    Notes

    If illegal choices are made by a character, their ability malfunctions. The Pit Hag and Gambler abilities are amended to read: 'Each night*, you MAY choose a player...' No Good, Very Bad Day Tor Script Attempt #1 Not sure how balanced this bad boy is yet, but I really wanted something that has a LOT of room for ambiguity across all the roles. So: Chef <-> Clockmaker Empath <-> Mathematician High Priestess <-> Balloonist Sailor <-> Snake Charmer <-> Devil's Advocate <-> Pukka <-> Lleech Monk <-> Lycanthrope <-> Vigormortis <-> Vortox Gambler <-> Pit Hag (my favorite) Alsaahir <-> Soldier <-> Recluse <-> Sweetheart <-> Xaan <-> Mastermind And on the first night: Chef <-> Clockmaker <-> Empath <-> Mathematician A Lycanthrope Faux Paw can really mess with Chef information, muddling whether or not the Chef is actually a Clockmaker (I mean, until they die, obviously), but the presence of the Vortox allows for almost any number to be given anyway. Lleech and Lycanthrope is normally a bit rough, but not when the Lycanthrope could just be the Monk, which is why their targets seem to always be living. And as for a Gambler not dying on, say, Night 2? Or any night where they SEEM to have Gambled wrong? Maybe they're just the Pit Hag who has kept missing. I was tempted to include things like a Damsel or a Lunatic, but I think for now I'm focused on no one necessarily knowing what's going on without experimentation. And while Steward and Bounty Hunter can be a fun combination, especially with a Vortox as a possibility, that seems a rather common choice for Tor scripts as of late, so I'm trying to avoid that particular pair of characters. I hope this script doesn't spark within you a desire to move to Australia (or Timbuktu, depending on where you're reading it). Enjoy! 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1 : Added Bootlegger with the rule "If illegal choices are made by a character, their ability malfunctions."

    Chef

    You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are.


    This evening's reservations seem odd. Never before has Mrs. Mayweather kept company with that scamp from Hudson Lane. Yet, tonight, they have a table for two. Strange.

    "You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are." The Chef knows if evil players are sitting next to each other. On the first night, the Chef learns exactly how many pairs of evil players there are in total. A pair is two players, but one player may be a part of two pairs. So, two players sitting next to each other is one pair. Three players sitting next to each other is two pairs. Four players sitting next to each other is three pairs. And so on. The Chef detects evil Travellers just like other character types, but only if those Travellers joined the game before the Chef acts.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Chef. Show the Chef fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of pairs of neighboring evil players. Put the Chef to sleep.
  3. Townsfolk

    Clockmaker

    You start knowing how many steps from the Demon to its nearest Minion.


    Do not disturb me. The tick must continue, for the circle is a symbol of life and contains all things - all answers - in its divine machinery. I must work.

    "You start knowing how many steps from the Demon to its nearest Minion." The Clockmaker learns the distance from the Demon to their nearest Minion. The Clockmaker only learns this on the first night. The distance is the number of seated players, starting from the player next to the Demon and ending at the nearest Minion, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Clockmaker. Show fingers (1, 2, etc.) equaling the distance in players from the Demon to the nearest Minion, starting with the player neighboring the Demon closer to that Minion. Put the Clockmaker to sleep.
  4. Townsfolk

    Empath

    Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil.


    My skin prickles. Something is not right here. I can feel it.

    "Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil." The Empath keeps learning if their living neighbours are good or evil. The Empath only learns how many of their neighbours are evil, not which one is evil. The Empath does not detect dead players. So, if the Empath is sitting next to a dead player, they do not get info about that dead player. Instead, they get info about the closest alive player in that direction. The Empath acts after the Demon, so if the Demon kills one of the Empath's alive neighbours, the Empath does not learn about the now-dead player. The Empath's information is accurate at dawn, not at dusk.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Empath. Show them fingers (0, 1, or 2) equaling the number of evil players neighbouring the Empath. Put the Empath to sleep.

    Sailor

    Each night, choose an alive player: either you or they are drunk until dusk. You can't die.


    I'll drink any one of yer under the table! You! The chatterbox! Reckon you can take me? No? Howza 'bout you, Grandma? You ever tried Old McKillys Extra Spiced Rum before? Guaranteed to put hairs on yer chest! Step aboard, aye!

