she magnificent my bastard till i complete on her monsterBunp. Still looking for players, I really am looking forward to running this.
she magnificent my bastard till i complete on her monsterI can see why, while no doubt a lot more complicated than maffia this looks fun and our maffia games end rather soon anyway
Tbh, I don't think we even have that amount of active people on this forum.
Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?that's unfortunate
she magnificent my bastard till i complete on her monsterOr more like "amount of active people who would be interested in a game like this", if they haven't replied yet. I would love to try it though, sounds interesting, plus I prefer games like this with a larger amount of players anyway

she magnificent my bastard till i complete on her monster/join The Widow Spider

Huzzah/join as horse?!?!
So, a long while back, I played this game with a group of people and it was like, super fun. I was kinda sad that the person running it ended up dropping out so we didn't get to see it through, but I've really been wanting to play this again, so I figured I'd try to run one myself, and hope people are interested.
So that all said, here's the rules!
In character roleplay is not required but is encouraged.
Signups
Basics
Phases
Challenge Phase
Duel Ranks:
Dance Ranks:
Action Phase
Voting Phase
Gifts
Dinner Phase
Augur
You are an Augur! Death can never come too soon, for you there is new life in death. Those that die around you are merely wandering spirits, waiting for your guidance underneath your spiritual light. You offer repentance to all who dwindle on this plain of existence.During the Action Phase, you may ask any dead players up to three questions divided (question length = 100 characters). The dead player may respond to each question(20 characters). This is done by P Ming the Mod with the question. Three per game, during the Action Phase, you may ask the moderator of the current game and ask 1 question about someone who is already dead. Questions against anyone who is currently alive will be ignored. The Moderator will not lie about what they tell you; the information is correct.
Barbarian
You are a Barbarian! Across the land, your name is whispered in fearful corners and shouted from the peaks of mountains. Mighty conquerors seek mighty trophies, and the Palace is certainly a worthy trophy.Three times per game, during the Dinner Phase, you may intimidate one player, preventing them from acting (challenging/being challenged) during the Challenge Phase. PM the Moderator to use this power. If you intimidate a player, the intimidated player will be announced at the beginning of the Challenge Phase.
Blackmailer
You are a Blackmailer! Your hobby is certainly dirty- in that you dig up dirt. Research and preparation are the keys to success. Before you entered the Palace, you were already familiar with every tidbit and secret embedded in the past of the other players- secrets that will make them cringe in fear and do your bidding.During the Dinner Phase, you may blackmail one player. PM the Moderator to use this power. Blackmailed players must participate in a challenge during the Challenge Phase, or will die. Only the blackmailed player will know that they are blackmailed.
Blacksmith
You are a Blacksmith! Steel flows like water under your steady gaze and steady flame. The pounding of your hammer crafts works of art and workers of war. One of your weapons in a hand guarantees victory.At the beginning of the Action Phase, you will be notified of the intended winner(s) of the accepted duel(s). Three times per game, during the Action Phase, you may change the winner of a duel. PM the Moderator to use this power. You may use this ability once on yourself.
Maid
You are a Maid! You have worked in this mansion your entire life, an unassuming background fixture, maneuvering in plain sight to please your master. But now the master is dying, and it's time for you to inherit the mansion. Through all your years of service you have memorized this house inside and out, and you know how to blend into backgrounds, and listen in on conversations not meant for you.You will be notified whenever the Blacksmith or the Musician interferes in a challenge. You will be notified of any secret plate switches. You will be notified of the original target for the Poisoner and Peasant. (Not post-switch)
Man-at-arms
You are a Man-at-arms! All these poor people attempting to fool their way to riches, you have, and always has, been an excellent murderer. By detecting weakness in the group, you can spread fear with one simple line - Who done it?Once per voting phase, you may shoot one person. They will not survive the shot unless they are the Soldier. If you shoot the Soldier, the Soldier will kill you instead. You can only shoot losers of duels/dances. Additionally, you also gain an additional shooting every time you defeat a player in a duel or dance. The shooting is silent, meaning it does not reveal your role. You cannot store more than 1 shot at a time. You start off with one shot.
