Haha Soap would be funny - Hogwarts would be a blast
WoW would be almost like EQ was. Although that might be nice to have 2nd game with same basics as first so we can "have a 2nd chance" based on what we know about the game now. That way circumstances aren't changing (yet!). But after another I'd be ready for a complete flop ;p
Mafia: What's next?
I'd like to hear your suggestions for future Mafia scenarios. What universe would you like to play in?
A few of my ideas:
Hogwarts Mafia: David Bowles (hi2u David) and I ran a Harry Potter game around the time the second movie came out. Since then, there's been another movie and another book, and some fresh new material to work with, so I'd love to run another.
WoW Mafia: I don't know a whole lot about the game, having only played the lowbie end of it, but I'm willing to give it a go.
Lord of the Rings Mafia: Since it seems everyone here has read it or watched the movies, this seemed like an obvious choice.
Blade Runner Mafia: Something sci fi, perhaps? I don't know how many are familier with the story or movie, but I could keep it simple enough that you wouldn't have to read the book to keep up.
Soap Opera Mafia: I've always thought this would be a fun one. Something a little lighter and more funny than the usual dark and brooding things I tend to lean toward.
Fairy Tale Mafia: Play your favorite classic Fairy tale character!
OR
Shrek Mafia: This might have more plot potential than Fairy Tale Mafia, though I don't know if I can be as funny as those movies were :\.
Throw out your own ideas, or just post and say if you like something already suggested!

I think it would be fun to run another EQ game, now that we all kind of understand how it works, and that's a world we are all very familair with, but I like the Blade Runner idea too! That whole universe would be pefect for it... don't know who's a replica and who isn't!
I've never been a big harry potter fan, I wouldn't even know where to start. If you guys think I would know enough from seeing each movie only once (and not in order lol ... saw two, then one, then three) then I'd bee willing to give it a go though.
I haven't played WoW, but I played the strategy game so I know the players and the premise for that one.
Lord of the Rings: Droooool. THAT one I would be good at.
What else?
Ummmm...
I think we should make Nards play a pokemon one!

Did someone say fairy tales?
<--check out the title, duh...
Actually all of those sound like a lot of fun, but something less dark would be a nice change of pace.

From the feedback I've been getting, sounds like Blade Runner Mafia is the way to go this time around.
I'm thinking March 9th is a good day to start. I'll keep everyone posted, should have a new scenario and character thread up after the weekend sometime.

The book that Blade Runner is based on is called Do Andriods Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip k. Dick, if anyone prefers that to watching the movie. The senario will be simple enough that you should be okay if you're not familier with the film/book, and you can always ask me or your fellow players if something is confusing.
From the back of the book...
Edit: Veri can't spell
From the back of the book...
By 2021, the World War had killed millions, driving entire species into extinction and sending man-kind off planet. Those who remained coveted any living creature, and for people who couldn't afford one, companies built incredibly realistic simulacrae: horses, birds, cats, sheep...
They even built humans.
Emigrants to Mars received andriods so sophisticated it was impossible to tell them from true men or women. Fearful of the havoc these artificial humans could wreak, the government banned them from Earth. But when the andriods didn't want to be identified, they just blended in.
Rick Deckard was an officially sanctioned bounty hunter whose job was to find rogue andriods, and to "retire" them. But when cornered, andriods tended to fight back, with deadly results.

Veb and I were talking and he came up with 'The Twilight Zone'. There's a particular episode that came to mind.
"The Monsters are due on Maple Street"
When a power outage hits a neighborhood, the residents become convinced that it was caused by invading aliens disguised as earthlings! So how do you tell who the aliens are?
If you haven't seen this classic TZ episode, it starts with that power outage and the neighbors come out trying to figure out what's going on. This mouthy little kid's like 'I read this in my comic book, its the aliens!'. Well then mayhem ensues when strange things start to happen. They end up lynching one of the neighbors who just happens to smoke his stogies outside on his porch at night while staring up into the sky. Well he has to be the alien then! One by one, someone's house lights are turned on while the other's are turned off. Each of those neighbors get accused of being the alien. The town goes total apeshit with neighbors turning on each other. All the while, they're being watched the real aliens on the hill top who say...
"Humans. All you have to do is mess with their lights and they go crazy kiling themselves." Then they laugh about it.
I think this would be awesome! Townies are the neighbors, the mafia are the aliens!!!

I seriously doubt enough people are familiar with it, since it is extremely complex, but I'd love to do something set in the Planescape: Torment universe. You could assign homework and make everyone beat the game before making their characters
