THE VILLAGE

VILLAGER

The Villager is the basic building block of the game and an important member of the Village for voting blocks and figuring out who the Mafia is. The Villager doesn't have any role actions to complete at night, but that's not a bad thing! The Villager can focus on the chat and try to figure out who is the most suspicious. The Villager votes every day unless arrested by the Deputy.

The Villager cannot visit anyone, but can be visited by all visiting roles. They can also be framed, sniped, and crept (non-visits).

COP

The Cop is the traditional leader of the Village as they obtain new information every night. The Cop investigates one person and receives in-tell as to whether that person is sided with the Village or Mafia. The Cop graduated from the top of their class at the police academy and has worked a lifetime to track down their nemesis, the Godfather. The Cop will die when investigating a Granny and cannot discover the identity of a Godfather. They receive false in-tell if they investigate a framed person. An investigation of the Fool will appear to be sided with the Village. The Cop can still get investigation results even when toasted if there are two cops and they both investigated. They work with the other Cops/Deputies at night and can communicate with them in Cop Chat.

DOCTOR

The Doctor chooses someone to save each night. That person will not die if they are killed the same night as the Doctor visits, or if they were toasted the previous night. The Doctor is a top-level medic, but is working alone and can only save one person per night. Some say he has a fear of dying and has been known to save himself more than others. What a guy, huh? If the Doctor is toasted, they will not be able to save anyone that night. They can be killed by visiting the Granny and their visits are seen by the Creeper. The Doctor can save one person nightly, including themselves. If someone is killed twice in one night, it will require two Doctors to save them. To save someone from a Toaster, the Doctor needs to save them the night after they were toasted. If the Doctor saves someone the night that person visits the Granny, that person will be saved from the Granny.

SNIPER

The Sniper is the village vigilante. They have one bullet to use for the whole game, starting night two. The Sniper's goal is to kill a member of the Mafia at night. It's rumored that the Sniper does 360 no-scopes from a warehouse rooftop just outside the village, mainly to keep their distance from the Granny. While the Sniper may have perfect accuracy, they forgot to buy more than one bullet. Again. The Sniper does not lose their bullet if toasted, but they can't snipe on the night they are toasted. The Sniper does not die to Granny and is not seen by Creeper. They are awarded another bullet when revived by the Gravedigger, even if they already shot.

GRANNY

The Granny kills everyone who visits her at night. The Granny comes out of the living room with a shotgun and shoots anytime she hears someone in the house, even if the person is innocent. She kills visiting members of both the Village and Mafia in a reckless massacre. Although she has paranoia problems, she bakes great cookies. If you could get into her house without getting shot (which you can't), you'd have to try them. The Granny does not kill Framer, Creeper, or Sniper (they do not visit). The Granny can still be voted out during the day phase like anyone else, and she can also be blown up by the Kamikaze. She's only dangerous at nighttime. The Granny cannot visit anyone. They kill all visiting roles. Framer, Creeper, and Sniper are non-visiting roles so they do not die to Granny. The Granny can die to the Sniper, although the Sniper obviously does not want to kill the Granny. The Kamikaze can blow up the Granny. She is just like any other Village member during the day phase.

CREEPER

The Creeper is the hero the Village deserves. The Creeper is a nosy neighbor who sits and watches one person's house every night and sees everyone who visits. Since the Godfather cannot be discovered by Cops, Creeper is often more useful than Cop late in games when all the Mafia members are dead and only the Godfather is left. The Creeper sees visits from the Mafia, Godfather, Toaster, Interrogator, Cop, Deputy, and Doctor. They do not see Sniper, as the Sniper snipes from far away. They do not see Framer, as the Framer does not visit. The Creeper cannot be seen by other Creepers, and the Creeper does not die to Granny, as the Creeper does not visit but watches from afar.

BULLETPROOF

Commonly known as the BP, the Bulletproof is equipped with a Kevlar vest that protects her from the first attack on her. She says that she would take a bullet for anyone, but the vest is really just for herself. The BP is an important member of the Village because she deprives the Mafia of a kill the night she's attacked, and her role is shown in the library when attacked so you know to trust her. Like the Villager, she focuses on the chat and tries to figure out who else is sided with the Village. She won't need a Doctor as long as she still has her vest. It's not possible to prevent the BP from losing her body armor, but it is possible to save her once her vest is gone. The Bulletproof cannot visit anyone, but she can be visited by all visiting roles. She can be framed, sniped, and crept (non-visits). She dies if the Mafia kills her the night after she was toasted (the toast de-vests her and then the Mafia attack kills her). A Doctor cannot save a vested Bulletproof and can only save her after the vest is gone. If a Kamikaze blows up a BP with her vest, the Bulletproof will lose her vest but not die.

