So vanilla mafia, themed with Dwarf Fortress names?  Sounds interesting enough.

Just for reference, there was a DF Mafia some time ago:
Round 1
Round 2 (never made it out of signups)

The difference being that there were a fair few atypical roles that caused problems.  If you're sticking to vanilla, you should be able to avoid that.

How are you going to determine which roles are in the game / balance the teams?

WHOT

Lower that number to around 13 total, maybe more depending on interest shown. You will not get 30 people to join.

A few months ago you could have filled that easily.  Now... I'm not sure if you can get nearly that many. 

Beginner's Mafia usually pull 9-12, Supernatural only has 12 (which surprised me a little, Mephansteras is a popular host), not sure about Vote Mafia 7, Dethy Deluxe started with 10, and Mapped is stuck at 7 in signups.

Granted, Bring Your Own Trope pulled 19, so you might possibly pull that off, but I doubt more.

But that's because it's a variant of a popular variant hosted by an established host.

You're quite correct.  I phrased that badly.  Let's try again.

Bring Your Own Trope pulled 19.  There's basically no chance of getting more than that.  Based on the other games, you can probably get 10-15 if you're lucky.

I set it up so we can have around 12

12 is good.  That might work.
