    Notes

    An Alchemist-Xaan does not poison & starts knowing how many Outsiders are in play. With inspiration taken from amy's Alchemy 101 and Axios's Adventuring Party, this script provides many different options for a Storyteller to run both Alchemist and Boffin and there are varying levels of spice among the options. Please see below for the custom Alchemist x Xaan Bootlegger Jinx. This script presents the Alchemist as a piece of the solve, rather than a part of the chaos. Similarly, Boffin here is less about confirmation and much more about utility for the evil team. These are both concepts that I feel are dramatically under-represented on custom scripts. Secondary characters highlighted here are the Organ Grinder and Imp. I think the Alchemist Organ Grinder mini-game is interesting over the length of a game for all players involved. Through this confusion, not having to solve for a demon type allows for some approach-ability in the script, without much loss of power for the evil team. (This also reduces potentially poor interactions with other demons) Finally, I want to highlight the effectiveness of the Amnesiac here. An Amne can simply exist as it does and have a powerful Townsfolk ability. Or, the Boffin can provide the Demon with an Amnesiac ability that helps their team in some way, or otherwise hurts the Good team. But crucially, the Alchemist can have the Boffin ability and give the demon a custom Amnesiac ability which hurts their team. This is a space I haven't seen explored yet and I think there are some really great ideas out there to make for some seriously interesting games. Oh, and don't forget that an Alchemist Boffin can instead help out a Recluse! Maybe give them a Townsfolk ability or go extra crazy and give them an Amnesiac ability to puzzle through? Lots of possibilities. Sources of early actionable info: Noble, Village idiot, Fortune Teller Sources of droisoning: Sweetheart, Puzzlemaster, Xaan, Boffin Puzzlemaster, Boffin Village Idiot (conditional, limited), Boffin Amnesiac (?) Additional reasons for misinformation: Village Idiots, Fortune Teller Red Herring, Recluse misregistration, Damsel/Damsel coverage, Marionette Outsider modification: Alchemist Xaan (see custom jinx below), Xaan, Marionette (conditional), Boffin Huntsman Boffin abilities: Sweetheart, Puzzlemaster, Farmer, Amnesiac, Fisherman, Huntsman, Undertaker, Village Idiot, General Alchemist abilities: Marionette (jinx), Xaan (custom jinx), Organ Grinder (jinx), Boffin --- Alchemist Boffin abilities: Farmer, Amnesiac, Soldier, and nearly any Townsfolk ability when given to a Recluse Escape Rope/Balance: Damsel guess, Imp starpass, Xaan paranoia, Organ Grinder confusion This custom jinx fixes the inherent issue with an Alchemist-Xaan crippling the evil team. Without this jinx, the Alchemist-Xaan would likely reduce the Outsider count to 0 (catastrophic with base 2 Outsiders) while also blocking an actual Xaan from being able to do anything. Here, an Alchemist with the Xaan ability does not poison their fellow Townsfolk, but still modifies the Outsider count. What makes this helpful for the Alchemist is that they learn exactly how many Outsiders are in play. How to run: The Alchemist-Xaan still has the Xaan's setup ability. When building a bag with the intent of having a Alchemist-Xaan in play, put a set number of Outsiders in the bag. Be mindful that Alchemist is a Townsfolk. Careful ST discretion is required. The more Outsiders you put in, the more confirmed players they can find, but at the cost of fewer Townsfolk abilities. Also be mindful what outsiders you're adding to the game. Like Xaan, this overrides all other Outsider modification, including an evil Xaan. When the Alchemist-Xaan's night of poisoning arrives, no Townsfolk are poisoned by it (but may still be poisoned by a real Xaan in play). Notes: - A Recluse still cannot misregister to the Alchemist-Xaan. This includes when they learn how many Outsiders are in play. - Since Alchemist goes before Xaan in night order, an Alchemist's learned Outsider count can never be manipulated by a Xaan night. However, an Alchemist who is already droisoned at that point from a different source may receive an incorrect Outsider number. Strategy and Balance: The Alchemist knows how many Outsiders are in play, so they are all confirmed, which is a huge boon to the good team. Where this balances, however, is that now an actual evil Xaan isn't stifled. If town can figure out that there is a Xaan in play, they know when the Xaan night is (if the Alchemist is to be trusted!). But if they believe that there isn't a Xaan when there really is, the minion ability is still activating, causing misinformation for the good team. Note that an Alchemist-Xaan may not want to be immediately public with their info! If there is a real Xaan in play, they may hear the number and immediately know their real Xaan night. What the heck does 'Oil of Vitriol' mean? It's an antiquated name for concentrated sulfuric acid. Vitriol comes from the Latin word vitriolus meaning "small glass", referring to sulfuric crystals. This ties in the theming of both Alchemist and Boffin, while it's relation to Brimstone leans into the solo Imp element of the script. In modern-day English, vitriol also refers to abusive or venomous language used to express blame or bitter deep-seated ill will. Just the thing these evil characters would be doing in their own worlds. Tangentially, "oil" could also be connected to Noble, Fisherman or Recluse on script.

