Deck of Astral Roles [Complete]

[TemporalLich]

The First Townie

(

Town

alignment / The First role)

You managed to roll post zero. Enjoy having the introductory post in your Role PM. You are a named Townie. You have no special abilities.



Welcome to the Deck of Astral Roles thread. This is a role list quite like Grand Idea Mafia that is going to be used in a 13-player Mini Theme I will be running. This will be more structured than the actual Grand Idea Mafia thread however.

The Deck of Astral Roles game is a custom Grandest Idea Mafia (Greatest Idea Mafia rules, but with a Grand Idea Mafia esque deck) with a size of 300 or 1000. For this game, the moderator randomizes a number from 0 to 999 or the last post if 999 doesn't exist yet (this specific range is known as the Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe) three times for each player and gives role cards corresponding to the rolled post number. The player will then be asked to choose one card for their alignment, one card for their role, and to publically discard the remaining card. For the Classic Deck of Astral Roles, the randomization range is instead 0 to 299.

The Classic Deck of Astral Roles proper had a fixed alignment ratio. The ratio was 100

Town

/ 30

Mafia

/ 30

Werewolf

/ 15

Alien

/ 10

Cult

/ 15

Third-Party

/ 20

Mod Discretion

/ 80

Free Space

.

Aliens

are a scumteam with a 1-shot factional kill and a 1-shot "alien tech" factional invention from a random active role in the Deck of Astral Roles that wins ties in endgame.

Cult

is a scumteam with one Cult Leader. The cult picks the Cult Leader from all the Cultists during pregame. Picking the Cult Leader adds on to the existing role and always works under any circumstance. The Cult Leader is a special role (which can be used with a personal ability as if it were a factional ability) that changes alignment to Cult, though it will fail on groupscum with living partners and will fail if either the Cult Leader or the target die that Night. The Cult Leader may not recruit more than 25% of the playerlist at one time. The Cult Leader will flip as a Cult Leader.

Third-Party

slots can be filled with any third party like

Serial Killer

or

Jester

.

Mod Discretion

slots can be filled with

Mod Chooses After Picks

or

Mod Chooses Before Picks

.

Free Spaces

may be filled with any alignment, this includes rare scumteams such as

Pirates

or

Dark Creatures

and reroll for alignment and any other crazy thing you can think of.

The target alignment ratio for the entire Deck of Astral Roles was 300

Town

/ 90

Mafia

/ 90

Werewolf

/ 45

Alien

/ 30

Cult

/ 45

Third-Party

/ 60

Mod Discretion

/ 340

Free Space

.

Ideally you should list the alignment / role split in your posts. This is being used for a game where the alignment / role split is vital.

You can view the wiki page for the Deck of Astral Roles here: Deck of Astral Roles

Spoiler: Standard Wincons

Town

: You win when there are no longer any threats to the

Town

, and at least one

Townie

is still alive.

Mafia

: You win when all the threats to the

Mafia

are gone and at least one

Mafioso

is still alive, or when nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Werewolf

: You win when all the threats to the

Werewolves

are gone and at least one

Werewolf

is still alive, or when nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Alien

: You win when all the threats to the

Aliens

are gone and at least one

Alien

is still alive, or when nothing can prevent this from occurring. Your faction wins ties in endgames.

Cult

: You win when all the threats to the

Cult

are gone and at least one

Cultist

is still alive, or when nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Serial Killer

: You win when all threats to you are gone, and you are currently alive or were alive in the last phase, or nothing can prevent this from occurring.

Survivor

: You win if you are alive during endgame.

Jester

: You win if you are eliminated via vote.

Unjester

: You win if you die in any way other than elimination via vote.

Condemner

: You win and exit the game if your target is eliminated via vote.

Savior

: You win if your target isn't eliminated via vote. You win and exit the game if your target dies in any way other than elimination via vote.

Balance is absolutely not guaranteed.

Shadowhydra, a role that allows an outside player to be in a PT (and the variant known as Brighthydra, which also can unavoidably add a player to their PT), is a role that exists in this deck.

IMPORTANT!: This thread will be locked after post #999 is made!

[TemporalLich]

Town Dark Demon

(

Town

alignment / Dark Demon role)

Anyone investigating you will receive a message saying that you are a frightening and evil Dark Demon.

Each night, you may cloak someone in darkness. They will be roleblocked, and will receive frightening visions of a random night action targeting them the next Night (if they weren't targeted the next Night, they will receive frightening visions of demons).

[TemporalLich]

Town Mason or Neighbor

(

Town

/ Mason or Neighbor)

This role card is different depending on whether you apply it to a

Mafia

alignment card or any other alignment card.

If this is applied to a

Mafia

alignment card, you are a Neighbor.

