I’m starting recruitment now for WWJ VIII ~ Things That Go “Quack” In The Night

I’ve set up the thread, with an introductory post to give you an idea of the concept. And, um, the kind of narration you can expect from me.

This game will have:

3 Wereducks
1 Owl (Seer)
1 Hawk (Hunter)

And, if there are enough players, possibly a Nightingale (Protector), Goose (Cobbler) or even something else. I am not expecting a high turn out though, so if I get 12 players I’ll be happy. I would toy with the idea of Lovebirds but that would need more than 15 players, so maybe sometime in the future. For now, I really only have the Owl and Hawk as definite gifteds.

I have some tricks up my sleeve, so this should prove to be a very interesting game.

A few things up front: I will not reveal the Owl/Seer until the end of the game. That means, if/when s/he dies, s/he will only be listed as a Villager. S/he is welcome to declare Owlness in the game, but it will not be verified by me. The Hawk/Hunter of course with be revealed by virtue of taking someone else down. The Owl will not be told who the Hawk/Hunter is, just that s/he is innocent. The same would go for any other possible gifteds. All will be revealed only at the end of the game.

As for start time, I suspect it will take a while to get enough players, so I’m setting my sights on after Farael’s game is completed (unless I’m surprised by a quick sign up) but before LMP’s game. I’d like to fit this in between the next two senior games. Especially since I’ve already signed up for LMP’s game.

When signing up, please name a species and an occupation/characterization for yourself. This village is anachronistic and of mixed-species. Hobbits, men, elves, dwarves, even “reformed orcs” are welcome, as are more modern occupations, if you so wish. Basically, it’s a going to be a crazy mixed up mumbled up shook up world (except for my Lola, Lo-lo-lo-lo-looolaaaaa *cough* sorry) and the characterizations should reflect that.

I’m really excited about this, and thoughts of how to play with the narration have been percolating for a few weeks, so I hope it’s infectious.
