Oh lol, that's brilliant. LET'S PLAY ONLINE, WHO CARES ABOUT THE QUEUE!

Gur, Thor and Nebo are simply amazing, just incredible. I was moved to tears. Morni, I would have created a hundred Battlemages if I could. The only downside: I still see myself on the dark side.

The only downside: I still see myself on the dark side)))

I'll recruit you. The game master simply forgot to add the ability – elephants are so cute, they can charm anyone.

I hope my ability will outshine the Celestial one, as I am more intelligent and cunning. But yes, I would play; some roles are amusing.

Couldn't resist. :)
Plus one role on the side of the town:

Togz

ND: Young Padawan - uses any ND available in the game, but due to inexperience, the chance of success is only 25%.
Features: Object of admiration - if Gila is killed or executed, he switches to the side of the mafia, gaining the Murder ND, and if Hostor is alive, there is a 50% chance that he will not leave any clues: he will cover it up.
Status: negative

well, Tox is definitely a guild:smile07:

A ferocious killer.

Implies an overnight stay, doesn't it?

He definitely drank too much. :smile07:

And he didn't even have any snacks.

The only downside: I still see myself on the dark side)))

If there were more roles, I would choose a negative one or even a maniac.

Does it imply an overnight stay, right?

Yeah, right. With a preliminary cleaning of the attic using buckshot.

Pew-pew-pew.
A few more ideas came to mind.

1. I took the special ability with resurrection from Rogue and gave it to Genie, because the former doesn't even know how to resurrect! And the latter might have such an ability.
But I'm also thinking of giving Rogue the following ability, which would definitely suit her, but does she even need it?

Life Drain - If someone from the peaceful roles comes to her on the night of the murder, they can sacrifice themselves and give their life, along with all their special abilities, for 1 day.

Here it is.

2. Maybe change the Storm special ability and make it possible to use it not just once per game, but at least once every three or four nights?

Special Ability: Elemental Power - Once per game, it can summon a storm that makes it impossible to use special abilities.

Here it is.

3. I've changed a few more special abilities, but that's not up for discussion. And I'm also thinking about the possibility of Apocalypse recruiting Gambit if Sinister is dead. This idea came to me after I learned that Gambit was once on Apocalypse's team (although I don't remember which universe, but that's not important)

Life Steal - if one of the peaceful roles visits the victim at night, they can sacrifice themselves and give their life, along with all their skills and traits, for 1 day.

I didn't understand this.
Please explain the mechanics of this ability.

the killer approaches Rogue and eliminates her. On the same night, a neutral player uses a negative spell on her. I inform him that he can sacrifice himself to save this player (Rogue). After that, he decides what to do. It's a questionable feature, as it's unlikely that anyone would sacrifice themselves, but it can be added for realism and to make it more similar to the original.

I've slightly adjusted the setting and added some images to it.
I'm interested in players' opinions on whether they would play it and how balanced it is.
So please, don't stay on the sidelines—comment and vote.

Synopsis

Alchemy is the science of transforming matter from one form to another. Its main rule states: you can obtain something only by giving something of equal value in return. Applied in many areas of life, alchemy involves a three-stage process conducted using a transmutation circle. The first step is the recognition of the substance's structure (analysis), the second is decomposition, and the third is recomposition (synthesis). As a result of the transformation process, the substance and parts of an object change their characteristics, but the quantity and properties of the matter are always preserved. Alchemists consume tectonic shift energy for transmutation.

Two young alchemists—the Elric brothers—tried to bring back to life their mother, who died of illness. But the transformation process was not successful, for it is impossible to resurrect the dead even with alchemy. As a result of this mistake, the older brother, Edward, lost his leg, and the younger, Alphonse, lost his entire body. However, at the cost of his own arm, Edward managed to attach his brother's soul to their father's antique knight armor—a father who had long since left their family. After recovering from his wounds and replacing his limbs with auto-prosthetics, the older brother decides to join the army as a State Alchemist, as he plans to use military resources to find information about the Philosopher's Stone, which, according to legend, can help them regain their bodies…

Meanwhile, an ambitious Colonel Roy Mustang, also a State Alchemist, is transferred to the capital. Having fought in the war in the Ishbal district, the young man became disillusioned with his country's state system. Indeed, Amestris is a totalitarian, militarized state that is aggressive toward others. But in the capital, the Colonel realized that everything was much worse. The country is ruled not even by humans, but by Homunculi—artificially created beings that only resemble humans. The entire ruling elite has sold out to them, and they themselves have been fueling military conflicts with neighbors since the founding of the country. Their goal is to create a transmutation circle from places of bloodshed and perform a process of transmutation over the entire state. The Colonel was terrified even to imagine what that would be, but one thing he knew for sure—the Homunculi must be discredited and stopped…

After that, he married his girlfriend and spent most of his time with his family, as much as his office work allowed.

NA. 1) Kills a chosen player using his alchemy.

Traits. Absolute Shield. Cannot be killed physically by weapons. The only way to defeat him is to decompose his armor into soft components using alchemy. Thus, he can only be killed by Kimblee, Grand, and Scar.

Status. Civilian, does not possess alchemy.

Victory conditions. No one remains except Greed.

I don't see the point in adding this feature...
Redirects are sufficient, IMHO.

I cannot pre-determine whether I will be able to participate in a game set in a specific world. Not because I dislike it (I think most settings are interesting, and I believe many would agree), but because you haven't yet decided on the timeframe, and I don't know when I will be very busy and when I will have more free time.
However, I do like the setting.