If this is applied to any other alignment card, you are a Mason.

Neighbor

You are in a PT with other Neighbors.

Two random other players will be a Neighbor if you select this role card.

Mason

You are in a PT with other Masons, who are confirmed to not be

Mafia

-aligned.

A random other Non-

Mafia

aligned player will be a Mason if you select this role card.

---

I will try to be more conservative on adding roles to the Deck of Astral Roles (unless you want more roles from me here). The initial few are meant for inspiration purposes.

Stuff below a line like this is discussion, it is not part of the role card. Anything above the line (if there is no line, this is considered vacuously true) in ooc tags like this is a moderator note and not part of the visible role card.

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses After Picks Bloodhound

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

alignment / Bloodhound role)

Role: Each night, you may learn if a player is

Town

or

Not Town

.

Alignment: After picking your alignment and role card, the moderator chooses your alignment.

---

Here is an example of a Mod Discretion aligned role. This one will show up while you're picking your alignment card, role card, and discard from your three cards. The other Mod Discretion alignment is

Mod Chooses Before Picks

, where the mod chooses the alignment of the role card before you can pick your cards.

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses Before Picks Doctor

(

Mod Chooses Before Picks

alignment / Doctor role)

Role: Each night, you may protect someone from being killed.

Alignment: The moderator chooses this card's alignment before role cards are sent out for picks.

[TemporalLich]

Ascetic Town Checker

(

Town

alignment / Ascetic Checker role)

You are immune to non-kill actions.

Each night, you may check a player. You will be informed of whether your check attempt on that player succeeded or not.

---

If you are making third-parties with alignment abilities, please make sure they are clearly demarcated from role abilities. The Deck of Astral Roles is a Grandest Idea variant, that means people will be picking an alignment card and a role card.

Also note that

Third-Party

is a category of alignments, not itself an alignment.

Survivor

and

Jester

are alignments. The thing that makes an alignment an alignment is the win condition, and some alignments have factional abilities (if this is the case they should be demarcated from role abilities).

[TemporalLich]

Werewolf Scumfinder

(

Werewolf

alignment / Scumfinder role)

You may investigate a player each night.

You get an

Innocent

result if your target can win while the Town wins. You get a

Guilty

result if this isn't the case.

Town, Survivor, Jester, Unjester, and Condemner are examples of Innocent results.
Groupscum (e.g. Mafia), Cult, and Serial Killer are examples of Guilty results.

---

Werewolf

(Werewolf / Vanilla)

If I'm holding something like a fruit or an invention and I get vanillized, do I lose the item?

Vanillaization does not destroy items.

[TemporalLich]

Town 2-Shot Day Vigilante

(

Town

alignment / 2-Shot Day Vigilante role)

Twice in the game, you may post

KILL: {player}

in the game thread during the Day. That player will immediately die.

[TemporalLich]

Town Discard Puller

(

Town

/ Discard Puller)

Each night, you may attempt to target a discarded role card and use that for the "role" portion of your role card. You are susceptible to roleblocking but not redirection.

If this role is in a Deck of Astral Roles game that has no discards, three discards will be rolled immediately after rolling this role, and will still be shown even if this role doesn't make it to the actual setup.

[TemporalLich]

Town True Flip

(

Town

/ True Flip)

While you are still alive, all deaths cause flips and all flips show the true role and and any information the moderator has hidden from the player. Redactions still work as normal.

Mod Note: This overrides any roles that suppress or alter flips.

---

Re-roll, alignment reversed

A true classic of Grand Idea.

how does this work exactly?

[TemporalLich]

Town Strong-Willed Wagon Driver

(

Town

/ Strong-Willed Wagon Driver)

While you are on an elimination wagon, the elimination from that wagon cannot be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses After Picks 1-shot Force of Nature

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

/ 1-shot Force of Nature)

Once in the game during night, you may cause a player to unavoidably die. This ability is treated as untargeted for all purposes.

---

Werewolf Bloodhound

(Werewolf / Bloodhound)

Receive the name of every player who performs a non-factional kill.

Bloodhound is a role that can check if someone is Town or Not Town.

[TemporalLich]

Werewolf Any Alignment Normal Role uPick

(

Werewolf

/ Any Alignment Normal Role uPick)

You may pick an unmodified role which is explicitly Normal for any alignment as your role.

---

The 100th role is the post after this. We're almost 1/3rd of the way there.

[TemporalLich]

Town 1-shot Strong-Willed Kingmaker

(

Town

/ 1-shot Strong-Willed Kingmaker)

Once in the game during Night, you may make someone a King the next Day. A King may post

EXECUTE: {player}

to force that player to be eliminated that Day.

This action can't be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.

