Of those three at least yet undisclosed characters:

One of them would be new to this game. At least I haven't seen one like that before. The two others would be more familiar, but with a little twist. One of them might have some real influence on how the things turn out, another one would have her/his share over the fortunes of the village and with the third one everything would be a bit more subtle. My initial idea was and is that I would not disclose these roles to you before the game but that you might get some hints / revelations through the Nightly narrations about them.

Also trying to introduce a new character + three rangers, I felt I had to try those "dry rounds" just to make sure the game is in balance. Now it seems it is.

Are you ready to jump into the darkness with these or do you require that you know everything beforehand? As I said earlier, there will be no changing roles or new roles introduced in the middle of the game eg. everyone will be what they are from the beginning to their end. And you would be able to learn things from the narrations (even though that might mean some speculation).


Three added things I've thought:

- As long as there are three wolves they will have two kills / Night. As soon as one of them gets killed they will only have one kill / Night.
- The rangers will start not knowing the identities of each other. But due to certain circumstances they might learn each others identities and with good luck they might even earn the right to PM during the Days! (the last one would require some especially good luck or real cunning "teamplay" and daring by them)
- Of those three undisclosed ones two would basically be on the side of the villagers and one on the side of the wolves. They could all benefit the cause they are fighting for but they could also harm their cause. The one being on the wolves' side would not be counted as a wolf but as a villager in the last Days tally, but would win along with the wolves if they win.

What say you?
