    Notes

    This script is named for the orange poppies of my childhood, under the tall tress in the front yard, on the northern bank of the St. Lawrence, near Gananoque. To run the Hermit-Lunatic-Ogre, I recommend having every player who draws a Demon token make an Ogre selection at the end of Night 1 to conceal who (if anyone) is actually the Hermit. Don't deal the Lunatic token, you have four Imp tokens!

    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.

    Shugenja

    You start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary.


    これは夢。それも夢。すべ て夢です。

    "You start knowing if your closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. If equidistant, this info is arbitrary." The Shugenja trusts players to their left, or to their right. The closest evil player is the player with the smallest number of steps from the Shugenja to the evil player. If the evil players are ‘equidistant’, that means that the closest evil player clockwise is the same number of steps away from the Shugenja as the closest evil player anti-clockwise. If the evil players are equidistant, the storyteller gives ‘arbitrary’ information to the Shugenja. This means that the Storyteller chooses whether to tell the Shugenja that the closest evil player is clockwise or anti-clockwise. The Shugenja doesn’t know whether their information is arbitrary or not. The Shugenja does not learn how many steps away the evil player is. If a Shugenja is created mid-game, the Shugenja wakes that night to receive their information. The Storyteller communicates with the Shugenja by pointing a finger in the appropriate direction, but may use other methods if they wish.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Shugenja. If the closest evil player is in a clockwise direction, point your finger horizontally in that direction. If the closest evil player is in an anti-clockwise direction, point your finger horizontally in that direction. If the two closest evil players are equidistant, point your finger horizontally in either direction. Put the Shugenja to sleep.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    1. 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.
  11. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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."
    3. 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.
  12. Townsfolk

    Juggler

    On your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct.


    For my next trick, as per request, I will need a flower, a bag of beans, a toy snake, a paintbrush, and a motorized gasoline-powered hedge trimming device. I warn you, this trick may be my last. Oh dear.

    "On your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct." The Juggler takes the risk of convincing people to reveal their characters on the 1st day, in the hope of guessing as many as possible that are telling the truth. On the first day, they may guess which players are which characters. That night, the Juggler learns how many guesses they got right...if they are not killed beforehand. They must make their guesses publicly, so everyone hears what is guessed. They may guess zero characters, or up to five characters, and these characters and players may be different or the same. If the Juggler made their guesses while drunk or poisoned, but is sober and healthy when their ability triggers that night, then the Storyteller still gives them true information.

    How to Run

    1. During the first day, if the Juggler declares that they are using their ability, then you enter the circle, holding the Grimoire. The Juggler can make up to five guesses, each of any one player and any one character. For each correct guess, mark the Juggler with a CORRECT reminder. (Make sure the players don’t see how many reminders you’re placing.)
    2. That night, wake the Juggler. Show them fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of CORRECT reminders. Put the Juggler to sleep. Remove the CORRECT reminders and the Juggler’s night token when convenient.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Juggler is guessing too fast, prompt them to slow down.
    • If an evil player is bluffing as the Juggler, it can help their bluff if you pretend to move tokens around the Grimoire as they make their fake guesses.
  13. Townsfolk

    Choirboy

    If the Demon kills the King, you learn which player is the Demon. [+the King]


    I saw it, I did. I was in the pews, tidying the hymn books, when a dreadful tune started from the pipe organ. The organist had a long cloak, and long fingers on the keys. And a hat that looked… just like… yours.

    "If the Demon kills the King, you learn which player is the Demon. [+the King]" The Choirboy learns who the Demon is when the King is slain. The King can be in play without the Choirboy. During the setup phase, if the Choirboy is in play and the King isn’t, the King is added. If a King is already in play, the Choirboy doesn’t add a second King. If the Demon kills the King using their ability, the Choirboy learns which player is the Demon. The Demon nominating and executing the King doesn’t count. Minions that kill the King, such as the Assassin, don’t count either. If the Demon attacks the King but doesn’t kill the King, the Choirboy doesn’t learn who the Demon is. The Choirboy learns which player the Demon is, but does not learn which character.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, if the King is not already in play, remove a Townsfolk character token and add the King character token.
    2. Each night except the first, if the Demon kills the King, put the Demon to sleep then wake the Choirboy. Point to the Demon player then put the Choirboy to sleep.
  14. Townsfolk

    Poppy Grower

    Minions & Demons do not know each other. If you die, they learn who each other are that night.


    In the hidden groves of the deep forest, the black poppy dwells. To see its revelry is to be enchanted. To smell its thick aroma is to be lost forever, a slave to the gods of light and dark.

