I'm not very good at balancing games. I need help with that. Any suggestions to make this game more balanced or more fun to play.

Village:
Spy- Detective: Can visit 1 person and see that person's role.
Ratman-Suspect: Appears as a randomly selected role of mafia
Gordon Freeman-Bulletproof: Can survive 1 lynch/kill
Counter Terrorist- Sheriff: Has 1 gun that can be shot during the day. This person's identity is revealed after shooting.
Rochelle- Surgeon: Can protect 1 person every night. Anyone that visits protected person is killed.

Mafia:
morphling-Actress- Can visit someone every night. They learn that person's role and appears as that role every night.
GLaDOs- Voodoo Lady- Every night, this person can choose a person and a word and if that person says that word during the next day phase, they are killed.
Terrorist- Sniper: Kills one person during the day phase. Identity is not revealed.

Third Party:
Steam- Every night phase, they get to guess a person's role (Not villager). If they get three right, they win the game (game stops). The person who was guessed is now turned into a villager. If Steam gets three wrong guesses, they are announced to everyone.

Also what's the easiest way to shrink an image to then be put on a topic?

>Spy not being Actress
>Terrorist not being Terrorist (or just have sniper be sniper and call it a day)

Also Disguiser can't be used correctly in Forum Mafia, since the gimmick is that you kill that person and then you become them. In Epicmafia, the game says that you died, but you actually stole the identity (Not role, like their username) and killed them.

Monk isn't a particularly cool third party, but I suppose it wouldn't be imbalanced.

To shrink images, I upload them to Imgur after setting Auto Resize to 320x240.

1. Didn't want actress or terrorist in the game. I could not find any detective like valve characters. And I wanted a character from most or all valve franchises. (I haven't played day of defeat so couldn't get a role from their)

2. Disguiser just takes over the role of an already dead person. Like a villager. It's basically a mafia sided Amnesiac.

Any ideas for other third party roles.

1. Eh, makes sense. I was mostly joking.

2. That's not how disguiser works. Like, what happens if the disguiser copies the Monk? Does he get to make lynch-proof protections? The monk is able to protect himself, and the mafia copying that makes the mafia invincible. Even copying things like detective, surgeon and bulletproof are really broken if the Mafia can get their hands on those ones.

3. Usually, I make custom third parties to fit the theme of the game. Of course, the problem with that is that there needs to be a theme, which at the moment is just a mash-up of characters. If you specifically want something from EM, I still haven't seen a mistletoe and would love to. Other than that, most third partied work far better in smaller games.

Oops I think I didn't explain things right. Disguiser just looks like that role to the detective. Oops.

For the third party, I was thinking that steam has to guess the role of two characters. They get two chances if they are wrong. Steam stops the game if it wins but can joint win.

So disguiser is basically actress but it can only pick dead roles.

which makes it basically a godfather after n1 if they kill a villager because who would want to appear to be a role that is already dead

I'd say just make it an actress, at that point.

As for third party, the closest to that is werewolf, but I'd make it three to win instead of two for balance, since forum games are bigger than epicmafia games.

I doubt steam would want to kill their characters. I might just make it that steam has to guess three roles. They get three chances too.

I still maintain that Morphling is a bad role. If it appears to be the role of a dead player, it will always pick villager. If a PR is dead, appearing to be that PR to investigations is not good for mafia. Oh look, my report says this player is the sheriff, but the sheriff is dead, he must be the morphling!

Just make it an actress, at least that one can CC something.

Wouldn't actress make mafia a bit too OP. What about just a godfather that appears as a villager.

Godfather works, but mafia isn't that OP right now. Actress isn't even very good to begin with, since all it does is make an uninvestigatable CC.

But mafia can use actress to find out who PR's/villagers are.

Only if people are REALLY DUMB and give her info before the CC situation is resolved.
