It's good to see that we're starting with some content already!
I have read one Discworld book but I forgot all the character names. I only remember there's a town called something like Ankh-Morpork. And there are giant turtles and elephants below the discworld of course.
I can't add much to the set-up speculation, and I also don't know if it'd be helpful if I would.

Vote: SDK. Unless I am missing some reference here, this looks like a godfather tell or something like that.
New User wrote:I'm not ruling out SK. It's true that those numbers would be unfavorable on a vanilla setup, but it was described that this game has "lots" of power roles. Powers like doctor, roleblocker, jailer, bus driver, redirector, lightning rod, bulletproof, or even "hesitant" serial killer (I forgot which game I saw that in, the SK couldn't kill until N2) all could throw off that balance quite a bit. Also, the existence of a serial killer could be balanced purely by numbers. We don't know there are three players in the mafia. Maybe there's only two, plus a serial killer.
FoS: New User. For some reason, I associate people who give examples of roles with the mafia. Probably because they have more information about the game.
wam is asking some good questions there, but his reason to vote SDK sucks (which is allowed, the game barely started)
