All Newbie games are using the Matrix 6 setup, where the List Moderator randomly assigns either one row or one column from the table below. The remaining six roles will be filled in by mafia goons and vanilla townies appropriately, to create a 2-mafia and 7-town setup. For example Row 1 (1 jailkeeper, 1 vanilla townie, 1 mafia goon) would add an additional 5 vanilla townies and 1 mafia goon, for a total setup of 1 jailkeeper, 6 vanilla townies, and 2 mafia goons. The Game Moderator will assign players to the roles.
Matrix6 (as designed by Cogito Ergo Sum):
| A | B | C |
| 1 | Town Jailkeeper | Vanilla Townie | Mafia Goon |
| 2 | Mafia Roleblocker | Town Cop | Town Doctor |
| 3 | Town 1-shot
Bulletproof | Mafia Goon | Town Tracker |
