Knight
You start knowing 2 players that are not the Demon.
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.
"You start knowing 2 players that are not the Demon." The Knight knows players that are not the Demon. On the first night, the Knight learns two players who are not the Demon. On subsequent nights, they learn nothing more. The Knight can learn Townsfolk, Outsiders or even Minions but does not learn which character type they are.
How to Run
- During setup, mark two non-Demon players with the Knight’s KNOW reminders. During the first night, wake the Knight. Point to the two players marked KNOW.

Gambler
Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die.
Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.
"Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die." The Gambler can guess who is who... but pays the ultimate price if they guess wrong. Each night except the first, the Gambler chooses a player and guesses their character by pointing to its icon on the character sheet. If the guess is correct, nothing happens. If the guess is incorrect, the Gambler dies. The Gambler does not learn from the Storyteller whether their guess is correct or incorrect. The Gambler may choose any player, dead or alive, even themself.
How to Run
- Each night except the first, wake the Gambler. They point at any player, then point at any character icon on their character sheet. Put the Gambler to sleep. If the chosen player is a different character from the chosen character icon, the Gambler dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.

Alsaahir
Each day, if you publicly guess which players are Minion(s) and which are Demon(s), good wins.
I am here because of you, and you are here because of me.
"Each day, if you publicly guess which players are Minion(s) and which are Demon(s), good wins." The Alsaahir guesses the entire evil team. The Alsaahir’s guesses need to be public, and they need to be during the day. They don’t have to guess every day. Other players may pretend to be the Alsaahir and make a guess. Like the Juggler or the Gossip, the Storyteller will briefly pretend that player is the Alsaahir. If the Alsaahir guesses the Demon player as the Demon, and the Minion players as Minions, the game ends immediately. The Alsaahir must guess all Demon and Minion players. The Alsaahir doesn’t need to guess specific minion characters, nor specific Demon characters. If there is more than one Demon in play, all Demons must be guessed, including dead Demons. If a player is a Minion and Demon, such as Legion, the Alsaahir must guess this player as a Demon. Once a guess is made, the Alsaahir cannot change their mind later that day and guess again. The Alsaahir needs to guess Minions and Demons, even if they are good, but need not guess which Travellers are evil. If the evil team has changed during the game, the Alsaahir must guess the current evil team, not the starting evil team.
How to Run
- Each day, once only, if the Alsaahir declares that they wish to use their ability, prompt them to guess which player is the Demon, and which player(s) are Minions. If incorrect, nothing happens and the game continues. If correct, declare that good wins.
Examples & Notes
- Optional rule: like the Juggler and the Gossip, the Storyteller may limit the number of players that make an Alsaahir guess to three players per day. Only use this optional rule if so many players are bluffing as the Alsaahir that the game slows down and ceases to be fun.

Seamstress
Once per game, at night, choose 2 players (not yourself): you learn if they are the same alignment.
Did you hear that stranger in the cashmere coat put the word on our young Belle? And she said yes? Well, that's nothing compared to what Harry and that juggler got up to at the fair! The things I could say if I was a tattletale... my, yes.
"Once per game, at night, choose 2 players (not yourself): you learn if they are the same alignment." The Seamstress learns whether 2 players are on the same team as each other. They only get this information once per game, so they had best choose wisely when and who. They may choose alive or dead players or even Travellers.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Seamstress. They either shake their head no or point at any two players except themself.
- If they shake their head no, nothing happens. Put the Seamstress to sleep.
- If they point at two players, either nod your head yes (to indicate these players have the same alignment) or shake your head no (to indicate these players do not have the same alignment). Put the Seamstress to sleep. The Seamstress loses their ability - mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet.

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
Cannibal
You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution.
I don’t like clowns. They taste funny.
