Honestly I was overshooting my sense of balance because everything I see is "site meta for normals is so town sided". I initially had a pair of masons there. I'd be quite happy to get rid of the tracker entirely and just have an informed townie, or do you think the one shot tracker is a necessity? I'd like to keep the even and odd night symmetry if possible.

Another thing I had considered was some form of miller to mess with the cop and keep to the design goal of investigative confusion over setup WIFOM but the vig bait aspect seemed cruel.

I would be happy to run this set up. I'll get the new pms done tomorrow as I'm currently supposed to be trying to sleep and so on my phone. Is there anything completely missing beyond the new role pms that I need to provide?In post 6, schadd_ wrote:having the tracker is surely not a necessity, though i am more confident in the balance with it, also it is just a fun role to exist in this setup
you can stack a miller onto the informed townie. lol. i think that the inform slightly seems like it would come from town, so the miller sort of cancels that out
so we would have:
gunsmith
informed miller
odd-night vig
even-night cop
1-shot tracker
5vt
odd-night doc
even-night roleblocker
informed goon

Also if you want to explain why the 1 shot tracker is better for assessing balance I'm curious just from my interest in game design. I think I get why its fun (goes from too much town info at each night to something that could clutch it for town or just add to the investigative noise depending, and gives a bit more space for setup spec for the free protective fake claim scum might attempt)

In terms of flavour I'm just gonna be sharing curious facts about boardgames or introducing board games that people may not have come across if it's not their hobby. The only thing I'm not 100% sure would be ok is using games with themes of death/zombies etc for execution vote counts.

I don't know great western trail (adds to list), race for the galaxy is fun but I've found it's one of those games that can feel solo even if you are playing with others. That said I've not had the chance to play with any of the expansions.
My initial flavour for the main thread was gonna be monolopy (and the history of The Landlords Game), and then dead thread gets mysterium and mafia thread gets werewolves of millers hollow for what I feel are both super obvious reasons.
