I also just moved our game commentary thread into the Graveyard forum (wasn't there for the dead players to see at the time ofc)

Host commentary: http://www.ndimforums.com/frightnight/thread.asp?threadid=5&pagenum=1&pp=15

That's an excellent point. I'm not sure we lynched anyone based on any night actions?

Excellent game guys! Loved it.

Not ONCE, which is crazy when you think about it. By design really, we aimed for a different type of game

I'll go into it more tomorrow with some post-game/balance write up

that was a really run game. i always prefer when i can try and figure things out like i could here.

The Thing board was a great read!

Timmah killed himself not me 😂

Shadow

+

You are Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street Played by: Shadow Alignment: Town Role: Surveyor You became a murderer in Springwood notorious for killing children. The parents of Springwood took justice into their own hands and killed you by setting you on fire, which caused your melted-like facial features. After your death you began killing the children of the city in their dreams. During four nights of your choosing, you will be told the total amount of players who take no visiting action during that same night. You will be told the number at the start of the next day.

Henry

+

You are The Creeper from Jeepers Creepers Played by: Henry Alignment: Town Role: Creep You are a demonic monster that comes out of hibernation every 23rd Spring for 23 days. During those 23 days you sniff out your prey, feed on them, and claim the body part from them that you desire. Whatever you eat becomes a part of you. Just after the end of each day phase you will receive a list of any deceased Town role from that day and previous night. You may choose one of the roles and use it as your own role for that night. It must be a role with an active night ability. Once you choose, all unchosen roles from that phase will expire.

Shawn

+

You are Ghostface from Scream Played by: Shawn Alignment: Town Role: Meta You often call your targets to taunt or threaten them while using a voice changer that hides your true identity. Although your motivations have ranged from revenge and seeking fame to "peer pressure", you have always had the goal of killing Sidney due to a chain of events indirectly caused by her mother Maureen Prescott. Each night you may choose one player. If this player dies that night, meaning you accurately predicted their death, you will become immune to any kills that same night. You cannot choose yourself.

TiB

+

You are Norman Bates from Psycho Played by: TiB Alignment: Town Role: Mason You are Norman, you went insane due to the manipulation and mental abuse of your mother, and were driven over the edge when she dated a man named Chet Rudolph; you killed them both, only to develop a split personality disorder, with "Mother" being your other personality. You killed three women and one man until being taken to an asylum in 1960; you made a full recovery and were released, but later lost your mind again and continued killing people under your "mother's" control. Together with your fellow masons, you can talk privately about the game.

Jackie

+

You are Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist Played by: Jackie Alignment: Town Role: Celebrity You are Regan, one of Pazuzu's most important possession victims. He first came to you when you were 12 years-old, after you had dabbled with a Ouija Board. You slowly begin to be possessed by him. You tried to defend yourself, but the demon became stronger and stronger, until he had your mind and capability to communicate under his control. In your desperation you finally marked in your belly the words "HELP ME" as your only way to communicate with the outside world. Once in the game you may post ##Claim Celebrity. You will be publicly revealed as the Town Celebrity and receive an additional lynch vote during the day phases.

im317

+

You are Jaws from Jaws Played by: im317 Alignment: Third-Party Role: Survivor You are Jaws, a ravenous Great White Sharks of abnormal size and ferocity that terrorizes Amity Island. You attacked a female swimmer before proceeding to wreak hacov on the small island, taking a small child and other swimmers victim to your massive appetite. Your win condition is to be alive when the game ends. You can win with any alignment, so long as you are living when they win.

Rose

+

You are The Candyman from Candyman. Played by: Rose Alignment: Town Role: Puppeteer You are The Candyman, a man who has risen from the grave and became a wrath-driven specter because of the grievous tragedy surrounding your death, having been murdered under unjust pretenses. For personal revenge, you have resorted to haunting the land where you had been executed. But, rather then reduce the land of Cabrini Green as uninhabitable, you prefer to keep your victims in the dark, unaware of your presence until they make the mistake of doubting your presence. Each night you will chose two players. The first player will be motivated to attempt to kill the second player during the night phase.

Timmah killed himself not me 😂

The survival that night was indeed Timmah attacking himself

And for poor poor Wikey, your redacted Gizmo role:

Get Wet: Visit Jaws
Direct Light: Werewolf
Eat After Midnight: Hannibal

Those were the three rules that couldn't be broken from Gremlins. Visiting Jaws (317) would get you wet from the ocean. Visiting the werewolf (Darkus) would cast you in the full moonlight. Visiting Hannibal (Kat) would allow her to serve you up a tasty meal

wikey you really needed to dumb that claim down for us(me)

hey guess what i was town

I can't believe it

Very fun game, TY

I almost visited IM with my last action too! But I chose Ahoda instead

Josh and I really wanted to add flavor to link your character's backstory with the role we gave that character for your bios, but it would've been too tricky. It would've made it too easy for people to slip up when claiming I think. If someone claims something suuuuuuuper specific like "I taunt someone at night in my private forum and kill them because I make them see what they're most afraid of", then everyone will know that person was Pennywise if they know anything about that character

So sadly we had to keep all that stuff out. Some of it was obvious, but here's some of the ones I liked. These might not mean much to you unless you've seen the movies:


- Jason Voorhees (Kenny) and Norman Bates (TiB) bonded over their dead mommy issues as masons

- Freddy Krueger (Shadow) saw who didn't leave their house that night because Freddy sees who's SLEEPING

- Pennywise (Sock) murdering their victim by scarring them to death with whatever frightens them most

- The Creeper (Henry) eating body parts from victims and absorbing them as apart of himself

- Ghostface (Shawn) predicting who will die in the movie based on typical slasher meta archetypes

- Jaws (im317) as Survivor who wasn't apart of the main villain group which was entirely based on meta if you've been following along with the Jaws horror movie arguments around FE

- Samara (JJ) cursing someone with the creepy video tape. Kat was sent the classic creepy "7 Days" audio from the movie and things only got worse for her

- The Entity (Primate) from It Follows. A slightly confusing write up. In the movie the entity follows someone indefinitely unless they pass the curse off to someone else. Primate would track one person until they visited someone else, then he'd track that person until they visited someone else, and so on

- Candyman (Rose) who takes control of the main character of the movie and forces her to kill on his behalf

- Deadite (Zach) who could taunt the mafia with messages. The deadites are notorious for taunting the human characters throughout the movies and trying to play tricks on them


Pretty much every character had some hidden flavor link to their role but those were some of the ones that we thought matched up best
