I know there's already a discussion going on, but if we can queue up for feedback, this is one I ran on my home site about 6 months ago. You'll see clearly that I know nothing about setup and balance -- I just thought this would be fun (my home site isn't a mafia site at all). It went completely haywire anyway because they had two incredible townies who solved it before the end of Day 1.

Doctor Who Mafia
5 VT
1 My name is Earl (I called it Rose Tyler)
1 JOATy thing (role in spoiler below)
2 Scum with Daytalk

Spoiler:
You are Doctor Who.

You are a Jack of All Trades. Each of your abilities can be used only once, regardless of whether they were successful.You have the following abilities:
1-shot Cop
1-shot Roleblocker
1-shot Bulletproof
1-shot Inventor*

*You have the power to create a sonic screwdriver, and give it to the player of your choice at any time. Your identity will not be revealed to that player.
If you give the sonic screwdriver to a human, they can use the sonic screwdriver for a 1-shot bulletproof ability on the night of their choosing.
If you give the sonic screwdriver to a dalek, they can use the sonic screwdriver for a 1-shot roleblock ability on the night of their choosing.


You may choose up to one ability to use each night, with the exception of 1-shot inventor, which can be used at any time and with any other ability.

I guess it was actually semi-open because I told town there were two "daleks", 6 humans, and JOAT-like PR. I also said there may be further unspecified abilities and roles.

In post 102, Antihero wrote:assuming your site has a meta for named townies (my name is earl), that looks pretty balanced to me
We had no meta for anything, really.
