I don't have any questions about the mechanics yet, as I need to reread it, but I'll share my general impressions now.
I really like it. It's like a mafia game in the best traditions of Revan - Eastern aesthetics, beautiful men and women, lore, many strong roles.
I think it will be very cool!

Let's start discussing the mechanics with Revan:
- Despot. Cannot be executed or lose his voice; his vote counts as two.
- Autocracy. Ends the voting at his discretion. Once per game.
- Stalker. If the target is female, he doesn't kill her but blocks her for two nights.
- If he is attacked, he redirects the attack to another player (chosen in advance). He does not redirect players to themselves; members of the mafia cannot kill each other - in this case, the kill does not occur and is not displayed in the newspaper. Cannot be used more than three times.
Will the newspaper show that the kill was initially intended for Shendet but was redirected to another player?
- Sleight of Hand. Prevents the chosen player from using one of his night actions the following night. Can use it instead of him without knowing the effect.
- Protective Talisman. Protects the chosen player from Necoran's night action (works once, can be applied to himself).
- Legends of Vistaria (summoned hero of the past) - Kagura. Can use any available night action in the game except for killing, ultimate, and Necoran's night actions, but not repeating them for two nights in a row (has higher priority and can use them on himself).
- Diplomacy. If he is the only one left on his team, he can name a player and, through the GM, offer him to become a member of the mafia; the answer will depend on the accepting side, but Chinax automatically refuses, while Alm automatically accepts this offer.
- Forgery of Orders. Redirects the chosen player to another target the following night.
- Cleave. Kills the chosen player; if it hits another player's protection, it kills the protector, but not the original target; if it hits healing, it kills the healer, but not the original target.
- Necromancy. Returns one of the previously killed roles to "life" and can control its actions. After Chinax's death, he also regains the ability to vote. Necromancy does not work on executed and exiled characters. Puppets can be eliminated with: exorcism, execution, re-kill. If the action is successful, it leaves a clue. Once per game, he can use necromancy on a living player, ignoring any protective mechanisms except for block and isolation.
Blocks are displayed identically and always.
Unsuccessful kills are only described in the case of successful healing or external protection.