---

Vagrant

(

Third Party

alignment / Vagrant role)

You are a Serial Killer that hides behind your kill targets. All abilities targeting you directly will fail while hiding. All abilities not expecting feedback that are directed at your target, other than your own kill, will be copied onto you.

While there is another living player in the game with a Serial Killer (or similar) win condition, you lose the ability to kill and your ability will function only as a hide. You will be informed at the beginning of each night of whether or not this is currently the case. Additionally, if you target a player with a Serial Killer (or similar) win condition, you will be informed of their role.

You win when all threats to you are gone, and you are currently alive or were alive in the last phase, or nothing can prevent this from occurring. Serial Killers (or similar) do not count as a threat to you and neither you to them.

Serial Killer align Vagrant role (hides behind target, can't use factional kill if another SK is alive, informed of targeting someone with SK wincon)? or Vagrant align Vanilla role? I assume the former.

Also, we have 1 third-party slot left. Don't worry if we run out, any further Third-Parties will use up free spaces.

[TemporalLich]

Cult Desperado

(

Cult

/ Desperado)

Each Day, you may post

KILL: {player}

in the game thread during the Day. That player will immediately die. If they are Town-aligned, you will immediately die instead.

---

The OP has been updated to specify that the

Cult

chooses a Cult Leader during pregame to avoid the potential of multiple cult leaders. Korina's Elite Cult Leader is an exception, it allows for Cult Leaders to exist as non-cult - though as a cult role it still needs to be picked as Cult Leader to be an Elite Cult Leader.

[TemporalLich]

Town 1-shot Strong-Willed Universal Cop

(

Town

/ 1-shot Strong-Willed Universal Cop)

Once in the game during Night, you may investigate a player to see their true role card, including mod notes and stuff the moderator has hidden from the player. Furthermore, you will learn the exact post(s) the player's role and alignment come(s) from. Partner and PT redactions will work as normal.

This action cannot be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses After Picks Grand Idea Role

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

/ Grand Idea Role)

You are a random role from the Grand Idea Mafia thread. Roll before sending the player their role card. The mod may veto roles as normal.

---

might as well add Grand Idea to the DoAR if we are having an inventor from there and also modPicks

[TemporalLich]

Mafia Card Swapper

(

Mafia

/ Card Swapper)

During the setup phase (as in whenever you are picking your alignment and role cards), if you are picking this as your role card, you may target a player. That player will have their role card and alignment card swapped with each other.

Reroll this role but not alignment if you aren't playing a setup where you choose alignment and role cards independently.

This was edited to fix the alignment ratio.

---

DoAR, being designed for Grandest Idea-style play, allows for roles like this that mess with the process of picking role and alignment cards.

The setup phase is the phase where you receive your role cards and have to pick a role card and an alignment card. The setup phase happens before pregame (in pregame, people get their actual Role PMs and those who picked

Mod Chooses After Picks

will see what they actually are).

Oh and Cult Leaders are vulnerable to role changes now, their ability only counts as a factional action for inherent multitasking purposes.

[TemporalLich]

Mafia Role PM Messer Upper

(

Mafia

/ Role PM Messer Upper)

The moderator will sneak the word "pineapple" into a random player other than you's Role PM.

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses Before Picks Reroll for Role

(

Mod Chooses Before Picks

/ Reroll for Role)

Before sending the player their role cards, reroll on the Deck of Astral Roles for this card's role.

Mod Note: Reroll for role before picking alignment ideally.

---

This is an anti-metagame role in case DoAR is played with Grand or Grander Idea rules.

[TemporalLich]

Town Mysterious Conduit

(

Town

/ Mysterious Conduit)

Each night, you may target a player to charge them with a mysterious energy.

Mod Note: This role charges someone with a mysterious energy indefinitely. (Roles like Mysterious Eidolon can lose mysterious energy charge)

Still, have fun figuring out what being charged with a mysterious energy does.

---

Vanilla Jeltist

(Jelt / Vanilla)
You have no active abilitiess besides any factional ones you may have.

Introducing a new faction: the

Jelt

. As you might have guessed, it is a mix of a

Jester

and a

Cult

. Like the

Cult

,

Jeltists

choose a leader pregame who will recruit new players normally. However the wincon is different: Each

Jeltist

only wins if they are eliminated (the game doesn't end). There is a catch, however; if the

Jelt Leader

dies in any way, including elimination, all

Jeltists

currently living commit suicide and lose.

I don't really think it's fair that the Jelt Leader basically has an ability to modkill a player in an unusual circumstance, and that for a Jelt Leader to win all other living Jeltists lose.

Also there's already a Jelt which I think is more fun to play against.

[TemporalLich]

Town Mysterious Eidolon

(

Town

/ Mysterious Eidolon)

You start the game charged with a mysterious energy.

