I like it.

It seems like a nice free-form to whittle away an evening with.

Also:
>The Welcoming, where the Count meets his guests after the slightly lurching manservant and his sister stun the players into silence with an over-the-top song and dance routine.

>>6343940
I was thinking that each guest-player writes down a modest fact regarding a guest's character then passes the sheet to the next player. When the number of facts on each sheet matches the number of guests, the vampire-player distributes the character-sheets as he sees fit.
In addition to being the Count, the vampire-player also describes with sumptuous detail the locations of play, and may also control the Count's lurching manservant.

It's fucking awesome OP.

>>6343883
I don't get it, who do you kill?

>>6343991
Con't.
The Count cannot eat, appear in reflections, suffer the presence of holy images for more than one scene, physically manipulate his Guests nor command his Manservant to do so on his behalf.
The Count can provide any manner of food, drink or gifts within reason (such as clothes, jewelry and other amenables). The Count may also excuse himself from any scene and eavesdrop unbeknown to the Guests.

The Guests cannot be openly insulting or excessively vulgar to one another or their host (it is openly insulting to accuse your host of being a vampire or suggesting his taste is decor is creepy). The Guests cannot physically interact with the count, nor his manservant without forfeiting. The guests cannot excuse themselves from the Count's presence without the Manservant in attendance, or, if neither are present, must remain where they have been situated.
Guests may make modest requests of their host, but nothing rude or overly demanding (gifts are given, not ordered). Guests may smoke and gentlemen may remove their hats and coats.

>>6344109
You don't, but you don't give that fact away to keep everyone on edge.

Ok, now I want to watch Dracula.

Maybe his manservant should be perfectly normal except for the fact that he works for a vampire.

>>6344221
I mean, where's the fighting and bad guys? What's the point in playing if you don't get to kill something?

>>6344239
If you're the vampire you get to kill all the other players if they don't get away.

>>6344179
How do the guests get to sneak away and explore the castle if someone is keeping tabs on them at all times?

...

Or would they believe that no one is keeping tabs on them, but in reality, the portraits eyes seem to be following their every move...

>>6344260
I'm just going to stop here. You are a good counter-troll.

>>6344265
I don't think they're meant to. It's just a game involving three conversations.

>>6344239
lololo

Dracula you say?

I'll start it in 5 minutes!

>>6343883
Will the Count be FABULOUS?

Do players leave the game as soon as they have an excuse? Or do their characters leave safely only at the end of the game (where everybody either leaves safely or gets exsanguinated)?

Because I think it should be the latter. It would suck if the reward for "winning" was having to leave the party and watch your friends continue to have a good time without you.

loli vampire tangentially related

So It's an improv game? Cool. I should mail this to my Acting prof.

>>6344308
Stealing another man's work, anon? Classy.

>>6344305
>your pic

Isn't that a character from Soul Calibur 4?

>>6344304
Depends if you're the Count or not.
>>6344305
You have a point. However, I would imagine that it would be difficult in the extreme to excuse only yourself for one of Count's faults and not permit the whole party to leave also. If you manage to leave indignantly and alone, congratulate yourself on your cunning.

In addition, the reward for being first out is being the vampire in the next round (the 'evening' probably lasting for an hour and a bit at most). Besides, having your character escape doesn't disallow you place in usual table conversation and sportsmanlike spectatorship in victory.

>>6344384
I can dig it. It seems like it'd be better as a roleplaying exercise than a game idea, though.

No one else up for watching some dracula?

Links above.

>>6344515
It's a game that uses roleplay.

>>6344555
I don't have a test for older cinema unless it's Twilight Zone or Gene Wilder.

>>6344384
Because bringing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure into every (even Dracula) would result in hilarity.

>>6344568
But, where's the rolling? There's no need for any combat or physical exertion and the conversation seems like it's going to have to come from the players themselves.

>>6344599
Chess is a game that does not involve dice, or indeed, any randomization.

It is a game in which roles are played. Role playing game.

>>6344625
Boy, you're frustrating to talk to.

>>6344633
6344625 here. I'm a different person. I was just pointing out why your expectation for random number generation was poorly placed.

Dracula and his BDSM powers.

>>6344654

>Implying any of us are different persons

>>6344681
Oh, right. Shit.

>>6344302

Best stream.

>>6344654
Typically, the games on /tg/ revolve around dice rolling. My assumption was not poorly placed.

>>6344654
My example was going to be Twister, but you got the point across.

I fail to see how this game ceases to function without dice or would be necessarily improved with their inclusion.

