So a couple of things.

First, Werewolf/Villager is normal flavor so you can keep it if you want.

Second, you need to rewrite the Lazy modifiers in both roles that it appears in so that it matches the language that should be in the role. I would double check the language of any other role/modifier with the Wiki too just in case.

I think your biggest issue lies with the scum team. You attach a ton of modifiers and abilities to one role. You are basing the whole game on whether that player lives or dies. I know the other role is a back up but you will immediately confirm that player as scum if the other player flips first. Your Informed Mason is told exactly one person has the Misc. role. And then that scum role flips. Now the back-up has to compulsively use the role themselves.

I would do two things to fix these issues. First, split up all the abilities you want scum to have between both players. Your goal is for scum to be able to send misinformation, let both players do so. I would also remove the Informed townie (or change what they are informed about).

Can you write out what that informed would look like? The one thing I wanna avoid is scum confirming a player just because their partner flips.

Okay that looks much better. I'd say just re-write the Werewolf PMs, and re-write the Lazy modifiers and we'll see how that looks.

I agree I think we have crossed over into complex territory. That's okay!

I approve.
