This is a dedicated thread for users to bounce around and brainstorm on ideas for new roles, items, game mechanics or anything else to improve and build upon our beloved Mafia game.

Back in 2015 Sims made a thread asking if anyone had any ideas for roles since Lucid was looking to make some new ones (found here: https://epicmafia.com/topic/71173?page=1) That thread's dead now, but it's always good to try to bring the community together and come up with new stuff for the game.

Some of you might know my reputation for designing new roles and my passion for Mafia. EpicMafia is a pretty cool website and can always use some new stuff to spice up and remix the usual game formula, and I know a few of you have ideas of your own.

NOTE: If you're here to complain about Sandbox moderation or the site mods, please don't.

I've revisited the idea of the Parity Cop and talked some ideas over with Golbolco. We've renamed it, and I made an icon. Here is the new page for it:

Narrowing it down further: I think Puffin, Snowman and Sidekick are most essential for Lucid to work on next. Not sure what Cub thinks though.

Also, I'll just throw this out there: out of all of the suggested roles on page 1 of the suggested roles tab, I'd like to see the Panda ( https://epicmafia.com/role/3308 ) and a combination of the Chandler and Torchbearer ( https://epicmafia.com/role/1784, https://epicmafia.com/role/227 ) added.

There's a lot of roles to choose with both Cub's and Bebop's lists in play.


If I could choose a top three from both, then from Bebop's list, I'd pick the Butterfly, Snowman and Puffin.

From Cub's I'd say my top three are the Gambler, Sidekick and Monkey.

I can try to narrow down this list later today if that's alright.

One more thing about the roles: my most upvoted activated role, Taxman (https://epicmafia.com/role/13470); do you think this is a good enough role to make it into the official roles tab, Lucid? Or nah?

+1 to the youtube video for the party host please add that

role idea: shapeshifter, at night must convert into any role in the setup (not including shapeshifter) sided with third party

add an option to add an anonymous deck when you play the setup not create it

add soundemotes in games where you can record a custom 3 second sound for tokens and play it whenever you want (not at night)