    Steward

    You start knowing 1 good player.


    How DARE you accuse Her Ladyship of wrongdoing? I’ve known her my entire life! All nine years!

    "You start knowing 1 good player." The Steward knows 1 good player. The Steward learns a player, but not their character. The Steward learns their information on the first night of the game. If created mid-game, then the Steward learns their information that night instead.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, put the KNOW reminder by any good character token. During the first night, wake the Steward. Point to the player marked KNOW. Put the Steward to sleep.
  3. Townsfolk

    Noble

    You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil.


    Sarcasm is indeed the lowest form of wit. But speaking in response to your criticism, Sir, it is, nevertheless, a form of wit.

    "You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil." The Noble learns that one of three players is evil. The Noble learns their information on the first night only. If a Noble is created mid-game, the Noble learns their information on their first night. The Noble learns two good players and one evil player. They may not learn one good player and two evil players. They may not learn three evil players.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, mark two good players' character tokens with Noble KNOW reminders. Mark any evil player's character token with the third KNOW reminder.
    2. During the first night, wake the Noble. Point to all three players marked KNOW. Put the Noble to sleep.
  4. Townsfolk

    General

    Each night, you learn which alignment the Storyteller believes is winning: good, evil, or neither.


    I don’t have time for quotes.

    "Each night, you learn which alignment the Storyteller believes is winning: good, evil, or neither." The General knows who is winning. If the good team is winning, the Storyteller gives a thumbs up. If the evil team is winning, the Storyteller gives a thumbs down. If neither team is winning, or the Storyteller isn’t sure, the Storyteller gives a thumbs to the side. The Storyteller is the judge on which team is winning. Many factors may be included, such as how many players of each team are still alive, how much information the good team has, how successful the evil team’s bluffs seem to be, which players the group wants to execute next, or how experienced the Demon player is. All of these, and more, will inform the Storyteller’s judgment. The Storyteller decides who is winning at the point that the General wakes. Previous events in the night may affect their decision.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the General. If you believe that the good team is winning, give a thumbs up. If you believe that the evil team is winning, give a thumbs down. If you don’t know which team is winning, give a thumbs to the side. Put the General to sleep.

    Villageidiot3

    Each night, choose a player: you learn their alignment. [+0 to +2 Village Idiots. 1 of the extras is drunk]


    장미는 파랗고, 제비꽃은 빨갛다네. 방금 말 일부러 거꾸로 한거야. 진짜야.

    "매일 밤, 플레이어 1명을 선택하세요. 그 플레이어의 성향을 알게 됩니다. [+0~+2 동네바보. 추가된 동네바보 중 1명은 취해 있습니다.]" 동네바보들은 플레이어의 성향을 알아내는 집단입니다. 취한 동네바보는 게임 세팅 때 이야기꾼이 정합니다. 플레이어 수와 상관없이 동네바보는 1명, 2명, 혹은 3명까지 있을 수 있습니다. 동네바보가 1명뿐이라면 그 플레이어는 취해 있지 않습니다. 취한 동네바보가 참 정보를 받을 수도 있습니다. 세팅 단계에서 동네바보가 추가될 때는 다른 마을주민을 대신합니다. 게임 도중 동네바보가 생기면 한 명만 생깁니다. 동네바보들은 한꺼번에 행동하지 않고, 한 명씩 따로 행동합니다. 멀쩡한 동네바보들이 모두 게임에서 사라져도, 남은 취한 동네바보는 계속 취한 상태입니다. 멀쩡한 동네바보가 다른 이유로 취하거나 중독되더라도, 원래 취한 동네바보는 그대로 취해 있습니다.

