One of the Best Role-Playing Games: Town of Salem

Town of Salem gets its name from the vicious Salem witchcraft trials where mostly women were hanged due to the groundless accusations. The game has similar mechanics as the game of Mafia, otherwise known as Werewolf. There are 35 roles in the games and each of them is separated into three categories that are called, Town, Mafia, and Neutral. These also include 8 unique roles, let's look at the roles in the game.

The Town roles are also separated into subcategories. There are Town Investigate, Town Killing, Town Protective, and finally Town Support. Town Investigate consists of Investigator who investigates one person each night for a clue to their role, a Lookout who watches one person at night to see who visits them, a Sheriff who checks one person each night for suspicious activity, Spy who can bug a player's house to see what happens to them that night and the Spy can also know who the Mafia and Coven visit each night. Town Killing on the other hand consists of a Jailor who chooses one person during the day to jail for the night, Vampire Hunter who checks for Vampires each night, a Veteran who can decide to go on alert and can kill anyone who visits, Vigilante who chooses to take justice in their hand and shoots someone. Town Protective consist of a Bodyguard who protects one person from death each night, and a Doctor who heals one person each night and prevents them from dying. Town Support consists of Escort who distracts someone each night, Mayor who can reveal themselves later in the game and can gain 3 votes due to the revelation, a Medium who can speak with the dead players at night, Retributionist who can raise a dead Town member and use their ability on a player, and a Transporter who chooses to transport two people at night.

When we get to the Mafia Roles, three subcategories go like this; Mafia Deception, Mafia Killing, and Mafia Support. Mafia Descepiton consists of a Disguiser who disguises a mafia member as a non-mafia member to alter their identity, a Forger who chooses a person and rewrites their last will and role at night, a Framer who chooses one person to frame each night, a Hypnotist mo can sneak into players house at night and plant a memory, and a Janitor who chooses a person to ''clean'' each night.

Mafia Support consists of a Blackmailer who chooses one person each night to blackmail, a Consigliere who checks one person for their exact role each night, and a Consort who distracts someone each night.

Finally, when we look at the Neutral Roles, Neutral Roles are separated into 4 subcategories; Neutral Benign, Neutral Chaos, Neutral Evil, and Neutral Killing.
