Then, "1st attack unsuccessful" is not a very good solution. It turns out that in the 1st turn, it can attack anyone, knowing that it will miss, and then get a kill every turn. Here, an alternative to "50% miss chance" would be to give it an attack with a 1-turn cooldown (killed someone today - rest tomorrow, you're still young). Or 2 turns, depending on how "evil" the city should be.

Oh, while I was writing, someone else already wrote it... :D

Yeah, the statuses are less obvious now than last time.
Why is the mafia split? Weird.
I don’t get why you’d hand it out as a separate document when you could just put everything up on HeroesWorld at once, but that’s just nitpicking, whatever.
Overall, I have no objections for now — just one thing: before the game, it’s better to re-read the setup and tidy it up a bit, because the status sometimes creeps into the middle of a role and stuff like that. And add short descriptions of each role, a couple of lines each. Ideally, pictures too, but those might be tricky — I, for example, haven’t watched or read "Eragon", so for me the characters are "who are all these people", and I won’t understand a thing in the newspaper.

I'll be using screenshots from the movie, but there's a problem. The movie wasn't made by the most talented person. He made several plot changes; for example, Elva is missing from the movie. So, I'll have to find a picture of a young girl with something glowing on her forehead. Angela is portrayed strangely in the movie, so I'll have to find a different picture. I'll write the reference information, but first, I'll work on the balance.

Regarding balance – after a quick read, I understood that there are two, maybe three, strong synergies in the city, and overall, half of the roles are familiar with each other. This might be too obvious.

2 pairs, the rest with quests. I will closely monitor the hints so that they don't reveal their role knowledge.

Those who meet each other through a quest do not get acquainted. And it will be difficult for them to understand who met whom, so there will be no giveaway.

Ah, well, in that case, it's okay.

I'm not posting it on Heroes Community because it's not finished yet. I still need to refine Elw and Solembum. And I need to find some pictures. Without them, it doesn't look good.

The board game publisher HobbyGames just sent me an announcement about a werewolf-themed mafia game, in which, according to the publisher, up to 68 people can participate. That many people is, of course, complete chaos, but considering the variety of roles (40 of them), games with 10-20 people will be quite interesting.
What's the point of this? I just wanted to share the rulebook here, in case you find some interesting roles in it (they start on page 25).

Assign a random player as the "dummy." They won't know they're the dummy, and their vote during the count will always be counted as a kill.

Stole half of the roles from different sets on HeroesWorld :3

I slightly modified the set and introduced a system of personal achievements and rewards.

Oh, that’s great. I’m reminiscing about the Time of Troubles again, haha.

https://yadi.sk/d/c8mBOyOheYWaw I reread Eragon and made some changes. I moved Murtagh and his dragon to the side of the Necropolis faction. I removed the flapping-winged shadow and Barst. Instead of them, I added Oromis and Glaedr to the city. I haven't decided yet how to implement Elvu's precognition ability. And I'm also not entirely sure what special abilities Murtagh and Thorn should have on the side of the Necropolis faction.

I've gathered some images for several characters. An unexpected problem arose – I can't find a good werewolf cat image.

Draw it!