GRAVEDIGGER

The Gravedigger (also known as GD) is a necromancer who can talk to the dead at night in the Graveyard. When he chooses to, the Gravedigger can revive a member of the Village any night, dying in their place. At first it seemed that his enthusiasm for graveyards was somewhat disturbing, but most of the village does end up over there eventually. Apparently he's quite popular there! If the graveyard was MySpace, this guy would be Tom. Upon his own death, he asked for his gravestone to read "in remembrance of Steven" who we think was his...shovel? The Gravedigger cannot visit at night. There can only be one Gravedigger in any game. He can be toasted, which prevents him from reviving that night. The Gravedigger can still revive if sniped or killed by the Mafia on the night he revives.

DEPUTY

The Deputy works alongside their fellow Cops, although they work from a satellite police station on the south side of the Village. The Deputy communicates with the Cops in the Cop Chat at night. The Deputy arrests someone every night if they choose to, preventing that person from voting the following day. The Deputy also prevents Kamikaze from blowing up.

TRAVELER

The Traveler is passing through the Village in his van and decides to stay for a few days. The Traveler can travel to one person's house every night, and becomes the recipient of whatever role actions were being performed on that person. He's known for always keeping a guitar around and writes songs under the name Mob Barley. The Traveler absorbs the actions of all roles that visit the person the Traveler travels to. The Traveler can travel to anyone and absorb those actions, but the Traveler does die to Granny. If Role X visits the Granny and the Traveler visits Role X, Role X still dies to Granny because they died by going TO Granny. The Traveler would only absorb actions that happened TO Role X. The Traveler is a visiting role, so he is seen by the Creeper. The Traveler can be toasted, and does not visit anyone if toasted.

THE MAFIA

MAFIA

The regular Mafia (often called Reg) kills someone every night. These fellas are a family like you've never seen, and you wouldn't suspect that they stay up all night deciding who's life to ruin. Don't get on their bad side or let them know your suspicions. It might be the last thing you do. The regular Mafia can be investigated by the Cops and can be caught by the Creeper. The Mafia is susceptible to the Granny's shotgun. The Mafia does not kill the Bulletproof on the first attack, but if they've already been de-vested then they can.

GODFATHER

The Godfather (GF) is a powerful member of the mafia as he cannot be found by the Cops. He appears innocent when investigated. The Godfather can kill someone every night, but it's best to let regular Mafia do the killing if they are still alive. This is because the GF can be caught by the Creeper, and also because you risk hitting Granny and it is worse to lose GF than regular Mafia. Once the Godfather is dead, the Cops know that every investigation that comes up innocent is a member of the Village, which allows them to confirm innocent people quickly. This is bad for you as Mafia. The Godfather is a mob boss, a master of deception, and a smooth talker. He leaves no indication that he's guilty when the Cops show up. The Godfather is the only mafia member that cannot be found by the Cops. However, he can be caught by the Creeper. He can also be sniped by the Sniper or killed by the Granny. He cannot vote when arrested.

FRAMER

The Framer chooses someone every night and makes that person appear guilty to the Cops. He is an expert in jury science and knows exactly what evidence will be needed by the prosecution in the courtroom. The Framer hides someone's jacket at the murder scene of the Mafia's latest victim. You would think the Cops would catch on to this trick, but it gets them every time. The Framer doesn't need to enter someone's house to frame them, so he cannot be killed by the Granny or seen by the Creeper. The Framer can frame anyone and is never seen by the Creeper. The Framer is a non-visiting role. Since he doesn't enter anyone's house, the Granny doesn't kill him.