    "Each night, choose an alive player: either you or they are drunk until dusk. You can't die." The Sailor is either drunk or getting somebody else drunk. While the Sailor is sober, they can't die. Each night, the Sailor chooses a player, who will probably get drunk. If they choose themself, they lose their “cannot die” ability until they become sober. If the Sailor chooses a dead player accidentally, the Storyteller prompts them to choose again. If the Sailor chooses another player, the Storyteller chooses which player is drunk. If they choose a Townsfolk, the Storyteller will usually make the Townsfolk drunk, but if an Outsider, a Minion, or the Demon is chosen, then the Storyteller will usually make the Sailor the drunk one. While sober, the Sailor cannot die, even if they have not yet woken at night to go drinking.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Sailor. They point at any player. Put the Sailor to sleep. Either the Sailor or this chosen player becomes drunk—mark them with the DRUNK reminder.
    2. If the sober Sailor would die, the Sailor remains alive. If the sober Sailor is executed, declare that this player is executed but remains alive. (Do not say why.)
  7. Townsfolk

    Balloonist

    Each night, you learn a player of a different character type than last night. [+0 or +1 Outsider]


    More heat! Higher! Higher! Più alto! Ahhh... it is so beautiful from up here, don't you agree? Can you see the children fishing by the river, under the willow? Can you see the glint of the sun on the circus tent-poles? What's this? An old man, alone, passed out in the vineyard? Less heat! Lower! Lower! Vai più in basso!

    "Each night, you learn a player of a different character type than last night. [+0 or +1 Outsider]" The Balloonist learns players of different character types. Each time the Balloonist learns a player, the player must have a different character type to the previously shown player. The Balloonist does not learn the character type of the player they learn. The shown player can be alive or dead. The shown player can be good or evil. If the Balloonist is drunk or poisoned, they may learn a character of the same type as the previously shown player. When the Balloonist becomes sober and healthy, they must learn a player of a different character type to the previously shown player. During setup, the Storyteller may choose to add an Outsider due to the Balloonist’s ability.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, you may add an Outsider.
    2. When preparing the first night, mark any player with the KNOW reminder. When preparing each night afterwards, mark a character of a different type than the current with the KNOW reminder.
    3. Each night, wake the Balloonist. Point to the player marked KNOW. Put the Balloonist to sleep.
  8. Townsfolk

    Snake Charmer

    Each night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned.


    Effendi... I am but a humble man, but my pipe is golden and a single tune will tame the wildest djinn, Inshallah. They say that greed hangs more men than rope. But not I, Effendi... not I.

    "Each night, choose an alive player: a chosen Demon swaps characters & alignments with you & is then poisoned." The Snake Charmer learns player after player that is not the Demon... but becomes the Demon if they get either too greedy or too bold. Each night, they choose a player. If that player is not the Demon, nothing happens. If they are the Demon, the Snake Charmer becomes that Demon and turns evil, and the Demon becomes good and poisoned permanently. If the Philosopher has the Snake Charmer ability and becomes the Demon, the Demon becomes a poisoned Philosopher.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Snake Charmer. They point at any player.
    2. If that player is not the Demon, nothing happens. Put the Snake Charmer to sleep.
    3. If that player is the Demon, the old Snake Charmer changes into the new (evil) Demon, and the old Demon changes into the new (good) Snake Charmer—swap the Snake Charmer token and the Demon’s token. The new Snake Charmer is poisoned - mark them with the POISONED reminder. Wake the new Demon and show them the YOU ARE info token, a thumbs-down, the YOU ARE token, then the Demon’s token. (This shows they are now evil and the Demon.) Put the new Demon to sleep. Wake the new Snake Charmer and show them the YOU ARE info token, a thumbs-up, the YOU ARE info token, then the Snake Charmer token. (This shows they are now good and the Snake Charmer.) Put the new Snake Charmer to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • In the strange situation that the Snake Charmer is evil, or the Demon good, swap their alignments as appropriate.
  9. Townsfolk

    Mathematician

    Each night, you learn how many players’ abilities worked abnormally (since dawn) due to another character's ability.


    Any consistent formal system x, within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out is incomplete; that is, there are statements of the language of x which can neither be proved nor disproved in x. Ergo, you are drunk.

