Deck of Astral Roles

The Deck of Astral Roles is a semi-open setup created by random people. It has 300 roles.

The Deck of Astral Roles game is a custom Greatest Idea Mafia deck with a size of 300. For this game, the moderator randomizes a number from 0 to 299 three times for each player and gives role cards corresponding to the rolled post number. The player will then be asked to choose one card for their alignment, one card for their role, and to publically discard the remaining card.

The Deck of Astral Roles is a collaboration between multiple scummers in the same vein as Grand Idea Mafia. The submitter is listed for each role card.

Role List

0. The First Townie (Town / The First)

You managed to roll post zero. Enjoy having the introductory post in your Role PM. You are a named Townie. You have no special abilities.

Welcome to the Deck of Astral Roles thread. This is a role list quite like Grand Idea Mafia that is going to be used in a 13-player Mini Theme I will be running. This will be more structured than the actual Grand Idea Mafia thread however.

The Deck of Astral Roles game is a custom Grandest Idea Mafia (Greatest Idea Mafia rules, but with a Grand Idea Mafia esque deck) with a size of 300. For this game, the moderator randomizes a number from 0 to 299 three times for each player and gives role cards corresponding to the rolled post number. The player will then be asked to choose one card for their alignment, one card for their role, and to publically discard the remaining card. For the Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe, the randomization range is instead 0 to the last post in this thread.

The Deck of Astral Roles will have a fixed alignment ratio. The ratio is 100 Town / 30 Mafia / 30 Werewolf / 15 Alien / 10 Cult / 15 Third-Party / 20 Mod Discretion / 80 Free Space. Aliens are a scumteam with a 1-shot factional kill and a 1-shot "alien tech" factional invention from a random active role in the Deck of Astral Roles that wins ties in endgame. Cult is a scumteam with one Cult Leader. The cult picks the Cult Leader from all the Cultists during pregame. Picking the Cult Leader adds on to the existing role and always works under any circumstance. The Cult Leader is a special role (which can be used with a personal ability as if it were a factional ability) that changes alignment to Cult, though it will fail on groupscum with living partners and will fail if either the Cult Leader or the target die that Night. The Cult Leader will flip as a Cult Leader. Third-Party slots can be filled with any third party like Serial Killer or Jester. Mod Discretion slots can be filled with Mod Chooses After Picks or Mod Chooses Before Picks. Free Spaces may be filled with any alignment, this includes rare scumteams such as Pirates or Dark Creatures and reroll for alignment and any other crazy thing you can think of.

Ideally you should list the alignment / role split in your posts. This is being used for a game where the alignment / role split is vital.

If a role needs to be vetoed and the 300 role threshold hasn't been reached I will PM you, if the vetoed role still exists it will be replaced with a Vanilla of that alignment. If an alignment needs to be vetoed it will be changed to Survivor if it's in a Third-Party slot or Town otherwise. If the alignment ratio is broken the offending post will be replaced with a Vanilla of the first remaining alignment. Roles will be vetoed if they are broken, extremely unfun, or are mean-spirited.

If this thread manages to go past post #299, the further roles can be played in a game called Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe (the Deck of Astral Roles: Expanded Universe includes all posts in this thread, even posts #0-#299).

4. Town Dark Demon (Town / Dark Demon)

Anyone investigating you will receive a message saying that you are a frightening and evil Dark Demon.

Each night, you may cloak someone in darkness. They will be roleblocked, and will receive frightening visions of a random night action targeting them the next Night (if they weren't targeted the next Night, they will receive frightening visions of demons).

5. 2-Shot Bulletproof Cult 1-Shot Alignment-Changing Reviver (Cult / 2-Shot Bulletproof 1-Shot Alignment-Changing Reviver)

You will survive the first two otherwise successful kills performed against you. Once per game, you may target a currently dead player.

While you are alive, dead players may not receive access to a dead pt or similar communications.

Submitter: Ircher

6. Town Mason or Neighbor (Town / Mason or Neighbor)

This role card is different depending on whether you apply it to a Mafia alignment card or any other alignment card.

If this is applied to a Mafia alignment card, you are a Neighbor.

If this is applied to any other alignment card, you are a Mason.

Submitter: TemporalLich

Neighbor

You are in a PT with other Neighbors.

Two random other players will be a Neighbor if you select this role card.

Mason

You are in a PT with other Masons, who are confirmed to not be Mafia-aligned.

A random other Non-Mafia aligned player will be a Mason if you select this role card.

7. Twilight Elimination Inducing Serial Killer (Serial Killer / Twilight Elimination Inducing)

While you are alive there is an additional phase known as Twilight between the Hammer for the Day Phase and the Night Phase. If a Day or Night phase is skipped, the twilight phase before or after is also skipped. During the Twilight phase, players may vote for a living player to eliminate as they do during day phases. The player eliminated in the previous Day may post and vote as usual. This phase will last 72 hours.

11. Elite Cult Leader (Cult / Cult Leader)

Submitter: NotAJumbleOfNumbers

13. Fanciful Unicorn (Town / Fanciful Unicorn)

Apply 1 bravery counter to any player that uses a night action (counters not visible to players; max 1 per night). Once per night you may target another player and attempt to grant them one of two blessings:

1) If target has 0 bravery counters at the end of the night phase, grant that player a 1-Shot ability of a random active normal role (excluding Cop & Vigilante)

2) If target has 3 or more bravery counters at the end of the night phase, grant that player 1-Shot Bulletproof and remove all of their bravery counters

If a player has 3 or more bravery counters at the start of a night phase, receive the message, "You can sense <name>'s valorous spirit."

All players will receive a positive/uplifting message at the start of each night phase (mod discretion).

Alignment: You win if your target survives till endgame. It doesn't matter if they are endgame'd in the endgame, they have to survive to see it. Pregame, pick another player in the game. You gain a PT with them, and your role PM is posted in it, including alignment. Additionally, you may speak with them at any time even after you have died, and use your abilities post-mortem.

20. Guilty Child (Town / Guilty Child)

At any time, you may publicly reveal your role to be Innocent Child. This does not confirm your alignment. You will return a guilty result to any Cop-like role.

Mod Note: Cops, and any roles with Cop in the name, or function like a cop, (e.g. bloodhounds), will return a guilty result. For Role Cops, this role returns a Mafia Goon result. (yes this is not how Role Cops normally work, deal with it)

Submitter: Korina

You have no special abilities.

Submitter: NotAJumbleOfNumbers

Submitter: TemporalLich

30. Vanilla Apparition (Apparition / Vanilla)

Alignment: The apparition faction doesn't kill. Instead, they "possess" people. What this means is that a apparition can take the role of the person they possessed. In the morning it will say that no body was found, and there will be no flip. The apparition doesn't take the alignment of the person, only the role. Each apparition can only possess one person.

Role: You have no special abilities.
