Assassin Game: Season of the Witch
Host: Placa
Story: 8/10, day posts were interesting to read, but not long enough to bore. Very few details revealed, and it didn't help in the slightest the village to figuring out the assassins, that's a mixed blessing.
Balance: Fair, slight favor, non-complicated. but leaning more to the assassins due to three of them, vs an equal amount of Goodies. Assassins should be the minority, not an equality. Losing both of the more important roles, the village more or less had 0 chance of anything if I wasn't there. And even figuring out picture perfect the assassins at a decent timing, we still couldn't get a single one lynched. Satan's ability to be undetected by the investigator could have been absoutly game breaking had pimp investigated and declared NG innocent, and then died revealing himself as a prophet. NG was caught because I snuff him out, but if he had been proved innocent, he would have never, ever been lynched.
In addition, the coin man. If RNG heavily favors one side, the host needs to right the scales and keep it balanced. Fate's fate, but fate isn't perfectly balanced whereas an AG strives to be.
System & Mechanics: Simple, basic, lacking to human/design error. The mechanics do not serve as a crutch for the village, leaving actually catching the assassins back to the basic layout. Some roles were interesting to suspect, but the mechanics themselves were never used. Half the game felt like it was missing.
Overall Grade: 7/10
Positive Attributes: Good choice of assassins. Good day posts, and an interesting cast of characters.
Negative Attributes: Half of the mechanics that would have made this AG unique, were never used.
Additional Comments: Need to work on making the mechanics more used. The game was an assassin game heart-to-heart and won't stand out game-wise from other games made like this.
Good game overall, was fun, but exactly like every other AG I played since everything that made this AG unique was either not used, or completely hidden to the point no one would have ever guessed it.
