The roleset chosen will depend on the amount of players in the game. If there's a problem with the setups laid out, or you want a different one, feel free to post ideas. The 15 player setup is absolutely non-negotiable though. Ideally the setup should be low-mid power, and not multiball. I'll post more detailed information once a setup is finalized:

Detailed Town Descriptions:

SPOILER: Click to show

Vanilla Town
The Vanilla Townie has no special powers or night actions. Their only power is their vote and voice during discussions.

Town Doctor (Odd Night or 2-shot)
The Town Doctor (either Odd Night or 2-shot) may use the Protection ability on nights when their role is active, which will protect the target from death for that night. This role cannot self-target, and will not explicitly learn whether or not they successfully protected someone. If 2-shot, then this role is Non-consecutive, meaning it cannot target the same player two nights in a row.

Town Jack of All Trades
The Town Jack of All Trades, also known as Town JOAT, may use each of the following night abilities once throughout the game: Doctor, Roleblock and Motion Detect. This role may not use multiple abilities on the same night.
[*]Doctor will protect the target from death for that night. The Town JOAT cannot self-target with this action, and will not explicitly learn whether or not they successfully protected someone.
[*]Roleblock will prevent the target from using their night action. Players will not be informed that they were roleblocked. See "Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics" below for further info.
[*]Motion Detect will detect motion if the target has either visited someone, or has been visited by someone else. All night actions can be detected, including Mafia's factional kill.

Town Even Night Jailkeeper
The Town Even Night Jailkeeper may use the Jailkeeping ability on even numbered nights (night 2, 4, 6, etc), protecting the target from death and prevent the target from using their night action. This role cannot self-target, and will not explicitly learn whether or not they successfully protected someone. Players will not be informed that they were jailkept. See "Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics" below for further info.

Town 2-shot Roleblocker
The Town 2-shot Roleblocker may use the Roleblock ability on two different nights. This will prevent the target from using their night action. This role is Non-consecutive, meaning it cannot target the same player two nights in a row. Players will not be informed that they were roleblocked. See "Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics" below for further info.

Town Odd Night Tracker
The Town Odd Night Tracker may use the Tracking ability on odd numbered nights (night 1, 3, 5, etc). This informs them who their target visited on that night, if anyone.
[*]If a player who is using multiple night actions on different targets is tracked, the player will be seen visiting all of their targets.
[*]If a player using multiple actions on the same target is tracked, they would only be seen visiting the target once.
[*]All night actions can be tracked, including the Mafia's factional kill.

Town Even Night Vanilla Cop
The Town Even Night Vanilla Cop may use the Vanilla Inspection ability on even numbered nights (night 2, 4, 6, etc). This informs them whether or not their target is Vanilla or not, i.e. whether or not they have powers or modifiers. This means that Vanilla Townies and Mafia Goons will appear as "Vanilla", whereas any other roles will appear as "Not Vanilla".

Detailed Mafia Role Descriptions

SPOILER: Click to show

Mafia Goon
The Mafia Goon, or Vanilla Mafia, is a standard mafia-aligned player with no abilities other than carrying out the factional kill.

Mafia Jack of All Trades
The Mafia Jack of All Trades, also known as Mafia JOAT, may use each of the following night abilities once throughout the game: Role Cop and Roleblock. This role may not use multiple abilities on the same night.
[*]Role Cop will reveal the target's role and any role modifiers.
[*]Roleblock will prevent the target from using their night action. Players will not be informed that they were roleblocked. See "Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics" below for further info.

Mafia 1-shot Jailkeeper
The Mafia 1-shot Jailkeeper may use the Jailkeeping ability on one night. This will protect the target from death and prevent the target from using their night action. This role cannot self-target, and will not explicitly learn whether or not they successfully protected someone. Players will not be informed that they were jailkept. See "Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics" for further info.

Mafia Roleblocker (may be 1-shot)
The Mafia Roleblocker (may be 1-shot) may use the Roleblock ability each night, which prevents the target from using their night action. This role is Non-consecutive, meaning it cannot target the same player two nights in a row. Players will not be informed that they were roleblocked. See "Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics" below for further info.

Mafia 1-shot Tracker
The Mafia Tracker may use the Tracking ability on one night. This informs them who their target visited on that night, if anyone. All night actions can be tracked.

Mafia 2-shot Watcher
The Mafia 2-shot Watcher may use the Watch ability on two different nights. This informs them who visited their target on that night, if anyone. If multiple people visit the target, the Watcher will receive multiple names. The Watcher will not learn what type of night action was used on their target, only who visited their target. All night actions can be watched.

Roleblock & Jailkeep Mechanics

SPOILER: Click to show

[*]Players will not be informed that they were roleblocked or jailkept.
[*]If an X-shot role or Jack of All Trades role is roleblocked or jailkept while they are using one of their abilities, they will lose that ability shot forever.
[*]If 2+ of the same blocking roles (e.g. only Roleblockers or only Jailkeepers) target eachother on the same night, they can all be tracked and watched in this scenario, and should one of them also be carrying out the factional kill in this scenario, the factional kill will be prevented. These same rules also apply to longer loops, e.g. A -> B -> C -> A.
[*]If players with Roleblock and Jailkeep abilities target eachother on the same night, roleblock actions will go through whereas the jailkeep actions will not.
[*]If an attempted investigative ability (i.e. Track, Watch, Motion Detect, Role Cop or Vanilla Inspection) has been roleblocked or jailkept, the following feedback will be given: "Your action on Player X failed”. Note that this is different to a negative (e.g. no visit) result.
[*]If a player has been roleblocked or jailkept, then they cannot be seen by Tracker, Watcher or Motion Detector.
