At previous PWYF I've run midnight Ultimate Werewolf (once in a pirate costume) or my homebrew social game based on John Carpenter's The Thing, suitably called The Thing. My older son has been on my team in recent years and this year he is going to stay with me until 3:00am. He is also an experienced Ultimate Werewolf moderator, so he and I were wondering if there was any interest in a midnight Ultimate Werewolf this year.At a school camping trip last year, he and I ran a 48 player game of Werewolf, where we each had a village of 24 players. One had werewolves among its villagers; the other village had vampires among its villagers. Each night vampires and werewolves feed as per usual, and in the morning there is the usual hanging (and burning), but there is also an exile, where someone from one village is kicked out and has to go join the other village. This can result in vampires in the werewolf village and vice versa, but also special roles moving between villages, and, most importantly, information and paranoia moving across. At the campground, we were far enough apart that neither village could hear what was going on in the other. The info only came with the exiles. We ran this 48 player, two village game in under 2 1/2 hours. In order to run this at PWYF, we would need a minimum of 26 committed people; a max. of 48. This is an elimination game so your commitment is 30 minutes to 2 1/2 hours, depending on when you get eaten, hung / burned. You do not have to stick around if you get eliminated, but you are welcome to do so.Due to the amount of preparation involved, we ask that if you are interested then please respond to this post. You can respond on behalf of your whole team. If we have the 26 people minimum then we will prepare and proceed. If not, no worries. It ain't everyone's cup of tea. The game would begin at midnight, so please plan your schedule accordingly.One final note-- I am not familiar with the space in the new venue. If someone involved with PWYF knows the venue and thinks this large game requiring two distinct spaces would not be appropriate for this space then please let me know and we will not do this game.
I am ABSOLUTELY interested in this. I will play every character, if necessary.
Can you add Captain Sonar at 3:00 AM please, 8 spots available
