[Method of Madness]

Hey guys, I'm running the next Mafia game. This isn't a sign-up thread, it's just a thread for ideas of topics. I'll probably end up combining a few ideas or I might take one from somewhere else entirely but I can't think of anything at the moment and I figured I'd see if anyone had any suggestions. I should hopefully do the sign-up thread in a couple days and start the game in a week or so.

[Thrillho]

I think, maybe, butts.

[ev4n]

Wait, we can't kill you early next game, too?  That sounds like a bad idea.

I kid... I kid...

[Loki]

I get to kill GWF.

In more serious news, maybe other special roles than the default investigator/protector? I can post a  couple if you are looking for ideas.

[Method of Madness]

No, I'm only looking for settings. I'll do the mechanics on my own. Thanks though.

Aboard a space station in orbit around Earth, perhaps one owned by an eccentric billionaire who designs robots in his spare time?

bladerunner?

[Loki]

10 people are locked into different cryostatic chambers and can only communicate via posts on a message board

*strange dude offers pills*

I'm not taking either of those things! Who knows what they are!

[Method of Madness]

Ok, let me tell you guys what not to suggest. Any existing movie, TV show, video game, etc.

[Lines]

Aww, no Battle Royale? Or even House of Cards?

Man. Now I want to come up with a HoC-esque game... Political intrigue and murder!

[Method of Madness]

Definitely not House of Cards, I wouldn't wanna spoil it for anyone! Also I haven't seen the British version yet.

[Lines]

Well, not using the actual characters, but you know, government coverups and intrigue and the occasional offing of someone that's in your way or that you simply don't like. I haven't seen the British version either, but this is a thing that happens in political dramas.

[Method of Madness]

Oh well...I mean, I might do that. I just won't consider it a derivative of anything in particular.

[dr. nervioso]

I don't haave any specifics. I just want it to be in space.

Maybe something like a bunch of rich and influential people have a party on a space station and then people start dying?

[cesium133]

Oh well...I mean, I might do that. I just won't consider it a derivative of anything in particular.

Yeah, we just have to figure out what is integral to the setting. 

[Method of Madness]

Why would that matter?

[cesium133]

We wouldn't want a divergence from the general gradient of the scene to curl our perception of it.

sorry, horrible math pun attempt

[Method of Madness]

The players are responsible for a great deal of the story.
