Delap put too much work into this setup for us to never use it again.
@bkisok do you want to run this for us? Seems right up your ally. Or would you rather play?
Set-up:
With 10 players - 7 Fellowship, 3 Forces of Darkness
With 11 players - 7 Fellowship, 3 Forces of Darkness, 1 Other Role
With 12 players - 8 Fellowship, 3 Forces of Darkness, 1 Other Role
With 13 Players - 8 Fellowship, 3 Forces of Darkness, 2 Other Roles
With 14 Players - 9 Fellowship, 3 Forces of Darkness, 2 Other Roles
With 15 players - 9 Fellowship, 3 Forces of Darkness, 3 Other Roles
With 16 players - 9 or 10 Fellowship, 3 or 4 Forces of Darkness, 3 Other Roles
Characters:
The Fellowship:
The Fellowship will include Gandalf, Aragorn, and Frodo. The rest will be randomly selected from the characters below.
Gandalf the Grey: If killed (by either faction) he will return as Gandalf the White in a set amount of time (example: lynched on Day 1, will return for Day 2. Killed on Night 1, will return for Day 3)
Aragorn: A ranger from the North. He can investigate any one individual at night. OG Cop role. Can detect Sauron.
Boromir: The bodyguard, will give of himself to protect the Fellowship and the Hobbitses. May protect one person each night.
Legolas: Bowman. Has 2 arrows that can be fired at night (can use both on the same night, if he wishes)
Frodo Baggins: Holding the One Ring, he can disappear at night once to protect himself from any attacks. However, if he tries to use the ring again, Sauron (if still alive) will be able to detect him and his identity will be revealed to the forces of darkness. If Sauron falls, it means the ring was destroyed, so Frodo loses this power at that time.
Gimli: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Merry: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Pippin: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Sam: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Eomer: Strongman of the Rohirrim. The Veteran. Can be on alert twice at night. Any visitors will be killed (except Sauron, Eowyn, and Aragorn, who are immune to his power)
Eowyn: The Doctor. Her touch in the Houses of Healing will cure anyone she wishes to visit at night.
Theoden King: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Faramir: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Elrond: Vanilla Fellowship (player will not be told who they are, but will have the name assigned to them, in event Tom Bombadil/Saruman is in the game)
Forces of Darkness:
The Forces of Darkness will include Sauron and then random selection.
Sauron: The ruler of Mordor. Can be discovered by Aragorn. Can discover Frodo if Frodo uses the One Ring for a 2nd time. Cannot be killed be Legolas, Boromir, or Eomer.
Saruman: The White Wizard. Using the Palantir, he can investigate a member of the Fellowship each night. As the Palantir corrupts and does not give the entire truth, he will be told the race of the member of the Fellowship, but not the exact name. (For this category, Aragorn will appear as both man and elf, so a discovery of “human” could be Aragorn, Boromir, Faramir, Theoden, Eowyn, or Eomer, a discovery of “elf” could be Aragorn, Elrond, or Legolas. Gandalf, the Balrog, and Tom Bombadil will be outed as “eternal beings”. Gollum will be outed as a “hobbit”. Gimli and Shelob will be outed as “cave dwellers”)
Witch-King of Angmar: The hitman for the Forces of Darkness until he is eliminated. The first Vanilla Fellowship member killed by the Witch-King will return as a Ring Wraith on the side of Darkness. If this occurs, the Fellowship will not be notified of which user died, simply that that specific character (Merry, for example) has fallen to the Darkness. The Ring Wraith becomes allied with the Darkness, but can be lynched during the day like anyone (or killed by Legolas at night). However, the Ring Wraith will die if Saruman is eliminated. The Witch-King will be killed if he attempts to kill Eowyn.
Grima Wormtongue: The deceiver. If he targets or is visited by Aragorn at night, Aragorn will be told a lie (if he is targeted, he will show up as a vanilla member of the Fellowship. If he targets Aragorn at night, Aragorn's investigation will come back with bad information)
Gothmog: The Janitor. The deceased will be launched from a trebuchet into the walls of Minas Tirith, rendering their role undecipherable.
Grishnak: Vanilla Mafia
Mouth of Sauron: Vanilla Mafia
Other Roles:
Gollum: He just wants his precious back. His goal is to kill Frodo. He will be told who Frodo is. He wins the game if Frodo is lynched (regardless of the ultimate outcome of the game.) He loses if Frodo is killed at night when he is not involved. If Frodo is lynched, his goal is to simply survive until the end, for he cares not about sides, he has his precious. He now has the One Ring and can disappear at night (one time). Like Frodo, if he uses it a 2nd time, he will be discovered by Sauron. If Frodo is killed at night, Gollum loses his mind and hurls himself into Mount Doom at dawn, dragging someone with him (his choice, Sauron is immune to death in this fashion) He doesn’t care who it is, as he has already lost the game.
Tom Bombadil: A merry, gentle man of the woods… who can become fiercely protective of those in his care. His goal for the game is to protect the Hobbits. Each night he can protect a hobbit (he won’t know which user he is protecting, just the character) from attack. The attacker will not die, nor will Tom, when he shields a hobbit from death. He wins the game with the Fellowship.
The Balrog: A creature of darkness and flame, the Balrog simply exists to serve evil. While not included in discussions for the Forces of Darkness, the Balrog wins when they do. The Balrog has 2 kills to use during any night (including on the same night, like Legolas). The Balrog can be lynched or killed at night.
Shelob: The Queen of the Spiders. Like the Balrog, is not included in discussions for the Forces of Darkness, but wins when they do. Silences all who visit her lair at night (meaning multiple people could be silenced) for 2 days. Does not target victims for silencing at night. Cannot be killed at night.
