Which are now being played on Furry 2 Furry and have become wildly popular there.
Below are the rules Heyoka, one of the Masters of the Game posted there:
One person will be randomly selected to be the werebeast. The werebeast may kill one person each round. He also gets the ability to choose to bite someone instead of killing. This ability can only be used once during the game. The child werebeast will remain unaware of the original werebeast’s identity. The child werebeast cannot kill until the original werebeast dies. He does not have the ability to bite others. Kill or bite choices need to be PMed to me before the end of the round or I will randomly select a kill.
One person will be randomly selected to be the gypsy. Each round, the gypsy can choose to reveal the true nature of one other player by PMing me. The gypsy can choose to reveal the truth to other players, but must tread carefully since the werebeast will be hunting for the one person who can discover them.
If we get 12+ players, there will be an additional role: concoctor. This character has the ability to brew two potions during the course of the game. One potion will kill any player of the concoctor’s choosing. The other will resurrect a player who has been killed the night before. Only the death potion may be used on the concoctor himself. The concotor may use both potions during the same round if desired.
The rest of the group will be innocents. These people have no special powers and are simply fighting to survive.
*******
Each round, all players vote for one person to kill off. The name of the person they are voting for must be bolded and underlined. For instance, “I think Heyoka is guilty.” This is to make it easier for me to tally votes. You may rescind votes if you change your mind, but bold the names of the person you’re rescinding your vote from and the new person you’re voting for. For instance, “I rescind my vote for Heyoka and vote for Mestopho.”
At the end of each round, I will tally the votes and whoever has the highest number of votes will be killed off. Ties will be resolved by me flipping a coin or using a random number generator in the case of a three-way tie. The game ends when the number of the werebeasts equals the number of the innocents, or when all the werebeasts are killed.
Each round will feature a narration that I’ve written. This mostly serves to add a story to the game, but they also will contain subtle clues that point to the werewolf. Each round of voting will last 48 hours and I will have a narration up within 2-6 hours of voting closure.
**NOTE: THIS IS NOT A ROLE PLAYING GAME.** You are allowed to make a character simply because it adds another dimension of fun and creativity to the narrations. Once you post your sign-up sheet, YOUR CHARACTER IS IN MY HANDS. I get to choose his/her actions, words, thoughts, etc. I also cannot guarantee that I’ll be able to include everything you list in your profile. Because of this, I advise you to pick a character you’re not so attached to that you can’t stand to see them misrepresented.
*******
You may only have one instance where you don’t vote. If you don’t vote for two rounds, you will be killed off in some way of my choosing. So please only sign up if you think you can commit to voting every 1-2 days.

Please note that magic and heightened senses are not allowed in this game, as well as any other abilities that could skew the story. I want to make this fun, not impress everyone with your awesome powers.
Sounds like a rather interesting game….
