I didn't find it all too fun as much as confusing.
That's how I usually feel about that stuff, honestly. I like most things consigned to a Role PM and Role Actions.

That said - I do think that it was a good concept, just not executed in the best way ever. Use cases for varoous items were remarkably unclear.

So I take it PUZZLE TEMPLE PANIC is dead now? Just remembered that game after looking up NQT because I hadn't seen him around recently.
As far as I know. Still listed as being on hiatus, though.

Roll to Mafia is going to be more like Puzzle Temple Panic than a traditional mafia game. I don't suppose you have any suggestions to make a game of that type work better?

I figure the more ideas I have, the better.
Flabort's Second High Powered BYOR ran while you were gone. Quote the Notable Games Archive: "A full-bastard BYOR variant in which each player submits 2-8 roles, which are largely distributed randomly.  The result: 13 players. 80 roles. Infinite actions. 1 loser. 16 winners. 10 days."

If you're looking for ideas, I recommend reading that. Mafia Marathon might work better for ideas, though, though it wasn't as flashy.

I'm not High Powered BYOR crazy. I intend to aim for a BYOR where you are given choices, chances, and chaos. I'm going to experiment with giving the players some choices in the type of role they get. There's no reason they have to do so, but I want to see if it makes it more fun to have choice or if they like being thrown against 7 SKs.

Like BYOR 5?
I'm gonna be honest, I can't keep track of which games are which. Every BYOR has been a test to see if I could balance roles. The answer is usually 'Almost.'

BYOR 5 was the one where every player got 3 options for abilities, which they could then pick two of. Except the player who submitted "webadict", who would get a certain ability automatically even if he didn't pick it. Also, every player had at least one hidden thing in their role.

Also Trolls.

... maybe you can re-read your own games for inspiration?
