So I really want to run an IRL mafia with my gaming club that's actually more complex like the ones played online, because the only ones I played IRL in the past (as I'm sure is the case with everyone) were really simple. Role-less scum, one doctor, one cop, that's it. I think basically I'm asking you guys what you think of my plan and if there are any improvements you think I could make.

My plan is I'd probably start with like a set-up session at one of our meetings just to explain the extra roles and then give everyone their roles outside the room one-by-one. That way I can explain their role more in-depth to them while being out of earshot and also tell the mafia who their fellow scum are and their roles. Then when the action actually gets started I'd probably set a 15 minute time limit for discussion during the day, then at night start by waking up all the scum first to quietly discuss who they want to off (with godfather making the ultimate decision) and then once again calling everyone out one-by-one again to get their night actions. Here's the main thing... I don't think I'd be able to use bus roles because for roles like a scanner or cop, I'd have to call them outside again which might raise suspicions. That shouldn't be a big deal but just something I was considering.

So.... any suggestions from the much-more-experienced?

Oh and the other problem I was kind of thinking of was the fact that I wouldn't be able to moderate whether people talk or not unless I have a "co-host" so to speak, just to watch over them at night to make sure no one opens their eyes