"You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution." The Cannibal eats executed characters, gaining their ability. If a good player dies by execution, the Cannibal gains that player’s ability. If an evil player dies by execution, the Cannibal only thinks that they gain an ability, since the Cannibal is poisoned. The Storyteller may be lying to them. Each time a player dies by execution, the Cannibal loses the ability of the previous player. Executing a dead player won’t grant the Cannibal an ability. Executing a living player who doesn’t die won’t grant the Cannibal an ability. A player must be executed and die for the Cannibal to gain their ability. The Cannibal is not told which ability they have gained. They must figure that out for themselves. If the Cannibal has an “even if dead” ability, such as the Recluse, or an ability that implies it works while dead, such as the Ravenkeeper or Sweetheart, the Cannibal keeps that ability when they die, but loses their Cannibal ability.
How to Run
- If a good player dies by execution, mark them with the LUNCH reminder, and remove the Cannibal’s POISONED reminder if necessary. The Cannibal now has this good player’s ability (do not say which), and will wake at night when this good character would normally wake.
- If an evil player dies by execution, mark them with the LUNCH reminder and mark the Cannibal with the POISONED reminder. The Cannibal is poisoned. You may wake them when this evil character would normally wake, and pretend that they have a new ability.
Examples & Notes
- Pay attention to which character each evil player is bluffing as. If they are executed, then their bluffed ability is the best one to pretend that the Cannibal has gained.
Townsfolk
Sage
If the Demon kills you, you learn that it is 1 of 2 players.
These mountainous tomes guard the secret, I am sure of it! Twixt word and word, it lies in wait. More candles, boy! More ink! These notes may look arcane, but the infernal puzzle is revealing itself.
"If the Demon kills you, you learn that it is 1 of 2 players." The Sage knows nothing while alive, but learns the most important information of all at the moment of their death - who killed them. The Sage only gets this information when killed by a Demon attack. Being executed does not count.
How to Run
- If the Sage was killed by the Demon, wake the Sage. Point at two players, one who is the Demon that killed the Sage. Put the Sage to sleep.
Examples & Notes
- If the Sage dies early, you will probably want to show the Sage two alive players, which lets the evil team still have a slim chance of winning. If the Sage dies on the final night, feel free to show one alive and one dead player.
Townsfolk
Banshee
If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.
Gorm do shúile, dearg do ghruaig, ní bheidh sé i bhfad, is a mbeidh tú san uaigh.
"If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.” The Banshee becomes more powerful when dead, nominating and voting twice as much. When alive, the Banshee nominates and votes as normal. When dead, they may nominate twice per day, even though dead players may normally not nominate at all. When dead, they may vote for any nomination they wish and do not need a vote token to do so. They may vote twice for the same nomination. The Banshee only gains these powers if they were killed by the Demon. Dying by execution or to a non-Demon ability does not count. To vote twice, the Banshee player raises both hands when votes are counted. If the player is unable to do this due to a disability, the Storyteller can count their normal vote twice.
How to Run
- If the Banshee is killed by the Demon, place the HAS ABILITY reminder token next to the Banshee and say “The Banshee has awoken” or something similarly dramatic. The Banshee may nominate twice per day, but it is the player’s responsibility to remember how many times they have nominated. The Banshee may raise two hands when voting. When counting the votes, count each hand as a vote.
- If the Banshee is killed by the Demon but does not have their ability at that time or is killed by a non-Demon ability, then do not tell the group that the Banshee ability has been triggered. The Banshee may not nominate, and needs a vote token to vote, like a regular dead player.
Examples & Notes
- If all good players are dead, the game continues. Good can still win due to the Banshee being able to nominate.
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
- 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.
- 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.
Townsfolk
Pacifist
Executed good players might not die.
Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.
"Executed good players might not die." The Pacifist prevents good players from dying by execution. When a good player is executed, the Storyteller chooses whether they die or live. As always, when abilities like this function in obvious ways, the group is not told why something has happened, only what has happened. The group learns that an execution succeeded, but that the executed player did not die—that is all. If a player is executed and remains alive, that still counts as the execution for today. No other nominations may happen.