    "Each night, you learn how many players' abilities worked abnormally (since dawn) due to another character's ability." The Mathematician knows how many things have gone wrong since dawn today. When an ability does not work in the intended way due to another character's interference, the Mathematician will learn that it happened. They'll learn that something went wrong if a piece of information was false but was supposed to be true, or if an ability should have worked but didn't, due to another character. The Mathematician does not learn which players this happened to, only how many times it happened. The Mathematician does not detect their own ability failing. The Mathematician does not detect drunkenness or poisoning itself, but does detect when drunk or poisoned players' abilities did not work as intended. The Recluse registering as evil to the Chef, and the poisoned Soldier dying from the Imp's attack, would each be detected. The poisoned Empath getting true information would not.

    How to Run

    1. Each time a character's ability works abnormally due to another character's ability, mark them with an ABNORMAL reminder.
    2. Each night, wake the Mathematician. Show fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of characters with ABNORMAL reminders. Put the Mathematician to sleep. Remove all ABNORMAL reminders.
  10. Townsfolk

    Monk

    Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight.


    'Tis an ill and deathly wind that blows tonight. Come, my brother, take shelter in the abbey while the storm rages. By my word, or by my life, you will be safe.

    "Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight." The Monk protects other players from the Demon. Each night except the first, the Monk may choose to protect any player except themself. If the Demon attacks a player who has been protected by the Monk, then that player does not die. The Demon does not get to attack another player—there is simply no death tonight. The Monk does not protect against the Demon nominating and executing someone.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Monk. The Monk points at any player except themself. (If the Monk points at themself, shake your head no and prompt them to point at another player.) Put the Monk to sleep. Put the Monk's SAFE reminder token by the chosen player's character token.
    2. If the Demon attacks the player marked SAFE, the player remains alive. (Do not mark them with the Demon's DEAD reminder token or add a shroud as you normally would.) At dawn, declare that no one died at night. (Do not say why.)
    3. At dawn, remove the SAFE reminder token.
    4. In other editions, Demons may have abilities other than killing. The Monk's protection also prevents all other harmful effects of the Demon's ability, such as poisoning or turning the protected player evil.
  11. Townsfolk

    Gambler

    Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die.


    Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

    "Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die." The Gambler can guess who is who... but pays the ultimate price if they guess wrong. Each night except the first, the Gambler chooses a player and guesses their character by pointing to its icon on the character sheet. If the guess is correct, nothing happens. If the guess is incorrect, the Gambler dies. The Gambler does not learn from the Storyteller whether their guess is correct or incorrect. The Gambler may choose any player, dead or alive, even themself.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Gambler. They point at any player, then point at any character icon on their character sheet. Put the Gambler to sleep. If the chosen player is a different character from the chosen character icon, the Gambler dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.
  12. Townsfolk

    Lycanthrope

    Each night*, choose an alive player. If good, they die & the Demon doesn’t kill tonight. One good player registers as evil.


    Beneath the thin veneer of civilisation lies a howling madness.

    "Each night*, choose an alive player. If good, they die & the Demon doesn’t kill tonight. One good player registers as evil." The Lycanthrope roams at night, killing the innocent, whilst the Demon cowers indoors. The Lycanthrope must choose an alive player each night. If the Lycanthrope chooses a dead player, the Storyteller shakes their head no and prompts the Lycanthrope to choose a different player. If the player that the Lycanthrope chooses is good, that player dies, and the Demon cannot kill tonight. If the player the Lycanthrope attacks is evil, that player does not die, and the Demon may still kill tonight. If the Lycanthrope attacks a good player but that good player doesn’t die, the Demon may still kill tonight. While the Lycanthrope lives, one good player registers as evil. They cannot be killed by the Lycanthrope. This evil-registration does not effect win conditions. The good player that registers as evil still wins or loses with the good team.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, mark one good player with the Lycanthrope’s FAUX PAW reminder.
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Lycanthrope. They point at any player. Put the Lycanthrope to sleep. If the chosen player is good, that player dies—mark them with the Lycanthrope’s DEAD reminder. Later that night, wake the Demon, as normal, but the Demon cannot kill. If the chosen player is evil, nothing happens.
  13. Townsfolk

    Alsaahir

    Each day, if you publicly guess which players are Minion(s) and which are Demon(s), good wins.


