Town Super-Amnesiac Cop

(

Town

/ Super-Amnesiac Cop)

You may target a player each night to investigate. You will not receive the investigation results. Instead, all other living players will receive the following message:
"A XXXXX-aligned player has been investigated last night." (where XXXXX is replaced with the actual alignment, such as Town or Mafia).

---

TLich, I have a question. Is this deck supposed to be more or less balanced or is it supoosed to be completely crazy, like Grand Idea Mafia?
Like should I post vanilla townies / mafia goons etc. here, or only crazy roles?
And are bastard roles allowed? Encouraged? Etc.

At the beginning of the game, you will be assigned a player to protect. You exit the game in a win if that player survives past the end of Day 4 (is not the Day 4 lim).

Following your sacrifice, targeted player will become deathproof for that Night phase and until the end of the following Day phase (for example, if used on N2, they will be deathproof for N2 and D3).

Mod note: You may decide to change the target survival Day to Day 3 (for smaller games) or Day 5-6 (for games with a bigger number of players)

---

I swear I thought of this before Korina submitted a Guardian Angel role in GIM.

Also, do you think the player should be allowed to pick their target instead of it being randomly assigned?

Oh cool, you played Epicmafia? I thought the site went down a while ago.

Also I think we should try to post quite a bit of Vanilla Townies, both as a way to balance the power level and also to quickly fill up the town slots, which there are a TON of and are currently behind on being filled up comoared to other slots.

So feel free to engage in casual discussion with me by using VTs (unless TLich bans VTs or something)

You are aligned with the ______(factionName), but it seems you didn't get a role. Isn't that cool?
Wait, what do you mean "you want a role"? This is not a democracy! Look, I think you should give it a try. If by the end of Day 1 you are still not happy, I'll let you pick a role, okay?

• On Night 1, or on following nights if not used on the first, you may pick any role from The Deck of Astral Roles: Reopened, and you will unavoidably become that role at the end of that night phase.

Based on my flawless math skills, if we make 15 "Surprise!" cards, then each individual player will have roughly 4.4% chance of drawing at least one.
And if we make 30 of them, then each individual player will have about 8.7% chance to draw at least one. Which personally sounds pretty good to me but would like to hear y'all's opinions.

Town Party Host

Once during the day, can choose to host a party for the following night, inviting all alive players to a Party PT and locking all other threads. This will prevent all actions that require a PT from happening.

Oh cool, you played Epicmafia? I thought the site went down a while ago.

I played a bit in 2019, before taking a hiatus. EM died some time during my hiatus.

That's a cool role from epicmafia! Love it.

I don't think it shpuld stop the mafia kill though, but maybe a random member of the mafia will be allowed to carry out the kill via PM?

This card is a surprise. You may pick it to have the moderator choose your alignment, or for a surprise role. The moderator will only tell you what role you got after you pick this card.

roles. Then randomly pick one of them to be the player's role for this game.
the player will get the following role PM:

surprise!

You are a ______(role+factionName)! Your abilities are:

• ______(abilities)

Mod to fill in the blank with the appropriate role/abilities/faction name, etc.

I am asking mainly because it would set a precedent for the deck including roles from outside the deck, which is not necessarily a good thing. So I want to hear opinions before I actually post this.

[DragonEater70]

Town Alignment Cop

(

Town

/ Alignment Cop)

Every night, you may target a player to learn their alignment.

(

Alien

/o-sgcMD)

one-shot global counting MotionDetector

-- once in the game at Night, you may activate this ability. If you do, for each player (including you) you will learn how many times that player has acted or been acted upon this night. This ability does not target.

I really like this idea!

[DragonEater70]

Demon Lord Alex

Alignment:

Groupscum

You are Demon Lord Alex, a cool teenager turned demon lord.

You have the following innate abilities.

Possession

: Once during the game, if there's only one living player belonging to a Groupscum or Non-standard Groupscum faction, you may target a player during the night. That player will be converted to your faction.

Malice

: Every night, you may target a player. That player's actions will be blocked, and they will be informed that they were targeted by something demonic. If you target the same player twice in a row, they will be cursed, and die at the end of the following day. The target will be informed of being cursed.

Invincibility

: The first time you would be killed during the night, you survive instead, and the person attempting to kill you will receive the message "You attempt to kill ____, but they are too powerful! You failed to kill them. Maybe next time.".

As a demon lord, you are considered an

unholy being

. Unholy beings automatically gain access to the following abilities.

The 6th Circle

: As you are an unholy being, you have access to

The 6th Circle

Private Topic in which you may converse with all other unholy beings at any time as long as you are alive.

