Ult. Spark, storm, madness. Creates chaos, disrupting all city and mafia Non-Decree actions, except for inspections, and also triggers a serial killer.

The name doesn't quite match the order of the Non-Decree actions. On one hand, it says that all Non-Decree actions (except inspections) are affected, but on the other hand, the ult of Mom and the Hypocrite are not blocked, as they are higher in the order. It would be good to sort this out...

Okay, I will fix it.

The other two players swap their Night Attack targets (if a target performs multiple Night Attacks during the night, the first one in order is swapped).

Um... I didn't understand that at all...

What about displaying thwarted kills?

I have a fox. It seems like everything is working... Try it in code mode (the <> button).

What about displaying failed kills?Classic Night Action target swapping. If, for example, the target of a Killer is changed, only the first Night Action in the list is changed. If the target of the winner of the previous game in the board game is changed, and they are performing two identical Night Actions, then one of the two is chosen randomly.

Failed kills are not displayed. Blocks are always displayed, even when blocking a target with immunity.

The other two players have their Night Action targets swapped (if a target performs multiple Night Actions during the night, the first one in order is swapped).

If the target of the winner of the previous game in the board game is swapped, and they perform two identical Night Actions, then one of the two is chosen randomly.

If Night Actions are applied to players A, B, and C, and B wins, then on the next night, they receive the 2nd Night Action, and player A goes to the target that C was going to; accordingly, C goes to the target that A was going to. Is that correct?

The other two players have their Night Action targets swapped (if a target performs multiple Night Actions during the night, the first one in order is swapped).

Um... I don't quite understand...

It's a classic target swap. If, for example, the target of a Mafia member is swapped, only the first Night Action in the list is changed. If the target of the winner of the previous game in a board game, who performs two identical Night Actions, is swapped, then one of the two is chosen randomly.

If Night Actions are applied to players A, B, and C, and B wins, then on the next night, he receives the 2nd Night Action, and player A goes to the target that C was going to; accordingly, C goes to the target that A was going to. Is that correct?Yes, that's how it works.

I have a fox. It seems to be working... Try it in code mode (the <> button).

What "button"? I don't have any button. I click the "quote post," "edit post," and "preview" buttons, and the result is a blank page (yes, completely blank).

Um... I didn't understand...

This is a classic target swap. If, for example, the target is swapped for a killer, only the first Night Action in the list is changed. If the target is swapped for the winner of the previous game in a board game, who performs two identical Night Actions, then one of the two is chosen randomly.

If Night Actions are applied to players A, B, and C, and B wins, then on the next night, he receives the 2nd Night Action, and player A goes to the player that C was going to; accordingly, C goes to the player that A was going to. Is that right?Yes, that's how it works.This is some kind of mess...

Let's say C was going to A, and A was going to C. Will they both go to themselves?:D What if someone is staying at home?

If, after the swap, someone ends up back in their original position, the swap has no effect. If one of the two players was at home, the swap has no effect. Let's get started with registration; please direct all questions there. I listened to Fragment and made some minor balance adjustments, so I recommend rereading the setting carefully.

If you suddenly feel like playing Mafia again, I can GM a game in this setting over the next couple of months.

Haunted asylum

Venice is one of Italy's most famous cities, attracting tourists from all over the world. But there is a place where tourists are forbidden. Poveglia Island is one of the most mysterious places on the planet. An island with a rich but gruesome history, after visiting which you will never want to return. This is where an abandoned psychiatric clinic is located, where insane experiments were performed on patients.

Some showrunners wanted to use the grim image of Poveglia in their new project. They offered several volunteers to spend 3 nights within the walls of the abandoned hospital under camera surveillance, after which the participants would be paid a reward. Local authorities and residents were against such shows, but the producers somehow managed to convince the authorities to change their minds, and no one listened to the residents.

Eventually, a group of volunteers was recruited, and the project launched. At first, everything went well, but in the middle of the first night, communication with the participants was cut off, and they, to their horror, discovered that they could not escape the hospital. In the morning, the hospital was swarming with rescuers and reporters, but none of the participants could be found.

Now they are all trapped in a parallel reality, and until they can deal with the inhabitants of Poveglia, there will be no way back for them.

Project Participants:

Lars, psychologist

Decided to participate in the project as he saw an opportunity to apply his skills in an unusual environment.

General Game Rules.

1) Mage Guild is always right. All complaints after the game.
2) Night and day last 24 hours. I will try to start nights at a specific time - midnight Moscow time.
3) It is forbidden to explicitly reveal your role or the roles of other players known through role traits and night actions. Execution is formatted in bold as "Execute xxx". Cancellation of execution is formatted in bold as "Do not execute xxx". Clues are given based on character backgrounds. Hints about the role of the killed are also given. For too obvious hints at hidden information (even if it doesn't actually exist), sanctions may be applied to the player in the form of a warning, reduction of role traits and actions, or modkill.
4) NAs must be sent every night. All NAs directed at oneself fail (regardless of what led to this).
5) Modkill or player replacement occurs in case of gross rule violation or complete lack of signs of life during game days (day and night), or two consecutive days/nights. Also, modkill/replacement may happen at the player's request.
6) Each character can perform only one action per night unless other conditions are specified. 3 actions are accepted from mafia, one of which is a killing action.
7) Immunities for the first night are provided to new players, as well as players killed on the first night in the previous game.
8) Actions directed at an isolated player fail and are not displayed in the newspaper (except cases where the role has immunity to isolation).
9) Rules for displaying failed kills: due to hitting natural protection - not displayed; due to successful external protection or healing - displayed as a fact without specifying the victim's nickname. If multiple factors exist, determination is made by the action that comes first in the order of NAs.
10) Ultimate actions are consumed upon application in any case.
11) All actions from the Ghost of the girl (except redirection) are performed in the same phase as the original, but effectively occur later. Display rules are the same, no differences in description from the original.
12) A failed block is still displayed (except in the case of failure due to isolation).

It brought together even the old-school players.

Looks fun, but I'll repeat once again that HeroesWorld is not yet ready for such complex settings...

And yes, the flashbacks to the legendary Episode 32 are powerful

Well... Either there were no games at all, or now, after Toxa, several people suddenly wanted to start a thread.

>2020
>Male/Female
дюююююд...

Lizard attack. A mental and physical attack simultaneously. 1% chance that the target will be guaranteed to be killed. 1% chance that the attack will be redirected to a random target.

Is he kidding?:D

Looks cool, but I'll repeat once again that HB is not ready for such complex settings yet...

The main thing is that the GM himself is ready. :)
