Mafia Spotter


Each night you may visit a player. Kills targeting that player with a 'gun' kill flavour cannot be prevented.

(Alignment) Backup Backup Mod


Each night you may learn a card that was discarded during game creation. If there are no discarded cards remaining you will learn that instead.

Instead of getting a new card you may further study a card you've already learned of to learn why it was discarded - e.g. it gave the alignment to another card, it says to discard it, mod felt that it was unfair/unfun/unbalanced

Town Veto Oracle


You know all role cards that have been vetoed this game.

The veto is the moderator's ability inherent in Grand Idea games to exclude role cards that are either game-breaking or unfun.

Interactive Role
(alignment up to mod discretion)

If any roles belonging to other players have a specific interaction with another role or role property listed in their PM, you will be given a role or role property that fulfills the interaction. (For example, if there's a Gunsmith in the setup, you will be given a role that shows up positive to the Gunsmith; likewise, if another player has
flying
, you do too.)

(Note: the description above is for the moderator; tell the player their actual role, rather than the means via which it was generated.)

Ghost Of Otto Von Bismarck

• You will get a Goon card and this isn't technically your role anyway.
• The first faction-aligned player to die will become the Ghost Of Otto Von Bismarck.
• As the GOOVB, you are normally killed in the main thread but treestumped in the Mafia PT. The details of this role are revealed after you die.
• You may make a list of three "predictions" in the Mafia PT which can be answered by the moderator with a "yes" or "no." These are predictions for what will happen during the remainder of the game. These may be rejected by the moderator at discretion, however, OVB is allowed to replace disallowed predictions.
(examples include "TemporalLich is SK" and "Mizzytastic will be healed by a Doctor".)
• The moderator will indicate that a prediction came true in the main thread but will not reveal which prediction came true should this event be true.
• If GOOVB gets two predictions correct (subject to change), they will get one of the following responses about their third immediately:
(For this example, we will use "TemporalLich is SK" as Prediction A, "Mizzytastic was healed by a Doctor" as Prediction B, and "A Mafia member will die N3" as prediction C.)
-
Yes
(to prediction B, this would mean that at some point throughout the game, Mizzytastic was healed.)
-
No
(to prediction A, this would mean that TemporalLich is not an SK.)
-
Impossible
(to prediction B, this would mean that there is no way for a Doctor to heal Mizzytastic, either because they are Macho, there is no Doctor, or they ARE the Doctor.)

Lore behind this: Otto Von Bismarck is credited with this quote: "One day the Great European War will come out of some damned foolish think in the Balkans." That was from 1888. He died before the war started, therefore, I make him a role for an informed minority that can make predictions about the game and learn when they come true.

Role Reroller
(alignment up to mod discretion)

Each night, you may target a player. That player's role but not alignment will be rerolled.

Let's assume that I rolled SK and Mizzy got healed before N3... What result would you get for Prediction C? Inconclusive? Impossible? Wait until N3 is over?

The Time Warden


During the night, assuming no interference with your action, you may Time-lock someone. This will kill them, but they won't flip, and no one will be notified that they have died. Instead of joining the Death PT, they will join the Time PT. You will have access to this PT, but the Mod will replace your name with "The Time Warden".
Alternatively, you may temporarily Time-Lock yourself. You will be considered dead, but will still be able to use your 3rd night action.
If you have time-locked yourself and it is night, you may unlock yourself, reviving yourself to join the game again.

Any players who visit a Time-Locked player will be notified that they are Time-Locked. This will replace any investigative abilities that they may have.
Healers visiting a Time-locked player will unlock them.

You win if you survive for 5 in-game days where you have not time-locked yourself.

The Third Prediction in this case would be "No" but (going to clarify it in a moment) in the event it does happen then the mod would announce "A Prediction has come true!"

I could actually add the other four color Suns... but will any Grand Idea game actually reach Day 9 like Grand Idea GPick (the source of the Color Sun roles, based on my naming of the PTs when they were released)?

You gain access to all PTs from the Color Sun Lineage on Day 1.

Additionally, you cannot become a dedicated Color Sun member.

During pregame, you may invite someone to any Color Sun Lineage PT that could potentially exist (even including ones linked to unusual Day numbers like -1, 1.5, π, ω, or even Pizza). You may do this up to five times, and you may invite someone to multiple Color Sun PTs. This action can't be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.

Time Weaver


During the night, you may set the following day/night cycle to be called whatever you want, as long as that value has not been used before. It does not have to be an integer or necessarily a number.
Additionally, you may roleblock a player for this night.

You win when the Town is defeated.

Mod Notes: If no value for the next cycle is given, increment the previous day by either +1, or by the next word in a dictionary of your choice.

1-Shot Sacrificial Evangelistic Mountain-Moving Townie

• You appear
Cult
to investigation.
• Once per game you may move a mountain in front of someone's house via prayers, causing you to ascend into heaven (die)
• Nobody may ever visit someone with a mountain in front of their home unless they're a Ninja, Orbital, or for some reason counter mountains explicitly. They are effectively rolestopped through immunity except for specific visits.

Mountaneering Dying-Wish-Ski-Lesson Townie With A Hand Grenade

• You are able to target players with a mountain in front of them.
• Once per game you may throw a hand grenade at someone's house, killing them and anyone with the capability to kill who also visited them.
• In addition, upon you dying, the following Dying Wish will be publicly announced and executed:

(PLAYERNAME) has bequeathed the entire Town group ski lessons. The game is now mountainous. Any kill-capable third-parties will become boring Serial Killers. Any non-kill-capable third-parties will become boring Survivors.

Geologically Active Alien


During the night, assuming no interference with your action, you may summon a mountain infront of someone's house. There is a 20% chance that this will instead remove all mountains from the game.

You win when all threats to the Aliens have been defeated.

You are a town aligned babysitter. In addition your target and all people who visit them learn all other people who visit then.
