I would like to host a game. My title for this game will be Siege of the Dragon. As could perhaps be guessed, this would take place in a fantasy setting.
Revealable Info:
there will be a dragon
there will be wolves
there are no bastard roles*
Most people will have a role of some kind; some typical roles, others variant roles. Roles will have various levels of utility.
I have heard that Uberfish plans on next hosting a Game of Thrones variant. Therefore if he wants to host WW17, then perhaps I could wait to host WW18 instead.
In any case, could I perhaps have a tentative sign up for Advisor-Collaborators?
Thank you!!
I will later contact Collaborators via PM
Potentially I would like 21 people to sign up, but I can deal with much less and much more

I suppose everyone has different definitions of what a bastard role is, even as generic as "I do not agree that such a role should exist" however by standard definitions, I believe that a 'bastard role' would be a role that either lies to the player or causes an alignment conversion. As far as 'lying' to the player goes, there is certainly no role that would do something the player did not intend to happen. ie: try to protect someone and they end up dying (poisonous doctor), or someone that tries to kill someone and ends up protecting them. Typically, if you have an idea of what your power is used for, you are probably right. As far as alignment changes go, there will be no forcible conversions of alignment- ie: 'the cult' or any form of succession of arsonists. If you are your alignment, and your role says nothing of changing alignment, you will NEVER change alignment. All power abilities and alignment related abilities will be known from the beginning of the game, so no late-game face-turn surprises about your OWN alignment or power. A sleeper would follow these regulations, as the sleeper himself would know of the potential for alignment change.
I didn't read, but why don't you just privately ask some people for help? Mardoc is a good place to start, doesnt seem like he's playing ww games anytime soon. Seems like a bad idea to put this info out in the open if you're gonna run a game, even in spoiler tags.
Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.
I will play if you do it as 18 (I think uber has 17 and I'm looking forward to the GOT game), but I think its poor form to start a sign-up thread before the current game has ended, much less ask for sign-ups for a game 2 games in advance. Be patient, padawan. It will probably be 2 months or so before we play ww18 (depending on how big ww17 is) so there's plenty of time for you to write the game.

May I politely suggest running something a little less complicated for your first game? Large role heavy games are difficult to balance, and it's easy to run into situations where the GM has to make tough calls.
