Seems like a relatively unfun setup if doctor is chosen. It's optimal for the IC to direct lims so the mason doesn't get outed, and the IC won't be killable for a while. Especially since whoever signed up as IC probably wants to lead the town.

Cop version is less problematic but also, as Ircher pointed out, pretty townsided.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

The voting mechanic feels pretty weird for a newbie game, I feel like the newbies would feel drowned out during that decision phase by people who know more about mechanics (not to mention the IC).

Bulwark probably should be roleblocker. It would still be the weakest of the three choices, and it's both a simpler and a more common role to introduce newbies to.