How to Run
- If a good character is executed, declare either that they die or they remain alive. (Do not say why.) Then, begin the night phase. (Whether the player lived or died, this was the one execution for the day.)
Examples & Notes
- Triggering the Pacifist ability once per game is usually about right. You can trigger it more if you feel it is appropriate. On rare occasions, to make the Pacifist look suspicious, you can never trigger it.
Outsider
Golem
You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die.
Golem help? Golem smash! Golem help.
"You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die." The Golem kills the player they nominate. When the Golem nominates a player, that player immediately dies. The nomination process continues. If the Golem nominates the Demon, nothing happens. The Storyteller doesn’t confirm or deny that the Golem nominated, and continues with the voting process as normal. The Storyteller may say “nothing happens” if clarity is asked for. After the Golem has nominated once, whether or not the nominee dies, the Golem may not nominate again this game. It is the player’s responsibility to refrain from nominating, not the Storyteller’s. Deliberately nominating when they shouldn’t is considered cheating.
How to Run
- If the Golem nominates a non-Demon, that player dies, then the vote continues as normal. Mark the Golem with the MAY NOT NOMINATE reminder.
- If the Golem nominates the Demon, the vote continues as normal. (Do not say why.) Mark the Golem with the MAY NOT NOMINATE reminder.
Examples & Notes
- If the Golem accidentally nominates when they shouldn’t, you can either accept or not accept the nomination. It is best to not accept the nomination—as long as you think that this won’t confirm that a Golem is in play. To keep things fair, also do this for players bluffing as the Golem, reminding them that the Golem cannot nominate more than once.
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
- 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.
Outsider
Hatter
If you died today or tonight, the Minion & Demon players may choose new Minion & Demon characters to be.
One Hat. Too Hat. Three Hat. Tea Hat. Fore Hat. Thrive Hat. Six Hat. Sticks Hat.
"If you died today or tonight, the Minion & Demon players may choose new Minion & Demon characters to be." The Hatter allows the evil players to change characters. Each player with a Minion or Demon character may choose to become any character of the same type as their current character. They may choose not to change characters. If a player becomes a new character, they gain the new ability, even if it was a "you start knowing" ability or a once per game ability that had already been used. Once a player has changed character, their previous character ability has no further effect on the game. If a player dies then becomes the Hatter, the evil players do not change characters tonight. Once a character has been chosen, a second player cannot choose the same character. If it is already in play, the player with that character must choose a new character.
How to Run
- If the Hatter dies, mark them with the TEA PARTY TONIGHT reminder.
- During that night, wake the Minions and Demon. Show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Hatter token. Each player either shakes their head no or points to another character of the same type as their current character. If a second player would end up with the same character as another player, shake your head no and gesture for them to choose again. Put them to sleep. Remove the TEA PARTY TONIGHT reminder. Change each player to the character they chose.
Examples & Notes
- Optional rule: if the Hatter dies, allow the Demon to become a Minion, and a Minion to become a Demon. This may cause some chaos among the evil team as they try to communicate silently at night about who wants to be the Demon.

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.

Witch
Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability.
Three drops of goat's blood. A lock of hair, torn in anger. The name is spoken, the shadow cast. Walk left foot first down that brambled path, and don't look back.
"Each night, choose a player: if they nominate tomorrow, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability." The Witch curses players, so that they die if they nominate. Each night, the Witch chooses a player to curse. That player dies if they nominate any player on the next day, although their nomination still counts. The Witch’s curse lasts only for one day, but the Witch may curse the same player again and again each night. As soon as just three players are left alive, the Witch’s curse is immediately removed, and the Witch acts no more.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Witch. They point at any player. Put the Witch to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the CURSED reminder.
- The next day, if the player marked CURSED makes a nomination, immediately declare that they die. (Nominations continue as normal.)
