* InstantWinCondition: Each group has a win condition, and that group wins the moment the condition is fulfilled no matter what. If you're about to outnumber the town as mafia, and you kill one more person, it doesn't matter how many people suspect you -- you still win. The same is true of a lot of third party roles, who have their own unique win conditions. It's also possible for some third-party roles to "joint win", by fulfilling their win condition at the exact same time as another group.

Here's where it gets fun. There are [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters over 100 roles]] over the three sides, making each game setup wildly different. These roles include Policemen, Doctors, Gunsmiths, Spies ,Janitors, Thieves, Monks, Cultists, and Traitors, not to mention Drunks, Samurai, SantaClaus, Yakuza, Ninjas, Voodoo Ladies, Zombies, Warewolves, and Cthulhu, and everything in between. All of them are in complete psychological warfare with each other.
Don't take things too seriously, unless it's a [[SeriousBusiness ranked game]].

!! Tropes associated with VideoGame/EpicMafia Roles:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Village Roles]]
* NeverMessWithGranny: And ''how''. The ''Granny'' role in the game will kill any player who has the misfortune to visit her at night, for whatever reason, regardless of their alignment.
* PoliceAreUseless: Subverted. Whilst the ''Cop'' role (The normal one, anyway) is mighty useful for discovering a chosen player's alignment in most situations, some EM setups utilize the roles of ''Millers'' (villagers who show up guilty) and ''Lawyers'' (mafia role who can make other mafia show up innocent), which can undermine the cop's use. Not only that, the "Special Cops" also have varying degrees of usefulness:
** The ''Insane Cop'' sees everything in reverse (ie - Mafia as innocent, Townies as guilty), which isn't so bad if you can put two and two together, however...
** ''Paranoid Cop'' sees everybody as guilty. Yes, everybody. Hence he's pretty useless for making any deductions and serving as anything but clear.
** ...Much the same as his cousin, the ''Naive Cop''. Same issue, only he sees everybody as innocent.
* TakingTheBullet: If the mafia (or anybody else) decide to kill the ''Bodyguard'''s target, there's a 50% chance that the Bodyguard will die in the victim's place, invoking this trope.
* TakingYouWithMe: The ''Bomb'' role explodes if killed, taking down his assailant at the time (Unless the killer happens to be protected by the doctor).
* VigilanteMan: The ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Vigilante]]'' role, obviously. He's sided with the village but can target one player each night and kill them, hoping that he's [[VigilanteExecution hit mafia]]. Of course, there's no guarantee that he won't [[NiceJobBreakingItHero shoot a villager]].

* AmoralAttorney: The ''Lawyer'' in this game is a mafia sided role. Yep. His ability makes his fellow mafia partners appear innocent to any cops who investigate them.
* DeadPersonImpersonation: The ''Disguiser'' role functions like this - they kill a player and take on his name. Of course, how well the actual impersonation goes depends on the skill and know-how of the actual disguiser.