    "Minions & Demons do not know each other. If you die, they learn who each other are that night." The Poppy Grower prevents the evil players from learning who each other are. The Demon still learns three not-in-play characters that are safe to bluff as. If the Poppy Grower dies, the Demon and Minions learn who each other are, as though it were the first night again. If the Poppy Grower becomes drunk or poisoned, Demons and Minions do not suddenly learn who each other are. If the Poppy Grower is drunk or poisoned when they die, Demons and Minions do not learn who each other are, since the Poppy Grower has no ability that night. An evil Traveller still learns which player is the Demon when that Traveller enters play.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Demon. Show the THESE CHARACTERS ARE NOT IN PLAY info token, then any three good character tokens that are not in play. Then, put the Demon to sleep. Do not do the Minion Info and Demon Info steps.
    2. If the Poppy Grower dies, mark them with the EVIL WAKES reminder. That night, wake the Minions and let them make eye contact. Show the THIS IS THE DEMON info token, then point to the Demon. Put the Minions to sleep. Wake the Demon. Show the THESE ARE YOUR MINIONS info token, then point to the Minions. Put the Demon to sleep.
  15. Outsider

    Hermit

    You have all Outsider abilities. [-0 or -1 Outsider]


    In the lost and forgotten places of the earth, the soul’s light beckons.

    "You have all Outsider abilities. [-0 or -1 Outsider]" The Hermit isn’t really here. The Hermit has the abilities of all the other Outsiders on the Script, all at once. They do not have the abilities of Outsiders that are not on the script. If a custom script has more than 4 Outsiders, the Hermit has all these Outsider abilities. If one of the Outsider abilities continues after death, such as the Recluse’s, the Hermit keeps that ability when they die, but does not keep their other Outsider abilities. A Hermit with the Drunk ability does not know that they are the Hermit, and their other Outsider abilities function as normal. A Hermit with the Recluse ability can register as a different character etc. If an Outsider has a jinx, that jinx applies to the Hermit too. The Hermit may remove the Hermit from play during setup, resulting in one less Outsider than normal. If this happens, the Hermit may still be a bluff given to the Demon.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, you may remove an Outsider token and add a Townsfolk token.
    2. Whenever appropriate, treat the Hermit as if they are the other Outsiders, including waking them at night, and using other Outsiders’ reminder tokens. If the Hermit duplicates an in-play Outsider, use the Hermit’s 1, 2 and 3 reminders instead.

    Examples & Notes

    • If Outsider abilities clash, make up a rule to fix the clash, and tell the group. For example, for a Hermit-Butler-Zealot, you may declare that the Hermit must vote when their master votes.
  16. Outsider

    Ogre

    On your 1st night, choose a player (not yourself): you become their alignment (you don't know which) even if drunk or poisoned.


    <grunt><grin></grunt>

    "On your 1st night, choose a player (not yourself): you become their alignment (you don't know which) even if drunk or poisoned.” The Ogre is someone's best friend. The Ogre's chosen player does not change, even if the Ogre is drunk or poisoned when they chose. The Ogre becomes the same alignment as their chosen player immediately on the first night, even if the Ogre is drunk or poisoned. The Ogre is not told their alignment at the beginning of the game. If the Ogre changes alignment by other means, the Ogre learns their new alignment, as normal. If an Ogre is created mid-game, the Ogre chooses a player that night, and becomes their alignment.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Ogre. The Ogre points to a player. Put the Ogre to sleep. If the Ogre pointed to an evil player, flip the Ogre's character token upside down to represent that the Ogre is evil.

    Examples & Notes

    • Optional rule: Mark the Ogre’s chosen player with a FRIEND reminder. The Ogre is always the same alignment as their friend. If the Ogre’s friend changes alignment, the Ogre changes alignment too, but the Ogre does not learn this.
    • This is only recommended for games of 15 players or more, so that there are not too many evil players.
  17. Outsider

    Lunatic

    You think you are a Demon, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are & who you choose at night.


    I am the night... I think.

    "You think you are a Demon, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are & who you choose at night." The Lunatic thinks that they are the Demon. Much like the Drunk, the Lunatic does not know their real character or real alignment. They are woken each night to attack as if they were the Demon that is in play, but their choices have no effect because they have no Demon ability. The Lunatic wakes during the first night to learn three bluffs and the appropriate number of Minions, but this information may be wrong. The real Demon knows which players the Lunatic chose to attack each night.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, put the Lunatic and Demon tokens in the bag. Once all tokens have been returned to you, swap the positions of the Lunatic and Demon tokens in the Grimoire.
    2. During the first night, wake the Lunatic and act as if they are the Demon. Show them the THESE ARE YOUR MINIONS info token and point to a number of players equaling the number of Minions in play. (These can be any players, whether or not they are Minions.) Show any three good character tokens as bluffs. (These can even be characters that are in play.)
    3. During the first night, wake the Demon. Show them the YOU ARE info token, then their Demon token. (This tells them they are the real Demon.) Show them the THIS PLAYER IS info token, then the Lunatic token, then point at the Lunatic player.
    4. Each night, before the Demon wakes to attack, wake the Lunatic to act as if they were that Demon. Put a CHOSEN reminder on each player they chose, then put them to sleep. Wake the real Demon, point at the Lunatic, show the Lunatic token to the real Demon, and point at the players that the Lunatic chose. Then the Demon acts as normal.

