Overview
This is my attempt to create (The Framework for) a Mafia-esque game
Adding Cards
As this is a game meant for everyone to play, I want everyone to have a chance to create cards! These are the rules:
1: Don't add more than 3 roles at a time, unless 24 hours has passed.
2: Don't make too over powerful roles. (Ex: A Good Guy that instawins the game for Good Guys if it dies or is revealed)
3: Don't make too under powerful roles. (Ex: A Bad Guy who commits suicide at the beginning of the first night)
4: Only change other's roles to fix grammar.
5: Roles shouldn't refer to other roles, as they might not be present in all games.
5.1: If a role has good reason to refer to another role (Ex: "This role can only exist in games with The Vampire"), then it is allowed to refer to it.
6: Use the talk page to suggest edits for this page (excluding roles)
7: Create a Subsection for each new faction within an overall heading. (Ex: The faction "Blue Dragon" would be a subsection of "Uninformed Minority")
7.1: Neutrals can be ignored for the sake of this
Special Rules
Disregard all rules that apply to Dvorak. (Terminology might still apply)
One person is the "Moderator". They are the Engine of the game, who takes into account and processes all effects that happen at night. The Moderator hands out one role card to each other player at the beginning of the game. The Moderator is not a Player and does not receive a role.
All regular players have 3 cards: their role card, and two Decision cards, Lynch and Pardon.
Players may always look at their own role card, but they may not reveal it to any other players unless allowed or required by a game effect.
Mechanics
Each round is divided into day and night.
During the Morning (Day), players are allowed to say anything that they want to.
During the Afternoon (Day), players vote on who to accuse of conspiracy against the town. Anyone voted for by more than half of living players becomes accused, beginning a trial..
During a Trial, the accused player gets a brief time to testify. No one else may speak during this time.
During the Decision, all players aside from the accused may vote to Lynch or Pardon the accused by giving the corresponding card to the Moderator, face-down. Votes are only revealed at the end of the Decision period. Anyone who does not give a card to the moderator before time is up abstains from the vote. If more than half of the votes are Lynch, the accused is killed and the day ends.
During the Night, everyone closes their eyes. The moderator will tell roles to wake up to do their night actions, if they have any, then to fall back asleep. If there are any roles that wake up with other roles (such as most Informed Minority roles), the Moderator will tell the group to wake up instead.
If a player dies, they give the moderator their voting cards to signify that they are dead. They also reveal their role, unless an effect keeps it from being revealed. If a dead player is revived, their role stays revealed if it was revealed. Dead players are unaffected by all game effects that do not specifically affect dead players (Notably, Post-Death abilities can't be redirected).
If a player whose role is revealed becomes a different role, their new role will not be revealed.
Players may only use their role's Day Abilities if their role is revealed.
Some abilities may only be used a limited number of times. Some abilities instead have a limited number of Successful uses, which are not spent if the ability's effect is not achieved for some reason.
A role with multiple Night abilities may only use one of those abilities per night, if not otherwise specified.
Factions
There can be any number of factions present in a game. Each role card has a single faction.
There are four categories of factions: Uninformed Majority, Informed Minority, Psycho Neutral, and True Neutral.
Any non-neutral role's goal is to kill off all players of other factions except for True Neutrals.
Psycho Neutral roles have the goal of killing off all players of other roles except for True Neutrals.
True Neutral roles each have their own unique goal, and some may win alongside other factions.
The game ends when any non-neutral faction or Psycho Neutral role achieves its goal. Some True Neutrals may delay the game's end.
Types
Each role has one of 6 different role types, which describes the overall function of the role.
Killer - Roles whose main mechanics kill other players.
Offensive - Roles that disrupt other players and keep them from using their abilities as intended.
Social - Roles that affect the game's social dynamics, either positively or negatively.
Support - Roles that help other players, whether it be healing or strongmanning their actions.
Investigative - Roles that can gain mechanical information from the game itself.
Special - Roles that don't fit into any of the above categories.
Game Alterations
If you want to alter your game, you are free to do so. Here are a few suggestions from me (JakeTheWolfie)
Faction Grouping - Some factions can win without eliminating each other. (Ex: The Mafia are able to win with the Unseen, despite being differing factions). This could also apply to only specific roles (Ex:The Mastermind, The Coven Leader, The Cult Leader, and The Godfather are able to win with each other, if alive. This also applies of one or more of them aren't alive. All other members of their factions would lose)
Different Trials - Players vote on who to lynch during the trial phase. Whoever has the most votes is lynched.
Faction Separating - Roles within a faction cannot win with each other (Ex: The Vigilante can only win if the Veteran is killed, and vice versa. If both are alive/dead at the end of the game, they both lose.)
Autopsy Reports - When the Moderator announces a player's death, they also announce what role killed them. If it was an Informed Minority role, they announce the killer's faction instead of their role. --ChippyYYZ
Legion of Doom - Informed Minority factions treat each other as a single faction and wake up together. Ignore each Informed Minority faction's required starting roles. Effects of Informed Minority special rules or roles that would involuntarily change an Informed Minority player's role are suspended until each faction's effect has its conditions met, at which point one such effect at random is applied (If a Consigliere, Vigilante, Shadowstalker, and Combatant are alive, the Consigliere does not become a Mafioso, the Shadowstalker does not become The Kinslayer, and the Combatant does not become a Mithrite Leader until the Vigilante dies, at which point only one of the three remaining players at random will become a new role). The Mafioso may still become a Godfather if an existing one dies. --ChippyYYZ
Terminology
Investigate - Learn whether a player is Suspicious (Informed Minority or Psycho Neutral) or Not Suspicious (Uninformed Majority or True Neutral). Some abilities may gain additional information from Investigating.
Frame - Investigative checks on a Framed player return Suspicious.
Tailor - Investigative checks on a Tailored player return Not Suspicious.
Heal - Prevent a player from dying tonight.
Kill - Kill target player. This can also be paired with other modifications.
Strongman - This ability cannot be stopped unless another strongman ability stops it.
Death Immune - You cannot be killed at night. You can still be lynched.
Unique - Up to one of this role can be assigned at the beginning of the game. If multiple living players have the same unique role, the one who most recently became that role (except via this rule) becomes their previous role.
Distract - A Distracted player's Night abilities have no effect. They still visit the target of their ability unless specified otherwise. Limited use abilities still spend a use (but not a Successful use).
Redirect - Change the target of a player's ability (if any).
Visit - A living player using a Night ability on a target Visits that player, unless specified otherwise. Some abilities can detect visits or affect players who visit certain players.
Convert - Transform a player's faction from one side to another. If no role is specified to be what a role converts into, the role's convert is considered to be that original role, just with the faction changed.
Unconvertable - The role is unaffected when a conversion attempt is made.
(X uses, shared) - If another player becomes that role, they will keep the same amount of uses.
Poison - The target will be notified upon being poisoned. If they are not healed, they will die in 2 nights.
Revive - Target player will be brought back from the dead.
X-shot - Similar to (X uses), this will only activate X number of times
(Add more as you come up with cards with these terms)
