So, I've been enjoying the mafia games with all the different types of cops, and I've been enjoying Sherlock. So, why not combine the two?

EDIT: I've modified the roles slightly, and one of them is pretty spoilery. So... yeah. Don't click on the spoiler tag if you don't want to see the name of the new miller.

Still need to figure out names for a few roles. But, any comments or criticisms are welcome.

Does everyone receive the name of their role if they're on the police squad or are they just told that there's a cop? Otherwise, Mycroft, Dimmick, and Donovan all know they're useless and that kind of defeats the point of their roles.

If they were all told "Cop" it would work, and then have the role name revealed on death.

Right. It's just if they're told you're Lestrade you're Mycroft you're whatever it won't work.

Everyone is just told that they're a cop, and the names get reveal on death/in flavor.

Modified, and added a few roles.

Why is Molly needed? Is this a no reveal setup?
Or is that specifically for the tailor and miller?

I figured she might help with the Tailor, Actress, and Miller. Though, maybe that would be giving too much power to the village?

To be honest, Tailor feels way too overpowered in a setup like this, so a countermeasure is good.

Are you using EM's version of Actress? If so it's an investigative role and only once per game

"Can select a person once per game.
When the Actress dies, he/she appears to be the target's role."

they also get told which role they're getting

mafia seem pretty strong, but village has quite a few PRs. mass cop claim D1 seems relatively inevitable and the game would basically come down to how quickly village can organize. but even then mafia can fuck with organization a ton

idk, depends on what numbers you're shooting for. if it was a big game it could work, but smaller game with so many PRs might be too tough

idea seems solid tho

Eh, I'm actually tempted to leave it as it is, that way the mafia can have a scouting role, and another way to screw with the death results.

Mafia's already pretty strong. I don't really think they need a scouting role on top of that.

It's INCREDIBLY rare for the mafia to have investigation at all. And that's usually just when mafia isn't organised at the start.
