The way the Random Mafia Generator works is to first choose between 15 and 25 players then follow the lists below. The first list is a list of all of the different possible roles in the game. There are 29 different roles, but 6 of them are fixed. The second list depicts how to choose which roles will be used. I am happy with these lists at the moment, but a few need some tweaking/balancing, especially pertaining to scaling from 15 to 25 players.

This pattern allows the Town to always start out with majority (either 50%+1 or 50%+2). Mafia and Neutrals will typically have just under 25% each, though I do have 1 Neutral in the Mafia pool at the beginning of the game and 1 Mafia in the Neutral pool for 21-25 player games. This is so that the number of the Mafia won't be known by all players.

You are the Don of the Mafia. 2/3rds of the remaining players are needed to lynch you. If you are copped, the result will be "Town". At night, you may copy the power of a teammate who is not making the kill or a 1-Shot. You may not be assigned to make the kill unless you are the last remaining member of the Mafia. You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Janitor and Doctor. At night, you may target another player, and that player will become bulletproof for the night and cannot die. If you are assigned to make the kill, your target's character and alignment will be hidden, and you will be informed to the character's name. Once per game, you may target another player and that player will not be able to speak the following day phase. A silenced player may not be lynched. You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Role Blocker. At night, you may target another player, and that player will be Blocked and his action will fail. If you are assigned to make the kill, your action cannot be Blocked. Once per game, you may target another player, that player will be Blocked, and no other player will be able to target that player, forcing them to fail. You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Misdirector. At night, you may target another player, and that player will be Misdirected and forced to target a random player other than himself, his original target, or a member of the Mafia.

You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Tracker. At night, you may target another player, and you will Track them, learning whom that player targeted. If you are assigned to make the kill, your action cannot be Tracked. Once per game, you may target another player and Track everyone else who targeted that player, learning who else targeted that player. You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Snoopy. At night, you may submit a description of a scene, and that scene will be included in the following write up. If you are assigned to make the kill, your action will not take effect until after the following night. Any action that would affect your action will affect it on the night you submit your action; however, your target may only be Doctored on the night your action takes effect. The autopsy will be included just after the Snoopy write up if applicable. Once per game, you may target another player, and that player will not appear in the following write up. This will not affect autopsies. You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Magnet. At night, you may target another player and that player will be Misdirected into you. If you are assigned to make the kill, your target will be determined at random, though you will not target a member of the Mafia.

You win when there are no more threats to the Mafia.

You are the Mafia Power Cop. At night, you may target another player, and you that player's power. If you are assigned to make the kill, all actions that would affect the kill will affect it normally. Once per game, when you are assigned to make the kill, your action cannot be Blocked, Misdirected, or Doctored; and you will always be able to find your target. If you make the kill this way, you will die and cannot be Doctored.

You are the Jester, Bomb, and Paranoid Gun Owner Maker. At night, you may target another player. One random player who targets that player will die. You are Neutral and win when you get lynched.

When you vote to lynch other players and your vote is the last vote needed to successfully lynch three players, you will win.

You are the Hider and Pusher.

You win when there are no more threats to the Town.

Just did some final tweaks (very happy with this now), and I was able to fix the bugs.

I feel that this is a fairly balanced set up. Many of the roles are extremely basic, and most games will be 75%+ the same game. I have added a few roles that I think will be fun, and I think this set up will be fun despite being fairly predictable.

I do have it set up that in 15-20 player games, there will be a 50% chance that the Mafia will be 1 or 2 less than total Neutrals. If this is the case, then the Jester will be in the game. I did this so that no one will ever know just how many Mafia members will be in the game. at 21-25, there is a 50% chance that the Mafia will be equal or 1 more than total Neutrals, a 25% chance that the Mafia will 1 or 2 less than total Neutrals, and a 25% chance that the Mafia will be 1 or 2 more than total Neutrals. If the Mafia is significantly more than Neutrals, the Mafia will have a Magnet/Random Killer on the team and the Jester will not be in play.

I have potentially 4 Survivors in the game, each with an alternate win condition based on manipulating kills. As I run games with these roles, I may tweak with the Alt Win Cons to find a better balance.

My Cult is confusing and not as basic as it could be. I know. I really like the idea of a Cult gradually getting better at killing as it gains more members, so I have a system where they get better at killing and get worse at recruiting as they get bigger. Also, their fail rate gets higher as they lose members. The way this is set up, there are 7 open Cult slots (Leader included) and for each member that dies, that seat goes with it. It would be very rare for a Cult to fill up, though; as it would get better at killing than recruiting at 4 members with zero deaths, and it will only get harder to recruit once it starts losing members.

I have 2 requests for anyone reading this:

For seasoned Mods/Players - Try the Generator out a few times at varying game sizes and glance at the Roles to see if you think there are any glaring Balance issues.

For Newer Mods - Try using it to help generate a game. I would love to help coach you through a game =]

Nice idea and list! Used to have something like it before do a game and to help create new kind if roles.
