Posts from Workshop

What mafia are you talking about? Now it’s Arza’s turn.

The sky is resting on something heavy...

Yes, we agreed in the chat a hundred years ago that you would host it. Arcomage number-fapper, just like me, he scored 55. :)

Nebok, who is the artist?

Andy Kehoe.

My turn is approaching, so I've tweaked the setting a bit.

War in the Galaxy! More and more systems are seceding from the Republic and joining the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Jedi, along with the clone army, must hold back the droids on all fronts. Despite the apparent clarity, both sides pursue completely different goals...

Chancellor

The Sith Darth Sidious, who has mastered all aspects of the Dark Side of the Force, which could reveal his true nature. A skilled manipulator and psychologist, he surpasses even Master Windu in lightsaber combat. The post of Head of the Republic is a trifle, necessary for the implementation of a multi-stage plan to restore Sith power over the Galaxy.
NA: none
Features:
Ruler - has a double vote during voting.
Sith - if Mace Windu attempts to block him, he kills him.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: not a droid.

Anakin Skywalker

An impulsive Jedi, the Chosen One. Ambitious, powerful, and arrogant. Having broken the Jedi Code, he married Padmé. An extraordinary sense of power manifested in him from a young age; thanks to it, Anakin can see the future of those he loves.
NA: Murder, weapon - lightsaber.
Features:
Marriage Bonds - knows Padmé, can communicate with her.
Nightmares - learns the name of Padmé's killer.
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Anakin's teacher, a strong Jedi, Master of the Order. He uses his sharp mind for the benefit of the Republic. He previously operated in a pair with Anakin, but now more and more frequently receives individual assignments.
NA: Analytics - receives an additional clue for any murder.
Features: none.
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

Clone

An ordinary Republic fighter. May sacrifice himself to save a comrade.
NA: Cover - when attacking a target, dies instead of them.
Features: none
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

Yoda

One of the oldest beings in the Galaxy, possibly the last of his kind. A wise Master of the Order, known for certain eccentricities. He dislikes using weapons without necessity but senses those around him very subtly through the flow of the Force.
NA: Whisper of the Force - learns the target's Side.
Features: none
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

Padmé Amidala

Former Queen of Naboo, a senator with oratorical talent and a striking gift for finding trouble. She married Anakin at the very beginning of the Clone Wars and always maintains contact with him. She can act secretly where brute force is powerless.
NA1: Persuasion - target changes their vote during the day vote.
NA2: Investigation - if the target kills someone this night, she learns the target's role.
Features:
Marriage Bonds - knows Anakin, can communicate with him.
Dream Object - upon her death, Anakin learns the killer's name.
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

Mace Windu

Head of the Jedi Order, an expert in lightsaber combat. A blunt personality who does not tolerate dissent. His high status allows him to order the arrest of any resident of the Galaxy, even the Chancellor himself.
NA: Arrest - blocks a target for one night. If he attempts to block a Sith, he dies.
Features: none
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

Ahsoka Tano

Student of Anakin Skywalker, similar in character and abilities to her teacher. Due to her sarcasm, she earned the nickname "Snips"; nevertheless, she is always ready to help friends in a difficult moment.
NA: Resourcefulness - saves a chosen player from an attack.
Features: none.
Force Side: Light.
Status: not a droid.

R2-D2

An astromech droid capable of hacking any system. Possesses greater intelligence than other droids. He has repeatedly helped Anakin and his friends in difficult moments. Armed with an electroshock, effective against all types of droids.
NA: Database Access - determination of droid/not a droid status.
Features:
Electroshock - survives attacks by droids.
Force Side: Light.
Status: droid.

Medical Droid

A droid providing medical assistance to Republic residents. A memory capacity larger than that of a living being, powerful analytical intelligence, and the inability to forget anything make it an ideal doctor. The med-droid's capabilities in medicine are very great, but only if the patient reaches it in time.
NA: Treatment - bringing a player back to life if they died this night or the previous night.
Features: none.
Force Side: Light.
Status: droid.

Mouse Droid

This droid is used by both the Republic and the Confederacy to detect malfunctions in spaceships. It has no practical application in ground operations. This droid was captured from a separatist ship, which explains some of the anxiety the Jedi feel at the sight of it.
NA: none.
Features: none.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: droid.

Count Dooku

Former student of Yoda, which explains his power in controlling the Force. A highly intelligent man, an excellent strategist who strictly adheres to Darth Sidious's instructions. It is precisely because he is a Sith that he was able to become the commander-in-chief of the separatists.
NA1: Murder, weapon - lightsaber.
NA2 (once per game): Lightning - kills everyone who comes to him this night. In doing so, one clue remains for each death.
Features:
Sith - if Mace Windu attempts to block him, he kills him.
Force Side: Dark
Status: not a droid.