KAMIKAZE

The Kamikaze (AKA Kami) chooses someone to blow up during the day phase and that person dies with them. They cannot blow up when arrested by the Deputy. The Kamikaze has a growing side business counseling others and has helped many people work through their problems. He has a good heart, but is ironically riddled with a deep underlying problem himself. Nothing makes the Kami more angry than being accused, and he'll take out anyone who opposes him, even if it's the last thing he does. Can blow up someone during the day phase unless arrested. BP does not die if Kami blows up vested BP. If BP has already been de-vested, then the Kami blow will kill them. Blowing up the GD will prevent a revive; blowing up Doc will guarantee a two-kill night for the Mafia, unless they hit BP or Granny. Blowing up Sniper who still has their bullet will prevent the Sniper from taking out a Mafia member with their bullet, but if you suspect the Sniper is going to snipe an innocent (inno), don't blow them up. Let them snipe. Never blow up the toasted person! You are wasting the toast when you do that.

TOASTER

The Toaster chooses someone to toast each night. The person who is toasted will not be able to perform their role actions that night, and will die the following night unless saved by the Doctor. The Toaster's toast is poisonous premium organic rye bread, and it is lethal if not treated. Finding toast on your doorstep is both a blessing and a curse. It tastes so incredible that you'll completely forget about doing your role. The Toaster can be killed by the Granny. They are seen by the Creeper. The Cop can still get investigation results even if toasted if there are two cops and they both investigated. Re-toasting a Doctor will kill them unless they are saved by another Doctor. Toast-killing someone will both roleblock them AND kill them that night, but then there won't be any active toast so you won't have a chance to kill two people the following night.

INTERROGATOR

The Interrogator visits someone nightly and discovers their exact role the next day by interrogating them, but the person has no recollection of being interrogated. The Interrogator is a former special agent who was hardened by the criminal justice system and now works for the bad guys instead. The Interrogator is a visiting role, so she dies to Granny. She is also seen by Creeper. She goes into the person's house and interrogates them. The Interrogator can be discovered by the Cops.

MAID

The Maid is an expert in cleaning hired by the Mafia to clean up their dirty work. The Maid visits someone who is being killed and prevents their role from being revealed in the Library. When the Maid cleans up a kill, she does not find out the dead person's role. Their role is not revealed anywhere (unless interrogated). The role is never revealed, even after the Maid dies. The Maid has to visit the person dying to clean up their death. She cannot kill on her own. The Maid can be killed by the Granny because the Maid is a visiting role. She has to go to the murder scene to clean up the death. She can also be seen by the Creeper. The Maid votes at day like everyone else unless arrested. She only cleans; she can't kill, so if there are no killing mafia left, she won't be able to do anything. The Maid can be discovered by the Cops.

ROBBER

The Robber is the mafioso who specializes in burglary. The Robber is stealthy and does not visit. He robs quietly. Two times per game, the Robber can choose someone to steal from. He can steal the Bulletproof's vest, the Sniper's bullet, or the Gravedigger's shovel. Those roles will not recover their stolen items for the rest of the game. They will be notified that they were robbed the morning after the robbery. The Robber is stealthy and does not visit, so he cannot be killed by the Granny or caught by the Creeper. If the Robber tries to rob someone and the Traveler visits the person, the Robber won't be able to steal anything other than the Traveler's guitar, which does nothing.

INDEPENDENT

FOOL

The Fool is a Harvard graduate who moved into the Village to start her own small business, but was unsuccessful. In fact, the members of the Village hated the Fool's marketing scheme so much that they shunned her and made her into the Village Fool. The Fool wins the game by being voted out at the Courthouse. The Fool is an independent role, meaning that she's a part of her own faction. If the Fool wins, she is the sole winner of the game. She has to be voted out at daytime to win. If she is killed at night, she loses. If she is alive at the end of the game, she loses.  The Village Fool cannot visit anyone. They are like a Villager who wants to be voted out. They can be visited by anyone at night, and will show up as innocent to the Cops. For that reason, she may want to leverage her suspicion so that she doesn't get investigated because once the Godfather is dead, if she seems to be acting suspicious, the Cops will know she's probably the Fool because she appeared innocent. Nemesis is King George III.

KING GEORGE III

King George III (Or KG3) is the opposite of the fool. A graduate of Yale University with one goal in mind: To be the village fool. Instead he ended up starting a small business which everyone loves. KG3 wins the game by being killed by the mafia at night. If he is voted out during the day, he loses. If he lasts until the end of the game, he loses. KG3 can visit everyone but can do nothing. His business is so popular even the Granny won't kill him, which is saying something. He is like a villager who wants to be targeted by the mafia. He cannot be visited by anyone but the cops and will show up innocent. If the GF is out it doesn't affect him. Nemesis is the Fool.