Watchful Eye

: During night phases, you may vote on a player to target with the Watchful Eye Ability attached to The 6th Circle. Should a supermajority of 70% or more of unholy beings vote for the same target, The 6th Circle's watchful eye will reveal who the target visited that night, as well as the exact action they performed on them. This action can't be blocked and will bypass all modifiers. The results of this action will be posted by the mod in The 6th Circle private topic. After use it will take a day to recharge before being able to use it again.

You are a

Town Cheating Best Friend

!

Because you are cheating, you are informed that ____(player) is aligned with the town. Additionally, their role PM reads:

(role PM)

They are also aware of your alignment and role.

However, you must make sure nobody finds out you cheated! Neither you or your friend may ever mention that you are mechanically aware of the other's alignment or role - claiming this role, masons, or a clear check on each other is forbidden. Claiming a townread is fine. If you break this rule, both of you will be immediately killed for cheating.

Groupscum Hydra Summoner

(

Groupscum

/ Hydra Summoner)

At night, if you have not successfully used this ability before, you may target a player outside the game. The player will receive an invitation to join a hydra with you, which they can either accept or decline. If declined, nothing happens. If accepted, they immediately form a hydra with you.

This ability cannot be blocked.

Every Night, you may recruit a player to a pseudo cult. That player will be (falsely) informed that they've been recruited to your cult and have a different win condition now, and will be added to your cult PT.

All players except yourself, and groupscum players with living partners, will not have any way to differentiate this with a real cult.

groupscum

-aligned. If you are correct, the neighborhood will be upgraded to a

masonry

You are in a PT with all players who have a Doctor role or Doctor invention ("Med School").

Each night, you may target a player. That player's role will be permanently converted to Doctor, and they will be added to the Doctor PT.

[DragonEater70]

Town Whacky Inventor

(

Town

/ Whacky Inventor)

Each night, you may target a player to give them one of the following inventions:

• A bunny invention - may be used to mod-confirm the player as cute. May also be used to detect if another player is scary.
  (Werewolves, Demons, Unholy Beings and Serial Killers are scary, as well as any role that has "scary" in its name)
  
  
• A gold star invention - may be used to mod-confirm the player as the best student in class. May also be thrown at another player with a 20% chance to kill, 20% chance to roleblock, and 60% chance to miss.
  
• A fruit invention - may be used to either give another person a fruit, or just eaten for lunch.
  
• A virus invention - oooooh, mysetrious.
  
• A toy gun invention - may be used to force another player to claim (not necessarily a trueclaim) in their next post.

The mod will decide what the virus invention does

[DragonEater70]

Town Scary Guard Dog

(

Town

/ Scary Guard Dog)

Each night, you may target a player to guard. Any actions carried by scary players on your target will fail. Additionally, if anyone attempts to kill your target, you will bite them on their way out, causing them to bleed (this does not prevent the kill).

(Werewolves, Demons, Unholy Beings and Serial Killers are scary, as well as any role that has "scary" in its name)

Bleeding players cannot be protected from death. If a player is already bleeding and something would cause them to bleed, they die instead.

Did you want to post these at GIM? You can't post mafia/werewolf alignment here, only groupscum.

Town Bleeder

(

Town

/ Bleeder)

The first time you would be killed by any method except execution, you start bleeding instead.

Bleeding players cannot be protected from death. If a player is already bleeding and something would cause them to bleed, they die instead.

[DragonEater70]

Town Plague Doctor

(

Town

/ Plague Doctor)

Each night target a player. If they are poisoned or bleeding, they will be cured. If they are roleblocked, you make them unblockable for that night phase. If none of the above apply, you will instead cause them to bleed and roleblock them.

Bleeding players cannot be protected from death. If a player is already bleeding and something would cause them to bleed, they die instead.

[DragonEater70]

Town Bloodless Warrior

(

Town

/ Bloodless Warrior)

You cannot bleed.

Every night you may strike a player, blocking their action and causing them to bleed.

Bleeding players cannot be protected from death. If a player is already bleeding and something would cause them to bleed, they die instead.

[DragonEater70]

Town Upgradable Bloodless Warrior

(

Town

/ Upgradable Bloodless Warrior)

You cannot bleed.

Every night you may strike a player, blocking their action and causing them to bleed.

Upgrade:

If you block a kill, you may now strike up to two players every night.

Bleeding players cannot be protected from death. If a player is already bleeding and something would cause them to bleed, they die instead.

[DragonEater70]

Upgradable Vanilla Townie

(

Town

/ Upgradable Vanilla ____)

You start with no special powers.

Upgrade:

If you hammer a player that cannot win with you, you will be upgraded and gain 2-Shot Bulletproof and the Loved modifier for the rest of the game.

XeLo Normality Clause still applies.

I'm worried that this might be slightly broken as it basically confirms your alignment by making you loved, do you think this version is better?

