    Default Parallel: Thoughts of Wolves

    Parallel: Thoughts of Wolves


    This castle and surrounding town has been the point of contention for many battles, now deserted it makes the perfect hideout for the last humans in this fading world.
    My lands, I finally get to say it properly, mother. Mine, always and forever, now that sister is gone. All thanks to the unseen but felt, what more can be done with this connection?
    Three months now we have been adrift, three months. They expect me to be thankful that i'm alive, the trip should have been instantaneous for me.

    Humans and ravenous mutants
    Succession after the death of a queen
    Travelers lost in the stars

    Reality distorts and what once was separate now converges. It starts with thoughts, but how does it end?

    Information


    Spoiler: Rules
    Show
    Each player starts the game with three roles, one for each world (ex: (red) town, (green) wolf, (blue) mason this player would hunt for wolves in red and blue but strive to kill others in green).

    Votes will be in the color of the world they wish to be used in, the player must be alive in that world for the vote to be counted. If you are dead in red you do not cast a red vote.

    Death in one world will void the actions/votes of that player in the other worlds. In the event that it changes another death all actions/votes will be recalculated until an end point is reached. If no end point can be reached in a reasonable time all connected deaths will not happen.

    Helgraf's Scry Interference will be in use.

    Tie-Kat will be in use. if there is a tie in the votes for one world those up for lynch will run and hide in all worlds (no actions that night but votes will still count).

    Auto-lynch happens on the third day of "non-votes"

    Devils will start with their wolves.


    Spoiler: Roles
    Show

    Village Team

    Town:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Civilian: The Civilian has no psionic abilities, the only defense they have is the gun or dagger at their side. They have only known the others for a few days or weeks.

    Villager: The Villagers only just found out there was a Queen a few days ago when she died, so it's news to them that she had daughters.

    Passenger: Thinking they'd wake up to a planet of luxury they are not too happy about manual labor just to survive.


    Lovers:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The manifest Lovers: It is not known who thought of who first, but what is known is love brought both in to being.

    The 'Rival' Merchants: The appearance of competition keeps people coming to both of their shops.

    Star Found Loves: If not for this calamity they would have never met.

    Get an additional win if they survive the game.


    Masons:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Council: Most of The Council is military all of them are telepaths.

    Hired Guard: A job is a job to this lot, doesn't matter who has the right to the crown.

    Engineers: The Analysts massage said something was wrong so they shut off all access to the warp dive and engines.


    Seer/Fool:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Chosen/The Fallen: The powerful psychic and the one that was driven to madness.

    The Apothecary/The Mind Reader: One has tools and potions the other thinks they have a gift.

    The Systems Analyst/The Captain: The Analyst knows all that happens in the ship, The Captain thinks s/he does.

    The Seer/Fool may target anyone of any world they choose. the Fool will see the Seer as 'Devil' and the Devil as 'Seer/Fool'

    Ex: Green Fool targets Red Player D
    Result: Player D is Red Seer/Fool


    Role Match Seer:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Reader: It is quite easy to tell something about people just by the way they hold themselves in a conversation.

    The Scholar: Practiced in many arts the scholar knows much about most kinds of people.

    The Superstitious: Tea leaves, cats, clouds (when on a planet) random things can actually tell you about people.

    Picks a person in each world to test against the others.

    The role match seer would pick players in red blue green:
    player A in red
    player B in blue
    player A in green

    Result might come back as:
    role match in red/blue.

    'Match' List:
    • Seer/Fool, Devil, Match seer (either kind if alignment was still in)
    • Banner, Beast
    • Mason, Wolf, Lovers
    • Town, Voider


    Baner:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Commander: With the strongest psionic presence in the physical plane it is no wonder that the human race has lasted this long.

    Learned Assassin: Knowing how to kill a man is knowing how to keep him alive.

    The Stowaway: Hiding for so long gives one the knowledge to hide others without then evening knowing it.

    The Baner targets one player that player will be safe for the night and next day in all worlds. Being protected in one or more worlds gives the player the confidence to protect themselves in others.


    Voider:
    Spoiler
    Show
    The Warden: No one would dare make a move under the watchful eye of the warden.

    Kidnapper: He's just a bit lonely a night, you can't really blame him.

    Hacker: Stopping someone from moving around the ship, or maybe just moving files around the system it is all easy to the hacker.

