Sign-Ups! - The Flash: Battle for the Gem Cities

Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2015 4:07 am
by Mister Rearranger
The once bustling twin cities of Keystone and Central have been home to many costumed heroes and criminals alike. Chief among those vigilantes were a couple of costumed heroes who took on the mantle of "The Flash", as well as a group of blue-collar criminals who collectively referred to themselves as "The Rogues".
For years, The Flash and The Rogues clashed over the backdrop of robberies, but both had an understanding and loyalty to their city. Now, a new group of foes are threatening the safety of this American heartland, with larger and more dangerous goals in mind. To top it all off, many formerly docile citizens and Rogues alike have started to act abnormally, committing increasingly more violent crimes.
Someone has broken the chief rule among The Rogues, and Wally West is joined by former Flash Barry Allen, as well as a mysterious activist named the Pied Piper in his race to save Keystone and Central, the Gem Cities. Meanwhile, Captain Cold gathers a group of his closest allies to clear his name and restore order to The Rogues.

Join The Flash and his bizarre gallery of opponents in a game of deception, dastardly deeds, and detective-work. Race against the fastest man alive to uncover or protect the mysteries of Keystone and Central in...

Battle for the Gem Cities

Role Call (25 players):
THE OLD ROGUES (6)
Their roles are as close to a "Civilian" Option that will exist in this game. They may be thieves and robbers, but they have a code of morals. As such, their only win conditions are to eliminate the vile New Rogues and stop Gorilla Grodd's rampage. If Grodd is dead, the New Rogues are dead, and any Old Rogues survive, they win the game.

Image
Golden Glider – Searching for her brother every night. If she finds Captain Cold, she will gain BTSC with him and Heat Wave. She may then continue to search for other Old Rogues. She cannot be killed by the Old Rogues.


THE INDEPENDENT ROGUES (6)
These characters wish to continue their schemes without being bothered. They will win simply by surviving until the end of the game.
Image

Image
Doctor Alchemy – *secrets*
Image
Magenta – She is a former love interest of Wally West and has magnetic abilities. She can prevent one lynch during the game. *secret*
Image

Image
Rainbow Raider – He targets a player each night to fire a beam of colored light at. If the beam hits an Old or Independent Rogue whose signature color matches the beam, *secret*. If these conditions are not met, *secret*.


THE NEW ROGUES (7)
As Central and Keystone Cities have developed over time, the villains who plague their citizens have become more and more ambitious. The New Rogues are, for the most part, concerned with spreading destruction and chaos around the twin cities, making a name for themselves by killing superheroes and villains alike. They must survive and eliminate all opposing factions to win the game.
Image
*Secret Role* – *secrets, secrets, and more secrets*
Image
Blacksmith – Searches to build her own group of Rogues. Every night she may search a player. If that player is a New Rogue, she will gain BTSC with them. However, if she searches and finds the Secret Role, *secret*.

Image
Tar Pit – A Rogue whose body is composed of sticky, molten tar. *secret*.
Image
Plunder – A marksman from the Mirror Universe. He kills on even nights. *secret*.
Image
Double Down – A compulsive gambler whose skin is covered in cursed playing cards. *secret*.


THE "ARCH-VILLAINS" :jedi: (3)
Each of these characters have been The Flash's biggest threat from time-to-time. They have unique conditions for winning that the Rogues are not aware of at this time.
Image
Professor Zoom (*secret*) – He wants to kill the Flash family more than anything else in the world. He’ll search every night for a Flash. *secret*.
Image
Zoom (*secret*) – He thinks he can make all the other heroes and villains “better”. Each night he will Protect one player. That player will be randomly rewarded or penalized as well. *secret*.
Image
Gorilla Grodd (*secret*) – He wants Keystone and Central City all for himself and his gorilla empire. He is the Serial Killer *secret*.


THE DETECTIVES (3)
Wally West and the recently resurrected Barry Allen have joined forces to track down the newest foe threatening their home cities. Using their law enforcement and forensic talents, respectively, they will win if they uncover the mystery of the Gem Cities, and if they manage to imprison the New Rogues. They may choose to imprison the Old Rogues as well, but it is not required.
Image
Wally West – He’s the fastest man on Earth. *secret*. He imprisons (kills) on odd nights.
Image
Pied Piper – A part-time Rogue who’s going undercover to help Wally and Barry. *secret*. He is given information every night by an informant that may be true or false. Each day, he can post a message about his findings.
Image
Barry Allen – An intelligent forensic scientist and the first Flash. Barry Role Checks a dead player every night, also picking a letter from that player’s name. The chosen letter is solved in all secret role descriptions.

Didn't read the roles. Didn't read much of anything. Always thought Flash was cheesy and impractical. No Merciless Ming. Oh wait, that's Flash Gordon. No Gordon Ramsay. I have to cook breakfast.

I've been dying to do a game with "puzzle" roles ever since John Hughes Mafia on LP. I hope this one can be just as exciting!

Thanks to everyone who's signed up so far. :beer: (I quit drinking many months ago, but these new smilies are the bees knees!)

A map game is a game that uses a map. You can visit various locations, do things, interact with people, maybe get BTSC, maybe only be able to target the people nearby. That sort of thing.

There is a map and you start somewhere on it and you get to move at certain times. In the one game I played with a map if you were in the same space as someone else you got to share BTSC. they are a lot of fun.

Well
now that you've cleared that up. hopefully things make more sense. The scope of this game looks interesting enough. I may sign up but I really am trying to take a break.

Good questions! :grin:

Epi beat me to it. You'll start in a square on a grid. The grid will be layed over a map that I based on these rough sketches of the two notable cities from the Flash's comics:

Image

So a grid of squares will divide a simplified version of that up, and you can move freely between them at the end of a day phase/right before a night phase.

Some squares will have interactive features to them, and different locations will offer unique opportunities to your characters. It was a daunting task to plan out, but it's been done really successfully in a couple of other games.

Okay, thanks for clearing up what a map game is. Sounds interesting.
Thing is, I'm going away in less than two weeks for over a week, where I will not have access to WiFi at all, so I'm not sure it will be fair for the other players if I disappear for a week like that. If the game starts later or something, I'll join.
