Whoa, we're going with a fandom theme?

Whoa Gunner you've definitely gotten my interest.
 
Just a question, since it'd be helpful (probably) to future GMs, but generally how many roles (for both town and mafia) is considered fair and balanced?

As long as they're equal or at least counterbalance each other, you're doing well. You don't want a unblockable/unkillable force on either side UNLESS it can be balanced by an equally unblockable/unkillable force on the other side. Not that we've really had this issue, but I think games get really unbalanced when you have 1) a role or two that can beat any other role unquestioningly 2) you have too much information given freely and people lose their ability to play how they want to.

So are you suggesting like a 1:1 ratio?

Basically. Other people might have their own opinions though. But if you've got a certain role on one side that is basically unbeatable, you're gonna want something on the other side that can at least avoid that other role. I would say the closest to unfair we've gotten is the Mogwai, but even then it's not impossible to beat and we just didn't do well at figuring out who it was.

I'll only let this information on the game be spoiled but for you to join this mafia game, make sure you join a fanclub in FCG. You'll know why when the actual game starts.

I wouldn't fret. It's the final weeks of school for many. So you're gonna be seeing a drop off for a bit. But your call!

That really depends a lot on the extra powers on both sides. The mafia have their advantage to know each other from start. Having just plain mafia and innocents, will easily work with only a few mafia members. I mostly use about a quarter or a fifth of the players as mafia members, but I normally don't use as complex roles as currently in F&L for example.
And extra unaffiliated roles affect the balance too.
 
Wooo, I'm planning a mafia game based on the characters in the OP. The powers should be neat. Very neat. But I don't know when it will be a good time to post it! D:

I still have a looooong way to go, but I wanted your opinions on this. How many mafia games should be running at most at the same time?

I also think a wait list might be useful! So game masters know when it would be a good time to post a new game. For example, I know blarzigord mafia is on the works, so it will probably be the next game.

They agreed on making 2 mafia games at a time. And the wait list is on the game index. The future games are arranged according to who goes first.
 
oops, I probably should have checked that first. x)