If you are charged with a mysterious energy, you may attempt to kill a player and gain a random invention (rolled from either the Grand Idea Mafia thread or the Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe (any role in the Deck of Astral Roles thread, even those past #299) until you get an active ability). You will no longer be charged with a mysterious energy after this.

Mod Note: Pick either Grand Idea Mafia or Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe and inform the player of your choice.

[TemporalLich]

Unchanging Town Normal Role

(

Town

/ Unchanging Normal Role)

You cannot have your alignment, role, or wincon changed.

The moderator chooses a Normal role before sending this role card out for picks. Alignment restrictions don't matter. (This can e.g. be a Unchanging Town Tracker or a Unchanging Town 2-shot Weak Checker or a Unchanging Bulletproof Townie)

---

What circumstance, exactly? And yeah... that is a bit of a problem, it will shaft at least one person unless the leader is solo and is limmed D1. But it is meant to have much less "cohesion" than a normal cult.

As for the other Jelt, that might be confusing. I'll change its name to Jelt 2.

If the Jelt 2 Leader gets killed while successfully recruiting, that causes the Jelt 2 Leader's target to die and be autolossed. Thus basically a modkill.

However death should interfere with both sides of a recruitment anyway, so if that is taken into account there's no sneaky effective modkills.

oh and "suicide" is discouraged from being in Role PMs as it is potentially distressing.

[TemporalLich]

Town Anti-Cultist

(

Town

/ Anti-Cultist)

Each night, you may target a player. If you target a Leader of a cult-like faction (e.g. the Cult Leader), all members of that faction (including dead members) will become Town-aligned.

[TemporalLich]

Town Monk or Neighbor

(

Town

/ Monk or Neighbor)

This role card is different depending on whether you apply it to a

Werewolf

alignment card or any other alignment card.

If this is applied to a

Werewolf

alignment card, you are a Neighbor.

If this is applied to any other alignment card, you are a Monk.

Neighbor

You are in a PT with other Neighbors.

Two random other players will be a Neighbor if you select this role card.

Monk

You are in a PT with other Monks, who are confirmed to not be

Werewolf

-aligned.

A random other Non-

Werewolf

aligned player will be a Monk if you select this role card.

[TemporalLich]

Town Mana-based Investigator

(

Town

/ Mana-based Investigator)

You have 10

Mana

.

You may spend the

Mana

on these abilities. If your ability fails, you will get your

Mana

back. Anything that recharges X-shot abilities recharges

Mana

at a 1:2 ratio.

1

Mana

- Power Seer (Special Abilities/No Special Abilities - basically Vanilla Cop but Named counts as Vanilla)
2

Mana

- Cop (Mafia/Not Mafia)
2

Mana

- Seer (Werewolf/Not Werewolf)
3

Mana

- FBI Agent (Third Party/Not Third Party)
3

Mana

- Conspiracy Theorist (Alien/Not Alien - makes you seen as Alien to other Conspiracy Theorists)
3

Mana

- Private Investigator (Cult/Not Cult)
4

Mana

- Bloodhound (Town/Not Town)
5

Mana

- Scumfinder (Can win with Town/Can't win with Town)
6

Mana

- Role Cop (Grabs role)
8

Mana

- Alignment Cop (Grabs alignment)
10

Mana

- Fuzzy Parity Cop (Checks two players to see if they are the same category of alignment (town/groupscum/third party))

[TemporalLich]

Werewolf Moonlight Dancer

(

Werewolf

/ Moonlight Dancer)

You may PM the moderator at any time saying "Dance in the Moonlight". You may do this once per phase.

The moderator will then post "{playername} dances and howls in the moonlight."

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses Before Picks Astral Jack-of-all-Trades

(

Mod Chooses Before Picks

/ Astral Jack-of-all-Trades)

You possess four random 1-shot Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe active abilities that you may use once at a time.

[TemporalLich]

Town Oracle

(

Town

/ Oracle)

Each night, you may ask a yes/no question about the setup that would be answerable if the setup were fully open.

For example, you can ask if there are exactly X townies in this setup or not, whether there is a Doctor in the setup or not, if there are Aliens in the setup or not, if there are two groupscum teams in the setup or not, if there is a third party that ends the game if they win or not, if there is both a Cop and a Tracker in the setup or not, if there are either 4 non-town or a Role Redirector in the setup, or if there is either a non-town-aligned Roleblocker or a town-aligned Rolestopper in the setup or not.

Example Invalid Question due to not being yes/no: How many Mafiosi are in the setup?
Example Invalid Question due to mentioning a specific player: Does a specific player have a town-compatible wincon or not?
Example Invalid Question due to mentioning specific role cards: Was 0 rolled in this setup or not?