    I am here because of you, and you are here because of me.

    "Each day, if you publicly guess which players are Minion(s) and which are Demon(s), good wins." The Alsaahir guesses the entire evil team. The Alsaahir’s guesses need to be public, and they need to be during the day. They don’t have to guess every day. Other players may pretend to be the Alsaahir and make a guess. Like the Juggler or the Gossip, the Storyteller will briefly pretend that player is the Alsaahir. If the Alsaahir guesses the Demon player as the Demon, and the Minion players as Minions, the game ends immediately. The Alsaahir must guess all Demon and Minion players. The Alsaahir doesn’t need to guess specific minion characters, nor specific Demon characters. If there is more than one Demon in play, all Demons must be guessed, including dead Demons. If a player is a Minion and Demon, such as Legion, the Alsaahir must guess this player as a Demon. Once a guess is made, the Alsaahir cannot change their mind later that day and guess again. The Alsaahir needs to guess Minions and Demons, even if they are good, but need not guess which Travellers are evil. If the evil team has changed during the game, the Alsaahir must guess the current evil team, not the starting evil team.

    How to Run

    1. Each day, once only, if the Alsaahir declares that they wish to use their ability, prompt them to guess which player is the Demon, and which player(s) are Minions. If incorrect, nothing happens and the game continues. If correct, declare that good wins.

    Examples & Notes

    • Optional rule: like the Juggler and the Gossip, the Storyteller may limit the number of players that make an Alsaahir guess to three players per day. Only use this optional rule if so many players are bluffing as the Alsaahir that the game slows down and ceases to be fun.
  14. Townsfolk

    Soldier

    You are safe from the Demon.


    As David said to Goliath, as Theseus said to the Minotaur, as Arjuna said to Bhagadatta... No.

    "You are safe from the Demon." The Soldier can not be killed by the Demon. The Soldier cannot die from the Demon's ability. So, if the Imp attacks the Soldier at night, nothing happens. Nobody dies. The Imp does not get to choose another player to attack instead. The Soldier can still die by execution, even if the nominator was the Demon. The Soldier is protected from the Demon's ability to kill, not the actions of the Demon player.

    How to Run

    1. During the night, if the Demon attacks the Soldier, the Soldier remains alive. (At dawn, declare that no one died at night.)
    2. In other editions, Demons may have abilities other than killing. The Soldier is also protected from all other harmful effects of the Demon's ability, such as poisoning or turning the Soldier evil.
  15. Outsider

    Drunk

    You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not.


    I’m only a hic social drinker, my dear. Admittedly, I am a heavy burp socializer.

    "You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." The Drunk player thinks that they are a Townsfolk, and has no idea that they are actually the Drunk. During setup, the Drunk's token does not go in the bag. Instead, a Townsfolk character token goes in the bag, and the player who draws that token is secretly the Drunk for the whole game. The Storyteller knows. The player does not. The Drunk has no ability. Whenever their Townsfolk ability would affect the game in some way, it doesn't. However, the Storyteller pretends that the player is the Townsfolk they think they are. If that character would wake at night, the Drunk wakes to act as if they are that Townsfolk. If that Townsfolk would gain information, the Storyteller may give them false information instead—and the Storyteller is encouraged to do so.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, remove the Drunk token and add a Townsfolk character token. Add the Drunk's IS THE DRUNK reminder token to the Grimoire. Put the swapped Townsfolk character token in the bag, not the Drunk character token.
    2. While preparing the first night, put the Drunk's IS THE DRUNK reminder token by any Townsfolk character token, changing that player's character to the Drunk. They are now an Outsider, and do not have the ability of this Townsfolk character. (But they think they do.)
    3. During the game, act as if the Drunk is actually this Townsfolk character. (If that character would wake to act at night, the Drunk wakes to act. If their ability would give them information, you can give false information to them if you wish. See "Drunkenness and Poisoning" in the rulebook.)
  16. Outsider

    Tinker

    You might die at any time.


    I think I see the problem. Luckily, I have an idea! This catapult will shoot twice as far with just a minor adjustment...

    "You might die at any time." The Tinker can die at any time, for no reason. The Storyteller may kill the Tinker at any time. The Tinker cannot die from their ability while protected from death, as normal.

