of Villain's essence, ready to unleash its power at the wish of its master.
ND.
Ult. Gibutsu's Wrath. Kills the target, piercing any type of protection. Cannot be blocked or redirected by any means. Healing, even demonic, does not save the victim. Furthermore, such a kill replenishes Villain's vital forces, and if someone tries to kill him the next night, he survives with 100% probability (nothing pierces this protection) and kills the attacker.

Yortl-turtle.

Yortl is a representative of the race of warm-blooded sentient turtles. Individuals of royal blood, and Yortl is one of them, possessed unique magical power. They could change, subdue, control — in short, do ABSOLUTELY everything with what they saw. Yes, such a somewhat ridiculous restriction. If you blink, that's it, the spell dissipates. Fortunately, turtles could go without blinking for several hours thanks to the peculiarities of their organism. In his youth, after receiving the crown, Yortl was a tyrant who forced his subjects to stand on each other's backs so that from the top of this tower of turtles, the king could see his entire island and keep it under his power. Yortl gained no benefit from this; it was simply egoism and a desire to test his strength on everything around him playing out, but nevertheless he continued to torture his subjects with hour-long standings on each other's backs, justifying his actions by saying that in this way he could attract a large amount of fish from all coastal waters into the fishermen's nets. But even fish did not appease the island residents. One day, a young and fiery turtle named Mack said everything the population thought to Yortl's face. This forced the king to rethink his values, and within a few months he began to be called the wisest king. Having brought his island to full prosperity, Yortl began to get bored. One day in the night sky, he saw a new constellation shaped like a gate. Looking at it, Yortl simply ordered them to open... And found himself in the Club at the moment of its creation. Laying the foundation for this world, Yortl returned to his own world, but periodically visited the Club to rest, socialize, learn something new, admire the landscapes... Unfortunately for him, his last visit coincided exactly with the apocalypse. Yortl lost all powers except the ability to summon other creatures to himself, as he had repeatedly done with fish. However, no one cancelled the turtle's wisdom and strong shell, and he is ready to stand in defense of his beloved Club.

Merlin.

The greatest sage and mage of his world. Merlin spent his time helping the king and his son overcome difficulties and rule the country. For a man with his abilities, this posed no difficulty, and therefore the wizard spent most of his time on science. Having studied the world through various sciences, he formulated a theory about parallel worlds and began to derive a spell for crossing the boundary between them. Estrello in the Club learned of these attempts. Knowing that Spirits usually eliminate beings of such power as Merlin, he decided to beat his colleagues to it and sent an invitation to the wizard to join the Club of the Almighty. Thus, the spell formulated by Merlin worked, but he went not to an alternative version of his world as he wished, but to the world where Estrello was. His movement coincided in time with the start of the cataclysms, so almost immediately after arrival, the wizard lost all his powers except for the occupation he had practiced since he was a boy. Merlin retained the ability to feel how bright a person's soul is, how good or evil they are. And this capability will undoubtedly be useful to the Club.

Tox, where is the promised Mafia map that was announced a week ago?

Post it, please.

You'll owe me immunity for the first three in-game days for this.
