You can use pre formatted role PM's and just fill in player names and other relevant info.
When I first started modding games, I used some of the pre existing Role PM's that were used in earlier mafia scum games as templates, for example this game linked:
forum.mafiascum.net
Theres several links there in spoiler tags including Role PM's used in that game. As a suggestion, you might want to start out a word document or text document on your comp, then go to the mafiascum game there, copy/paste the relevant Role PM's that you need based on whatever setup you rolled and then draft the whole thing in word/text document, adding in whatever roles and names you need, etc. Then when done, copy the appropriate Role PM to the player(s) in question.
As another example, here is a straight copy paste of how I did one of mine in an earlier Mafia game, the Matrix 6 9 player game:
[/LIST]
Also as a help to you, I also sort my game out into different Word/Text docs.
One for initial setup and role PM's as seen above, one for my rule set (this includes the rules of the game and any specific rules or conditions that either apply to the game based on the setup or things that I added that work behind the scenes, example a BP vest one shot that the player does not know about, or something passive.
Third, a separate doc for logging and tracking night actions.

Row: 1
Column: A
Setup determined by using Random. Org random rolling between 1 and three. First roll for Row #1 was the result, second roll for column ( 1=a, 2=b, 3=c) #1 was the result so column A was picked.
The setup is as follows:
1. Town Jail Keeper.
2. Mafia Role Blocker.
3. 1 – Shot Bulletproof Townie.
4. Vanilla Town.
5. Vanilla Town.
6. Vanilla Town.

3. Zhao_Yue (Whover is in this slot)
4. Leopold Stotch
5. Snickersnack
6. Skjolde
7. D2lover
8. Babyhell
9. Logo
Using The randomshell sequencer, the role assignments are randomized and the players are assigned the following roles:
Babyhell: Mafia Role Blocker
D2DC: Vanilla Town 5
D2Lover: Town Jail Keeper
Leopold Stotch: Vanilla Town 4
Logoutzero/coju: Mafia Goon

In PM's you started, you can invite others. The option is located underneath where the participants are listed and (I think) just above the blue colored Pure Diablo Banner.
Also, in the case of scum role PM, you can do them both in one PM if you want to, unless the roles dictate a separate PM.
I agree. This has always been our standard here, unlike MS. Net's whopping 14 day long game day periods.
Join the crusade!
No, not anymore. Quick Topic shut down completely. That's why I used PM's and invited people at the end. if it's any help, it works the same way as sending a new PM - the user's name pops up and you click on it to add it, you don't do it till game over.
what I did at the end was to take down the names of everyone that played then invite the missing ones to each PM thread off the list so that I did not accidentally add someone I was not supposed to.
