Can't wait for the games this year, ran 2 overnight 12+ hour sessions of werewolf at UBCon this year, didn't get to play much, and the few detectives were squelched by the self-proclaimed "Mob" who had a majority and controlled the game... at least until only they were left, then they died horribly at the hands of the wolves amongst them. Ah I love justice.
Can't wait for more silent games, and games with a majority of detectives.
