Townsfolk
Grandmother
You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too.
Take a jacket if you go outside, dearie. And your thermos. And your scarf. I have a weak heart, you know. Whatever would I do if you caught cold...or worse?
"You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too." The Grandmother knows who their grandchild is, but if they are killed by the Demon, the Grandmother dies too. During the first night, the Grandmother learns their Grandchild—a good player who is a Townsfolk or Outsider. The Grandchild does not learn that they have a Grandmother. If the Demon kills the Grandchild, the Grandmother dies too. If the Grandchild dies by any other means—such as execution, or another type of death at night—the Grandmother does not also die.
How to Run
- When preparing the first night, choose a Grandchild by marking any good character with the GRANDCHILD reminder.
- During the first night, wake the Grandmother and show them the character token marked GRANDCHILD, then point at the Grandchild player, then put the Grandmother to sleep.
- If the Demon kills the Grandchild, the Grandmother dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder.
Townsfolk
Librarian
You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)
Certainly madam, under normal circumstances, you may borrow the Codex Malificarium from the library vaults. However, you do not seem to be a member.
"You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)" The Librarian learns that a particular Outsider character is in play, but not exactly which player it is. During the first night, the Librarian learns that one of two players is a specific Outsider. They learn this only once and then learn nothing more. The Drunk is an Outsider. If the Librarian learns that one of two players is the Drunk, they do not learn the Townsfolk that the Drunk's player thinks they are.
How to Run
- While preparing the first night, put the Librarian's OUTSIDER reminder token by any Outsider character token, and put the Librarian's WRONG reminder token by any other character token.
- During the first night, wake the Librarian and point to the players marked OUTSIDER and WRONG. Show the character token marked OUTSIDER to the Librarian. Put the Librarian to sleep. Remove the Librarian's reminder tokens when convenient.

Townsfolk
Cult Leader
Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbor. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins.
Thinking themselves wise, they became fools.
"Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbor. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins." The Cult Leader wins if everyone joins their cult. At the end of each night, the Cult Leader becomes the alignment of a living neighbor. Once per day, the Cult Leader may publicly choose to form a cult. If all good players vote to join the cult, the game ends immediately and the Cult Leader’s team wins. The Cult Leader may form a cult at any point in the day. Voting to join a cult does not require a vote token. Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player bluffing as the Cult Leader may pretend to form a cult.
How to Run
- Each night, turn the Cult Leader character token right side up (if both alive neighbors are good) or upside down (if both alive neighbors are evil) or either (if one alive neighbor is good and the other alive neighbor is evil). If the Cult Leader's alignment changes, wake the Cult Leader and give a thumbs up or a thumbs down, then put the Cult Leader to sleep. If the Cult Leader’s alignment doesn’t change, do not wake them.
- During the day, the Cult Leader may declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, enter the circle and run a vote in the same way that you would for an Exile. If all good players raise their hand, declare which team has won. If not all good players raise their hand, nothing happens.
Townsfolk
Savant
Each day, you may visit the Storyteller to learn 2 things in private: 1 is true & 1 is false.
Seventy-two matchsticks on the floor... the sun sets early but the moon is unchanged... a torn piece of cloth... evil in the manor house... three by three... the one we trusted is not what he seems... green light means magnesium... residue, but the pattern is wrong... Seventy-two matchsticks on the floor...
"Each day, you may visit the Storyteller to learn 2 things in private: 1 is true & 1 is false." The Savant gets crazy, amazing information that is different every day and every game, but exactly half of it is completely false. Each day, the Storyteller chooses two pieces of information to give the Savant... so get creative! One must be true, and one must be false, and the Savant won’t know which is which. It is up to the Savant to talk with the Storyteller, not the other way around. This isn’t a public conversation, and the group can’t listen in. It’s private. The Savant can choose to not visit the Storyteller if they wish. A drunk or poisoned Savant might get two pieces of true information or two pieces of false information.
How to Run
- Once per day, if the Savant requests a private chat with you, take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. Whisper two pieces of information, one true and one false, to the Savant. (If you cannot think of two straight away, either take your time or ask them to come back in a few minutes.)
