Five Faction Face-Off (Potential Mafia-Sort-Of-Spin-Off Idea)

Got a Mafia sort-of spin-off idea, don't know if it counts as Mafia at this point so that's why I'm not posting it in the general mafia topic.

 

Here is my general outline:

 

5x Factions - FIRE, WATER, JUNGLE, EARTH, ICE.

 

Roles making up a faction:

 

1x Leader - leads faction and decides who kills.

1x Bodyguard - protects members of their faction.

1x Spy - investigates a previous night's killing to see who killed who

1x Diplomat - their votes count for three when it's time to lynch somebody, will also become leader if the faction's leader is killed.

1x Unique Role

 

UNIQUE ROLES - unique roles are meant to be extremely powerful roles:

 

1x Wraith - after death, will kill one person every night. Earth allegiance.

1x Silver-tongued Speaker - votes count for eight. Water allegiance.

1x Alchemist - targets person during the night, so that they die in the day from poison. Jungle allegiance.

1x Necromancer - revives one person every other night to help their faction - no unique roles, though. Ice allegiance.

1x Wild Card - gains the powers of all the roles their faction kills, apart from unique roles. Fire allegiance.

 

25 people - five factions.

 

It'll be a fast game if people show interest in it. 25 also seems to be a golden number - not too little people, not too many.

I actually did do something similar years ago, but I don't remember many of the details. It went pretty well, but it was simpler and included a traditional Mafia with a member in each faction.

 

This looks great, actually, I'd love to play it if it ran.

Seems cool in that everyone has a role to play.  Although, to be honest, the Wraith sounds like it has the best role.  :D

Generally people lose interest and get bored when they don't have anything to do in Mafia, from my observations. So I decided that, should a spin-off attempt to correct that, that everyone should have a role. Keeps people interested longer since they can actually do things other than cast one vote.

I like it. Though it feels like it needs a neutral role of some sort just to upset the balance. 

 

That neutral role would have to be capable of a lot and I'm not sure how to execute it, but I'll take one into consideration. Or two.

This looks cool. It seems mafia enough in that there are roles, voting, and most importantly, death. This looks fun, and I'd definitely play it