    How to Run

    1. 게임을 세팅할 때, 캐릭터 토큰을 주머니에 넣기 전에 마을주민 토큰 0개, 1개, 또는 2개를 동네바보 토큰으로 바꾸세요. 첫날 밤을 준비할 때 동네바보 1명에게 취함 알림을 표시하세요.
    2. 매일 밤, 동네바보를 한 명 깨우세요. 그 플레이어는 플레이어 1명을 가리킵니다. 엄지를 위나 아래로 보여주고 다시 재우세요. 모든 동네바보가 행동할 때까지 반복합니다.

    Fortune Teller

    Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you.


    I sense great evil in your soul! But... that could just be your perfume. I am allergic to Elderberry.

    "Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you." The Fortune Teller detects who the Demon is, but sometimes thinks good players are Demons. Each night, the Fortune Teller chooses two players and learns if at least one of them is a Demon. They do not learn which of them is a Demon, just that one of them is. If neither is the Demon, they learn this instead. Unfortunately, one player, called the Red Herring, will register as a Demon to the Fortune Teller if chosen. The Red Herring is the same player throughout the entire game. This player may be any good player, even the Fortune Teller themself, and the Fortune Teller does not know which player it is. The Fortune Teller may choose any two players—alive or dead, or even themself. If they choose a dead Demon, then the Fortune Teller still receives a nod.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, put the Fortune Teller's RED HERRING reminder token by any good character token, marking that player as the Red Herring.
    2. Each night, wake the Fortune Teller. The Fortune Teller points at any two players. If either chosen player is a Demon or the Red Herring, nod your head yes. Otherwise, shake your head no. Put the Fortune Teller to sleep.
    3. In smaller games, making the Fortune Teller their own Red Herring is sometimes advised, as the Fortune Teller gets more information that way.
  7. Townsfolk

    Undertaker

    Each night*, you learn which character died by execution today.


    Hmmm....what have we here? The left boot is worn down to the heel, with flint shavings under the tongue. This is the garb of a Military man.

    "Each night*, you learn which character died by execution today." The Undertaker learns which character was executed today. The player must have died from execution for the Undertaker to learn who they are. Deaths during the day for other reasons, such as the Gunslinger choosing a player to kill, or the exile of a Traveller, do not count. The Undertaker wakes each night except the first, as there have been no executions yet. If nobody died today, the Undertaker learns nothing. The Storyteller either does not wake the Undertaker at night, or wakes them but does not show a token. If the Drunk is executed, the Undertaker is shown the Drunk character token, not the token for the Townsfolk that the Drunk player thought they were.

    How to Run

    1. If a player dies by execution, put the Undertaker's DIED TODAY reminder token by the dead player's character token.
    2. Each night except the first, if any player died by execution today, wake the Undertaker. Show the character token marked DIED TODAY to the Undertaker. Put the Undertaker to sleep. Remove the Undertaker's reminder token when convenient.
    3. In Trouble Brewing, there can only be one execution per day, and every execution causes a player to die. In other editions, there may be more than one execution per day (in which case the Storyteller chooses which character to show the Undertaker) or the execution does not cause a death (in which case the Undertaker learns nothing).
  8. 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.

    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.
  12. Townsfolk

    Alchemist

    You have a Minion ability. When using this, the Storyteller may prompt you to choose differently.


    Visit the interior of the Earth. By rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone. Above the gold, lieth the red. Kether in Malkuth.

