I talked to Mike Lica and he said it'd be fine for me to put this before you guys, so here I go!First, the TL;DR of it.
THIS GAME WILL BE FOR LEGIONS ONLY, SOLD FOR COST. I am not exploiting you. (Well, I mean, not financially!)
What I'm Doing: Making a party game using cards that tell you whether you're...
- a Stormtrooper
a Rebel in Disguise as a Stormtrooper
a Stormtrooper Commander, or...
a Bounty Hunter
- a Han Solo wearing a TK helmet. Feel free to pose a little.
a Luke Skywalker wearing a TK helmet. Feel free to pose a little.
I am basing this game on one called "ARE YOU A WEREWOLF?" or "MAFIA!" (they're the same game, really, but Werewolf is the one I'm more familiar with). It will be based loosely on the Death Star scene of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewie in Stormtrooper armor aboard the Deathstar (I already have a Leia and a Chewie for this).
In Werewolf, you're one of three things: a Werewolf, a Villager, or a Seer. In our game, this will be a Rebel, a Stormtrooper and a Stormtrooper Commander. The game will play like this:
You receive your card. You tell no one what your card says. Ostensibly everyone is a Stormtrooper.
The moderator (the guy who got the George Lucas card) has everyone close their eyes, saying "shifts change, all Stormtroopers close your eyes".
Once everyone's head is down and eyes closed, the moderator calls for the Rebels to open their eyes. The Rebels silently choose which Stormtrooper to kill. The Rebels close their eyes.
The Stormtrooper Commander is then ordered to open his eyes and silently select a Stormtrooper to interrogate for their TK-ID. The moderator tells them if they're a Stormtrooper (thumbs down) or a Rebel (thumbs up). The moderator tells the Commander to go to sleep.
The station then is all ordered to raise their eyes as the shift change completes, discovering a Stormtrooper has been blasted in the confusion by someone amongst them. The Stormies are trying to deduce who is hiding amongst them as a Rebel and airlock them, by a quick lynch-mob voting spree. More often than not they lynch another Stormtrooper!
You play until all Rebels have been executed, or until the Stormtroopers and Rebels are equal number, in which case the Rebels win. It's a fun game of intrigue and bluffing.

If interested in the project, please email me (bsessio (at) gmail (dot) com) with a straight-on photo as described above and your TK-ID or Rebel Legion ID (depending on if you're giving me a Rebel or a 501st costume, obviously).
Thank you for your time!