Minion
Fearmonger
Each night, choose a player: if you nominate & execute them, their team loses. All players know if you choose a new player.
Beware of gazing long into the Abyss, lest the Abyss also gaze into you.
"Each night, choose a player: if you nominate & execute them, their team loses. All players know if you choose a new player." The Fearmonger creates paranoia about who nominates whom. During the first night, when the Fearmonger selects a player, all players learn this. During other nights, each time the Fearmonger selects a new player, all players learn this. If the Fearmonger selects the same player as previously, the players learn nothing. The players only learn that the Fearmonger has acted, not which player was selected. If the Fearmonger nominates their chosen player, and that nomination results in their execution, the chosen player loses, their team loses, and the game ends. Only the currently chosen player is susceptible to the Fearmonger’s ability. Previously chosen players don’t count. If the chosen player is executed but does not die, the chosen player’s team still loses.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Fearmonger. They point at any player. Put the Fearmonger to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the FEAR reminder. If the Fearmonger chose a player who wasn’t already marked with the FEAR reminder, declare that “The Fearmonger has chosen a player.” (This informs the group that the Fearmonger is alive and has chosen a new player.)
- If the Fearmonger nominates the player marked FEAR, and that nomination results in their execution, declare that the game is over and which team has won.

Boomdandy
If you are executed, all but 3 players die. After a 10 to 1 countdown, the player with the most players pointing at them, dies.
Tick... Tick... Tick... TOCK.
"If you are executed, all but 3 players die. After a 10 to 1 countdown, the player with the most players pointing at them, dies." The Boomdandy explodes when executed, killing most other players. If the Boomdandy is executed, the Storyteller kills other players, one at a time, until only three are left alive. The Demon will be one of the remaining three players (otherwise, the game would be over). Afterward, there is no further nomination or execution today. Instead, the Storyteller counts down from ten and all players point at the player they want to die. When the countdown ends, the Storyteller counts the number of fingers pointed at each player. If it is a tie, the day ends (and evil probably wins due to the Demon killing that night). Even dead players who have no vote token may point. Players may change who they are pointing at up until the countdown ends, at which point their decision is final. The Boomdandy only explodes due to an execution. Deaths by other means, such as via a Golem or a Psychopath, don’t count. If the Boomdandy is executed but doesn’t die (due to a Devil’s Advocate etc.), they still explode. If a character can’t die, such as the Fool or the Sailor, the Storyteller may rule that four players remain alive after a Boomdandy explosion.
How to Run
- If the Boomdandy is executed, declare that the Boomdandy has exploded. Enter the circle, put your hand out towards the Boomdandy, and rotate around the circle. (Similar to running a vote.) When your hand reaches a living player, say “You live” or say “You die” as that player dies. When you have completed the circle, three players will be alive, including the Demon. Then, count down from ten. After you say “one”, ask all players to immediately freeze (to stay still) while you count the number of players who are pointing at each player. The player with the most fingers pointed at them, dies. This will end the game, since just two players are alive, so declare which team has won.
Examples & Notes
- Your countdown should be longer than ten seconds, and as slow, dramatic, or erratic as you like!
Demon
Kazali
Each night*, choose a player: they die. [You choose which players are which Minions. -? to +? Outsiders]
Gon(z)a7les6. Take cau8tun. The mech4an4ion is iNvert10d. E99ors insy6tum. Reco{7}fig.
"Each night*, choose a player: they die. [You choose which players are which Minions. -? to +? Outsiders]" The Kazali chooses their own Minions. If a Kazali is created mid game, the Kazali does not choose new Minion players. The Storyteller can give the Minions’ original good characters as bluffs to the Demon, since they are not in play. The Kazali acts at a time that is technically both during setup and during the first night. The Storyteller may keep the Kazali awake, or put the Kazali to sleep, when waking the Minions to tell them which Minion that they are. Only Minions that are on the script may be chosen. Duplicate Minion characters are not allowed.
