Obligatory please don't use the entire ruleset here on 17s until I get a chance to run it.

Also, if something similar has already been done before lmk so I can look at it. Too similar and I might not want to run it, similar enough and I can learn what works and what doesn't from it.

Scadrial vs Roshar Cold War: The Nalthian Proxy Incident

Flavor incoming. Role names and abilities may not match standard SE roles.

 

Alignments:

2 equal sized factions, plus possible vagabond.

• Each faction Scadrians/Rosharans gets a factional kill via vote when they have fewer members, in case of ties, both factions vote on a combined kill unbeknownst to them. Alignments are not announced when players die/are execed. Factions win when the other faction is eliminated.

• Hoid only exists in odd player counts. Gets x kills depending on the player count. Selects which faction each kill is from, but not what player. Wins when at parity with both factions. During day cycles, Hoid may see whether a given player is in the majority party(after the exec), ties returning yes.

 

Roles:

Each faction has identical distro of roles, Hoid may also have a role

• Connector/Truthwatcher can select two characters during day to see if their alignments match

• Trueself/Windrunner can block exactly 2 kill votes at night if the/a leading selection would be from their team, but one of those votes is redirected at them. This ability must explicitly be used ahead of time. It does block if the leading target is themselves. (if two or more leading selections are from their team, one vote each from 2 targets is removed)

• Leecher/Decayform can roleblock a chosen player during either day or night.

• Nicroburst/Stormform doubles a chosen other player’s exec vote.

• Rioter/Lightweaver can redirect a kill vote to match theirs.

• Kandra/sleepless once per game can vote on the other faction’s kill.

 

Day cycle actions:

• Exec vote

• Hoid faction check

• Connector/Truthwatcher check

• Leecher/Decayform roleblock

• Nicroburst/Stormform vote double

 

Night cycle actions:

• Kill vote

• Hoid kill(s)

• Trueself/Windrunner vote block

• Leecher/Decayform roleblock

• Rioter/Lightweaver vote steal

• Kandra/sleepless double vote

 

Misc:

• Player PM’s closed, completely.

• Exec votes may be received via GM PM, but votes in the main thread trump votes in PM

• Kill votes via PM

• Roles and Alignment not announced on death, but instead at game end.

Open to feedback for sure. I'm still new to the SE scene in general.
