For those of you who don't know how to play Mafia (Yes they do exist) I'll break it down as simple as I can:
When the round beings, players are assigned random roles. These roles belong to either one or two groups: The townspeople (townies) and the Mafia. The townspeople's job is to try to figure out who the mafia is, and will vote on one person to lynch per day. The mafia's job is to pick the townies off one by one, until their numbers are equivalent to the townie roles. There's a lot of special roles but for the most part that's the basic purpose of it all, special roles allied with the townies are still trying to kill the mafia and special roles allied with the mafia are still trying to kill the mafia. Heavy discussion is encouraged.
The roles you can be assigned are:
Spoiler : roles :
Townie: Generic townsperson
Mafia: Generic mafiaman
Doctor: Can choose one person every night phase, will save them if the mafia targets them. Town sided.
Cop: Chooses one person to investigate per night, will discover if they are town or mafia, but not their role.
Fool: Wins the game if lynched, but not if killed by any other means. Independent.
Armorer: Can craft a gun every odd numbered day (recipient of gun must call out their target publically, will kill unless vested) and a vest every even numbered day (protects from nightkills and hunter shot but not from any other methods of death) and give it to another person. Cannot keep equipment for himself. Townie side.
Lover: Can choose to love a target before game start, is locked to that target. If the lover target or the lover is night or daykilled before next night phase then both of them will die. Independent, wins if living at end.
Stripper: You know, that one girl who goes over to the Night Phase people and makes sure they get nothing done that night. Except... well, come on, you know. Townie side.
Hunter: Will kill a random mafia if mafia killed on night phase. Townie side.
Miller: Town sided, but will appear guilty if investigated.
Lunatic: Will kill a person at random, if lynched. Townie side.
Killer: Kills one person every night, wins if last man standing. Independent.
Yakuza: Mafia converter, can convert a townie into generic maf by sacrificing self.
Shrink: Can protect a person from being converted every night. Town side.
Governor: His votes count twice. He also has the ability to negate a lynch, once per game.
Thief: Can steal a gun that the Gunsmith has left at someone's house, or the Bulletproof's vest if it still exists. Can try to steal once per night phase, Mafia sided.
Stalker: Mafia sided, can investigate a townie to find out their role once per night.
Framer: Can choose one person per night, that person will appear guilty if investigated. Sided with mafia.

First off, it's called a 'hooker,' not a 'striper.'
Also we could use a governor. Maybe throw in a lover to spice things up. But it depends on how big of a crowd this draws. But yeah, sign me up for this.

I know that, I'm trying to be family-friendly here!
And, hmm... would it be OP if I gave the Governer double-vote as well as the ability to go "lol Nolynch" once a game?

I'm not sure if replacing it with stripper makes it more family-friendly. xD
Well since the only reason I would think a governor would override a lynch would be the save himself I see no reason why not to give him double-vote power.

One question: Will Hunter/Hero still kill someone if stripper chooses them that night as well? I mean you could argue that its a passive effect that will always work (like bulletproof)... but you could also say it's a night action that only triggers if they are killed/converted, but can be blocked.
Hunter doesn't kill someone when stripper visits them usually so I don't see why Hero would.

I kind of agree with Professor deHughes, but I'm not sure what else can be done. Maybe a Thief that could steal and use a townie's gun? Kind of a weak role generally, but pretty strong if you get a good read, but we already have a lot of those roles already...

Will thief balance it? (I'm considering making it so he can steal BP's vest too), and if not, what will?
