Balance

Full Script

Fearless Dave

Notes

This script has undergone tons of revisions and I am finally happy with what I have created. As I told some of my players I consider this Balance_Final_2.0. We have extensively play tested this in our Orlando area and at the Clocktower Con. A bit about the script and some fun interactions. The poisoner, drunk, and evil townsfolk can subvert confirmation chains and it is up to the players to determine if they can 100% trust their information. I encourage storytellers to think of all the fun combinations they can make with drunk / poison / evil town!