    How to Run

    1. At any time, you may decide that the Tinker dies. If this is during the day, immediately declare that the Tinker has died. If this is during the night, mark the Tinker with the DEAD reminder and wait until dawn to declare which players died during the night. (Do not say how.)

    Examples & Notes

    • While you may kill the Tinker out of the blue during the day, it is most interesting if the Tinker dies at night, because the players will be wondering whether the Tinker died due to their ability or for some other reason.
    • You can choose to never kill the Tinker. This makes the Tinker look really suspicious.
    • We recommend that you never kill the Tinker when it would end the game. Players should win or lose by their own efforts, not Storyteller fiat.

    Sweetheart

    When you die, 1 player is drunk from now on.


    I will never forget her. Never.

    "When you die, 1 player is drunk from now on." The Sweetheart, when they die, causes someone to be drunk for the rest of the game. The Storyteller chooses which player becomes drunk. This ability works while the Sweetheart is dead.

    How to Run

    1. If the Sweetheart dies, you choose any one player to become drunk - mark this player with the DRUNK reminder. The Sweetheart does not lose this ability when dead.

    Examples & Notes

    • You will almost always want to make a Townsfolk drunk, which will hurt the good team, but if evil is winning quite convincingly, you can make an Outsider, Minion, or even the Demon drunk.

    Pit-Hag

    Each night*, choose a player & a character they become (if not in play). If a Demon is made, deaths tonight are arbitrary.


    Round about the cauldron go; In the poison'd entrails throw; Toad, that under cold stone; Days and nights has thirty-one; Sweated venom sleeping got; Boil thou first in the charmed pot.

    "Each night*, choose a player & a character they become (if not in play). If a Demon is made, deaths tonight are arbitrary." The Pit-Hag changes players into different characters. Each night, the Pit-Hag chooses a player and a character to turn that player into. They can’t create duplicate characters. If the character is already in play, nothing happens.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Pit-Hag. They point at any player and any character icon on their character sheet. Put the Pit-Hag to sleep.
    2. If the chosen character is in play, nothing happens.
    3. If the chosen character is not in play, wake the chosen player. Show them the YOU ARE info token, then their new character token, then put them to sleep. Replace their old character token with the new character token. (You may need to turn character tokens upside-down to remind you that a player’s alignment is opposite to the color of the token. You may need to remind the player that their alignment is unchanged, by giving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.)
    4. If a Demon is created, you may choose any players to kill or to protect throughout the night to balance the game. Additional deaths are considered attacks from the Pit-Hag.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Pit-Hag changes a Demon into a new Demon, it is best to make no death occur tonight, so the good team gets a clue that the Demon has changed. You can even wake the Demon, see who they choose to attack, and decide that no one dies. If the Pit-Hag creates a new evil Demon, it is best to kill the old Demon and some other player, to signal to the good team that the Demon has changed. If the Pit-Hag creates a good Demon, it is best to kill either Demon (if it is the final night), or to just let two Demons run amok (if it is not the final night)—but since all Demons must die for good to win, use caution.
  21. Minion

    Xaan

    On night X, all Townsfolk are poisoned until dusk. [X Outsiders]


    Down they fall. One by one. By two, by three, by five.

    "On night X, all Townsfolk are poisoned until dusk. [X Outsiders]" The Xaan poisons all Townsfolk. The Xaan poisons all Townsfolk players for one night then one day. The night that this happens equals the number of Outsiders in play. For example, if there are 2 Outsiders, the Xaan poisons on night 2. There can be any number of Outsiders in play, but usually 1 to 4. This can be the normal number of Outsiders if the Xaan was not in play, or something different. This overrides other characters that add or remove Outsiders, such as the Baron. If the number of Outsiders changes during the game, the Xaan poisons on the night corresponding to the number of Outsiders during setup. The Xaan needs to be alive in order to poison.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add or remove any number of Outsider tokens, including zero. Remove any unnecessary Xaan reminders.
    2. On the 1st night, add the NIGHT 1 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the 2nd night, add the NIGHT 2 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the 3rd night, add the NIGHT 3 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the night that equals the number of Outsiders in play when the game began, add the X reminder to the Grimoire, and remove it the following dusk.
    3. When the X reminder is in the Grimoire, all Townsfolk players are poisoned.
  22. Minion

    Mastermind

    If the Demon dies by execution (ending the game), play for 1 more day. If a player is then executed, their team loses.