    Examples & Notes

    • You can make the Lunatic think they are a different Demon than the in-play Demon by instead putting two Demon tokens in the bag, then replacing one of them with the Lunatic token once they are in the Grimoire.
  18. Outsider

    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.
  19. 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

    1. 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.)
    2. Each dusk, the poisoned player becomes healthy—remove their POISONED reminder.
  20. Minion

    Cerenovus

    Each night, choose a player & a good character: they are “mad” they are this character tomorrow, or might be executed.


    Reality is merely an opinion. Specifically, my opinion.

    "Each night, choose a player & a good character: they are "mad" they are this character tomorrow, or might be executed." The Cerenovus encourages players to pretend to be different characters than they actually are. The Cerenovus chooses Townsfolk or Outsiders that players are mad about being. They must try to convince the group that they actually are this character tomorrow, or else die. Simply hinting is not enough to avoid death. The player must make a decent effort to convince the group. Mad players are never literally forced to say things they don’t want to—but if the Storyteller doesn’t hear them make an effort, they pay the price. Mad evil players might be executed this way, but “might” means you can choose not to, to prevent evil from winning by this strategy. Like the Mutant, an execution penalty counts as the one execution allowed per day.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Cerenovus. They point at any player and at any Townsfolk or Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Cerenovus to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the MAD reminder. Wake this player, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Cerenovus token, then the character token of the character they are mad about being. Put that player to sleep.
    2. During the next day or night, if you feel that the mad player has not done their best to convince the group they are this character, you can decide to execute them. Declare this to the group. They die. If you execute them during the day before the normal execution happens, go to the night phase. (There is a maximum of one execution per day.)
  21. 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.

    Baron

    There are extra Outsiders in play. [+2 Outsiders]


    This town has gone to the dogs, what? Cheap foreign labor... that's the ticket. Stuff them in the mine, I say. A bit of hard work never hurt anyone, and a clip'o'the ears to any brigand who says otherwise. It's all about the bottom line, what?

    "There are extra Outsiders in play. [+2 Outsiders]" The Baron changes the number of Outsiders present in the game. This change happens during setup, and it does not revert if the Baron dies. A change in characters during setup, regardless of what happens during the game, is shown on character sheets and tokens in square brackets at the end of a character's description—like [this]. The added Outsiders always replace Townsfolk, not other character types.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, remove any two Townsfolk character tokens and add any two Outsider character tokens. (If you add the Drunk, remember to follow its setup instructions as well.) These Outsider tokens go into the bag instead of the Townsfolk tokens.

    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.

    Duchess

    Each day, 3 players may choose to visit you. At night*, each visitor learns how many visitors are evil, but 1 gets false info.


    We shall entertain between the hours of 6 and 7 precisely. Tea at 6:15. Scones at 6:45. Do not be late. Formal wear applies, as always.

    "Each day, 3 players may choose to visit you. At night*, each visitor learns how many visitors are evil, but 1 gets false info." Add the Duchess if your script has too little information or too much misinformation. Sometimes, you may want to create a character list using the Script Tool that has hardly any good characters that gain information directly. Whilst having an abundance of abilities and a lack of information can be fun for some players, other players like something more. The Duchess adds regular information to such a game. Each player that visits the Duchess learns how many visitors are evil, including themself. However, one visitor of the Storyteller’s choice will get false information. Players that visit the Duchess still get to use their ability normally. The Duchess does not make their ability give false information. The players decide amongst themselves which players will be the three players to visit. If exactly three visitors cannot be decided upon, then the Duchess does not act tonight.

    How to Run

    1. At the start of the game, declare that the Duchess is in play. Add the Duchess token and their reminders to the Grimoire. Each day, any player may volunteer to visit the Duchess tonight.
    2. If exactly three players volunteer to visit the Duchess tonight, then mark two of them with a VISITOR reminder and one of them with a FALSE INFO reminder. If more or less than three players volunteer to visit, do not add these reminders.
    3. At night, wake each player marked VISITOR or FALSE INFO one at a time. Show the woken player the Duchess token. If the woken player is marked VISITOR, show them fingers (0, 1, 2, or 3) equaling the number of evil players who are marked either VISITOR or FALSE INFO. If the woken player is marked FALSE INFO, show them any number of fingers except the correct number. Put the woken player to sleep.
    4. Remove the Duchess at any time, declaring when you do so.
