I have two map options. I'll send them here later, but I'd really like some more lurker input this time around

I guess this is starting up, kind of. 



I kind of think this is a dumb song, but it's what came to mind and I'm all about being inspired by stuff.  So, I guess my cities are going to driving songs.  Any suggestions for songs?   There's a lot of possibilities.

No clues as to what the naming scheme will be.

(Sorry for the delay with this; I intended to have it out last Saturday, but life happened.)

This game will be Pick your Characters 4, in the same vein as the first 3 (WW10, WW20, and WW38), with thanks to and shameless stealing from uberfish who ran the first two. I'll take any number of players and create a setup based on the characters you pick. This is how it works.

Signups are closed.

Game start date will be a day or two after whenever I get the setup ready, or a day or two after WW47 ends, whichever is later. This game will not overlap with WW47, so if you are in that game you are welcome to join this one.

You can be any character you want, as long as they are primarily or substantially from a TV Show of some sort. I won't be too picky but don't try for obvious loopholes, say don't pick Luke Skywalker because he was in the Star Wars Holiday Special. (Though I now fully expect someone to pick a Wookie that was exclusive to the Star Wars Holiday Special). Also, please pick a character that should be easy enough to Google, so I can find out enough info about them to make the setup.

Here's how the game construction process works:

- You sign up in this thread.
- You PM your character choice (Name and source material) to superdeath, who will be working with me for this setup. Example: Red Foreman (That 70's Show)
- After signup closes, superdeath tells me the character names and I randomly assign their alignment. There will only be one traditional scum team. There may or may not be third party roles, possessed, traitors, etc.
- Then I assign powers. Don't think you can pick an assassin character and automatically become a vigilante, I might find a completely different role that still has to do with your character. Everyone will have at least one power.
- I won't know who is playing what character until the setup phase is done when superdeath sends me the full list. This prevents any unintentional bias in power assignment.
- Giving an alternate selection is wise, in case there's overlap in submissions, especially if you pick a very well-known character.
- Also assume normal WW rules like what's posted in front of every game we've ever done.
- Also based on feedback after the last game, and knowing that everyone will have a role, I will be doing my best to keep roles on the low power side. I.E. no unlimited shot Seer/Doctor/Vig/Roleblocker. Probably. I reserve all rights to break that rule if I feel it's necessary for game balance, but it is the goal I am striving for.

Thanks

If you are one of the other players in the game (Dale, And, fluffybunny, Nylen), no peeking unless you are eliminated or game ends!

turn reports coming soon...

After losing thrice with this particular combination, I can definitely say it's one of the weaker wizards, if not among the weakest. Sorcery and Chaos are both weak realms early game that rely on surviving until they get good stuff by the mid game. Barbarians lack any source of research outside of Wizard Guilds. This leads to many situations where they get stonewalled by an opposing wizard and have to wait for a good summon or tech to show up. But thanks to their awful research speed, they get beat in the tech competition by the time they unlock relevant techs. It doesn't help that besides Flame Blade, most early game buffs are irrelevant or situational for Barbarian units. And running into a Life wizard shuts them down completely, since Life can just turn its units into brick walls. It's especially bad when they run Barbarians too.

What do you all think?

New blood in the WW community!

Who has thoughts on the setup?

Who do you think will be the surprise breakout star from the newcomers?