Town Tarot Reader

(Town / Tarot Reader)

Are the cards items or does this have untargeted (or random target) effects like a Dreaming God? I assume the latter.

[TemporalLich]

Werewolf 1-shot Lie Detector

(

Werewolf

/ 1-shot Lie Detector)

Once in the game at any time, you may have the moderator determine if a specific statement in a post from a player other than you (you must send the mod the post number and statement to verify) is truth or lie from the point of view of the player publically. If the statement doesn't relate to the game, your ability will fail and your shot will be refunded.

Possible results:

Truth - The player knowingly told the truth (using info that player has access to, which includes Role PMs and Result PMs and PTs)
Lie - The player knowingly lied (using info that player has access to, which includes Role PMs and Result PMs and PTs)
Inconclusive - The player said something they don't know about (such as another player's alignment they don't have results for)

Mod Note: Edited to be less bastard, edited again to be less overpowered.

[TemporalLich]

Town Inner Sanctum Keeper or Hypogean

(

Town

/ Inner Sanctum Keeper or Hypogean)

This role card is different depending on whether you apply it to a

Town

alignment card or any other alignment card.

If this is applied to a

Town

alignment card, you are an Inner Sanctum Keeper.

If this is applied to any other alignment card, you are a Hypogean.

Inner Sanctum Keeper

You are in a PT with other Inner Sanctum Keepers, who are confirmed to be

Town

-aligned. The Inner Sanctum PT is treated as a factional PT for all purposes.

A random other

Town

aligned player will be a Inner Sanctum Keeper if you select this role card.

Hypogean

You are in a PT with other Hypogeans, who are confirmed to not be

Town

-aligned.

A random other Non-

Town

aligned player will be a Hypogean if you select this role card.

---

Townies have been exhausted. Any further townies (such as this one) will fit into Free Spaces however.

The OP is also updated to better explain what a Grandest Idea game is.

[TemporalLich]

1-shot Town Pregame Alignment Cop

(

1-shot Town

/ Pregame Alignment Cop)

Role: During pregame, you may learn a player's alignment.

Alignment: You start the game aligned with the

Town

. If you are alive at the start of Day 2, you will become a

Survivor

.

---

Third Party Mistletoe

(

Third Party

/ Mistletoe role)

The Mistletoe may target two players every night. If the two players share the same alignment, they will fall in love. If they do not share the same alignment, the Mistletoe will be informed that the pairing failed. The Mistletoe wins once everyone alive in the game is in love with someone (whether or not that other player is still alive), presuming that the Mistletoe is also still alive.

Players who fall in love with each other are not informed of this. The Mistletoe ends the game upon victory.

Third Party isn't an alignment in itself, it is a category of alignments. I'd interpret the split for this card as (

Mistletoe

/ Vanilla) for example, as the ability very much seems factional.

[TemporalLich]

Town Neighbor

(

Town

/ Neighbor)

You are in a PT with other Neighbors.

Two random other players will be a Neighbor if you select this role card.

---

Mason and Monk have been edited to where they are treated as Neighbors if used with their forbidden alignment.

[TemporalLich]

Werewolf Rolecopping Cop

(

Werewolf

/ Rolecopping Cop)

Each night, you may target a player to learn if they are

Mafia

or

Not Mafia

. If they investigate as

, you will learn the role of that player.

[TemporalLich]

Mafia Rolecopping Seer

(

Mafia

Mod Chooses After Picks Plus Minus Voter

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

/ Plus Minus Voter)

You possess two votes. One is worth 1 vote, the other -1 votes. To use your -1 vote, use the HEAL: tag.

---

Mitosis Cult Leader

(Cult / Mitosis Recruiter)
You may sacrifice yourself to create two 1-Shot Self-Vanillaizing Recruiters belonging to the same faction as you.

Would you need to bring an alt account or do you take up two slots with this? Or does this add a new player into the game?

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses Before Picks Triplet Doublevoter

(

Mod Chooses Before Picks

/ Triplet Doublevoter)

You possess three votes each worth 2/3 of a vote.

Mod Note: If anything allowing non-integer votes has ever existed in the setup, do not round elimination thresholds and allow exactly 50% to count as majority.

[TemporalLich]

Mod Chooses After Picks Shadowhydra

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

/ Shadowhydra)

You are in a Private Topic with a player outside the game (mod's discretion).

The queue's listmod must be notified if this card rolls.

[TemporalLich]

Dark Creature Infernal Blade

(

Dark Creature

/ Infernal Blade)

Alignment: You are a

Dark Creature

.

Dark Creatures

are a scum team with a factional "Plunge in Darkness" ability to roleblock someone that Night and also cause them to die the next Night.

