KILLER at GenghisCon 2016

[stephen_dedman]

I enjoyed GenghisCon 2015 so much that I volunteered for two positions for GenghisCon 2016: running a Killer game, and co-programmer of panels. There will be at least one programming meeting later, but if you have any ideas for panels or want to volunteer for any that have already been suggested, please contact me, either by replying to this post,

Heh,
Something similar I have organised was a lot faster, but still drawing from the same "Who goes there?" themes.

SETUP
You get a group together in a (relatively) confined area (the surrounds of a set of cottages at a Terracon being an example)
You make up sets of slips in advance that say either "Victim" or "Monster" in a ratio of 3 or 4 to 1.
For every 4 players (approx) you put into a hat (Jar, whatever) 3 folded slips saying "Victim" and 1 saying "Monster" up to the maximum number of players (I tend to up the ratio in favour of victims if I'm hosting more than 12 players)

PLAY RULES
Explain the rules beforehand, especially about the "secret" monster.

So there is a shapeshifter in the group, and no-one knows who. It's insanely strong and no single person can take it out.

1. The shapeshifter's identity is a secret, right up to the point where the shapeshifter (monster) claims a victim (Obviously). The shapeshifter's job is to discretely claim victims. (More on this shortly)
   
2. The shapeshifter can only be killed by 2 or more victims
