Yes plz this looks absolutely bewitching!!

Looks rather Wicked.

I have been kicking around the idea of a game based on the actual Salem Witch scare, with roles like Tituba, Elizabeth Proctor and Giles Corey. It might not conflict with this. Is this basically a halloweenish theme game?

This is based on the actual witch trials, and the sock accounts will be the people involved. I would not object to a counterproposal, however, since I have so many other games in the works.

Hilariously, I considered a game based on Arthur Miller's "The Crucible."

I have too many other ideas though.

I am a bit confused as to which roles apply to the actual protagonists.

I didn't make the roles apply to the protagonists, I am just going to use them as sock accounts. I didn't see a workable way to assign roles to the protagonists themselves based on some preliminary research. They weren't different enough from each other, so I just made up some townspeople roles.

Oh, OK. I presumed it was more specific, my bad