Role: Once in the game during the Day, you may post

INFERNAL BLADE: {player}

(the text must be set apart from normal text, usually with bold) to immediately have that player eliminated. If they are groupscum-aligned, you gain a 1-shot Dark Demon invention. (Anyone investigating you that Night will receive a message saying that you are a frightening and evil Dark Demon. You may cloak someone in darkness. They will be roleblocked, and will receive frightening visions of a random night action targeting them the next Night (if they weren't targeted the next Night, they will receive frightening visions of demons).).

---

Alignment Budget has been removed as it is no longer relevant due to all earmarked slots being exhasuted. Everything is Free Spaces now.

And for that I finally bring the

to light.

If their action succeeds they are notified that they have escaped and can act as normal again. You are immune to one kill every two cycles, but will be killed by the Alien factional nightkill even if it's the only kill targeting the Murky Mire.

Should the Deck of Astral Roles Cult Leader keep the role intact? Should the Deck of Astral Roles Cult Leader be gated in some way?

Before running this setup, I am asking if Cult should be nerfed.

Should the Cult Leader ability (excluding Korina's Elite Cult Leader) require a night to "recharge" or "recover" after a successful recruitment (Tiring modifier?)? Cult Leader currently changes alignment to Cult which has a PT, the suggested nerf will make Cult leader non-consecutive if it succeeds.

Also should the Deck of Astral Roles have a wiki page?

Twice in the game during Night, you may learn a player's alignment.

@temporallich

i feel like it would be better if like
each 300 cards were a 'set'
and each 'set' would also be set to your ratio of role cards (like the free spaces/town/etc.....)
that way we could run custom games like 'deck of astral, set 2+5' or smth
and also have a better role ratio if we were to run expansions

I could demarcate roles like that but I don't want to enforce the alignment ratio for any further sets. Expanded Universe will still be the whole thread, including incomplete sets. I still recommend trying to make sets balanced alignment-wise.

Fulfiller Townblock Maker wincon: You win and leave the game if the Townblock PT consists of only Town other than you. You lose and leave the game if the Townblock PT consists of no Town.

---

Winner is a win condition that is intended to be modified, as it says "You win if you confirm your role." This can be modified with almost any night-specific or conditional you wish. Yes, this role can win without being alive.

You're likely thinking of a Fulfiller. Night 6 Winner (a distinct alignment) is very hard to win as anyway, especially considering that a benign 3P can be endgamed.

Galaxian "Paths Of Tribulation"

(Galaxian alignment / Paths Of Tribulation role)

Galaxians are neutral entities that are part of the game but do not qualify as players due to not having a wincon. Being a Galaxian allows you to alter the game flow imposing conditions, challenges, curses and blessings on ALL players.
For all intents and purposes, Galaxians are not part of the player list, they do not post in the thread, they cannot vote but they can influence the game in the shadows (Galaxians share a PT with the game mods). In other words Galaxians sacrifice playing the game to influence it with Mod-Permitted

destiny actions.

This is a better fit for Grand Idea Mafia as I can't easily suss out the alignment / role split and idk what a Vanilla Galaxian or a Galaxian Dark Demon or a Town "Paths Of Tribulation" would do for example. Though in Grand Idea Mafia a Galaxian should be allowed to reroll in the setup phase if they don't want the alignment.

---

Nerfed the "nonexistent or depleted factional ability" usefulness on roles like Enforcer, now they only grant a 1-shot factional ability that does nothing by default for alignments with no factional ability (yes that would include Sunshine Club or Cult non-Leaders).

A Cult Leader has a factional ability so a Cult Leader Enforcer will roleblock and recruit their target if they use their Enforcer ability.

Reflexive Mailman: Each night, you may PM the moderator to send anyone who targets you a message of your choice. If you do not so do, blank messages will be sent. They will be informed the message came from a mailman.

---

If the player only submits the message during pre-game and whoever visits them get that message every time. I don't see why not.
If the player can actively change messages every night then they dont qualify as a demon no.

They will have to do so each night or else a blank message will be sent. They may not just set it during pregame and forget it. It really depends on whether you'd consider the reflexive mailman message setting an action or not (bear in mind, a reflexive mailman is still passive).

A Demon Dark Demon for example would keep the "Anyone investigating you will receive a message saying that you are a frightening and evil Dark Demon." passive but have the cloak in darkness ability voided (by that, that ability will not appear on the Role PM or flip).

Demons are more generalized than double groupscum, while double groupscum are Traitors demons neither have traitor notify or access to active abilities (can they use items actively?)

Changed 486 to a Static Reflexive Mailman, which only submits a message during pregame.

Strong-Willed Wagon Driver: While you are on an elimination wagon, the elimination from that wagon cannot be blocked, redirected or interfered with in any way.

