This is a dedicated thread for users to bounce around and brainstorm on ideas for new roles, items, game mechanics or anything else to improve and build upon our beloved Mafia game.

Back in 2015 Sims made a thread asking if anyone had any ideas for roles since Lucid was looking to make some new ones (found here: https://epicmafia.com/topic/71173?page=1) That thread's dead now, but it's always good to try to bring the community together and come up with new stuff for the game.

Some of you might know my reputation for designing new roles and my passion for Mafia. EpicMafia is a pretty cool website and can always use some new stuff to spice up and remix the usual game formula, and I know a few of you have ideas of your own.

NOTE: If you're here to complain about Sandbox moderation or the site mods, please don't.

Bounty Hunter:
- Receives 4 targets in the first night.
- Wins if succesfully kills all 4 targets.
- Receives a gun/knife at random each day, which don't reveal.
- 3rd Party.

if anyone has improvements or revisions of any kind please do so, because I'm not sure if it's quite right yet




does the target list refresh if someone killsteals?


wasnt in my original idea but might be a good addition. I'm worried it would make the role too OP though

If we need another mafia-sided role, I really liked the Wiretapper role that Golbolco made. -- https://epicmafia.com/role/13482

looks good to me! although maybe it would be just fine facing upwards.

slasher

- unless visited, crafts a knife for themselves every night
- knife attack never reveals
- sided with mafia

role icon should be ghostface killer from scream


Eh, I think I did an alright job with this one, but I couldn't figure out how to turn the knife upside down like the killer from the film does in his pose without making it look goofy. Maybe turn it on its side or something?

Engineer: Can choose to build a robot once during a game

The robot will randomly kill a player during the night


that doesn't sound town-sided at all

Absolutely. Foxie and sl0nderman both have some great mafia roles floating around, too (rest in peace Deceiver.)
