Silent Hill is the perfect setting for a mafia game, as there's plenty of potential for paranoia already in the story itself.
I'm imagining it as a semi-open setup (you know what roles might be in it but not how many of each, and role names are not fixed to roles) and semi-bastard (there's "hidden" mechanics not necessarily tied to any role), but I have no clue as to how to balance it and I've never actually played any of the Silent Hill games at all as I'm too big of a wuss, so I settle for watching other people play.
Anybody want to at least help me build a setup? As far as running it goes, I'd rather be a co-mod then a full mod, but I also don't mind letting someone else have a crack at it.

Silent Hill is a very cool set of games. I'll lend a hand if you need one.

Great setting! Some good standard stuff to throw in, and other things that'd be nice:
The Cult ('the Order') The prime (human) members who are almost always lying to the protagonist or other 'good' characters in the game. Could be the primary anti or pro-town side.
Standard power roles: Major characters include a Cop and Doctors/Nurses.
Cool stuff to include:
Light/Dark Silent Hill A key feature of the games is that there's the 'regular scary' town, and then there's the 'super-duper extra-scary' town where everything is dark and rusty and harder to survive in. Somehow working this in to enhance/inhibit certain powers would be interesting.
Innocent Soul (Cheryl/Alessa) There's a character that has a certain power that the cult wants, including a hidden dark side; ideal if you want a recruitable player (cf. River in Firefly).
Pyramid Head Somehow, this guy needs to be in there.
Humor Despite being the scariest games ever made, there are some humorous elements thrown in as easter eggs (funnier probably because they're tension-breaking). So it'd be perfectly acceptable to have some bizarre & gastardish twists that can even be funny.

Re: Humor
Oh, definitely. I totally want "UFO Ending" to be a possible outcome in my setup. ;D

Give me a while, I can set up a board for us to discuss this on.
Just have to hide the next game first ;D

Hey, that's my board! If you need one I would be happy to set up a board for you. But it looks like CIAS is already on it. Let me know.