    "You have a Minion ability. When using this, the Storyteller may prompt you to choose differently." The Alchemist has a Minion ability. The Alchemist’s ability is usually that of a not-in-play Minion, but can duplicate an in-play Minion ability. The Alchemist learns which ability this is on the first night. They are still a good Townsfolk. They win when good wins, and lose when good loses. They register as good and as the Alchemist. The Alchemist does not wake to learn who the other Minions are or who the Demon is, like Minions do. If the Alchemist’s Minion ability adds or removes characters during setup, this still occurs during setup. If the Alchemist has an ability where the player chooses something, like the Poisoner or the Vizier, the Storyteller may ask the Alchemist to choose differently. The Alchemist must do so.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Alchemist. Show the YOU ARE info token then the character token of a Minion. Put the Alchemist to sleep. If the Alchemist has a not-in-play Minion ability, mark the Alchemist with the IS THE ALCHEMIST reminder and swap the Alchemist token with this Minion token and turn it upside down. (This shows they are still good.)
    2. The Alchemist has this Minion ability. They use it as if they were a Minion, and wake at night when that Minion would normally wake to use their ability.
    3. If the Alchemist makes a choice using their ability, you may ask them to choose differently. If this is during the day, ask verbally. If this is during the night, shake your head, point at the Alchemist ability text on the character sheet, and wait for the Alchemist to choose again.
  13. Townsfolk

    Amnesiac

    You do not know what your ability is. Each day, privately guess what it is: you learn how accurate you are.


    Wait. What. Who? Oh, ok. Wait. What?

    "You do not know what your ability is. Each day, privately guess what it is: you learn how accurate you are." The Amnesiac doesn’t know their own ability. The Storyteller decides what the Amnesiac’s ability is. It may be the same ability as another character in Blood On The Clocktower, something similar, or something original. The Amnesiac may wake at any time during the night to learn information or to choose a player, or their ability may be passive—not requiring action from the Amnesiac player. Each day, the Amnesiac talks to the Storyteller in private, and makes a guess as to what their ability is. The Storyteller answers “cold” if the guess is very wrong, “warm” if the guess is on the right track, “hot” if the guess is very close, and “bingo” if the guess is spot on. Their guess may be specific, such as “Am I learning two players each night that are the same alignment?”, or vague, such as “Is my ability something to do with dead players?”

    How to Run

    1. During setup, decide what ability the Amnesiac player has. During the game, treat that player as if they had that ability, waking them when needed, prompting them to choose players when needed, or whatever else is appropriate. Use the Amnesiac’s ? reminders if you need to.
    2. Each day, the Amnesiac makes a guess about their ability in private. Answer “Cold”, “Warm”, “Hot", or “Bingo”.

    Examples & Notes

    • Make the Amnesiac’s ability guessable, so that the Amnesiac can figure out what their ability is over time. Learning a piece of information each night, or a power that affects the game in a way that the Amnesiac notices, are both good ideas.
    • If the Amnesiac guesses their ability, but the wording is different, still tell them they guessed correctly.
    • You can make the Amnesiac’s ability slightly better than a normal Townsfolk’s ability. Not knowing what it is, the player will need to work harder to receive its full benefit.

    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.
  17. Outsider

    Damsel

    All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses.


    Don't touch the hair, honey.

    "All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses." The Damsel needs to avoid being found by the Minions. If a Minion guesses that you are the Damsel, and does so publicly (so that all players know that they are a Minion), evil wins. No matter how many Minions are in play, they only get one guess, total. If a Minion makes a guess and is wrong, future guesses by this Minion or by other Minions don’t count. If the Demon pretends to be a Minion making a guess, that doesn’t count as a guess. Minions may still make a guess and win. Minions may make a guess at any time. If the Damsel dies, they are no longer at risk of being guessed by a Minion, since the Damsel loses their ability when dead. There may not be a Huntsman in play. But if there is, and the Huntsman chooses the Damsel at night, the Damsel becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk, and is no longer the Damsel. The Damsel learns which Townsfolk and has that Townsfolk ability from then on.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake each Minion. Show the Damsel token. Put each Minion to sleep.
    2. At any time during the game, if a Minion publicly guesses which player is the Damsel and is incorrect, mark the Damsel with the GUESS USED reminder. Future guesses by Minion players have no effect.
    3. At any time during the game, if a Minion publicly guesses which player is the Damsel and is correct, the game ends. Declare that the evil team wins.
  18. Outsider

    Puzzlemaster

    1 player is drunk, even if you die. If you guess (once) who it is, learn the Demon player, but guess wrong & get false info.


    When one begins to think that some thing is merely some other thing, one is usually on the brink of an error. Patience, patience. Don’t confuse just and should with is and isn’t.

