Grand Idea Mafia

[Mizzytastic]

Vigilant Vigilante

You are multitasking. Members of the town with the ability to grant others night actions are informed that you are a good target.

[Mizzytastic]

Town Scrambler

Private threads do not have day talk while you are alive. Group scum are informed a member of the town is the source of this limitation.

[Mizzytastic]

Alignment Magical Inventor

Mod can pick alignment.

Each night you can visit a player to give them one of these benefits. You can give each one out only once:
Menacing: The next time you are targeted by exactly 1 night action in a night it is blocked
First Striking: The next time you perform a night action it is resolved as being the first thing to happen that night.
Deathtouching: The next time you would kill someone, it cannot be prevented
Vigilant: You are multitasking. People who share your alignment and can give other people night actions are told you are a good target when you receive this invention.

[Mizzytastic]

Tanilla Vownie

You are a named vanilla townie

[Mizzytastic]

Gafia Moon

You are a named Mafia Goon

[Mizzytastic]

Gerewolf Woon

You are a named werewolf goon

[Mizzytastic]

Kerial Siller

You are a named Serial Killer. In pregame you can choose between Bulletproof, or 1-Shot Ninja + 1-Shot Strongman

[Mizzytastic]

Slien Apoonerist

Each night you can target a player. Other than this action, all actions targeting that player are instead performed by that player to the people targeting them, and all night actions performed by that player are instead done to them by their targets.

[Mizzytastic]

Author Self insert

You get a random role card that you have created in the Grand Idea thread. If you do not have a post in that thread then you get a random role card the mod has created. If the mod has no posts then you get a random role card that Mizzytastic has created.

[Mizzytastic]

Mafia Squeamish Multitasking Rolecop Anticop

You can perform more than one action each night. You may not perform the factional kill unless no other player remains to do so.

You can visit a player to learn what their role is, but not their alignment.

You can visit a player to ensure that all players who would get an investigative result on your target get an incorrect result. "No result" results are still applied correctly.

For results that have more than one way to be incorrect, use the result that feels most fair/neutral to you, and answer truthfully about what the incorrect result in a situation would be should anyone ask

[Mizzytastic]

Timed Mason

You begin in an otherwise empty Masonry. While you are alive, if the masonry only contains you and it is an even night, the town aligned player the mod considers to have the least mechanically beneficial to town role will join your masonry at the end of the night. Their role will gain X-Night Mason in addition to it's other features, for purposes of investigation.

[Mizzytastic]

1-Shot Triggered Lightning Rod

The first night you are targeted by a night action, all night actions that could target you do.

[Mizzytastic]

Vengeful Doctor

You may visit a player each night to protect them from one kill.

The first time after your death that a player who voted for your elimination or killed you with an action would kill, you prevent that kill.

Investigations work correctly on you, but your flip treats you as a normal Town Doctor.

[Mizzytastic]

Mafia Roaming Rolecop, Mod-text Cop, Alignment Cop

Each night you may visit a player and either learn their role (but not their alignment or modtext) or their modtext (but neither their role or alignment) or their alignment (but neither their role or modtext). Once you have used one of these actions on a player you cannot visit them again with either action.

[Mizzytastic]

Ronin

You win as a survivor. Each night you can perform a nightkill, which is treated as a Serial Killer's factional nightkill. You have 1-shot of two of the following modifiers, chosen by you at pregame: Strongman, Ninja, Bulletproof

[Mizzytastic]

Norwegian

Blue

Following your death by any means, including elimination, it will appear to fail and you will remain alive for one more day/night cycle, after which you will die and the game will be informed that you were in fact never alive.

Because you are a) a parrot and b) dead, you never count towards calculating if an endgame situation has been reached. In addition to their normal result, any successful investigation will be informed that you "have beautiful plumage"

A member of the town chosen by the mod has an additional wincon of needing people not to realise you are dead (i.e. they have one more day/night cycle after your apparent failed death to win the game). They know your identity.

You win with the town.

[Mizzytastic]

Town Utility Cop

Each night you may visit a player to learn about the utility of their role. You will be told whether or not the mod believes that players role to be of negative utility to their alignment.

You get to assess what is negative utility, but the reasoning shouldn't be "it could be bad cos the player could make bad night choices." A miller is negative utility, a vig is not even though they can do far more damage to the town.

[Mizzytastic]

Mafia Utility Cop

Each night you may visit a player to learn about the utility of their role. You will be told whether or not the mod believes that players role to be of negative utility to their alignment.

You get to assess what is negative utility, but the reasoning shouldn't be "it could be bad cos the player could make bad night choices." A miller is negative utility to town, a vig is not even though they can do far more damage to the town.

