Jeroen started a faq, and documentation is still work-in-progress, but ...

In a non-mafia game there are two factions, the villagers and the
werewolves.  The seer, angel and masons are really villagers and they are
there to ensure a village win, even if they have to sacrifice themselves.
The werewolves are trying to kill everybody else to get the win.

If you add in mafia and police, the police are just villagers.  Again,
they're trying to get a village win even if they die in the undertaking.
The mafia are a third faction, trying to kill off the villagers and the
werewolves.
