First of all.. Hi everyone!
It's been a little while since I stopped by last. But I'm still alive (to those that remember me). I haven't played mafia in a few years (damn game just takes too much time).
I'm pondering joining another game, but that is not why I am here.
I will actually be hosting a game soon IRL, and just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips. More specifically, it seems to me that vanilla mafia is somewhat lacking compared to that awesome game I played when I first joined (X-Men themed).
Would anyone happen to have a balanced game with special roles for everyone with 9 or 10 players?
Or would it be better to just do the standard 2 mafia, 1 seer, rest villager game?

Party mafia is a completely different animal from forum mafia. You can't have any roles that need to communicate by more than pointing. Players are going to make a lot of cases of the "I heard Susan shift her arm when you said for the mafia to wake up, so she must be mafia!" and if you're going to have extensive color, you can't put the game on hold for 45 minutes while you think of what to say.
With 9 to10 people, 2 mafia, a doc, a cop and the rest townspeople is usually exciting enough.

Ok, I will try that first. I was hoping to avoid the 'close your eyes' part by passing notes, but for the first game, I will just try it the traditional way then.
I was worried that adding a doc and a cop (I assume this is the mafia version of the werewolf seer) would make it an easy win for the village.

Well, maybe your friends will be better than my family ever was at the game but we had mafia routs an embarrassing number of times.
