An Explanation of Role Types:
Name | Description |
Common | A common role that may be seen in nearly every mafia game. Examples of common roles include: Vanilla Townie, Cop, Doctor, and Mafia, and Godfather. |
Standard | Roles that do not fall under the umbrella of vanilla, but enhance the game experience and allow for more complex gameplay without major mechanics. Examples of Standard roles include: Double Voter, Ninja, Tracker, and Serial Killer. |
Extra | An extra role is that which may be seen in a role madness game, in which multiple players will have overlapping roles. Examples of Extra roles include: Tree Stump, Jailkeeper, Coroner, or an Astrologist. |
Bastard | A bastard role is one which is intentionally placed into the game to either frustrate players or cause issues between alignments. These should be used with extreme caution, as there is a fine balance between "Bastard but Fair" and "Sadistic Host Bastard". Some prime examples of Bastard roles include: Death Miller, Cult, Unjester, Mirror, and Hated Townie. |
