Put in your players down the left, roles down the right and it randomises them for you!

Sweet!!

I've used it for every game I've modded I assumed everyone did :/

I just used Random.org to generate a 13 digit sequence to rearrange my signup thread, then applied the roles in order.

I make sure everyone I dont like gets a terrible role.....ooops, did I say that outloud....

Yeah, my game is RMM, but I still gave Robz VT. For him, that should be like getting a PR. At least, if his percentages are to be believed.

Not just VT, but Compulsive VT.  Which means Robz has to claim VT in his confirmation post.

I just use a deck of cards, usually Tarot cards.

Then, if I don't like the way the roles are assigned, I just change them around.

I was only kidding about the stuff in the small font. Rohrig, Rider-Waite, and Navigators of the Mystic Sea are all close by my desk.

This is what I've done. The Role Randomiser looks like it formats things a little nicer though, so I'll probably do that if I mod my own game again. (I've been holding off as the list is just too long, and I'm getting more into the all the non-mafia games.)

I tend to use spreadsheets whenever I'm randomising something. Put numbers 1 to (player no.) in column A, players in B, =rand() in C and roles in D. Sort A to C by C in whatever order, sort A to D by A, delete columns A and C, bam, all roles distributed in about a minute, and already in my spreadsheet.

I know spreadsheet random isn't as good as many online ones, but I don't think anyone is going to complain that it's not good enough for online games.

random.org can randomize lists too http://www.random.org/lists/

I sometimes write everyones name on a piece of paper and draw them out of a hat.

Other times, I give everyone a number and then roll a d20 over and over again, writing people's name by the roles in order as their numbers roll.
