Should we allow questions about social deduction games on RPG Codidact?
We recently received a [question](https://rpg.codidact.com/posts/284235) about The Resistance, which is a social deduction game similar to Mafia. From the [most upvoted answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/74852/275836#answer-275836) defining the scope of this community, > The idea would be to include all games that are "role-playing" in style, with the main criterion that **it be human-mediated as to what happens next** in the story. If the mediation is a group effort (as in "GM-less" RPGs) that would be fine, **as long as it's not strictly rules-based** (as in a board or card game). Now, in social deduction games you technically are playing a role, but often trying to hide it. There is usually no Game Master, and the rules are very strict on exactly what happens next in the game, but it is true that the discussions between players could go anywhere based on the mix of their reasonings.
