It's confusing. Very confusing. In my humble opinion, more than half of the names don't really convey anything about the character's personality, and the pictures are even less informative.

I plan to run a game.

If so, then reduce the number of status effects. No more than two.
Consider reducing the number of non-player characters (NPCs). The guiding principle: perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing more to remove.
Roles from the book are undoubtedly a good thing. Don't forget to add more details to their descriptions, which you can then use in the newspapers.

Yes, some questions arise regarding the roles, and perhaps something should be changed.

ND 2 – Emperor's Rage (mental attack against the target through blocks) – once every two nights.

Is this a kill?

Iterator Kirill
Psionic Kai

Can they not kill at all?

ND 1 – use a Gauss pistol (100% kills the target, if there is no guard) – once every two nights
ND 2 – kill (when all servants are dead)

So, he can use the first one from the beginning?

ND 4 – infection

+1 maniac or a team is formed?

Acquires the target's characteristics.

And what does that mean?) A new demon is created, inheriting characteristics from its parent?

Maybe the Gauss pistol should be limited to one use per game? Otherwise, it's too overpowered. And after the minions die, it's just a regular kill.

Does +1 maniac or a team form?

A new maniac appears from the infected only when the old one dies.

Well, Lokoko found something to complain about even here.

Well, he was mentioned in the setting, so how could he not complain? But I generally agree with him; it was a mistake to include these space marines. An option with guards and genestealers, for example, would have been better, in my opinion.

ND 2 – Emperor's Fury (mental attack against the target through blocks) – once every two nights.
Is this a kill?

Yes.

Iterator Kirill
Psion Kai
Can't they kill at all?

They can't.

ND 1 – use a Gauss pistol (100% kills the target, if there is no guard) – once every two nights
ND 2 – kill (when all minions are dead)
So, he can use the first one from the beginning?

Yeah... but it sounds stupid...

ND 4 – Infection
+1 maniac or a team is formed?
Quote:
Acquires the target's traits.
And what does that mean?) Does a new demon get traits from its parent?

The maniac is reborn in the infected one, but only after the previous maniac dies.

I don't know much about Tyranids

It's perfectly normal to read a book and decide to create a custom setting based on it; no deep understanding is required.
We've already had a very interesting Mafia game based on the book "Stalker," and everyone enjoyed it.

Well, then we could play out the Horus Heresy with the Emperor and 18 Primarchs. I just haven't been able to fully develop that idea.

We had a very interesting Mafia game based on the book "Stalker" before, and everyone enjoyed it.

Yes, I remember. It was very captivating.

Vistrit is a guard dog. Hmm, the idea with the maniac is good, yes. And if he infects several, does the first one transform?

It's a rather complex set, though...

Hmm, the idea with the maniac is good, yes. And if he infects several, does the first one transform?

Well, I was thinking like this... he only infects one (if successful, the ND no longer applies)... if the infection is successful, he finds out about it... if not, the reason isn't stated.