---

Being able to send a message every night qualifies as active so no.

Alright, a Reflexive Mailman is still a passive role for action resolution purposes so roleblocking a Reflexive Mailman won't crash the game. The former Demon Reflexive Mailman is going to stay a Demon Static Reflexive Mailman as a Demon / active ability role card is inelegant. I still think voiding is better as some roles have passive and active components.

Same for items, they cant use items actively, but they can reverse engineer it and add them to their bodies to be used reflexively.

For example, if they get a gun thst they can shoot only during the day with 50% chance of being loud, the dark demon can set it as a reflexive shot that kills anyone targeting the demon during the day, with 50% chance of announcing the reflexive kill?

If you want to add that to the Demon faction you can, maybe as a factional ability that doesn't count as active despite being active (a Demon Enforcer is still an effective named Demon though)

Hydra: A Hydra is an independent alignment capable of growing multiple heads by targeting players and consuming them into the Hydra's main body, absorbing not only the players themselves, but also their roles and win conditions.

Essentially, a Hydra aligned player starts off by themself and every time they consume a target, the slot vanishes and the player is absorbed into the Hydra's slot. The targets also bring with them the roles and win conditions to the hydra body. Hydra may end up with multiple win conditions to pick from. All players in a Hydra's slot share a Hydra factional PT (not to be confused for a Hydra PT, which is a Notes PT for genuine Hydra accounts).

The Hydra wins when they fulfill one of those win conditions.

If the Hydra is killed, all heads die, losing the game.

Shadowhydra: You are in a Private Topic with a player outside the game (mod's discretion). For a Hydra, this includes all players absorbed into your slot.

The queue's listmod must be notified if this card rolls.

---

Hydras (the alignment) have a PT for all the players absorbed into their slot and an example two-headed Hydra would show as Guillotina + TemporalLich on the alive list right? I'd ideally not have to create accounts to support a technically third-party alignment so the PT will help coordinate things.

TemporalLich

(Survivor / TemporalLich)

You are a Survivor, and you win if you are alive when the game ends.

Whenever you are attacked, the day number reverts back one day. Anything that happened during the previous cycle will be reversed, including death and executed.
This effect does not apply when you are executed.

I likely would not use this as written - for time reversal I'd nullify the night the TemporalLich gets killed (by anything that isn't strong) and revive the day's exile and likely have it be 1-shot because a Reviver is extremely strong due to being a pseudo-Publishing Alignment Cop and also of course reviving. The Cycle number would of course not increment if the TemporalLich's NK time reversal gets triggered.

Having to undo the

previous

Night's actions is a logistical nightmare and it's impossible to take back investigation results without force replacement.

For roles that interact with the dead - I think it would be fine to spoil that a role that interacts with the dead (or Dead PT) exists but nothing else to state why spoilers are not allowed - even more power since the Dead thread will know but it will keep the Dead PT and avoid having scum out the scumteam or spoilers making it into the game thread except for the dead interaction spoiler.

194 is an example of a role interacting with the dead PT, having the Dead PT nonexistent would cause that role to continually get negative results. (though it is fairly self-evident as it created Dead VCs and it did actually make it to the first Deck of Astral Roles game - and that role somehow got a negative result).

Vanilla Mod Chooses After Picks

(

Mod Chooses After Picks

/ Vanilla)

You have no special abilities.

---

Does this work based off whether the alignment could theoretically win with town in a circumstance, or if they can in the current state of the game (without having alignment changed of course)?

For an Example

Spoiler: Post 18

Guardian Angel (Guardian Angel / Vanilla)

Alignment Section: You win if your target survives till endgame. It doesn't matter if they are endgame'd in the endgame, they have to survive to see it.

If this role has a target that is town/survivor/condemner/etc. it can win with town.
If this role has a target that is say, a mafia goon. This role can never win with town.

Would this role return an innocent result always or only if it has a target that allows it to win with town?

(There are other situations where this can come up as well so it should be clarified, like a condemner with the last townie as its target, >1 starkin with another scum group, etc.)

Scumfinder works on the wincon and doesn't take the current gamestate into account - it is an alignment investigative.

Guardian Angel is strange though, since the wincon itself may or may not be town-compatible and thus a Scumfinder can get either an innocent or a guilty on one.

If the moderator rolls "Division By Zero" due to your ability you lose the game.

can we not have a modkill due to bad luck?

Division By Zero (and the similar card called VETO) would be treated by me as a reroll anyway since it is being rolled outside setup generation and therefore is counted as being a forced pick, though since that is not applied you'd have no special abilities.

I mean the risk element is there (you have a 1-shot ability to stop drawing and become effectively Vanilla) but that might not be fun so idk

If you are targeted by a wind-based ability, you will Commute for that Night by turning into dust for that Night, becoming unable to act or be targeted that Night.