Examples & Notes
- Keep the information you give helpful and related to the game. Avoid saying who exactly the Demon is, or it could be a very short game. If you need help on choosing what to say, give information similar to what Townsfolk abilities would provide.
Townsfolk
Nightwatchman
Once per game, at night, choose a player: they learn you are the Nightwatchman.
The night is cold and lonely, but I have the moon, the stars, the crisp wind and the soft thud of leather boots on cobbled stone for company. Yonder, candlelight flickers behind a murky window...
"Once per game, at night, choose a player: they learn you are the Nightwatchman." The Nightwatchman is known by one player. At night, the Nightwatchman chooses a player. This player wakes, and learns which player the Nightwatchman is. The Nightwatchman and their chosen player do not make eye contact. They wake separately. The Nightwatchman player chooses which night to act.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Nightwatchman. The Nightwatchman either shakes their head or points at any player. Put the Nightwatchman to sleep.
- If the Nightwatchman pointed at a player, wake them and show them the Nightwatchman token, then point to the Nightwatchman player. Put the chosen player to sleep. The Nightwatchman loses their ability – mark them with a NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet.
Townsfolk
Philosopher
Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk.
If anything is real, beer is real. Drink, for tomorrow we may die.
"Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk." The Philosopher has no ability until they decide which character they want to emulate. They can do this once per game. When they do so, they gain that character’s ability. They do not become that character. They may want to wait a while to choose. If the Philosopher chooses a character that is already in play, the player of that character becomes drunk. If the Philosopher then dies or becomes drunk or poisoned, the player they are making drunk becomes sober again. If the Philosopher chose a character that was not in play at the time but is in play now, that character is drunk. If the Philosopher gains an ability that works at night, they wake when that character would wake. If this ability is used on the first night only, they use it tonight. If the Philosopher regains their ability via the Bone Collector, or uses their ability twice via the Barista, the Philosopher may choose a new ability, or the same ability as before. If the Philosopher’s ability works while dead, such as the Klutz’s, it works if the Philosopher is dead.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Philosopher. They either shake their head no or point at any Townsfolk icon or any Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Philosopher to sleep.
- If they pointed to an icon of a character not in play, swap the Philosopher token with the chosen character token and mark them with the IS THE PHILOSOPHER reminder.
- If they pointed to an icon of a character in play, the player of the chosen character becomes drunk - mark them with the DRUNK reminder. (You can now use the duplicated character’s reminders for the Philosopher). If the Philosopher dies, the player made drunk by the Philosopher becomes sober - remove the DRUNK reminder.
Townsfolk
Artist
Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question.
Mon Dieu! C'est lumineux! My work, she is... how you say... Magnifique! Dieu est révélé! Oui.
"Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question." The Artist may ask any 1 question, and get an honest answer. The question may deal with anything at all, phrased in any way they want. The Storyteller honestly answers “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.” It is up to the Artist to talk with the Storyteller, not the other way around. This isn’t a public conversation, and the group can’t listen in. It’s private.
How to Run
- During any day, the Artist can request a private chat with you. Take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. They will ask you a question. Whisper “Yes,” “No,” or “I don’t know,” to them, or if you cannot answer in one of these ways, prompt the Artist to ask again in a different way. The Artist loses their ability - mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder.
Examples & Notes
- Like the Savant, evil players bluffing as the Artist may request a private chat with you and pretend to ask a question. To help them bluff, you can pretend to give an answer by nodding or shaking your head.
Townsfolk
Slayer
Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die.
Die.
"Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die." The Slayer can kill the Demon by guessing who they are. The Slayer can choose to use their ability at any time during the day, and must declare to everyone when they're using it. If the Slayer chooses the Demon, the Demon dies immediately. Otherwise, nothing happens. The players do not learn the identity of the dead player. After all, it may have been the Recluse! A Slayer that uses their ability while poisoned or drunk may not use it again. The Slayer will want to choose an alive player. Even if the Slayer chooses a dead Imp, nothing happens, because a dead player can't die again. Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player who's pretending to be the Slayer may pretend to use the Slayer ability.