    "1 player is drunk, even if you die. If you guess (once) who it is, learn the Demon player, but guess wrong & get false info." The Puzzlemaster tries to figure out who is drunk. A player is drunk for the whole game. It will most often be a Townsfolk, but could be an Outsider. This player does not know that they are drunk. Once per game, the Puzzlemaster may guess which player it is. They may guess publicly, or privately. Whatever their guess, the Storyteller privately tells the Puzzlemaster the name of one player. If the Puzzlemaster guessed correctly, they learn which player the Demon is. If the Puzzlemaster guessed incorrectly, they learn a different player instead. The Puzzlemaster isn’t told if they guessed correctly or not. Only the player made drunk by the Puzzlemaster counts as a successful guess. Players drunk by other means don’t count. If the Puzzlemaster dies, the drunk player is still drunk. A dead Puzzlemaster may not make a guess, as they don’t have that part of their ability.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, mark any player with the Puzzlemaster’s DRUNK reminder. This player is drunk.
    2. At any time during the game, the Puzzlemaster may guess a player, either publicly or by having a private discussion with you. If their guessed player is marked by the Puzzlemaster’s DRUNK reminder, privately tell the Puzzlemaster which player is the Demon. If their guessed player is not marked by the Puzzlemaster’s DRUNK reminder, privately tell the Puzzlemaster the name of a non-Demon player. (Do not say if they guessed correctly or not.) Either way, mark the Puzzlemaster with the GUESS USED reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • While you can make a Minion or the Demon drunk with the Puzzlemaster ability, only do this if you have an excellent reason in mind. It is almost always best to select a Townsfolk player.

    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.
  20. Minion

    Marionette

    You think you are a good character, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are. [You neighbor the Demon]


    Words, words. They're all we have to go on.

    "You think you are a good character, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are. [You neighbor the Demon]" The Marionette doesn't know that they are a Minion. The Marionette draws either a Townsfolk or an Outsider token from the bag, but is secretly the Marionette. The Marionette neighbors the Demon. There are no players sitting in between the Marionette and the Demon. The Demon knows which player is the Marionette. On the first night, the Marionette does not wake to learn the other evil players, and the other Minions do not learn the Marionette. The good ability that the Marionette thinks they have doesn’t work, but the Storyteller pretends it does. It is just as if this player is the Drunk. The Marionette registers as evil, and as a Minion.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting tokens in the bag, remove the Marionette token and add any Townsfolk token.
    2. If there are three Minions in play, remove another Minion token and add another Townsfolk token. During the first night, swap a good player’s character token with a not-in-play Minion character token. Wake this player, show them the YOU ARE info token then their Minion character token, then the YOU ARE info token then a thumbs down, then put them to sleep. This player is now an evil Minion. (This ensures that only one Minion token is in the bag, so at least one good player will neighbor the Demon.)
    3. During the first night, mark a good player neighboring the Demon with the IS THE MARIONETTE reminder. Wake the Demon. Point to the player marked IS THE MARIONETTE and show the Marionette character token. Put the Demon to sleep.
    4. Treat the Marionette as if they were drunk. They wake when their good character would wake, may get false information, do not wake during the Minion Info step etc.

    Organ Grinder

    All players keep their eyes closed when voting and the vote tally is secret. Each night, choose if you are drunk until dusk.


    Round and round the handles go. The more you dance the less you know.

    "All players keep their eyes closed when voting and the vote tally is secret. Each night, choose if you are drunk until dusk." The Organ Grinder makes voting secret. When a player is nominated, players vote with eyes closed. The Storyteller does not count the votes out loud, and does not reveal how many players voted once voting is complete. The Storyteller doesn’t reveal which player is “about to die”. After nominations have closed, the Storyteller reveals which player is executed, as normal. Dead players may vote once if they have a vote token. Their vote token is removed at the end of the day instead of after the vote. If the Organ Grinder is drunk, the vote happens with eyes open, as normal. The Storyteller makes no comment as to whether the Organ Grinder is dead or alive. That night, the Organ Grinder chooses to become sober or drunk again.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Organ Grinder. The Organ Grinder either nods or shakes their head. If they nod their head, mark them with the DRUNK reminder. Put the Organ Grinder to sleep.
    2. When a player has been nominated and a vote is just about to begin, and the Organ Grinder is sober, ask all players to close their eyes. If they ask why, tell them that an Organ Grinder is in play. When counting votes, do so silently. Afterwards, do not reveal how many players voted, nor if the nominee is “about to die”. If there were enough votes to execute the nominee, mark them with the ABOUT TO DIE reminder. Ask players to open their eyes, and if there are any more nominations.
    3. When nominations are closed, declare that the player marked ABOUT TO DIE, is executed.
    4. Each dusk, remove the DRUNK reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Players are not allowed to use other methods to determine who is voting, such as touch or sound. It is a secret.

