Makes sense. Any other feedback on any non-Town roles? (list's not final for the town and needs to be balanced regardless)

• Alien Night-Beloved Hirsute Celebrity (Reflexive Publishing Self-Voyeur. Appears Werewolf. If killed at night, no day phase takes place.)

screwed if anyone visits them

• Alien Sympathizer (If there are Aliens in the game, you are an Apprentice Alien Goon. If not, you are an Ugly Vanilla Townie.)

there will always be aliens so what's the point

• Third-Party Hirsute But Handsome Serial Killer (Appears Werewolf to investigation, Godfather to every non-Seer. Serial Killer.)

weaker SK

all that i could find i think

I need to include a Town analogue for this. Again, Town list’s not final.
• Alien Sympathizer (If there are Aliens in the game, you are an Apprentice Alien Goon. If not, you are an Ugly Vanilla Townie.)

there will always be aliens so what's the point
Editing: now rolls in a Town slot, becomes Ugly VT after other aliens are dead.
• Third-Party Hirsute But Handsome Serial Killer (Appears Werewolf to Seer, Godfather to every non-Seer. Serial Killer.)

How is it weaker? It appears town to everyone except Seers, who see them as a werewolf.

I know great idea does what you did but if you want a bit more balance I'd give a set number of VTs and a set number of Town PRs

or even no VTs and a set number of lesser PRs and a set number of PRs, if we're going role madness might as well go full out

Current revision: I added a guaranteed 14 VT spawn for now. Eventually yeah I'll revise it into like 7 VTs, 7 LPR (lesser power roles) and 7 GPR (greater power roles)

Revised again: Town draw is now split into three groups: Vanillas, Lesser Power Roles, and Greater Power Roles. The GPR list is not complete, and LPR isn't final.

Most Town roles are added to provide a feasible claim for scum with similar power roles.

Notably, Tracker, Watcher, and Bus Driver are missing, along with vig roles for town.

Mafia 1-Shot Double Dayvig now becomes an Early-Game role, where they will lose their ability if the living player count drops below 27.