How to Run
- During the day, the Slayer can declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, the Slayer points at any player. If the chosen player is an alive Demon, declare that the chosen player dies—put a shroud on their character token in the Grimoire. If the chosen player is not an alive Demon, say "Nothing happens." Either way, the Slayer loses their ability—put the Slayer's NO ABILITY reminder token by the Slayer token.
- If a player is bluffing as the Slayer and declares they wish to use their ability, act as if they were indeed the Slayer—allow time for discussion, let them make the decision, and act like you're fiddling with tokens in your Grimoire, then say "Nothing happens."
- When the Slayer declares that they wish to use their ability, give the group a minute or two to discuss who the Slayer should choose. This allows the group to feel responsible for the win (or the loss!), but the Slayer always makes the final choice.
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
- 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.
- 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.
Townsfolk
Mayor
If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead.
We must put our differences aside, and cease this senseless killing. We are all taxpayers after all. Well, most of us.
"If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead." The Mayor can win by peaceful means on the final day. To survive, the Mayor sometimes "accidentally" gets someone else killed. If the Mayor is attacked and would die, the Storyteller may choose that a different player dies. Nobody learns how they died at night, just that they died. If there are just three players alive at the end of the day, and no execution occurred that day, then the game ends and good wins. Travellers count as players for the Mayor's victory, so must be exiled first. Remember that exiles are not executions. Fabled don't count as players for the Mayor's victory, as the Storyteller isn't a player. If the Demon attacks the Mayor, and the Storyteller instead chooses a dead player, the Soldier, or a player protected by the Monk, that player does not die tonight.
How to Run
- During the night, if the Mayor would die, you choose if the Mayor actually dies, or if the Mayor remains alive and another character dies instead—put the Demon's DEAD reminder token by that character token instead of the Mayor, and put a shroud on that character token instead of the Mayor.
- At dawn, declare that the player marked DEAD died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
- At dusk, if exactly three players are alive and no player was executed today, declare that the game ends and good wins.
Examples & Notes
- We recommend you keep the Mayor alive until the final day, since it is most fun for the players that way. On rare occasions, if the group is overwhelmingly convinced early in the game that the Mayor is the Mayor, let the Mayor die so that evil has a chance to win.
- In TROUBLE BREWING, the Mayor’s phrase “your team wins” will always mean “good wins” because the Mayor is always good. In other editions, an evil Mayor means “evil wins” instead.
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
- 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.
- 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.)
- 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.)
Outsider
Recluse1-75
당신은 하수인이나 악마로 보일 수도 있습니다. 이 능력은 당신이 죽어도 유지됩니다.
Not written yet.
Outsider
Politician
If you were the player most responsible for your team losing, you change alignment & win, even if dead.
I'm glad you asked that question. Truly, I am. But I think the REAL question here is...
"If you were the player most responsible for your team losing, you change alignment & win, even if dead." The Politician changes teams if they are losing. When the game ends, if the Politician was responsible for good losing, then the Politician turns evil and wins too. The player needs to be very influential when determining who wins. Simply spreading false information or voting for good players is usually not enough – they need to be the player that was more responsible for the good team losing than any other good player, and preferably more responsible than any one evil player too. The Storyteller is the judge of whether the Politician’s actions qualify. The Politician may still win with the good team, as normal. A drunk or poisoned Politician can not change teams.
How to Run
- When the game ends, if good lost and you feel that this was significantly due to the words and actions of the Politician player, declare that the Politician turns evil and wins too.
- In the rare instance that the Politician is evil, and plays a big part in losing the game for evil, declare that the Politician turns good and wins with the good team.
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
- During the first night, wake each Minion. Show the Damsel token. Put each Minion to sleep.
- 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.
- 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.
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
- While preparing the first night, mark any player with the Puzzlemaster’s DRUNK reminder. This player is drunk.
- 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.
Minion
Poisoner
Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day.
Add compound Alpha to compound Beta... NOT TOO MUCH!
"Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day." The Poisoner secretly disrupts character abilities. Each night, the Poisoner chooses someone to poison for that night and the entire next day. A poisoned player has no ability, but the Storyteller pretends they do. They do not affect the game in any real way. However, to keep up the illusion that the poisoned player is not poisoned, the Storyteller wakes them at the appropriate time and goes through the motions as if they were not poisoned. If their ability gives them information, the Storyteller may give them false information. If a poisoned player uses a "once per game" ability while poisoned, they cannot use their ability again.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Poisoner. They point at any player. The chosen player becomes poisoned—put the POISONED reminder token by the chosen player's character token. Put the Poisoner to sleep. (This poisoned player wakes and acts normally. They have no ability, but they think they do. If their ability would give them information, you can give false information to them if you wish. See “Drunkenness and Poisoning” in the rulebook.)
- Each dusk, the poisoned player becomes healthy—remove their POISONED reminder.
Minion
Assassin
Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not.
...
"Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not." The Assassin kills who the Demon cannot. Once per game at night, the Assassin can kill a player. This player dies, even if they are protected from death in any way, such as from an ability. The Assassin ability is affected by drunkenness and poisoning, as normal. If the Assassin attacks the Goon, the Goon dies and turns evil.
How to Run
- Each night except the first, wake the Assassin. They either shake their head no or point at any player. Put the Assassin to sleep.
- If the Assassin chose a player, that player dies— mark them with the DEAD reminder. This cannot be prevented in any way (except if the Assassin doesn’t have their ability, such as if they’re drunk or poisoned). The Assassin loses their ability—mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet. (The Assassin won’t wake again.)
Minion
Wizard
Once per game, choose to make a wish. If granted, it might have a price & leave a clue as to its nature.
Every man and every woman is a star. Love is the law, love under will.
"Once per game, choose to make a wish. If granted, it might have a price & leave a clue as to its nature." The Wizard makes a wish. This wish is limited only by the player’s imagination. It can be anything at all. The Wizard can write their wish on their phone and wake at night to show the Storyteller, or talk with the Storyteller in private during the day. The Wizard could even make a wish publicly if they are feeling foolish. If the Storyteller tells the group that the Wizard has made a wish, they need not do so immediately, and can do so at any point later on. Many wishes have a price. The price changes the game in some way, or changes the wish in some way. It can be anything at all, and is decided by the Storyteller. The Storyteller may or may not tell the Wizard what the price is. The purpose of the price is to rebalance a wish that is unfair for the good team on a mechanical level. Many wishes leave a clue. The clue can be anything at all, is decided by the Storyteller, and is declared publicly. The purpose of a clue is to rebalance a wish that is unfair to the good team on an informational level. When the Wizard dies, the wish may or may not still be in effect, depending on the nature of the wish and the nature of the price. If the Wizard makes a wish that the Storyteller doesn’t understand, or feels like it would be impossible to implement, the Storyteller may ask the Wizard to wish again, or cancel the wish.
How to Run
- When the Wizard makes a wish, either verbally or via text, decide whether to accept or decline the wish. If the wish is declined, prompt the Wizard to wish again, or tell them that they have no more wishes.
- If the wish is granted, say “Your wish is granted.” or “Your wish is my command”, or nod, or otherwise signal that their wish is accepted. Now or later, you may make a price: make whatever mechanical adjustments to the game you feel are necessary for the wish to be balanced. Now or later, you may declare publicly that the Wizard has made a wish, then give the good team a clue about what was wished.
Examples & Notes
- Storytelling the Wizard can be tricky. The Wizard is the most fun for everybody when all wishes are granted, all wishes leave a clue, and all wishes have a price. However...
- If you feel that by granting a wish, the evil team has benefitted a small amount but the good team still has all they need to figure out who the Demon is and to win the game, you may apply no clue and no price. You may even skip telling the good team that the Wizard has made a wish, or tell them but give no clue.
- If you feel that by granting the wish, the good team is at a severe disadvantage in terms of balance - the game rules have changed so that it is impossible for the good team to win even if they learn who the Demon is - then change the game rules or change the wish so that it is still fair for the good team.
- If you feel that by granting the wish, the good team is at a severe disadvantage in terms of knowledge - they lack the needed information to reasonably win the game - then give them a helpful clue to find out what the wish was.
- If you feel that the wish is so extreme and convoluted that you can think of no clue or price to balance it, or that it would just make the game unfun, then decline the wish completely.
