I'll post the characters/roles, and then I'll post what actually happened. What's interesting about this game (to me) is that there were many triggers that never went off.

For example, if Tara (Isaac) had ever died, Willow (Artsapat) would have become a serial killer. I also was going to have a mechanic in which Xander could visit someone each night, and if it was Willow, calm her down. I was considering adding a name-confirmation bit as well, like "Oh, Xander visits you, you two chat and you both remember each other's names, isn't that nice?" as well.

Also, the Mafia started VERY crippled. We started with a two-man Mafia, only one of which had a Night Kill. There was a special event that involved the Mafia (Spike and Drusilla) performing a special ritual on Angel that would kill him and give Drusilla a night kill ability.

I think the major change I'd make if I ran this again would be to add a doctor role, and confirm the loyalties of the masons. While Mason suspicion can be interesting, I think it's much neater to have coordinated tactics. I don't think not having a doctor doomed the Scoobies, since I am of the opinion that doctors are pretty overrated until the endgame, but it'd still be nice.

Also, I made a mistake with the whole Angel/Buffy mechanic. Basically, in the show, Angel sleeps with Buffy, loses his soul, becomes evil. But if I told ? that "Oh, Angel targeted you, came over last night and you two totally hooked up, don't worry about it," at the very least he'd do some Internet Research, which would spoil the whole thing.

Luckily, Jonathan (Yuna) targetted Angel (Taiga) that night as well, giving me a good way to patch the stupid hole I'd made. Angel was turned because he experienced a moment of pure happiness in being approved of by Jonathan (the best, sexiest dude EVER), and Jonathan didn't realize Angel was evil because, when Jonathan looked at him, he WASN'T.


Finally I'm sad that more of Willow's spells didn't go off. There were some neat effects, although the whole "unable to unvote" thing was probably ill-advised.
I amuse myself.
