Yeah, basically any game that requires a gamemaster, with its own structured rules and mechanics and such, with a determined number of players fit the bill. It's too strict for the Playground, since PG is more of a lax post-n-go environment, has the same level of seriousness as the UG, but not mafia, and is more lenient than RPT which needs everyone to contribute to the output, unlike the games hosted here, which is usually only shouldered by the GM.

So can we call these "Tabletop-Style Games" for the sake of having a fairly accurate and simple tag in the short term? I personally think a "Serious" tag would still be too vague and only conveys tone,, not type.

this discussion is basically dead but i think it should do fine in the playground. that's actually how i initiated bringing mafia to life. i got the word out here (via feedback & support) as well as a little advice, contacted the PG mods to see if i could have my thread stickied for visibility purposes, hit up those who expressed interest and look at mafia now. :)

def will be checking out some of the games y'all host

Hey, so, basically, I'm going to be requesting a prefix called Tabletop (and clarifying what type of game can use that prefix in the rules), but I want to get a game going, and it will be stickied.

Any of you got a game you want to start?

Oh, wish I had seen this earlier! I'd be all for a section like this. Or a subsection. Or even just promotion of big games. I've been wanting to try some more serious games.

so the more i think about it the less sure i am about the designation of "tabletop" just due to what kinds of things we're putting in- theyre so varied! but i. cant for the life of m think of a better name. can we brainstorm?

Saw this a bit late, but this seems much better than Tabletop tbqh. Game Master Chu, yeah sounds good {:3}. Speaking of good, Game Master Chu is almost done with his current Event & already has something planned, anyone interested?