- Overall, the wish should tip the scales in favour of the Wizard, but still allow the good team a reasonable chance of winning. Take your time in deciding how to do this.
Minion
Wraith
You may choose to open your eyes at night. You wake when other evil players do.
Ra'āb ina pān ṣilli ša dāri. Rigim qallu ina šūri, šītu ša šunātīka iredde, u napšutka idlul ina pān maṣṣartī dāriti.
"You may choose to open your eyes at night. You wake when other evil players do." The Wraith knows and shares what happens at night. The Wraith may open their eyes at any point during the night, for as long or as short a time as they wish. They may open their eyes fully, or just peek. The Storyteller wakes the Wraith when other evil players also wake, such as when the Demon kills a player, an evil Traveller uses their ability, or a Cult Leader learns that they are evil. When several players have their eyes open at once, they may communicate if they wish. If a good player catches the Wraith with their eyes open, there is no mechanical effect. A dead Wraith may not open their eyes at night. A drunk or poisoned Wraith is told by the Storyteller that they may not open their eyes that night.
How to Run
- Each time you wake an evil player at night, first wake the Wraith. When you put that evil player to sleep, put the Wraith to sleep.
- If the Wraith loses their ability while alive, privately tell the Wraith that they may not choose to open their eyes tonight, and do not wake them when other evil players wake.
Examples & Notes
- Optional rule: Once per game, a player that is mad that you are the Wraith, dies.
Minion
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
- 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.
- 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.
- Treat the Demon player as if they had this character ability, as well as their own Demon ability.
Examples & Notes

Demon
Leviathan
If more than 1 good player is executed, evil wins. All players know you are in play. After day 5, evil wins.
To the last, I grapple with thee. From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee. For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.
"If more than 1 good player is executed, evil wins. All players know you are in play. After day 5, evil wins." The Leviathan doesn't kill. All players know the Leviathan is in play, even if the Leviathan is created mid-game. Any number of evil players may be executed, but if more than one good player is executed, evil wins. It doesn’t matter which characters were executed, only the alignment of the player at the time they were executed. When the fifth day ends and night begins, if the Leviathan is still alive, evil wins. All types of execution count, even if the player doesn’t die. A player executed due to the Virgin, or due to revealing that they are the Mutant, is still executed. An executed player who lives due to the Pacifist is still executed.
How to Run
- Immediately after dawn on the first day, declare that the Leviathan is in play. Mark the Leviathan with the DAY 1 reminder. At the beginning of each following day, mark the Leviathan with DAY 2, then DAY 3, then DAY 4, then DAY 5 reminders. If a day ends and the Leviathan is marked with the DAY 5 reminder, declare that evil wins.
- If a good player is executed, mark them with the GOOD PLAYER EXECUTED reminder.
- If a good player is executed and a player is already marked with the GOOD PLAYER EXECUTED reminder, declare that evil wins.
Examples & Notes
- For new players, it is helpful to declare that the Leviathan is in play each day, and to say what day it is. On the first day, say “The Leviathan is in play. It is day one.” On the second day, say “The Leviathan is in play. It is day two.” etc. This helps your players remember what Demon they are facing and avoid accidentally losing by forgetting to count the days.
Fabled
Sentinel
There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play.
Name, please. Papers, please. Weapons, please.
"There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play." Add the Sentinel to your script to keep the number of Outsiders in play mysterious. The official character lists are carefully constructed so that the number of Outsiders is never completely known, which lets evil players safely bluff as Outsiders. Many of the games you create using the Script Tool will not have this luxury. If, for one reason or another, the number of Outsiders in a game will become certain, the Storyteller can add a Sentinel. This will confuse matters and help the evil team either bluff as Outsiders or make existing Outsiders look suspicious. Games with a Sentinel in play might have one more Outsider than normal. They may have one less. They may have the normal amount. It is up to the Storyteller.
How to Run
- At the start of the game, declare that the Sentinel is in play. Add the Sentinel token to the Grimoire.
- While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add an Outsider token and remove a Townsfolk token, remove an Outsider token and add a Townsfolk token, or do neither.