[Mizzytastic]

Psycho Doctor

You are a Serial Killer. You investigate as a Town Doctor with modtext saying that you are insane.

[Mizzytastic]

Mafia Mole

You are a Traitor, you know your teams identities and they know yours. Each night you may visit a player and the rest of the Mafia will get a rolecop result on that player at the end of the night.

[Mizzytastic]

Mafia Planner

Each night you may choose a player, when performing a night action you are strongwilled against that player.

On a night where you don't perform any other night action you may visit a player and that player is strongwilled against your chosen player instead.

[Mizzytastic]

Mafia Arsonist

When you perform the factional kill, you cannot kill. You can

Douse

a player, or

Ignite

killing all doused players

You have one shot of Douse and one shot of Ignite you can use even if you don't perform the factional kill.

Other members of your family may choose to douse or ignite instead of killing as long as you are alive.

[Mizzytastic]

Town Deus Ex Machina

Each night you can visit a player. If an action that player is taking or passive ability of that player would cause a town losing endgame, prevent all actions and neutralise all passive abilities of that player for the night, even if they could not normally be prevented/neutralised. This ability cannot be prevented. If you do not meet the conditions for your ability to prevent something, your role and alignment is revealed to the town in the next morning.

[Mizzytastic]

Town Lunacy Cult Leader

Each night you may visit a player to have them join your cult.

Each morning a random player other than you will be revealed to have "Howled at the moon"

[Mizzytastic]

Town Moon Druid

Each night you can visit a player to have one of the following results happen:

• If that player is a Werewolf you will learn that they are a Werewolf and the Werewolves will learn that your role is in the game. If you visit a Werewolf again you will die.
  
• If that player performs a night action and is not a Werewolf, they are Loud for that night.
  
• The game will be informed that player "Howled at the Moon" next morning, if they are neither a werewolf nor performed a night action

[Mizzytastic]

The Fortune Teller

You are a

Townsfolk

.

Each Night visit two players. You learn whether one of them is the Demon. One town aligned player is secretly Red Herring who reads as the Demon.

Mizzy's Blood on the Grandfather Idea Clock project

I'm converting roles from Blood on the Clocktower to Grand Idea. As part of this I am defining terms from Blood on the Clocktower I will sometimes use here. This post may be edited but only to add new terms to the glossary.

Moderator Agency:

One of the main distinctions from Blood on the Clocktower to a lot of social deduction games is the moderator has agency. The goal of the moderator when making a decision is to try and get the game to a final 3 situation. When a role gives the moderator a choice this is the principle the should use.

Townsfolk

:

A town aligned player whose ability is primarily helpful for town or who has no ability. When an ability that cares about Townsfolk is in the game, the moderator determines whether a role not from this project is a townsfolk or not.

Outsider

:

A town aligned player whose ability is primarily negative for town. When an ability that cares about Outsiders is in the game, the moderator determines whether a role not from this project is an Outsider or not.

Minions

and

the Demon

:

In Blood on the Clocktower the goal of the good team is to kill the Demon. The Demon is the only evil player that can night kill and the Minions are the other evil players. For the purposes of this project they are aligned with the Mafia. There can only be one Demon and if something creates another Demon the original one should die. When an ability cares about Minions or the Demon is in the game, but there isn't a Demon role in the Mafia, the moderator should pick one Mafia member to be the Demon and the rest are Minions. If you do this the Demon should be multitasking with any other abilities they have and everyone should be aware of the change of win condition vs this faction.

Poisoned and Drunk:

If a player is made Poisoned or Drunk they should be treated as if they are completely roleblocked, including passive abilities. However they do not know they are poisoned or drunk and should be allowed to make choices and gain information from their ability as if it was working. If they gain information while poisoned or drunk the Moderator has agency to tell them whatever they think is best to achieve the goal defined in Moderator Agency.

Madness:

A player is mad about something if they are trying to convince other players it is true. A player will be mad about a number of things throughout the game whether or not it is mechanically relevant. Some abilities require players to be mad about something. Whether or not they succeed is a subjective decision by the moderator.

Registering:

When a player registers as something, it means that the moderator treats them as being what they register as for the purpose of other players abilities. This is often optional, allowing the moderator to use agency to have that player register as a different thing at different times in aid of their goal as defined under moderator agency.

Table Position and Neighbors:

Some of these roles care about table position and neighbors. For the purposes of this treat the player list at the start of the game as a circle, with the top player adjacent to the bottom. Some care about specific types of neighbors. For example, a role that cares about Townsfolk neighbors cares about the nearest Townsfolk on each side of the role in question, ignoring non-Townsfolk in between.