Flipless: Your flip is suppressed.

The role description is actually imprecise, then. Based on what I see here, outside of the mod notes, I would not think that this affects roles that prevent flips on death(e.g. Flipless Enabler).

apparently you think a Janitor or Flipless Enabler (do not add this role) doesn't suppress flips and instead literally destroys them to the point of irretrivability.

well True Flip is meant to never have a suppressed/hidden/destroyed flip.

"X has died during the night." is still a flip despite it being suppressed!

The first DoAR game also had Luke Hobbs be treated as a True Flip, which actually did lead to a flip being true despite being janitored

This card cannot be removed by other cards or discarded privately.

-2 or less - The mod flavor becomes motivational.

2 or more - The mod flavor becomes creepy.

4 or more - Mafia and Werewolf kills become Strong-Willed unless they are targeting Dark Creatures.

6 or more - There is a 20% chance for each Results PM to be consumed by the darkness, having the PM only say "

This Results PM was consumed by the darkness.

"

8 or more - A random non-Dark Creature player is consumed by the darkness, disappearing without a flip and becoming unable to be interacted with even by dead interacting roles. This effect only triggers once in the game.

currently in the game will sail away on their ship (permanently leave the game victorious).
Alignments that are completely wiped out do not count for this win condition, thus you may win by getting rid of other teams.

X Marks The Spot: Whenever you target a marked player, you will gain a random 1-shot invention from a random active role in the Deck of Astral Roles.

1 player will randomly gain the "Marked" role, which makes them marked from the start of the game.

I am not sure if Astral Creatures and Pirates satisfy the conditions for Groupscum.

Neither of those would be considered scum according to a Scumfinder.

I still consider them groupscum because group benign 3P isn't a thing even though Pirates are the closest thing to a grouped benign 3P in DoAR.

Werewolves still want to get rid of Astral Creatures and they count as groupscum for Werewolves, it's just that Astral Creatures are town-compatible groupscum.

As a member of the

you have a special condition under which you are star-aligned. (determined by alignment card) When you are star aligned, your actions have a greater effect. Being star-aligned lasts for one night, unless the conditions are met the next night as well.

The

have a one shot factional ability to star-align one member for that night, this ability is inherently strong-willed and multitasking. The starkin also have a factional visit each night, making one member visit a player for no effect.

You win when you compose >=50% of the currently alive players, after which you will leave and win the game. This does not end the game, unless the game would otherwise immediately end in a town win, in which case

You will be star aligned if the deciding vote was cast by Town the previous Day. While you are star aligned, you may charge someone with a mysterious energy.

You managed to roll post 999. Enjoy having the introductory post in your Role PM. You are a named Townie. You have no special abilities.



Welcome to the Deck of Astral Roles thread. This is a role list quite like Grand Idea Mafia that is going to be used in a 13-player Mini Theme I will be running. This will be more structured than the actual Grand Idea Mafia thread however.

The Deck of Astral Roles game is a custom Grandest Idea Mafia (Greatest Idea Mafia rules, but with a Grand Idea Mafia esque deck) with a size of 300 or 1000. For this game, the moderator randomizes a number from 0 to 999 or the last post if 999 doesn't exist yet (this specific range is known as the Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe) three times for each player and gives role cards corresponding to the rolled post number. The player will then be asked to choose one card for their alignment, one card for their role, and to publically discard the remaining card. For the Classic Deck of Astral Roles, the randomization range is instead 0 to 299.

The Classic Deck of Astral Roles proper had a fixed alignment ratio. The ratio was 100

Town

/ 30

Mafia

/ 30

Werewolf

/ 15

Alien

/ 10

Cult

/ 15

Third-Party

/ 20

Mod Discretion

/ 80

Free Space

.

Aliens

are a scumteam with a 1-shot factional kill and a 1-shot "alien tech" factional invention from a random active role in the Deck of Astral Roles that wins ties in endgame.

Cult

is a scumteam with one Cult Leader. The cult picks the Cult Leader from all the Cultists during pregame. Picking the Cult Leader adds on to the existing role and always works under any circumstance. The Cult Leader is a special role (which can be used with a personal ability as if it were a factional ability) that changes alignment to Cult, though it will fail on groupscum with living partners and will fail if either the Cult Leader or the target die that Night. The Cult Leader may not recruit more than 25% of the playerlist at one time. The Cult Leader will flip as a Cult Leader.

Third-Party

slots can be filled with any third party like

Serial Killer

or

Jester

.

Mod Discretion

slots can be filled with

or

Mod Chooses Before Picks

.

Free Spaces

may be filled with any alignment, this includes rare scumteams such as