    The tentacles of that monster are nailed to the doors of the church. Mothers and children are dancing in the street. Excellent. Everything is proceeding exactly as I have planned.

    "If the Demon dies by execution (ending the game), play for 1 more day. If a player is then executed, their team loses." The Mastermind can still win after the Demon is dead. If the Demon dies by execution, the game continues. The players do not learn that the Demon died. The following day, if a good player is executed—whether or not they die from it—then evil wins. If an evil player is executed or nobody is executed, then the good team wins. A dead Demon does not get to attack. They lose their ability, as normal. During this extra night and day, other characters’ abilities function as normal. If the Demon dies and just two players are left alive, the game still continues for another day—evil does not win from two players being alive, and good did not win by killing the Demon. The Mastermind ability says “play for one more day,” and abilities override standard game rules.

    How to Run

    1. If the Demon is executed and dies, and the game would end, continue playing the game. (Add a shroud as normal. Do not say that the Demon has died.)
    2. Tomorrow, if a good player is executed, declare that the game ends and evil wins, but if an evil player or no player is executed, declare that the game ends and good wins.
  23. Demon

    Pukka

    Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned. The previously poisoned player dies then becomes healthy.


    You truly have been kind welcoming me into your beautiful home. I am so sorry I accidentally scratched you. A little thing. No matter. But please, take this golden toothpick as a humble token of my regret.

    "Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned. The previously poisoned player dies then becomes healthy." The Pukka poisons its victims, who die at a later time. When the Pukka attacks, their victim is poisoned immediately. The next night, just after the Pukka attacks again, that player dies. Unlike other Demons, the Pukka acts during the first night. The Exorcist prevents the Pukka from waking to poison a player. The Innkeeper prevents the Pukka from killing a poisoned player, then that player is no longer poisoned. If the Pukka is drunk and chooses a player, that player does not become poisoned, so does not die the following night. If the Pukka was sober when they chose a player the previous night, but is drunk at night, that player does not die. But when the Pukka sobers up, the poison resumes and kills the player at night.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Pukka. They point at any player. Put the Pukka to sleep. The chosen player is poisoned—mark them with a POISONED reminder.
    2. Each night except the first, the other player marked POISONED dies—mark them with a DEAD reminder, then remove their POISONED reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Players that the Pukka kills are still poisoned at their time of death. If you are using characters from other editions, you may need to keep the POISONED reminder by the DEAD reminder until their death ability is resolved. For example, if the Pukka kills the Sage, the Sage may get false information due to being poisoned by the Pukka.
  24. Demon

    Vigormortis

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]


    All doors are one door. All keys are one key. All cups are one cup, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I give shall never thirst, but the water shall be in him a well springing up into everlasting life.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]" The Vigormortis kills their own Minions, but those Minions keep their ability. Every time the Vigormortis kills a Minion, they die but keep their ability for as long as the Vigormortis remains alive. The Witch, Cerenovus, and Pit-Hag still act each night. Somewhat like the No Dashii, the dead Minion’s closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk becomes poisoned, even if they are dead. If the Vigormortis dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those players become healthy again. One Townsfolk per Minion will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. The Storyteller chooses which of the two Townsfolk is poisoned. All Minions killed by the Vigormortis keep their ability and poison a Townsfolk, not just the most recent. If a dead Minion becomes a non-Minion character, they no longer poison a Townsfolk and have no ability. If a dead Minion becomes drunk or poisoned, they lose their ability until they become sober and healthy again.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting the character tokens in the bag, remove one Outsider character token and add one Townsfolk character token. (If there are no Outsider tokens to remove, do not add a Townsfolk token.)
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Vigormortis. They point at any player. Put the Vigormortis to sleep. If the chosen player isn’t a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder.
    3. If the chosen player is a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder and a HAS ABILITY reminder. The closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk to the Minion becomes poisoned - mark them with a POISONED reminder.

    Vortox

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. Townsfolk abilities yield false info. Each day, if no-one is executed, evil wins.


