War of Whispers

Full Script

McGiggles

Notes

Demons benefit from Boffin info abilities. They can help hunt a Damsel, identify a Politician ally, or add in an extra Outsider. In a Poppygrower game, Boffin info can help demons find their team. Paranoia hangs over Town. A Politician or Damsel may be hiding, or a Fearmonger might have their target on the block. A Harpy can cause chaos, and a Pit Hag's choices can be as quiet or loud as they'd like. Poppygrower can make evil roles just as threatening to their own team, and Preacher can neutralize danger. With Damsel on script, it may be risky to out Balloonist or Savant info, but Chef or Shugenja info can be just as helpful to an evil team who doesn't know each other. Wars are won and lost with whispers. Bootlegger is optional; the Snake Charmer acts before minion and demon info on night 1.