    Boffin

    The Demon (even if drunk or poisoned) has a not-in-play good character’s ability. You both know which.


    Stellar hydrogen, vast, inert; carbon, oxygen, neon gases, all ruined. Molecular chaos, entropy, yields new cosmic phenomena, rebirth from atomic chaos, dense matter collapsing. All in a teeny little bottle.

    "The Demon (even if drunk or poisoned) has a not-in-play good character's ability. You both know which." The Boffin replicates a good ability. While the Boffin is alive, the Demon has a single Townsfolk ability or Outsider ability. If the Demon is drunk or poisoned, the Demon keeps this good ability. If the Boffin is drunk or poisoned, the Demon temporarily loses this good ability. If the Demon dies and has an ability that functions while dead, such as the Sweetheart, the Demon keeps this ability. If a new Demon is created, such as via a Scarlet Woman or a Barber, this new Demon has an ability from the Boffin. This ability may be different to the previous Demon's ability. If there are multiple Demons alive, only one alive Demon has an ability from the Boffin. If the Demon has an ability that modifies the setup, such as a Choirboy, these changes are made during setup, as normal. Both the Demon and the Boffin learn which good ability the Demon has. The Storyteller may wake these players independently, or together. The not-in-play character may be 1 of the Demon's 3 bluffs. The Demon also wakes at night at the time that the good character would normally wake.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, make any changes that are indicated in brackets on the Demon's two character abilities. Afterwards, place this second character token by the Demon character token.
    2. During the 1st night, wake the Boffin and the Demon. Show the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Boffin token, then the good character token. Place this second character token by the Demon character token.
    3. Treat the Demon player as if they had this character ability, as well as their own Demon ability.

    Examples & Notes

    • Good abilities that would drunk/poison themselves, such as the Sailor, only drunk/poison the Demon's good ability.
  23. Demon

    Imp

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp.


    We must keep our wits sharp and our sword sharper. Evil walks among us, and will stop at nothing to destroy us good, simple folk, bringing our fine town to ruin. Trust no-one. But, if you must trust someone, trust me.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp." The Imp kills a player each night, and can make copies of itself... for a terrible price. On each night except the first, the Imp chooses a player to kill. Because most characters act after the Demon, that player will probably not get to use their ability tonight. The Imp, because they're a Demon, knows which players are their Minions, and knows three not-in-play good characters that they can safely bluff as. If the Imp dies, the game ends and good wins. However, if the Imp kills themself at night, they die and an alive Minion becomes an Imp. This new Imp does not act that same night, but is now the Imp in every other way—they kill each night, and lose if they die.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Imp. The Imp points at any player. Put the Imp to sleep. The chosen player dies—put the Imp's DEAD reminder by the chosen player's character token in the Grimoire and put a shroud on it.
    2. If the Imp killed themself at night, choose an alive Minion and replace their character token with a spare Imp token, changing their character to the Imp. Wake the new Imp, show them the YOU ARE info token, then show them the Imp token. Put the new Imp to sleep.
    3. At dawn, declare which player died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
    4. If the Imp attacks a dead player at night, let them do so. Whenever a character's ability says "choose a player," that means that any player—alive or dead—can be chosen. The Imp may be planning on bluffing as the Soldier, and this kind of thing helps their bluff look stronger.

    Thief

    Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts negatively tomorrow.


    I ain't done nuffink. I weren't even in dat alley last night! It weren't me what stole Mayor Bruno's briefcase wiv all dem fancy dockoments innit. Besides, it was too 'eavy to carry far.

