I'm thinking that safe claims are the best antidote to having a limited number of source names available to you; leaving out major players is a good idea, but you're requiring the mafia to "guess" which you've left out. This does increase the power of the scum, of course.

I'm more and more liking the split role/name games that mathcam and others have used. The next one Orbiting and I run will be like that, and at least one other on my to-mod list....

As for the actual issue of role-claims: improbable roles are (bastard) mod's best friend. :)

I usually give safenames in Theme Games and let the player come up with whatever power/role they feel goes with their play. Seems the best of both worlds...
