Diablo Mafia: Game Information

[Jason Maher]

I'm putting this up now so people can have a read. I've basically combined elements of an RPG and the Diablo universe with Mafia, and the result is a fairly complex game, at least by Mafia standards. No prior knowledge of Diablo, Diablo II, or Diablo III is assumed. Any necessary information will be provided via PM and/or write-ups. You may be able to dig up a clue or two though. ;-)

If you're interested in finding out more about the games and the universe, I recommend www.diablowiki.net. Here are some particularly pertinent pages (warning: many, many spoilers for all 3 games):

Diablo
Diablo II
Diablo III
The world of Sanctuary
Tristram

Diablo II character classes:

• Amazon
• Assassin
• Barbarian
• Druid
• Necromancer
• Paladin
• Sorceress

The 7 Lords of Hell:

• The Prime Evils:

- Diablo, Lord of Terror
- Mephisto, Lord of Hatred
- Baal, Lord of Destruction
​

• The Lesser Evils:

- Duriel, Lord of Pain
- Andariel, Maiden of Anguish
- Azmodan, Lord of Sin
- Belial, Lord of Lies

​

Blizzard's own game guides might also worth a read: Diablo II, Diablo III.

Awesome. When's the eta for this one? If it runs past the 14th could I chuck my role at a dead player if I survive? Really want to play at least a bit of this one.

I shall play this theme with vigour

 

[Pugzley]

Pm me when this bad boy comes to life. I shall play this with vigor.

Probably in a week or so, depending on how long Mis' game goes. I actually re-wrote my game from scratch while at work last night (yep, was really busy). Finally got something workable, I think. The Diablo games have an awful lot of complexity under the hood, and trying to reduce that down to something that works as a forum game wasn'tt easy.

 

[Parra Pride]

Can I be an ice sorc please.

 

[Misanthrope]

Can I please be an MF Sorc? I'll spend my time doing Pindle runs and Meph runs.

 

[Jason Maher]

Wait and see what the options are first, eh? ;-) Suffice to say, I'm not running the full 210 skills from Diablo II.

 

[Parra Pride]

Frozen Orb or gtfo.

 

[Jason Maher]

I was tossing up between Frozen Orb and Blizzard for one of the sorc's main skills. Thanks for making my decision for me. Blizzard it is.

 

[Parra Pride]

I hate you.

 

[Jason Maher]

What a merkin. I typed up a whole heap of shit the other day, but obviously forgot to save the edit. Phail.

 

[Misanthrope]

You n00b

 

[Parra Pride]

That's karma for not using Frozen Orb.

 

[Misanthrope]

You can get sign-ups up whenever you're ready, mate.

 

[Jason Maher]

I'll put a sign-up thread up tonight. Game won't start til next week sometime though. A lot of information to type up and make sure people understand before we can roll. If someone wants to run a speed game to fill the time, feel free.

 

[Parra Pride]

Pfft, let them flounder with no information, the informed among us will rule Diablo mafia like gods.

 

[Jason Maher]

Just had comfortably my most shit day in several years, hence no sign-up. I'll endeavour to get one up in the next few days, but no promises. My wife needs my attention right now more than you lot.

No worries, mate. Hope she's well.
