I did a quick Google search and found this fun balancing sheet for an online version of WW which I think I'll be using with some tweaks: werewolf.chat/Default
Lots and lots of roles here. I'll be ignoring the Cultist and Crazed Shaman roles, and I'm leaning against including the Matchmaker and Lover roles. The main features of the game I've planned out are the Shaman and Traitor roles, alongside the Curse. The Seer will be massively nerfed in this game as a result. If you think this is too complicated, please tell me and I'll simplify the Shaman and maybe take out another role or two.

I'll do a more in-character version of this later, but I'll keep it simple for now so no-one has to do a double-take every time they read "voz" or "ze".

If we have 12 or less players, here are the roles we may be using.

Good guys: They win when there are no bad guys left
Villager: Kill all the wolves via lynching.

Seer: Scan identities during the night phase.

Shaman*: Here's the big complicated role. The Shaman will randomly gain a power every night and must use that power on someone, or risk me giving it to someone randomly. They cannot use their power on the same person on consecutive nights. Their target will be public knowledge at the end of the night phase, but the specific side effect will only be known by the Shaman. All these side effects will take effect during the night phase and will expire after the next day phase. The side effects are:
* Death (RIP)
*Reveal (if the player is lynched, they will survive and have their role revealed)
* Silence (the player will not be able to use any powers)
* Desperation (if the player is lynched, the last player to vote for them will be killed)
* Protection (the player cannot die unless lynched)
* Impatience (the player adds lynch votes for every player and their actual lynch vote is ignored)
* Pacifism (lynch votes from this player are ignored)
* Influence (lynch votes from this player count for double)

Harlot*: Can visit a player during the night phase, and that player will be alerted to your identity. The Harlot will die if visiting a Werewolf, or victim of a Werewolf, but they will not die if targeted and not in the house.

Bad guys: They win when they outnumber the good guys, and they know who each other are
Werewolf: Able to kill someone every night.

Traitor*: Turns into a Werewolf once all Werewolves are dead. Scans as a Villager until they turn. If they die before the Werewolves, they will show up as a Villager.

Werecrow*: A type of Werewolf that can also observe a player and be alerted if they used a power that night.

And one last mechanic:
The Curse: A cursed player will show up as a Werewolf. Players will not be alerted that the Curse has hit them unless they are the Traitor. Seers and Werewolves cannot be cursed.

*: May appear. Dependent on participant numbers.