    Black is White. Right is Wrong. Left is Right. Up is Long. Down is Sight. Short is Blind. Follow me. Answers find.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Townsfolk abilities yield false info. Each day, if no-one is executed, evil wins." The Vortox makes all information false. Anytime a Townsfolk player gets information from their ability, they get false information. Even if they are drunk or poisoned, it must be false. The Vortox does not affect information gained by other means, such as when the Storyteller explains the rules, or when a player’s character or alignment changes. When night falls, if nobody was executed today, evil wins. Exiling a Traveller does not count.

    How to Run

    1. While the Vortox is alive, you must give false information whenever a Townsfolk ability prompts you to give information.
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Vortox. They point at any player. That player dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the Vortox to sleep.
    3. Each dusk, if no player was executed today, the game ends and the evil team wins.
  26. Demon

    Lleech

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing a player: they are poisoned. You die if & only if they are dead.


    Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty brai- I mean pie! Yes. Tasty pie. That’s what I meant to say.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing a player: they are poisoned. You die if & only if they are dead." The Lleech lives if their host lives, and dies if their host dies. On the first night, the Lleech chooses a player, who is poisoned for the rest of the game. If this player is alive, the Lleech cannot die. If the Lleech is executed, the Storyteller tells the group that the player lives, but not why. If the player that the Lleech chose dies, the Lleech dies as well. If this means that only one or two players are left alive, good still wins, because the Demon is dead. From the second night onwards, players that the Lleech attacks die but are not poisoned. If a Lleech is created mid-game, they poison a player that night. They must choose an alive player.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Lleech. They point at any player. That player is poisoned—mark them with the POISONED reminder. Put the Lleech to sleep.
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Lleech. They point at any player. That player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the Lleech to sleep.
    3. If the Lleech would die but the player marked with the Lleech’s POISONED reminder is alive, the Lleech does not die. If the player marked with the Lleech’s POISONED reminder is dead, the Lleech dies and the good team wins.

    Examples & Notes

    • When giving false information to a good player poisoned by the Lleech, make sure this information seems true. If the good player believes it to be false, they will quickly execute themselves and win the game.

    Bootlegger

    This script has homebrew characters or rules.


    When I was born, I was named ‘Homebrewy McHomebrewface’, like my father before me. A respectable name, for a dignified age.

    "This script has homebrew characters or rules." Add the Bootlegger to include homebrew characters or rules. The Bootlegger allows Storytellers to use characters they, or others, have created that are not official characters or allows them to use non-standard rules in the game. If there are homebrew characters on the character sheet, or homebrew rules in effect, the Storyteller tells all players what they are before play begins. The Bootlegger allows for multiple characters or rules to be in effect at once. As long as there is at least one homebrew character on the current script, this Loric will be in play and can only be removed by switching to a script that does not contain any homebrew characters. The Bootlegger is designed for use in the official app only. Bootlegger, despite many claims to the contrary, defeated Homebrewy McHomebrewface, “the people’s choice”, in a hotly contested poll to decide the Loric's name.

    How to Run

    1. At the start of the game, if there are homebrew characters on the character sheet or you are running homebrew rules, declare that the Bootlegger is in play and inform the group of all the homebrew characters and/or rules you are using in this game.

    Tor

    Players don't know their character or alignment. They learn them when they die.


    With thunder as my voice and lightning as my blade, I, the eternal guardian, feast upon the fools who dare approach the forbidden gate. Behold, my sacred goal! To purge the beetle from the belly of the rocky earth, to ensnare it in a net of stars, on the hilltop where heaven meets earth.

    "Players don't know their character or alignment. They learn them when they die." Tor removes all knowledge of who is who. Players do not know which character they are. Players do not draw tokens from the bag. The Storyteller puts them directly in the Grimoire at the start of the game. Character abilities work as normal. Players are woken and prompted to use their ability if needed. When a player dies, they learn their character and alignment. Even if they are drunk or poisoned, this information is correct. The Demon and Minions do not know each other.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, do not pass the bag to the players. Instead, draw the character tokens from the bag and place them in order in the Grimoire.
    2. If a player dies during the day, privately tell them what character and alignment they are. If a player dies at night, wake them, show them the YOU ARE info token, their character token, the YOU ARE info token, and either a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
