The Witching Hour

Full Script

Tomm

Notes

A script designed for local & online group to highlight the Summoner whilst still keeping as many worlds as possible. It's very BMR styled where deaths are information, but has other bits of information sprinkled in so that it's more constrained in terms of the death rate. Sailor & LLeech are the only two ways for someone to not die by execution. This is still being considered for changes, but overall I'm happy with it. The Sailor not getting executed means they will never be executed again, making them a Townsfolk if they get to Final 3 as they will not be a viable Demon Candidate. An issue with this does mean that the Sailor dying at all rules out them being a Lleech and hard confirms this as good. We as a group haven't decided if this is a bad thing yet, but if this ever gets changed we'd likely drop Harpy for DA and remove Yaggababble for some other Demon as it works less well with the Summoner. We might also throw out a less fun TF for a Tea Lady or Pacifist if this happens.
