This page outlines TemporalLich's unofficial sample role PMs.

This is my preferred format for Role PMs. This page is under construction.

In a nutshell, these Role PMs are intended to be easily understood and have consistent wording, so that a role's basic functions are explained by reading the ability text.

Goals these Role PMs intend to meet:

  • Conciseness - These Role PMs should be easily and quickly read and understood. This is the primary goal, as players not understanding Role PMs is harmful to game integrity. Conciseness is achieved by avoiding unnecessary words such as reminder text.
  • Clarity - These Role PMs should be able to be understood without confusion. Clarity is achieved with consistent wording.
  • Modularity - These Role PMs should be able to be dropped in to many setups without many changes. Modularity is achieved by anticipating unusual situations.

Guide to using these Role PMs

Start with the base role PMs in the top sections. The Vanilla ability in these Role PMs (You have no additional abilities.) should be replaced with the ability text of the role you want to create a Role PM for. All instances of Vanilla Townie or Mafia Goon should be replaced with the full role name (which includes alignment and role).

Text in curly brackets {like this} are placeholders, and should be replaced with the actual information.

These Role PMs are meant to have roles and modifiers that fit together like building blocks.