Battle Droid

An ordinary separatist fighter, not distinguished by particular cleverness, but capable of performing combat tasks.
NA: Murder, weapon - blaster.
Features: none.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: droid.

Droideka

A modified battle droid equipped with two double-barreled laser cannons and a shield generator. It has little value in an offensive against smarter Republic warriors, but can delay an enemy counterattack.
NA: Barrier - blocks the target.
Features: Shield - cannot be destroyed by weapons.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: droid.

General Grievous

A mysterious being clad in the strongest armor. Commander of the droid army, he allows himself some negligence in his behavior with droids, which has more than once caused Dooku's dissatisfaction. Very cruel. The ability to handle lightsabers makes him an even more dangerous opponent.
NA1: Order - redirects the NA of a target if their status is droid.
NA2: Murder (active if Count Dooku has died), weapon - lightsaber.
Features: Four Lightsabers - 50% chance to survive an attack. If he survives, there is a 50% probability he kills the attacker.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: not a droid.

Cad Bane

A hired killer who prefers cunning to brute force. He first made his name after the perfect breach of the Jedi Temple's security system. He can carry out the kidnapping of any Republican, while easily hiding from the authorities.
NA: Kidnapping - removes a target from the game for three turns, leaving a clue. If Bane is not killed or arrested during this time, the target dies.
Features: none.
Force Side: effectively Dark, but Light upon check.
Status: not a droid.

Asajj Ventress

Former student of Dooku. The Count was given an order to liquidate her, but he failed to execute it: Asajj escaped. To take revenge, Ventress and the witches of Dathomir subjugated Savage Opress. Ventress herself has mastered the art of fighting with dual lightsabers.
NA1: Murder, weapon - lightsaber.
NA2 (once per game): Double Assault - kills two targets. Cannot act on the next turn.
NA3 (once every three nights): Disappearance - all NAs directed at Asajj this night do not work.
Features:
Slippiness - escapes from the first execution.
Sith - if Mace Windu attempts to block her, she kills him.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: not a droid.

Savage Opress

This Dathomirian was sent to Count Dooku as a new student, learned to control the Force and fight with lightsabers. Later he betrayed Ventress and dedicated his whole life to avenging himself on the Sith. His malice and cruelty made him a dangerous opponent even for the strongest Jedi.
NA1: Murder, weapon - lightsaber, battle axe.
NA2 (once per game): Intimidation - kills the target. For other players of this team, there is a 50% probability (calculated separately for each player) that their NAs will not work.
Features:
Vengefulness - upon attack by Dooku or Ventress, kills them.
Sith - if Mace Windu attempts to block him, he kills him.
Force Side: Dark.
Status: not a droid.

Please note that a new role has appeared (there are now 18 in total). Padmé, R2-D2, and Savage Opress have been changed. There will be notes after all.

The "nightmare for blockers" set turned out great!

Wouldn't Mace Windu want to get...?

So, as long as the Mafia has a living Dooku, Mace Windu is practically useless? No, seriously, at best, he can disrupt a minor Mafia night kill, an important town role, or get killed by some Sith. Maybe the "Sith" characteristic should be removed from the Mafia roles?

Vindu seems a bit weak, even though he defeated Sidious in the movie.

Perhaps the "Sith" ability should be removed for maniacs?

I agree, in this form, the blocker is practically useless for the city and will only unnecessarily disrupt its own actions (and it is unlikely to act).

Okay, maybe "Sith" will just negate the block, without killing Windu? I'll remove the special ability from the Savage.

Yes, it’s okay, but with some issues.

As promised, I've created a setting with Luke Skywalker :).

Star Wars: The Classic Trilogy

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

A civil war is raging. A group of brave souls has risen against the oppression of the Empire. Striking from a hidden base, they have managed to discover that a giant space station is under construction — the Death Star, whose combat power allows it to destroy entire planets...
Emperor Palpatine

The Sith Darth Sidious, whose cunning plan elevated him from a Senator of the Republic to the sole ruler of the state. Although Lord Vader still performs most of the work, Palpatine has not lost his former skills in wielding the Force and lightsaber combat.

Administrator of Cloud City, a former cheat. He hasn't completely broken ties with his dark past, but helps the Alliance by illegally repairing their ships.

Status: mercenary.
Luke Skywalker

Son of Darth Vader, brother of Princess Leia. He studied the art of the Jedi under Ben Kenobi and Yoda, but his mastery of the Force leaves much to be desired. He believes that goodness lives within his father.

ND2: Connections — changes the voting result.
Features: none.
Side of the Force: Light.
Status: non-mercenary.

Han Solo

Smuggler, skilled marksman and pilot. Inseparable from Chewbacca — a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. Nobility overcame greed in him, so he joined the rebels.

I allowed some discrepancies with the saga's plot so that the setting would be complete.
An ultimate kill kills Jabba in one hit, ignoring all defenses, blocks, and treatments.

Please evaluate from a balance perspective.

no robotics again, hey
