    Notes

    If a player selects another player that does not match the criteria of their ability (e.g., "living" for Sailor, Snake Charmer, and DA and "different than last night" for DA), they become drunk until dusk. Players learn when their character or alignment has changed, but not to what it has changed. If a Pukka selects themself with their ability, they become drunk until dusk. This means that the "previously poisoned player" does not change until the Pukka selects a player other than themself. v1.1.0 Changes: -Golem, +Moonchild

    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.

  3. Townsfolk

    Empath

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

  4. Townsfolk

    Sailor

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

  5. Townsfolk

    Snake Charmer

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

    Examples & Notes

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

  7. 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

    1. 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.
    2. At dawn, declare that the player marked DEAD died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
    3. 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.

  8. Outsider

    Goon

    Each night, the 1st player to choose you with their ability is drunk until dusk. You become their alignment.

    Yes boss. I explained fings real good to dat geezer. He don't want me explain it again. Nah boss, I don't need no doctor - it's only a knife wound. Be right come mornin'

    "Each night, the 1st player to choose you with their ability is drunk until dusk. You become their alignment." The Goon is immune to other characters at night, but keeps changing allegiances. Each night, the first time a player wakes to use their ability and chooses the Goon, that player becomes drunk immediately. Their ability does not work tonight, nor the next day. Later on the same night, if another player wakes to use their ability and chooses the Goon, their ability works as normal. The Goon cannot make a player drunk unless the player chose the Goon. The Storyteller choosing the Goon due to an ability, such as the Grandmother’s, doesn’t count. As soon as the Goon makes a player drunk, the Goon changes alignment to match theirs. The Goon still changes alignment, and makes the player drunk, if the player choosing the Goon was already drunk or poisoned. If chosen by the Assassin, the Goon dies but still turns evil.

    How to Run

    1. At night, if a player chooses to use their ability on the Goon and nobody is marked with the Goon’s DRUNK reminder, this player immediately becomes drunk—mark them with the DRUNK reminder. Finish resolving this player’s ability and put them to sleep. If this player’s alignment is different from the Goon’s alignment, rotate the Goon’s character token—right side up for good, upside-down for evil—to match this player’s alignment, then wake the Goon, give them a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down (indicating their new alignment), then put the Goon to sleep.
    2. The next dusk, the player that the Goon made drunk becomes sober—remove the Goon’s DRUNK reminder.

  9. Outsider

    Moonchild

    When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player. Tonight, if it was a good player, they die.

    Scorpio looks sideways at the lovers, and you have a choice to make. With silver cross my palm, and your fate shall be revealed. With steel cross my throat, and by the stars you shall regret it.

    "When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player. Tonight, if it was a good player, they die." The Moonchild curses someone upon death, killing them too. The Moonchild must choose a player within a minute or two of learning that they are dead, whether by an execution or at dawn when the Storyteller declares who died at night. The Moonchild can take their time and get advice from the group before making this decision. If the Moonchild chooses a good player, that player dies tonight. If they choose an evil player, nothing happens. As always, play along if an evil player is bluffing as the Moonchild and pretends to use their ability. It is not the Storyteller’s responsibility to prompt the Moonchild to choose a player. The Moonchild must do this shortly after they learn that they are dead. Deliberately not doing so is considered cheating. If the Moonchild is sober and healthy at night but was drunk or poisoned when they chose a player today, that player dies. If the Moonchild is drunk or poisoned at night but was sober and healthy when they chose a player today, that player doesn’t die. The Moonchild kills the Goon if the Goon was good when the Moonchild chose them, regardless of the Goon’s alignment at night.

    How to Run

    1. When you declare that the Moonchild’s player has died, the Moonchild chooses any alive player. If the chosen player is good, mark their character token with the DEAD reminder. Tonight, the player marked with the Moonchild’s DEAD reminder dies.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Moonchild doesn’t realize that they must choose a player when they die, privately remind them. New players may not understand how their character works.

  11. Minion

    Mastermind

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

  12. Demon

    Pukka

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

    Examples & Notes

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

  13. Demon

    Lleech

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

    Examples & Notes

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

  14. Fabled

    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.

  15. 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

    1. At the start of the game, declare that the Sentinel is in play. Add the Sentinel token to the Grimoire.
    2. 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.

  16. Loric

    Tor

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

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

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

    How to Run

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

  17. Loric

    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.
Back to script