    Wolf Team

    Devil:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Seeker: With sight of the mind The Seeker knows all that can be known of its target.

    Dungeon Master: Everyone has a breaking point and s/he can find it. friends, family, someone always knows something about someone.

    Parasite: This body knew much of computers it is the best one the Parasite picked.

    The Devil like the Seer and Fool may target people in other worlds.

    Beast:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Hemokinetic: A mutant capable of controlling the blood around them, their wounds erupt in fountains of liquid blades.

    Jester: The death of the queen has driven the jester mad, he will kill the anyone that comes near him before killing himself.

    The Egg: The normal incubation time this Parasite egg is five years. If the body is killed before that time the fledgling will latch on to the nearest living organism.

    When lynched randomly kills one player that voted to lynch them.

    Wolves:
    Spoiler
    Show
    Mutants: With mind made camouflage the Mutants made it into the last bastion of man, and with sub-vocal communication they will engineer its downfall.

    Royal Guard: Loyal to the true queen the Royal Guard will do anything to protect her.

    The Infected: Bodies previously housed by the Parasite, they now hold its young.

    Along with the kill (that must be in their world) the wolves must choose which one of them will carry out the kill.

    An interesting idea. I'm eager to see how this plays out.

    One thing, though, that might be an issue. There'd be a rule that if a player is dead in one world, he shouldn't interfere in that world. So to avoid dead players in one world, but still alive in others from being a network point.

    Confirm: each person is given 3 roles, but they can be any combination. So each is entirely independent of eachother, but not connected in anything other than voting. Then, at death, the other worlds actions are voided (if they are still alive). Once dead in a world, no voting, but the other world actions continue unhindered.

    Question: How does one "flee" into another world? Do they port their characters over and continue on in the same role, a cognate role, or do they come back to the original world after a time? Would voting/actions be in the original world, or is there no way to affect that? Do they return ever? How, exactly, does that work?

    Question: When would it start?

    EDIT: To clarify -- want to join. :)

    78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.The players were attacked individually on the road on the way to town by werewolves. To survive, they had to team up then and there without knowing anything about eachother (literally -- all character sheets were completed without other players' knowledge).

    Yes, that would have to be put in place, and any QT made will be remade if one of the players die.

    The wolds are their own. If you wish to color code them you may do so just be sure the vote stands out, perhaps by prefacing it with /VOTE/

    Yes, exactly as you say.

    The worlds are not physically connected in this setting. The bodies of the player will be hiding in the world they belong to (Red to Red etc.).

    Two weeks most likely, so the ninth of December, likely near the end of the day PST.

    It is just for the phase that they die, death at night voids actions death to lynch voids votes.

    Another one, do the powers affect all worlds? I mean, do the green seer learn about the target's green role or all three? And if the green and red seer target the same player, is interference going to happen?

    Also, why purple? Why not Blue (so it'd be RGB)?

    It's actually a lot less complex than it seems given the small amount of interaction between worlds. The main difference from just playing 3 classics is the possibility of defending someone in one world by attacking someone who's voting for them in that world in another world. I wouldn't think that'd happen too much though as it's not exactly hard to find it as a possible wolf tell in a situation where it'd actually matter.

    Forgot about that, The scry is only for one target in one world, the scry can be cross worlds. Interference would happen regardless of world if the same player is picked. This should be added to the seer/devil roles list shortly. Also of note is the change that was forgot to the baner, their protection is cross world as well as going into the next day (kill/vote bane).

    Edit: Also the wolves most choose who of them will go out on the hunt this can not be cross world.

    Purple seemed a more fun color, it could be changed if people want.

    Yes, it is a lot less complex from its original thought as well. This is more of a test run for the framework.

    That is true.

    I think I'm still going to be a bit confused. But, well, it's werewolf. If you aren't confused, you aren't paying attention.
    78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.The players were attacked individually on the road on the way to town by werewolves. To survive, they had to team up then and there without knowing anything about eachother (literally -- all character sheets were completed without other players' knowledge).

    Having the third world be blue will help make my characters' speech color distinct from the voting color and the speech color of the other worlds.

    "Red world gets orange text"

    "Green world gets olive text."

    "Blue world gets purple text."

    Or something along those lines; I'll figure it out by the time the game starts. Anyway, in.