How to Run
- While setting up the game, remove all Minion tokens and add Townsfolk or Outsider tokens.
- During the first night, wake the Kazali. The Kazali points at a player and a Minion on the character sheet. Replace their old character token with the Minion token, show them the “You Are” info token then the Minion character token, and give a thumbs down. Repeat until the normal number of Minions exist. Put the Kazali to sleep.
- Each night except the first, wake the Kazali. They point at any player. That player dies.
Examples & Notes
- Depending on the script, adding more than one Outsider can put the good team at a significant disadvantage.
Demon
Vigormortis
Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]
All doors are one door. All keys are one key. All cups are one cup, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I give shall never thirst, but the water shall be in him a well springing up into everlasting life.
"Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]" The Vigormortis kills their own Minions, but those Minions keep their ability. Every time the Vigormortis kills a Minion, they die but keep their ability for as long as the Vigormortis remains alive. The Witch, Cerenovus, and Pit-Hag still act each night. Somewhat like the No Dashii, the dead Minion’s closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk becomes poisoned, even if they are dead. If the Vigormortis dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those players become healthy again. One Townsfolk per Minion will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. The Storyteller chooses which of the two Townsfolk is poisoned. All Minions killed by the Vigormortis keep their ability and poison a Townsfolk, not just the most recent. If a dead Minion becomes a non-Minion character, they no longer poison a Townsfolk and have no ability. If a dead Minion becomes drunk or poisoned, they lose their ability until they become sober and healthy again.
How to Run
- While setting up the game, before putting the character tokens in the bag, remove one Outsider character token and add one Townsfolk character token. (If there are no Outsider tokens to remove, do not add a Townsfolk token.)
- Each night except the first, wake the Vigormortis. They point at any player. Put the Vigormortis to sleep. If the chosen player isn’t a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder.
- If the chosen player is a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder and a HAS ABILITY reminder. The closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk to the Minion becomes poisoned - mark them with a POISONED reminder.
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Al-Hadikhia
Each night*, you may choose 3 players (all players learn who): each silently chooses to live or die, but if all live, all die.
Alsukut min dhahab.
"Each night*, you may choose 3 players (all players learn who): each silently chooses to live or die, but if all live, all die." The Al-Hadikhia puts three players in a dilemma — who will choose to die, so that others can live? The Al-Hadikhia may choose three players per night. Everyone learns which three were chosen. Each player makes their choice before the next player is revealed. All players must be silent when the Al-Hadikhia acts at night. This period lasts from when the Storyteller first declares that a player has been chosen, until the Storyteller says that it ends. If the Al-Hadikhia chooses no one, no announcement is made and nobody dies to the Al-Hadikhia tonight. At night, the Storyteller asks players out loud if they choose to live. If they nod their head, they live. If they shake their head, they die. Players may be brought back to life this way. If all players choose to live, then they all die instead. If a player chose to die but did not die, they count as alive for this calculation.
How to Run
- Each night except the first, wake the Al-Hadikhia. They may point at three players. If they do, mark these players with the 1, 2 and 3 reminders, in the order the Al-Hadikhia chose. Put the Al-Hadikhia to sleep. Wake the player marked 1 and say “The Al-Hadikhia has chosen” then the name of the player, then “Do you choose to live?” They either nod or shake their head. Put them to sleep. If they chose to live, remove their shroud (if any), and if they choose to die, add a shroud. Repeat for players marked 2 then 3. If all three players are alive (none of them have a shroud) then add a shroud to all three. They die. Declare that the time of silence has ended.
- Each dawn, declare which players marked 1, 2 and 3 are alive and which are dead. Do this even if a player’s alive or dead status did not change during the night.
Examples & Notes
- You may need to remind all players to be silent as the Al-Hadikhia acts. This includes non-verbal noise. This prevents players signaling to others about whether they have chosen to live or die.