Spoiler:

Upgradable Vanilla Townie

(

[DragonEater70]

Town Speedy Speed Booster

(

Town

/ Speedy Speed Booster)

Every day you may target up to players to speedboost. During the following night, they can use one extra ability (if they aren't inherently multitasking). If they possess only a single usable ability or are already multitasking, they can use the same ability twice in the same night instead.

You have 5 total charges of the speedboosting ability.

Stolen from Korina, I think.

[DragonEater70]

Town Pokemon Trainer

(

Town

/ Pokemon Trainer)

If there are no players with Pokemon-related avatars or usernames in the game, you should reroll this role.

You have one Pokeball at game start. You may use it to capture Pokemon, by throwing it at a player who is a Pokemon during the day. If you are not eliminated by the end of that day phase, the player will be captured.

Captured Pokemon may not use their night actions. Instead, they share a PT with you where you are able to command them to perform certain moves (chosen by the moderator. Determined by Pokemon type, NOT by in-game role).

The mod will give you game related challenges (such as killing a mafia or preventing a nightkill), and when you complete them you will level up. At each new level, you gain a new Pokeball.

All captured Pokemon may win with you regardless of their initial alignment, if you have reached level 5 before the game ends (this does not impact your own win condition, which is determined by your alignment). Captured Pokemon can still win with their old alignment, regardless of your level.

If you die, your Pokemon are released.

BTW i think you should not place any more groupscum alignments into the deck, because the groupscum slots have been depleted, so any more groupscum would just eat into the free spaces (which personally I would love to have filled with reroll cards, weird alignments, etc.)

[DragonEater70]

Free Space

It appears you have stumbled upon a free space! Select any card from the Deck of Astral Roles: Reopened that has either no alignment, no role, or neither, and it will replace this card.

[DragonEater70]

Draw 2 More, Discard 3

This card is rerolled after you draw 2 more cards.

[DragonEater70]

Everyone Draws +1, Card Peek

If this is drawn, every player including yourself will be drawing one extra card. Only one card will be publicly discarded unless another card specifies otherwise.

Choose a player. You will learn exactly one random card they drew (except reroll cards).

Do not reroll this card.

[DragonEater70]

Do you like to take chances?

If you pick this card for alignment, you will get a completely random alignment (not Mod-Discretion). You will also draw 5 additional cards to pick a role from.

If you pick this card for role, you will get a random role from the deck. Pick your alignment from within your other cards.

Mod note: the alignment is randomized BEFORE "mod chooses after picks" alignments resolve, so you still get an opportunity to fine-tune it. To randomize, simply roll again and pick the alignment of the card you landed on.

(Traitor) / Modified Traitor)

You may pick this card for the ______(alignment) alignment, in which case you will be a Modified Traitor of that alignment, in addition to whatever role you get.

You may also pick this card for the "Modified Traitor" role, in which case you will be an Upgraded Modified Traitor for whichever alignment you get. You cannot pick this role for third party alignments.

Modified Traitor:

You are aligned with the _____. You do not know all of their identities, but you know the identity of one of them: ______.

Upgraded Modified Traitor:

You are aligned with the _____. You do not know all of their identities, but you know the identity of one of them: ______. You also have the following 1-shot ability: _____(True Alignment Cop for town, Vig shot for any other alignment).

This would be made into a Modified Mason Traitor if chosen by town, Mason Feasibility Clause of course applying.
Additionally, the moderator should only pick an alignment that was actually rolled and should consolidate alignments so that the traitor factually has a main faction.

To clarify, this is how the role PM would look like if the Mod picks the Alien alignment, for example:

(Note: by default, players have 1 life)

[DragonEater70]

Town Survival Cop

(

Town

Each night, target a player to learn how many standard nightkills they can survive tonight.

Day 1 Hated:

On Day 1, you require one less vote than usual to be eliminated.

[DragonEater70]

Draw 5 roles

Once during the night, target a player. The moderator will tell you that player's name.

Town Cursed Warrior

(

Town

/ Cursed Warrior)

You are cursed, which results in you being Silent, Macho, and Hated.

(Silent is explained below. Macho players may not be protected from kills in any way. Hated players take one less vote to eliminate.)

Once during the Day, you may honor kill another player, causing both of you to unavoidably die. This kill works even on players who are deathproof or who have extra lives, etc.

During the night you may perform one of the following actions:
Protect: Guard another player. If they would be killed, you die instead, and cause the killer to bleed.
Meidtate: Attempt to gain insight. The moderator will let you know of one night action that occurred this night and who it targeted, but not who performed it (Ex: DragonEater70 was investigated).

Silent:

You should not write in any chats, with the following exceptions and clarifications:You should NOT quote others. You may cast naked votes. You may post "Yes" and "No"(as a replacement for easily recognizable gestures of approval). You may freely post in the "Silent" chat. You have access to the "Silent" chat, with all other Silent people and maybe others.
If you break this post restriction you will be notified at the start of next night (by the moderator). After that happens you can only vote once each day unless there are 3 or fewer people alive. The penalty will not be lifted otherwise(e.g. not during 5 player EXLO).
There are no further penalties for breaking your post restriction, and you may choose to break it if you want.

