Though only remembered by the dwarves and the oldest residents of Lake Town, this mythical creature is still the terror of the East. He is covered in impenetrable armor and can breathe gouts of flame.
Secret

Right now we're looking at 37 roles, though that can be cut to close to 30 if there are problems getting enough people to join.

The story picks up just east of the Misty Mountains, after a daring escape by Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin, and company, as the group arrives at Beorn's house. Night polls have various results and may not occur every night. There will be riddles some nights as well, with rewards for correct answers.

One unusual thing is, because of Gloin's power, I will need access to all BTSC chats, so I will likely make it mandatory that we use Chatzy for those. If you don't like it, don't be a baddie. :p Another note is that teams may not pool gold in this game, even if they have BTSC. Each individual player earns or receives their own gold.

This will be a complex game, so I'm expecting to have my hands full as a first-time host. I'm really looking forward to it and hope you guys are as excited as I am!

Re: The Hobbit Mafia [FULL GAME}

Yeah, mine could have up to 2 kills a night, or more depending on Beorn. I know 37 is really optimistic, but I'd be just as happy at 30 if it comes to that.

Welp, everything's up! I reserve the right to make minor tweaks, though. Let me know what you guys think, and make sure to vote for this in the hosting poll if you like what you see!

While reading it I used to daydream about The Shire and Avallone. I had started a Hobbit game for RM but they have not had a poll in forever so its likely it will never be played. Now I can play this one!

Great idea Russti!
I forgot to respond to this post before. That's SO cool that you had a first edition copy, Rox. And it's a bummer your game never got off the ground! Hopefully this one lives up to your high expectations. :D

Thanks, llama (and everyone)! Not all the images will be from that, but I think it's highly underrated as well.

Mongoose, I am actually experimenting with a mechanic to get Lobelia in, but I'd probably only do that if the response was overwhelming and I thought we could get 40+ players, which I think is highly improbable. Otherwise poor Bilbo would be beset on all sides and probably lose.

Re: The Hobbit Mafia [FULL GAME}

Yup! Not to worry, all twelve will be there. I promise more than one baddie (more than one baddie team, actually) and some more fun roles too! I just ran out of time to post them all today.

I'd be excited to have you play! :D

Re: The Hobbit Mafia [FULL GAME}

Thanks! I have to figure out how to add pictures to it, too. I think the Hosting Thread kind of inspired everyone to speed up their work so they don't have to wait 2 years to host! :p

I'm not really familiar with Flash personally, but your game looks really fun! Anything that says "as close to civ as there will be in this game" makes me really intrigued.
