    Default Trapped in Taormina

    The new large mafia game in the Gameroom:

    Trapped in Taormina




    An eruption of the mighty Mount Etna disturbed the peace in the lovely town of Taormina (Sicily)...

    Due to the chaos following the eruption, the accidental assassination of René, secret agent Juliette's fiancee, went unnoticed.

    Be a part of a story that involves rival mafia families, trying to get their hands on a nuclear weapon. Get involved in this beautiful yet deadly little town, where a prostitute might be the only hope of the honest townspeople.

    And meet the black hooded man...

    Join "Trapped in Taormina". Sign up by posting in THIS THREAD or PM Andres.

    We're looking for at least 40 players!

    Be part of the drama

    I experienced a sudden wave of pity for you, until I reread the title and saw it was "Trapped in Taormina" and not "Trapped in Toronto."

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    A game with some of the backroomers would probably be quite fun.

    And a huge freeking Volcano! I'm not much for mafia, maybe because of where I grew up. Looks like you're a real pro at organizing games though.

    They try to ensnare Backroomers all the time for their games. They threatened to hack and tinker with my avatar, swamp my PM box, even block my access to the Senior Member Colloquium unless I joined. No pasaran!

    Jésus Marie Joseph, Andres, René et Juliette? In Italy? Both are French names. In Italian, I think: Renato and Giullietta, or Julia. Nitpicking? How about a game set in Liverpool with protagonists named Heinz and Hans...

    I'll see if I can find the time to participate. Sounds fun.

    Now there's an offer I can refuse!

    Alas, what time I can muster between work assignments and family obligations I spend on the Backroom. There's is no room (or desire) for more at the moment. But I will consider it if and when I have more time on my hands, if only to please Andres.

    For it has to be said: Andres is TEH best ambassador for this game.
