The unholy story of Count Giure "Grando" Stregone - sign-ups

I want to hold DDS's sword!

Look we all want to hold DDS's sword. Wield it, test its weight, polish the blade. But you have to wait in line.

This is what town looks like (if DDS was town) - those role's are still undecided as more can join if wanted::




But sign up closing soon (as soon the running game ends)!

[Devante]

I should be the only one to wield the town sword as I am always town. And the only proper way to wield such a sword can only be done so in one way, and other then myself by only one man...

Just proves by point. Inigo Montoya would never pull a move like that as neither would I. Therefore..."Hello DirtyDishSoap. My name is Devante. You tried to kill me a true townsman. Prepare to die."

Sonic for your illustrious upcoming game just count this as my vote for D1:

VOTE DDS SCUMLORD

Giure "Grando" Stregone translates to Law "Big" Sorcerer.
Make of this what you will.

Yes correct it means "Law "Big" Sorcerer" but Stregone is also the italian word that means "sorcerer" based on the ancient Greek "striga" from ancient legends (Borrowed from Ancient Greek στρίγα (stríga)).
In French, stryge means a bird-woman who sucks the blood of children. Jules Verne used the term "stryges" in Chapter II of his novel The Castle of the Carpathians, published in 1892. The Greek word Strix, Polish strzyga, Hungarian sztriga, and the Albanian word shtriga are also cognate. And then Bram Stoker used Striga legends to write his dracula novel.

I might as well just sacrifice myself, then

A lavish smorgasbord of exotic flavour notes to be sure.
Read up some more on Jure Grando: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jure_Grando He does sound like he was quite the character.

And they even made a movie about him! ...a short movie, ... a bad, short movie.

Never before has a film score leaned so heavily on Carmina Burana.
Half docu, half drama, but the male actors don't act at all, ..so the female lead makes up for it by acting a LOT.
Takeaway quote: "And really, since we're trying to get money form (sic) everything, why not from vampires?"

Serious Question: So with vampires, is there a cult element to this game?

Serious Comment: I just might try changing my play-style a tad. I'm telling everybody NOW, before casting, so nobody jumps to any assumptions about that.

What do you think?

PUT ON YOUR HATS BOYS! IT'S MAFIA TIME!

The game is written out and set in stone. Its crazy full moon role madness with the large community sword to play with

I wish to thank all participants to even dare playing this.

Expect experimental role play and custom roles in tradition to extreme role madness games,..

Ofcourse it could go south real fast but i tried to balance it in every crazy scenario i could come up with. Only problem is the supercrazy set up..

Disclaimer:
This is my first time modding, so I apologize in advance if I screw anything up. Role Madness games are difficult to balance, so its easy to burn them down or bad comment them but I tried to give everyone a chance and come up with the game i wanted to play myself. I expect a lot of crazyness. Just roll with it and make your own fun


Jajajaaaaaa!

Last hint to be given away in the sign up thread: count Grando has 4 arms each holding a sword so expect the SCUMOVERLORD to have...4 power roles

Ps: sign ups close this sunday !

[DirtyDishSoap]

I get 4 power roles?! Yeeeeeeah!

[Votanic]

I get 4 power roles?! Yeeeeeeah!

So then the Town Hero also gets four power roles too, ...right?

Town has the large community sword right?

[strike wolf]

I'll take one super powerful sword over 4 dull scum Swords any day. After all, 4 Swords couldn't save General Grievous from Obi-Wan's single sword.
