Kill My Darlings

Full Script

Ruth

Notes

This script is intended to be a good option for early intermediate players, particularly ones who have mostly played Trouble Brewing. The goal is to avoid situations where one misplay could sink a team, have roles that are easy to understand and bluff, and avoid punishing interactions that less experienced players might stumble into, while still giving scope for experienced players. The goal is also to introduce concepts that are found past TB that new players may not be familiar with, but to do so in a more gentle way. For madness, Pixie but not Cerenovus; for coverage, Juggler; for alignment-switching, Fang Gu, but no way to end up with extra living evils.