>>6344714
I SHOT YOU!
NO YOU DIDN'T!
I HIT!
YOU MISSED!

>In addition to being the Count, the vampire-player also describes with sumptuous detail the locations of play

So, on my turn, can my Count's castle be a eye-wateringly lavish display of oriental exoticism? Silk drapes, tassled cushions, ornate hookahs, vast clouds of scented smoke, and in the middle sits the count under a vast black turban with a raven's feather and flashing red stone.

>>6344742
Except you won't be shooting anyone. Just talking.

>>6344742
... This game does not involve shooting. It involves careful social maneuvering, which most people are better at than they think.

>>6344791
>>6344793
I believe he was just using that as an example. What would happen if say one of the guests offends another and they wish to go to fisticuffs?

>>6344714

Just think back to when your mother said she loved you, or liked your artwork.

>>6344841
That would benefit from boxing gloves, not dice.

>>6344841
OP. My official ruling for such situations (heaven forbid a nice dinner party degenerate into fisticuffs, especially after I wrote a rule forbidding blatant insulting of other guests) would be that the Count-player decides who of the combatants is victorious.

>>6344865
So, then it turns to LARPing? Well, I know some who are okay with it and others that will only partake with real violence.

I know even more that won't touch the stuff.

>>6344871
Fair enough. So the Count serves as a type of GM?

>>6344888
> Boxing = LARPing

Screw Dice,

R.P.S. for life!

>>6344913
This is the only way to LARP.

>>6344888
Yes. He is the unquestioned master of the house and, furthermore, is the only player allowed creative description.
He (or, indeed, she) defines and describes the entire set down to whatever level of detail he wishes. The Count, of of politeness, cannot stop you walking out of the front door should you find excuse, but the Count's player can certainly inform you that the bathroom window your Guest is attempting to escape from is simply too wide for her ample figure.

It's evil, yes. But in the kind of way that has a well-stocked drinks cabinet.

>>6344302

Everyone get in here.

>>6344951
Hurm...It's a good game idea and I'll be using it.

Thread archive?

>>6345006
Archiving now.

Tell me how the game goes. I'll be running it myself towards Halloween.

>>6345036
Will do, but it might be delayed. I have one trusty friend I can always call for a game and one flaky as fuck guy who makes Waldo look easier to find.

So, wait.
Did /tg/ just invent then complete a whole game in under two hours?

>>6345075
Yeah, it's simple enough and doesn't revolve around a set system. I'm going to use it to break people into roleplaying or whenever we just need to unwind or have time to kill. I'm sure other scenarios will arise out of this as well.

>>6345075

Hush you, the trolls will find out!

>>6345116
OP here.
Now I have converted Dracula into RPG form, tomorrow night I will convert Faust: the players will be demons in competition to gain as many human souls via bargain as possible. This will be for longer campaigns and will probably involve dice.
See ya then, /tg/.

>>6343883
I love this idea.
>>6345075
No. OP ran an idea for free-form role-playing by us, and we talked about it.

Im going to show Shadow of the Vampire next..

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0189998/

Max Schreck's performance in the classic film Nosferatu has become legendary. What if the reason he was so good is that he really was a vampire? That's the premise of this film

>>6345168
And who is OP, if not /tg/? There'll be like 3 guys who were in the thread and 2 of them will say, "Yeah, some guy came up with this idea" and one butthole will say, "yeah, I'm the guy who came up with that idea."

But who, oh who, is that butthole?

>>6345239
...the first poster already knew how his game was gonna work. /tg/ didn't add anything.

>I do not drink ... wine.

This would be a fantastic drinking game.

>>6345302
/tg/ isn't a sentient being. It's a collection of posts. He posted on /tg/, so it became a part of it.

This is how OC is born. It might look unfamiliar to you, because it's kind of hard to come up with good OC.

>>6345170
Speaking of Nosferatu, there's a free download of it here:
http://www.archive.org/details.php?identifier=nosferatu

>>6345355
I don't know why this is hard for you to understand, but the creative work happened before OP started this thread. The collective members of /tg/ didn't create anything.

Saging because this is a dead horse.

>>6345612
And, I'm trying to say that this still came out of /tg/. This is the source.

Hey fa/tg/uys OP just inspired me to buy this movie.

>>6346953
Import movie that was like last one in stock and almost impossible to find it in any other mainstream online store over here.

Feels good man!

Old 1930's Dracula streaming now bitches!

>>6343883

ROT-13, because /tg/ doesn't have spoiler text:

Gur Pbhag vf abg n inzcver.

(Not OP: just guessing.)