[DragonEater70]

Town Minion-Caller

Town

/ Minion-Caller)

Each day phase, you may pick a player from outside the game to summon into the game as your minion. The player will be be considered a player and may talk in the game thread for that phase. They are able to cast exactly one vote during their existence (so no vote changes), and will unavoidably leave the game without flipping at the end of the phase.

This may not be used in XLo.

Minions do not know your alignment and do not have a PT with you, but should try to help you win anyway.

[DragonEater70]

Reroll but now the moderator is townsiding

Reroll this, but now the moderator will townside. This does not mean they can unduly influence the game, but whenever they are called upon to influence the game by the mechanics of the game, the moderator will attempt to townside.

If both this and 945 are rolled, they cancel each other out

[DragonEater70]

Reroll but now the moderator is scumsiding

Reroll this, but now the moderator will scumside. This does not mean they can unduly influence the game, but whenever they are called upon to influence the game by the mechanics of the game, the moderator will attempt to scumside.

[DragonEater70]

Town Moderator Briber

(

Town

/ Moderator Briber)

Once during the game, you may bribe the moderator. If you do, the moderator will cheat in order to help you win. The nature of the cheating is to be determined by the moderator. The degree of how much the moderator will help you MAY be influenced by how persuasive you are.

If any other player correctly submits a guess of the fact that cheating occurred, who prompted it, and what was the nature of the cheating, you will immediately become a Neutral Survivor and then die. Other players are not informed of you cheating, nor of the possibility of submitting a guess.

Inner Sanctum Keeper or Hypogean: This role card is different depending on whether you apply it to a

alignment card or any other alignment card.

If this is applied to a

Town

alignment card, you are an Inner Sanctum Keeper.

If this is applied to any other alignment card, you are a Hypogean.

Inner Sanctum Keeper

You are in a PT with other Inner Sanctum Keepers, who are confirmed to be

Town

-aligned. The Inner Sanctum PT is treated as a factional PT for all purposes.

A random other

The moderator should make clear who authored which card.

[DragonEater70]

Town Deity of Weirdness

(

Town

/ Deity of Weirdness)
You are inherently WEIRD, so your powers may not work as expected.

Every night, you may target a player to weirdify. This will make them WEIRD, and any abilities they have may not work in the expected way.

You may shield a player once during the night, preventing them from dying or getting roleblocked that night. However you might accidentally steal their role. This might last only last one night or it might last multiple nights. This may be used on the same night as WEIRDIFY.

You may attack a player once during the night. This will completely roleblock them, even if they are supposed to be immune to roleblocks. However, they might also gain weird powers. Oh and they might also suffer negative modifiers like "hated" or "macho". This may be used on the same night as WEIRDIFY.

Lastly, up to two times, you may give a player weird visions. This will... give them weird visions. This may be used on the same night as WEIRDIFY.

All vagueness in this role's description is to be resolved by the moderator's discretion, with the goal of making things more weird.

All effects resulting from this role and its powers will immediately end upon this role's death.

(

good news! you've been promoted! you won't get a raise, and you still have to do your old job (play this game), but you also have these fun new responsibilities (as long as you are alive):

- you will post every vote count. the moderator will post zero vote counts until your death. you must post at least one vote count every [length of prod timer], or you'll be prodded. your vote counts override reality, so any mistakes or intentional inaccuracies will be treated as fact. for example, if it takes five votes to execute, and Skygazer has zero votes, but you post a vote count that shows Skygazer has five votes, the moderator will process Skygazer's execution at their earliest convenience (you can also extend or shorten deadlines as desired).

- at the start of the game, you will submit a list to the moderator containing guesses for each player's role and alignment. you may update the list at any time. the moderator will use this to determine public flips. upon your death, the moderator will post the dead players' actual roles and alignments.

Skygazer, if this is how you treat co mods, can I be your co mod next time you run a Bastard game?

the deck is now complete

let me know how you feel about this deck

not sure if I'll run this deck as of now yet

Hm

I dunno.

There are a lot of things I like here but I definitely feel like there are a lot of things the previous iteration did better.

I think the best way to judge this though is to play a game or two with it. I'd be down to mod a round, but not anytime before late January / early February, so if someone else wants the honor of being first, go ahead.

[DragonEater70]

Also I think that there should be a note that any roles that refer to things being Normal, should exclude Complex Normal roles and modifiers (since at the time these role cards were written, inventor/godfather/scum vig just weren't Normal).

[DragonEater70]

Fine, then I'll edit mine later.
