eh. depending on the roles it won't necessarily be a big deal. adding extra town doesn't always make a setup more townsided.

/spectate
What prompted me to change rails from Normal Game to Large Theme Game is that the NRG felt the game was severely Scum-sided, and wanted me to have just Goons, and a large amount of Town PRs.

What was unfolding in the NRG is the exact opposite of what camntsuki said, but I couldn't reveal that on the open forum.

The real Large Theme I've been planning is far, far more intricate than this game, and... much bigger.

I want to make a complicated game with no generic PRs. I don't want PRs that give you solid info, but weighted information.

I want a Cheesemaker who can give players different kinds of cheese who may have an inkling of what certain Scum like: one who can inspect cheese preferences. I want an Eavesdropper who can listen in on conversations, hear snippets, and make judgments based on what is heard. I want a 'Novice Defense Attorney' who picks one player at random each Night and must vigorously defend that person from being lynched the following Day. I want a GROOT. I want a Martial Artist who, instead of auto-dying if targeted with an NK... is instead given 3 options (as well as his attacker), and the options chosen may see him survive, die, or have to repeat the choosing process again. Sophisticated 'PRs' that are far more faceted and intricate than blocky PRs like 'Cop' and 'Doc.' I want subtle, sophisticated complexity. Roles based on Professions like the Attorney, Gardener, Mailman, Painter, etc. I want a game that CANNOT be imbalanced due to 'PRs' as we know it, because the information gleaned won't confirm the target's alignment, but point slightly towards it or not. If the Peeper looks through someone's window and is tole by me that there's a gun on the bed, that may OR may not indicate the target is Scum, and would cause the Peeper to form its own judgments.

Sounds more like a mystery game than mafia.

There'd still be evil Mafia to lynch.

I just want it to be more decked-out.

Give the Doctor intricate, not-that-powerful abilities that mesh into the fabric of the game. What more does a doctor do in the real world? What would he/she know? How creative can you be using this knowledge in the framework of a realistic game like this?

About setup balance, that is.

Still, I don't blame you for the change.

LOL he will be in for a surprise when there is 100 pages in the first 3 irl days.

I really enjoy modding games as opposed to playing in them.

Planning on using N's thread in MD about how to mod your games above and beyond the norm.

I wanted to use an automatic vote counter but both didn't work on my computer.

This is only the stepping stone. A template.

Besides 'balance' and Hydras, this is just a big Normal game.

The concepts I have brewing in my head are both extensive and explosive.

We did add the strongest combination 3rd party 'Normal' mechanics can provide.

A boss monster, per se.
