Seeing Chaos's FBI and Mafia game i had a flash about running a WW game with a Boondock Saints theme. It would involve the brothers being the wolves and the village being the mafia. To make it a bit different I'm also adding in the Russian Mob. While I want to give the brothers some thematic powers, everything I came up with wouldn't balance very well.
Team Saints:
Connor: Powers
Murphy: Powers
Rocco: Seer for Team Boondock, Scan reveals Seer, Protector, or Lacky.
Team Italian:
Don "Papa" Joe Yakavetta: Seer, scan reveals Italian, Russian, or Saints
Vincenzo Lapazzi: Protector, protection of a Russian team member fails. Can't protect same person twice in a row.
Team Russian:
The Fat Man: Russina Seer, scan reveals Italian, Russian, or Saints
Ivan Checkov: Protector, Protection of Italian team member fails. Can't protect same person twice in a row.
Free lancer:
Il Duce: Coroner, scans 1 dead person a night to determine role and team. Will join the first team to scan him for the rest of the game.
victory conditions:
When the Saints > total mobsters (Saints win) [fastest victory would be Night 4 for all mob lynches and converting Duce]
If the Saints are all killed the team with the most remaining players (Italian or Russian) Wins.
If there is a tie then the team with the most remaining specials (seer or protector) wins.
If it is still a tie then it is mutual annihilation and the citizens of Boston win (exception is unconverted IlDuce wins).
This is what i have right now. Still looking for Powers for the brothers. Maybe i should drop the Russians? Different end game considerations? Looking at 3 lackies per mob team for a total of 14 players with 1 to be knocked off the first night.

Re: Boondock Saints as WW Rules brainstorm
Since it doesnt seem like either mob has the power to do so I would assume that the saints would get the option of a night kill?
or they get the night kill option and they get a once per game day kill

they would get a night kill each night and all players vote during the day.

Re: Boondock Saints as WW Rules brainstorm
You should also have the FBI agent, and the police. They're looking for the wolves too. I'd put the Russian and Italian mafia together; were it not for the brothers they would be working together.
