@therealjrn the only major gameplay change I am thinking about is a way to make the villager’s job slightly less of a random crapshoot, but without making it too easy. The bandits were slightly OP because they were able to plan who to kill and plan strategies for who to discredit next, and they were incredible at it; I still can’t believe everyone turned on @medz for having a spreadsheet.
I want to have a mechanic that can point people in a different direction, in a way that is without bias from me and more importantly without ever being concrete evidence. Whether that means having a secret Detective that can stake out people at night to confirm suspicions (but can also be impersonated by a bold bandit if they think they can get away with it, since no one knows who the detective really is), or building a storyline and characters for each player that can give subtle hints, or some other bullshit.
Most of my other planning is just to punch up the narrative more. The next theme won’t be a western town besieged by bandits.
@Moose you did really well with the narrative and the character. I don’t know if it took a lot of time or you’re just talented or some of both but it came across as really well done.
@medz@Moose@therealjrn I kinda suck at being a “talking” character…I can’t bring myself to type that badly…but it was fun all the same…would definitely like to see the townsfolk get better direction
Yeah eventually, I’m trying to do a lot more prep for the next one though.
@Moose I enjoyed it just the way it was, even though it was kind of random and I got stabbed in the back.
@Moose @sammydog01 I’m about afraid to play again as I am pretty sure I would be the first one offed whether innocent or not.
@Moose @sammydog01 no idea what you are referring to.
@Moose @sammydog01 @tnhillbillygal Yeah, I’d be good to go the way it was. I’m afraid @Moose’s “eventually” will turn into “never.”
@tnhillbillygal Getting killed off first isn’t that bad…
@Sabre99 Sorry about that.

@Moose We could all be dealers in 'burque.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@therealjrn what, and spot the feds? (The cartels would be too obvious.)
@djslack I hadn’t thought of that, but that’s a neat twist.

@Moose “We don’t take kindly to folks what can read and write 'round here! Them fancy spreadsheet hoozy-whatzits are the devil’s work!”
@medz @Moose
@medz @Moose
/giphy innocent
The townies needed a Border Collie to guide them.
@Barney You do know you’re not sitting the next one out, right?
@therealjrn I dunno, I’m a little disappointed that it won’t take place in a western town. I already had my new character picked out.
@Barney I wanted to be a preacher this time around. I pictured you as a “Mags Bennett” type ala Justified. heh.
You’re still not sitting it out.
@therealjrn You would have made a great preacher!
I would have been Barney Oleson, proprietor of Oleson’s Mercantile. We Olesons have been in the Mercantile business for many generations.
Well, too bad about that.
I sits where and when I wants.
@therealjrn Hmm, looks like I should start watching Justified.
@Barney It’s an interesting show. I highly recommend it. Available on Prime video.
@therealjrn I’ve got Prime, so I’ll check it out. Thanks!
