Mafia 7: Sign Up Thread

<< < (23/39) > >>

Method of Madness:
I know, I don't think it would be bad if every person was given a role background (open to interpretation, of course).

mtmerrick:
Character ≠ role ≠ in-game profession

Method of Madness:
Well, fine. So the GM assigns the role and in-game profession (which is what I think TED meant by "character role"), and people build their character accordingly.

mtmerrick:
Ok, that sounds good to me.

I've seen quite a few mafia games where the DM assigns/takes over all 3, and that takes all the fun out of the game.

TheEvilDog:
Exactly. You get assigned a role to play, and a profession, as opposed to "Villager". After that is up to the players.
Mtmerrick, I've run more than a few games and have long learned that the GM is only there to help the story along and if needs be, arbitrate the rules. There are two rules I have - One: make sure the players have fun. Two: Never railroad the players, fastest way to lose their interest.
