I was thinking about a future game inspired by Reservoir Dogs. Scum could chat through a chat room using aliases but would not know each others real identiies.
This is rough as I only started thinking about it today but what do people think of the idea?
Reservoir Dawgs
Back story:
Joe thought it was a done deal when the old man called him upstairs. He smiled knowingly as the old don told him he was backing away from the business. Getting out slowly handing over some of the operations to the only man he could trust. The next sentence hit him like a ton of bricks. The old man was handing things off to his friend and confidant Vincenzo Coccotti. This was a slap in the face; his own father giving away what should rightfully go to him. Angry he demanded to know why. What more could he do to prove his worth? The don told him not to worry; all would be his in time. “Have patience Little Joe, it will all come to you when I decide you are ready.”
“Little Joe”, he hated that name, like he hated the old man, but right now all of his hate and rage focused on Coccotti. He couldn’t act openly against him but he was going to make sure that Coccotti would not be taking that which belonged to him. He decided to bring in some outside help to take care of Coccotti. To make sure this could not be traced back to him he assembled a team of independent contractors that would never meet face to face. All planning would be done through conference call and the only person who would know all the players would be Joe. The contractors would not know his true identity but would know him only as Mr. Big.
The plan was to reign down terror on a small town named ACville which was now part of Coccotti’s territory thereby making him look incompetent. That a few hapless citizens might get killed in the crossfire was not a concern for Mr. Big.
What Mr Big doesn’t know is that there are two threats within his little group. An undercover police detective and a vigilante who will kill any scum he can identify.
Roles:
Mr. Big – The only person who knows all the Dawgs. He can try and sway the team away from targets that are members of his group but has to be careful he doesn’t “out them “to the vigilante or the detective. He can also protect any player from the mafia hit. There is no protection from the lynch or from the vigilante hit.
Mafia Dawg – One of the independent contractors. You will be assigned an alias and can communicate with the other Dawgs in the chat room I provide. You have to be careful not to reveal your identity as the group has been compromised. Each night the team gets one hit .
Undercover Detective – You are innocent but have convinced Mr. Big you are a trusted member of his group. At least to the degree that Mr. Big is willing to trust anyone. You will have access to and can participate in the mafia chat. You are free to pass on any information you learn in this chat to the town through the thread or take any other action you deem appropriate to try and subvert the scums’ plan. . Obviously this would have to be done covertly because once you’ve been identified you will be sleeping with your fishes.
Vigilante - You are innocent but have convinced Mr. Big you are a trusted member of his group. You will have access to and can participate in the mafia chat. You will have one hit per evening but you do not have to use this hit if you do not want to.
Regular Townie – No special powers but you can vote each day to lynch one person. You must vote each day and you cannot vote for yourself.
