Workshop

I don't know why I'm doing this, but for some reason I remembered that what I enjoyed most in Mafia was GMing, and a setting just sort of came to me on its own. I doubt I'll actually run it — I just threw it together out of love for the craft and because I got fired up by the idea.



Bruce Wayne
Billionaire, playboy, owner of the giant corporation "Wayne Enterprises." He is also the Dark Knight of Gotham, a genius detective and the scourge of the criminal underworld.

 - Protection from the first attack.
Ultimate DD:
 - Receives the full solution to a clue from the GM.
ND:
 - Guard.
 - Status check.
Aggressive



Richard Grayson
A hereditary circus performer whose parents tragically died in an "accident." He was adopted by Bruce Wayne.

Features:
 - When crossing paths with Bruce or Richard, learns of the fact of the crossing. Does not learn who exactly.

Passive



Harvey Dent
District attorney, a good friend of Bruce. Suffers from a split personality.
Harvey Dent's features:
 - Double vote.
 - If during the game he crosses paths with someone from the criminal team three times (including if a clue was left on him or he executed someone), he joins them and turns into Two-Face, changes his status and loses all previous abilities.
Harvey Dent's ultimate DD:
 - Execution. Closes the day. The role of the executed player is revealed.
Passive
Two-Face's ND:
 - Kill. Leaves no clues or ignores protection from the first attack, each option has a 50% chance.
Aggressive



Harvey Bullock

ND:
 - Kill.
Aggressive

 - Heal.
Passive

The most dangerous criminal in Gotham, a psychopathic maniac with a twisted and cruel sense of humor.

Crossing — one player goes to another, or both go to the same target.

The overall atmosphere of the game is semi-detective, so there are a lot of NDs involving clues and surveillance, which is why the town consists of police officers and sympathizers, and that's also why I picked the Riddler as the third wheel on the mafia team. For the second maniac I wanted to make Clayface, Scarecrow, or the Mad Hatter, but I decided not to betray myself. As you may recall, I love making two maniacs: one all sneaky and cunning, the other just walks around and offs everyone. The "cunning" maniac role was taken by Catwoman, so I went with Croc. Though for the sake of the atmosphere, it could be swapped. Then again, it's not like anyone's actually going to play this.
