Modding Mechanics
This is a list of general game mechanics that apply to all of my modded theme games so that I don't have to keep adding to my rulesets or answer questions about how certain actions/roles will work out. This list will probably grow as I encounter more potential sources of uncertainty or get questions from my players about certain mechanics. If you are playing in a theme game I am modding, you may assume the following mechanics apply unless explicitly stated otherwise in that game's particular ruleset or in your role PM. (Doesn't apply to games I am backup modding. If I am co-modding a game, check that game's particular ruleset to see if these apply or not. If it's not stated explicitly, assume they don't apply.)
- All night actions are resolved using Natural Action Resolution. (Note: The Golden Rule always takes precedence. Many players don't realize this and assume NAR goes straight to the list of actions for ambiguous situations.)
- If there is a conflict between the rules and what is written in a player's role PM, the role takes precedence.
- Players with multiple choices for night actions may only perform one action per night unless otherwise stated in the role PM. Factional kills/abilities may or may not be an exception to this rule, depending on the game.
- Non-investigative roles with an active ability will not be told if their action was successful or not. Investigative roles will be told that they "were unable to determine..." (or something along those lines) if their action was unsuccessful.
- Investigative roles will not have their targets confirmed to them. (For example, I would tell a cop "you determine your target to be...", even if their action was redirected to a player other than their intended target).
- The "Godfather" role (with no modifiers) implies investigation-immunity only, not kill-immunity.
- The "Serial Killer" role (with no modifiers) implies a killing ability only, not immunity of any type.
- Protective abilities block all kill attempts (even stacked attempts) unless explicitly stated otherwise.
- Cop sanities are not confirmed.
- Strongman/juggernaut overcomes protection, roleblocking, and bulletproof abilities, but not hiding/commuting abilities.
- Masons are confirmed town to each other, neighbors are not.
- Bus drivers may not target themselves.
- If an action is blocked or fails for any other reason, it still counts as being "used" for the purposes of limited-shot or non-consecutive abilities.

Future Games
(Note: These are ideas for games that I may (or may not) run at some point in the future, and are in various stages of planning/development.)
His Dark Materials Mafia - Large theme, probably >25 players. ReaperCharlie and I were working on a setup, but we kept putting it on the backburner because it was getting too complicated and the mechanics and role interactions were just not feeling right to me. The final product may end up looking very different than what we had originally come up with. A possibility is breaking this up into three games, one based on each novel. Probably won't be run for a while.
Chrono Trigger Mafia - Large theme, 25-30 players. I have a basic idea for a setup in place, but no details yet. Haven't decided if I will run this or HDM first. This one probably needs less work than HDM, but getting it all together will probably take a couple months. Will not be called "Chrono Trigger Mafia" to avoid confusion with the previous game that was run in 2006.
Neon Genesis Evangelion Mafia 2? - Large theme. I want to run NGE Mafia again, but make it better. Lots of possibilities, and the setup may not end up looking anything like the original. Probably won't be run for a while, maybe when Rebuild 3.0 comes out.
