Setting: "Guess the Neutral Dungeon and its features from the picture!"

The sky is talking.

Yes, I am looking, please calm down!

Ple-Sen, where are the pictures?

Here is what I had done before this. But it all seemed a bit raw, and the "city x 4 x 4 x maniacs" concept has already grown stale; besides everything else, it forces one to invent a bunch of special abilities and NDs, whereas here I tried to keep everything simple.

Liu Bei

Founder of Shu, known as an ambitious and charismatic leader with an extraordinary ability to attract people. Humble and merciful, Liu Bei always helped and protected common folk, and his aspiration was the desire to end the era of chaos under his own leadership.
Special Abilities
I. People's Support: double vote
II. Oath in the Peach Garden: if Liu Bei, Guan Yu, or Zhang Fei cross paths at night, they learn each other's roles and gain the ability to communicate.
III. Revenge: if one of his sworn brothers dies, Liu Bei begins searching for the killer until he finds them and takes their life.
Dimension Door
I. Mercy: can pardon a player sentenced to execution.

Zhang Fei

Zhang Fei is a loud and brash man whose bravery and strength are recognized as second only to Guan Yu; however, unlike his sworn brother, he possesses exceptional cruelty and will not hesitate to beat or even kill for disobedience. Stubborn and proud, he will never turn his back on an enemy.

I. Heals a chosen target.

Special Abilities
If monitoring the killer's victim, dies instead of them.

Cao Cao

A man of deep intellect, a brilliant strategist, politician, and general who uses all necessary means to achieve his designs and ambitions, even if it makes him an enemy of all other kingdoms. He also cares little for conventions or ancient traditions and judges people only by their achievements and abilities.

Here, Ple-Sen, learn how it should be done.

This is a hellish setting; I won’t be able to remember so many similar names.

We need to add some nicknames to the names, otherwise there will be confusion after the first night.

They not only have similar names, but they are also Asians, which will definitely cause confusion.

Leang, 7/18/2012 4:30:50 PM:
I'd also like to see how players would remember the names :D

WisTrit, 4:32:15 PM:
- He's probably a guy with a spear!
- Which one?? Red or blue??
- You know, the one with ribbons!

And I will be able to distinguish Liu Bei from, for example, Liu Meng. And in general, I will be able to tell them all apart.

I actually like that the names are short; in my opinion, it's easier to remember than something like DZHARRVIZZHCHSVSHZHRE. Someone mentioned that the sets from Heroes of Might and Magic IV are getting old, so how about introducing three new factions, hmm?

And the city – 15 players.

How about introducing three factions, hmm?

We tried. It turned into a slaughter.

It would be better to return to the classic city - 1 Mafia - 1 Man.
