S-FM 3DMafia
Location Based Mafia

Introducing a new version of mafia, where your role is not the only thing that matters. This mafia will feature a variety of familiar roles, but keep in mind THEY ARE DIFFERENT. Please do not assume you know a role, and read it through so you have a full understand of the mechanics. With that in mind.

Special Mechanics:

• Each day each player picks a route of 3 travel segments movement is mandatory.
• At he start of each night, each player will be informed who they may meet during at of the 3 resulting locations. (Keep in mind some actions will change travel paths!)
• Actions will target either a player you run into, a location you visited, or a segment you traveled.
• Only one Primary Action may be used in a night.
• Some roles have options, they must be declared during the day. They may be changed each day.
• Some locations grant abilities, they can only be used in those locations.
• The game will be played on this map.

If a location is rendered unusable it may be traveled through as a single movement. I.E. If the woodpile burns players can walk directly from the clearing to the dark cave.

P.S. Feel free to tell me what you think so far.

This sounds like a really interesting concept and I'm looking forward to seeing how the travel routes will affect the player's actions.

[deathworlds]

I am interested.

Introducing the Arsonist and the Trap Master​.

[Poriomania]

For starters, I like this mechanic. I've played location-based mafias before but none of the roles directly dealed with the placement of location. I feel like it creates a lot of accountability with night actions.

Just some setup balancing stuff.

I think that the Consort should not reveal himself to the roleblocked player - it really limits the targets he can roleblock and forces him to use his roleblock in a pro-town way.

How does a role become observant?

How does a role become paranoid?

What do you mean by a "travel segment" and "prey"? Just clarifications on these.

Personal preference, but I think you should nix the Killing role and just add in one more town (gives town one more mislynch before losing). It seems like you have a lot of reliance on Traps and I would make town and mafia-aligned Trap Masters to encourage more trapping.

I also feel like the traps should vary and be less swingy. For some ideas...

Roleblocking trap
Vanillification trap
Blackmail trap
Lynch threshold reducing trap.

That's mostly what I gleaned from reading the setup.

Cheers.

1. Oh that's awesome can I get some links so I can use them for balancing purposes?
2. I think you are right, I'll have to figure out a way to allow this without giving him away, the main reason I said that is because with the current setup in can be deduced anyways.
3. Simply some terms I'm using to identify like behavior among roles, makes it easier to understand I think.
4. A travel segment is a path on the grid that is used in your route. Prey should be target I'll go back and change it.
5. The threat of an additional killer is required to prevent game-breaking scenarios, unless you can suggest an alternative it will have to stand.

[Poriomania]

1. Sure, let me see if I can dig them up tomorrow - it's getting late.

2. Okay.

3. What do you mean by behavior among roles? I feel like they're terms that you have ideas for in your head but didn't bother to write them down.

4. Okay.

5. What game-breaking scenarios are you thinking about? What do you think about the multiple traps idea?

I think this game would greatly benefit from a test run or two, not sure how to implement one though.

6. I think this game would greatly benefit from a test run or two, not sure how to implement one though.

1. I'll keep a lookout.
3. For example Kidnapper and Jailor have the same behavior. As such all characters that are "observant" have the ability to identify when a player takes an action in their presence.
5. The game breaks and the detective and lookout become overpowered when all players move as a group, by forcing movement and pressuring them using the threat of the arsonist and the trap master, the group cannot agree to move around collectively and auto-win. As it would result in a neutral killer auto-win instead.
6. I agree, but S-FM is the best way I can think of to test it other than running it on another site. I will balance is as best I can and use play-test feedback to improve roles for future use.

This seems like it's going to be a real hassle to host.
If person A wants to visit person B, but person B visited person C in a different area, Person A's night action would fail? or would they repick?

They will be provided a list of players they may encounter at the start of the night, but if a night action prevents them from meeting the action will fail.

Example feedback for start of night.

You plan to meet player a at the woodpile.
Afterwards you plan to meet player b at the caves.
Finally you will visit the cabin to visit player a.

When player a dies at the lake you will receive the feedback:

At the cabin you noticed that player a was missing.