[Mizzytastic]

The Drunk

You are an

Outsider

You believe you are a Townsfolk and receive a Townsfolk role. If you believe you are a role that gets information the moderator may use their agency to lie or tell you the truth in order to make you believe you are that role.

[Mizzytastic]

The Chef

Townsfolk

At the start of the game you learn how many pairs of group-scum players are sitting next to each other. (e.g. 3 adjacent group-scum players is 2 pairs)

Glossary of terms: 11787

---

Either an unnamed extra category or Outsider would work for a benign 3rd party. I think I'd lean Outsider just to minimise the number of roles in a randomly drawn game that don't interact with these terms.

[Mizzytastic]

The Politician

You are an

Outsider

If the Moderator deems you to have been the town player with the greatest contribution to towns loss, you win. (you still also win with town)


Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Evil Twin

You are a

Minion

You have a player of an opposing team who is your Good Twin. You know each other's roles. If the town aligned player is executed, your team wins. The town cannot win while you are both alive.

(The Good Twin is town aligned unless this ability is somehow from a town aligned Evil Twin. The moderator chooses the Good Twin.)

Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Shabaloth

You are the

Demon

Each night you choose two players to kill. Each night, one dead player you killed on the previous night might come back to life. You can target dead players with your kills with the hope that they come back next night.

(Blood on the Clocktower does not have death reveals, the Shabaloth will have a different dynamic in a Grand Idea game where people will know who the players who come back to life are. The players who come back are up to moderator agency.)

Glossary of Terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Sailor

You are a

Townsfolk

Each night choose a player. Either you or they are Drunk. You cannot die.

reminder that if the sailor is drunk they can die, the moderator chooses who is drunk each time

The Goon

You are an

Outsider

The first player to target you each night is instead Drunk. You become their alignment.

your alignment is locked in on death, you need to be consistent with resolution order for determining first player

[Mizzytastic]

The Devil's Advocate

You are a

Minion

Each night choose a player (you can't choose the same player two nights in a row). That player does not die if executed the next day.


Glossary of Terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Al-Hadikhia

You are

the Demon

Each night you choose 3 players who might die. The moderator will publicly announce the first player you chose, then privately that player will choose Live or Die. Then this is repeated with the second and third player. All players who choose die, die. If all players live (whether they chose it or survive through another ability), then all three die (unless protected). You can choose dead players - they can come back to life by choosing live.


Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

Sitting in a circle, playing around the campfire

This is a public setup modification and not a role. Make the appropriate changes, then draw another card for the player in question.

Imagine the player list is sitting in a circle. Each player is in a neighborhood with their two neighbors this game.

[Mizzytastic]

The Lycanthrope

You are a

Townsfolk

Each night, choose a player, if they are town they die, and no one else can die that night.


Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Butler

You are an

Outsider

Each night (and pre-game, if there is no night 0), choose a player. You may only vote the same way as that player.


Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Pit-Hag

You are a

Minion

.

Each night you may change a player's role to another role from Grand Idea Mafia. If that role is already in the game nothing happens. They retain their alignment. If you use this ability to create another Demon, the Demon does not choose who to kill, but instead kills an arbitrary number of people chosen by the moderator.

Arbitrary kills means you choose who as well as how many, the Demon has no input. In Blood on the Clocktower when the Pit-Hag creates a new Demon the storyteller usually kills zero or two people to signify that the change has occurred. This is less important in Grand Idea mafia where it is being drawn from tens of thousands of roles, and not a semi open format of 25 roles or so. However, if they do create a new demon you should probably kill the old one. as part of the arbitrary deaths.

Glossary of terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

The Lil' Monsta

At setup the person who drew this card should instead get another

Minion

card.

Each night (and pre-game if there is no night 0), all Minions (living or dead) get to choose a player to be holding Lil' Monsta. That player does not have to be aligned with the mafia, and is informed that they are holding Lil' Monsta. They are the Demon while they hold Lil' Monsta, but they don't choose the kills.

The moderator may kill a player each night, and must kill a player if otherwise no one would die that night. This kill counts as being performed by the player holding Lil' Monsta for the purposes of investigation.

The choice of night kill is moderator agency, and in particular should be trying to sell the world that the Mafia team are choosing the kills, not the moderator


Glossary of Terms: 11787

[Mizzytastic]

you are now in charge of a one year old

At setup another player is made into an innocent child

Each night you babysitter protect that innocent child

The Pacifist

You are a

Townsfolk

.

When a town aligned player is executed, the moderator can choose for them to not die.

mod notes: while the choice not to kill a town player after execution is in accordance with moderator agency and trying to create a final 3 scenario, the pacifist is a townsfolk so their ability should also be beneficial to town when choosing to use it

You might want to confirm that the gossip is in the game to result in this behaviour, but you are not obligated to by this role.
