Hunter X Hunter <3 (please don't use that lol, I'm already creating a mafia game with that theme)

Many fighting Anime series with lots of characters could work. Naruto, DBZ, Basilisk, Rurouni Kenshin, ...

---

btw as I said I'm creating a Hunter X Hunter mafia game and I'd like some help with it since I'm a newbie at creating games. I'm planning on adding some sort of "Shop" or "Buy" Phase where players buy cards to help themselves through the game. I'm seeking advice in abilities and balance specially. Anyone interested please send me a PM.

I've had a Fight Club Mafia in the works for ages. I always work on it, and then get busy. I just think Fight Club lends itself really nicely to the mafia structure.

Ever since I brought TDA back, all these old faces are showing, sweet.



Also, I would say what types of flavors i would prefer, but that will take some of the fun from my game, so you'll find out.

what is TDA? I'm here because EE keeps telling me to post, instead of just talk to him on AIM.

*sees pythag and dies*
I hope you weren't town!

The games I'm currently working on that have a good chance of making their way to DGames or greater SWF somehow are Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Mafia (very large), Lord of the Rings Mafia (very large), The Boondocks (medium), Sherlock Mafia (small), and Cowboy Bebop Mafia (small).

if i had to choose a run order it would probably be FMABM, Bebop, Boondocks, Sherlock, LoTR

A mafia based on a porno would be great. "You are the Jenna Jameson. Your abilities include scissoring one female mafia member to the death each night. You are town aligned and win when all threats to town are eliminated or nothing can prevent this"

Yes I'm joking.

I'd love to see a Dexter (Showtime TV show) Mafia game. It would be perfect.

Dexter would be the mafia boss, his goons would be Miguel Prado and Trinity, town cop would actually be a cop that's looking for dexter (Frank Lundy), town vig would be Doakes, Doc would be Matsuka, etc. Perfect if anyone knows about the show!

Also I can't believe nobody said Scarface, the goodfellas, casino, or any actual mafia movies. LOL.

that dexter setup is a complete and total mess

speaking of mafia movies, I made a Godfather setup that i like, but i will never run. I also made a The Departed setup that I almost ran but I had a depressive breakdown and /outed when it was my turn or something. I dont remember what happened exactly.

it suffers from meta something terrible

its a great setup. designed perfectly after the first movie. but if you know that it is the Godfather setup, it is completely meta-able.

i have never had that happen with one of my games before (besides maybe Bat-mafia 1 cuz I was an idiot back then) so I dont know what to do with it, and I dont want to change it because its great, so its in limbo. i often think about renaming everything in it and running it, and only later showing how its all The Godfather. lol.

I made a Cell Saga Mafia last night though and its pretty sweet xD