    "Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts negatively tomorrow." The Thief steals votes from a player, making their vote count negatively. When a player chosen by the Thief votes, the vote tally goes down by one instead of up by one. This happens every time that player votes that day. The player with the negative vote changes back to having a positive vote immediately if the Thief dies, including if the Thief is exiled, because the Thief loses their ability. Exiles are never affected by abilities, so the player with the negative vote can support exiles unaffected by the Thief’s ability. Since the Storyteller counts the number of votes out loud as they move their hand around the circle, all players will know which player the Thief chose.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Thief. They point at any player. Mark the chosen player with the Thief’s NEGATIVE VOTE reminder. Put the Thief to sleep.
    2. Each time you tally the vote of a player marked NEGATIVE VOTE, count it as subtracting one vote instead of adding one vote. (Count this out loud, as normal.)
  25. Traveller

    Bureaucrat

    Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts as 3 votes tomorrow.


    Sign here please. And here. And here. Aaaaaaaaand here. This should all be sorted and tallied by the end of the day, assuming everyone's signatures are legible. We haven't had a mix-up in the paperwork for ages. Yesterday noon, if memory serves...

    "Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts as 3 votes tomorrow." The Bureaucrat gives extra votes to a player of their choice. When a player chosen by the Bureaucrat votes, that vote counts as three votes. This happens every time that player votes that day. The player with the triple vote loses it immediately if the Bureaucrat dies, including if the Bureaucrat is exiled, because the Bureaucrat loses their ability. Exiles are never affected by abilities, so the player with the triple vote can only support exiles once, not three times. Since the Storyteller counts the number of votes out loud as they move their hand around the circle, all players will know which player the Bureaucrat chose.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Bureaucrat. They point at any player. Mark the chosen player with the Bureaucrat’s 3 VOTES reminder. Put the Bureaucrat to sleep.
    2. Each time you tally the vote of a player marked 3 VOTES, count it as three votes instead of one. (Count this out loud, as normal.)

    Butcher

    Each day, after the 1st execution, you may nominate again.


    It tastes like chicken. More please.

    "Each day, after the 1st execution, you may nominate again." The Butcher allows a second execution to occur per day. After the first executed player has died, the Butcher may nominate a second player for execution. The Butcher may nominate a player that has already been nominated today, and the Butcher may make a nomination even if the Butcher already made a nomination earlier today. If a player is executed, even if they do not die, then the Butcher may use their ability. The players may choose to vote or not to vote, so there is no guarantee that this extra nomination will cause an execution—it still needs to get enough votes—but this second nomination does not need to exceed the vote tally of the previous nominations. If no execution occurs today, then the Butcher may not use their ability at all today.

    How to Run

    1. Each day, immediately after a player is executed, the Butcher may nominate a player for execution. (Remind them if needed.) To succeed, this nomination must tally votes of at least half the alive players, as normal, but does not have to exceed the votes of the execution that prompted the Butcher ability. If this second execution succeeds, it does not allow the Butcher to nominate a third player.

    Apprentice

    On your 1st night, you gain a Townsfolk ability (if good), or a Minion ability (if evil).


    For years have I traveled, studying the ways of The Craft. Which craft, you ask? Simply that of the simple folk. Nothing to worry about. Not yet.

    "On your 1st night, you gain a Townsfolk ability (if good) or a Minion ability (if evil)." The Apprentice has either a Townsfolk or a Minion ability. A good Apprentice gains a Townsfolk ability. An evil Apprentice gains a Minion ability. They have this ability until they die. The Apprentice learns their ability on their first night, and they may act that night if the character whose ability they gain would do so. Only abilities listed on the character sheet may be gained. If the Apprentice gains an ability that normally only functions on the first night of the game, such as the Grandmother’s, it functions on the Apprentice’s first night instead. The Apprentice does not literally become the character whose ability they gain. They are the Apprentice, a Traveller, so they may be exiled but not executed, and they do not count toward the number of alive players to see if evil wins due to just two players being alive. Also, other characters’ abilities that detect characters would detect the Apprentice as the Apprentice.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night after the Apprentice enters play, wake the Apprentice. Show them the YOU ARE info token, then a Townsfolk or Minion token. In the Grimoire, replace the Apprentice token with that character token, and mark them with the IS THE APPRENTICE reminder. That player remains the Apprentice but gains the ability of their character token.

    Examples & Notes

    • You will almost certainly want to choose a not-in-play character ability, because there is only one of each character token and the Apprentice needs to use that token.

    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.