Musician
You are a Musician! Perfect pitch, perfect playing... perfect music. Hands dance across strings and keys as the notes rise and fall. No matter the tune, no matter the tempo, every song ascends to perfection in your grasp. Yet with a single twist, that song becomes an instrument of death.At the beginning of the Action Phase, you will be notified of the intended winner(s) of the accepted dance(s). Three times per game, during the Action Phase, you may change the winner of a dance. PM the Moderator to use this power. You may use this ability once on yourself.
Peasant
You are a Peasant! Every day, you go out onto your simple plot of land and farm. But now that the lord of the mansion is dying, this is your chance to finally move up the ladder. Alas... Your life as a peasant has not been nourishing. Used to having little, upon moving into the mansion you find yourself having a lot. And you don't know how to be satisfied.During the Voting Phase, you may sneak into the kitchen and eat from someone's plate. The eaten plate will have less food, and thus whoever eats it will not have the strength for the next day's Challenges. They will lose one Challenge, chosen randomly, regardless of their place on the duel/dance list. If you eat poisoned food, you die.
Poisoner
You are a Poisoner! There is no better color than the pale blue of asphyxiation. Or perhaps a simple white pallor. Hmm, but the rich re- No matter. Your art is that of death, slipped unnoticed into a vein, on the rim of a cup, among familiar foods...You may poison a player's food during the Voting Phase. If they eat it, they will die during the dinner phase. PM the Moderator to use this power.
Professor
You are a Professor! A higher education you had, and a higher education you now teach. You are an expert in the field of social analysis. Whether it be his posture, or or his grin, or another tell that no one but you can pick up upon, all you need to determine the past, present, and true intentions of a man is to observe him carefully.Whenever you guess a player's role, you may also submit a secondary guess to the moderator for the same player. If the secondary guess is correct, it will be displayed as your submitted guess, otherwise, your primary guess, whether correct or incorrect, will be displayed. Whenever you win a challenge, you may submit a third guess the following Dinner Phase.
Royal
You are a Royal! The blood running through your veins is undeniably royal. An aura of command encircles and influences those who behold you. Combined with a forceful and assertive personality, you can direct others without their knowledge.Your vote counts as two during the Voting Phase. PM the moderators to cast your second vote secretly. Once per game, during the Voting Phase, you may force a vote. PM the Moderator to use this power.
Sorcerer
You are a Sorcerer! Why must the magical elite linger among the unpowered civilians? No matter. Your victory is near certain, as you are obvious the the most cunning and clever person here. The other contestants must be grateful that your powers are too flashy .Once per game, you may choose a player to magically kill. PM the Moderator to use this power. When you use your power, you will be revealed as the Sorcerer. There are no restrictions on when you may use this power, only that you cannot use it if you are one of the losers in a voting phase.
Soldier
You are a Soldier! You went off to war a simple peasant boy, unsure of the world. You returned not a man, but a soldier. With guns, war is hell. With magic, war is worse. Your mind was nearly shattered, and your body forever changed.You are immune to poison. You will kill the MAA when he shoots you.
Student
You are a Student! During your college years, you could never confine yourself to a single field of study. Thankfully, a natural knack for learning led to the collection of a wide variety of skills. In the Palace, this ability will serve you well, as dueling and dancing are simply other skills. However, victory does not tell you where you need to improve as well as defeat does…Each time you lose in a duel or dance, you move up two slots on the corresponding list. Each time you win in a duel or dance, you move up one slot in that list. Dead players count as being on the lists.
Thief
You are a Thief! The perfect crime remains unknown. It is a mark of your prowess as a thief that no one had heard your name or seen your exploits. You have stolen from the richest kings, scammed the brightest scholars... Switching plates is like taking candy from a baby.You may switch player's plates up to 5 times per dinner phase without their knowledge. PM the Moderator to use this power. If the poisoner dies, you will become the new poisoner.
And that's about it! The game will start when we have fifteen people, which I'll be adding to the OP as they come up. I really hope yall enjoy this game as much as I did!
