Alright, this is a story?

This is an author-to-be you're talking to here, I know my stuff.

Firstly, it's not gonna be a game mode. Just include every role, but don't do it like a game mode. Every single role should be an individual character that makes an appearance, no matter how minor that appearance is.

Secondly, high stakes. I realise this is a given considering we're talking about Town of Salem here, but while I don't want you to be bumping off characters left and right at the same time you gotta always have a level of tension. Even with the POV character, you can't feel like they're safe or like their plot armour is too thick for anything to penetrate.

Thirdly, I don't expect anything to R-rated (such as Esc/Consort scenes which you have already ruled out) but this is a town with a mafia and a serial killer, and vampires and arsonists and even goddamn werewolves. What I'm saying is: there had better be gore.

That's all for now. :P
