Anyone would be welcome to participate.

We just want to stress that it will be kept clean (i.e., no profanity, dirty references, etc.), and that the process is very straightforward. The only vote manipulation is that Thomas' vote is worth more, and the only secret is Emily's power. Plus, it would be the first time Eloh would be hosting, and she has no desire to maintain a complex thing like Masters of the Universe was. Frankly, I don't blame her!

That's why we say it'd be great for newer and younger players. But anyone is welcome! After all, there are eighteen roles to fill!

Eloh's already written the introduction, and it sounds exactly like the TV show. Very good!

Maybe a good one for my wife to learn on.

Yes, I agree. If it weren't for LittleTiger and thellama73, I don't know how I would have made it through MOTU as my first game.

You are welcome. I had Andrew and my son, Simon, specifically in mind for this game. Simon has really gotten into Mafia since I started playing. I am working on the opening story at the moment. I am quite excited

I'd use the original book illustrations ...but never mind...your baby. I will be in.

I would have liked to, but my husband could not find ones that looked uniform and were clean looking. And, I would be glad to have you come along on our Sodor adventure.

Thomas the Tank Engine Mafia is meant to be a fun and kid-friendly game. There is no vote manipulation except for what is mentioned in Thomas' role description and no secrets except for Emily's special ability. It will be a great game for new and experienced players alike.

Thomas the Tank Engine Mafia

The Sodor Steamworks



Thomas – He’s a really useful engine!
Being really useful, Thomas is always helpful and convincing. His vote each Day is worth three.



Percy – Junior engine who is learning the ropes and pulls the mail cars.
Percy has the opportunity to take on a new steamy ability each Night, but can use the ability only once!



Gordon –The proud engine who pulls the Express.
On two occasions, Gordon can pull another engine with him along the Express line, protecting himself and his target from all Night actions.



James – Vain and egotistical, he likes to tell others what they can and cannot do.
James may role block anyone at Night.



Henry – An old accident-prone engine who is unwell at times.
On one occasion, Henry may switch the decommission vote to any player of his choice.



Edward – A grand old back engine who even gets along with the Troublesome trucks!
Targets anyone each Night, helping them pull their load and giving that player twice their ability the next Night.



Toby – The old trolley engine. “Well let’s say he’s square!”
Tracks anyone at Night, finding out who that person targeted.



Emily – The newest member of the Sodor Steamworks just wants to be included!
*Secret*


Narrow Gauge Engines
These smaller engines will search for one another each Night. If they find one of their own, they earn permanent BTSC.


Skarloey


Rheneas


Sir Handel


Peter Sam


Rusty


Duncan


Dirty Diesels
Have BTSC and scrap a player each night.



‘Arry – Biff!
Biffs someone each Night, making their talk silly!



Bert – Bash!
Bashes someone each Night, blocking that individual!



Mavis - A feisty diesel engine, Mavis doesn't take kindly to advice.
If Mavis is targeted by anyone at Night, she will know the player who came after her!


Diesel 10 – All of the other engines are afraid of Diesel 10, and Diesel 10’s claw, “Pinchy!”
He uses Pinchy to prevent someone from voting the next Day.

The Fat Controller



Sir Topham Hatt
Cannot be lynched or Night killed. Each Night, may direct the target of one of the engines as he sees fit. Loses his position if there is too much confusion and delay (that is to say, all eight main steam engines are lost).
