    Noble

    You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil.


    Sarcasm is indeed the lowest form of wit. But speaking in response to your criticism, Sir, it is, nevertheless, a form of wit.

    "You start knowing 3 players, 1 and only 1 of which is evil." The Noble learns that one of three players is evil. The Noble learns their information on the first night only. If a Noble is created mid-game, the Noble learns their information on their first night. The Noble learns two good players and one evil player. They may not learn one good player and two evil players. They may not learn three evil players.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, mark two good players' character tokens with Noble KNOW reminders. Mark any evil player's character token with the third KNOW reminder.
    2. During the first night, wake the Noble. Point to all three players marked KNOW. Put the Noble to sleep.
  3. Townsfolk

    Librarian

    You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)


    Certainly madam, under normal circumstances, you may borrow the Codex Malificarium from the library vaults. However, you do not seem to be a member.

    "You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)" The Librarian learns that a particular Outsider character is in play, but not exactly which player it is. During the first night, the Librarian learns that one of two players is a specific Outsider. They learn this only once and then learn nothing more. The Drunk is an Outsider. If the Librarian learns that one of two players is the Drunk, they do not learn the Townsfolk that the Drunk's player thinks they are.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, put the Librarian's OUTSIDER reminder token by any Outsider character token, and put the Librarian's WRONG reminder token by any other character token.
    2. During the first night, wake the Librarian and point to the players marked OUTSIDER and WRONG. Show the character token marked OUTSIDER to the Librarian. Put the Librarian to sleep. Remove the Librarian's reminder tokens when convenient.
  4. Townsfolk

    Bounty Hunter

    You start knowing 1 evil player. If the player you know dies, you learn another evil player tonight. [1 Townsfolk is evil]


    Alone, I walk these streets, paved with the sick stench of corruption. Its thickness worms its way into my nostrils, unbidden, burning with revulsion. And anticipation. The illness of this wretched place grows each night. And I... I am the cure.

    "You start knowing 1 evil player. If the player you know dies, you learn another evil player tonight. [1 Townsfolk is evil]" The Bounty Hunter tracks down evil players, one at a time. The Bounty Hunter starts knowing one evil player. When that player dies, they learn another evil player. The Bounty Hunter only learns the evil player, not their character. If the Bounty Hunter is drunk or poisoned when they should learn a new player, the Storyteller may show them a good player. When the recently shown player dies, the Bounty Hunter learns a new player that night. The Bounty Hunter cannot learn the same evil player twice. If the Bounty Hunter is in the game at setup, one Townsfolk is evil. The Bounty Hunter may learn the evil Townsfolk.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, turn one Townsfolk character token upside down, to represent that they are evil. Mark one evil player with the KNOW reminder.
    2. During the first night, wake the Bounty Hunter. Point to the player marked KNOW. Put the Bounty Hunter to sleep.
    3. Each time the player marked KNOW dies, mark a new evil player with the KNOW reminder. That night, wake the Bounty Hunter, point to the player marked KNOW, then put the Bounty Hunter to sleep.
  5. Townsfolk

    Pixie

    You start knowing 1 in-play Townsfolk. If you were mad that you were this character, you gain their ability when they die.


    Round and round the garden, go. Little girls run to and fro. Little boys climb up the tree. Which of these should Pixie be? Ladies smile and go to town. Lords with axe chop forest down. What’s yours is mine. What’s mine, divine. Silly little Pixie, me.

    "You start knowing 1 in-play Townsfolk. If you were mad that you were this character, you gain their ability when they die." The Pixie pretends to be the same character as someone else. On the first night, the Pixie learns an in-play Townsfolk. The Storyteller chooses which Townsfolk this is. The Pixie does not learn which player is this character. If the Pixie player pretends that they are this Townsfolk, they gain the ability of this Townsfolk when the Townsfolk dies. They could have spoken loudly about being the character for one day, or pretended to be the character each day this game, or accused the Townsfolk of being a liar—the Storyteller is the judge of whether or not the player was convincing, by “being mad that they are this character”. When the Townsfolk player dies, the Pixie does not learn this, and is not told that they have gained a new ability. They may learn this has happened if they wake at night and start gaining information, or are prompted to choose players. If the player the Pixie learns about changes character then dies, the Pixie gains the ability of the Townsfolk the Pixie learnt about, not the new character.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, mark a Townsfolk character token with the Pixie’s MAD reminder. Wake the Pixie. Show the Pixie this Townsfolk character token. Put the Pixie to sleep.
    2. If the Townsfolk marked MAD dies, and you feel that the Pixie player has been sufficiently mad that they were this character, replace the MAD reminder with the HAS ABILITY reminder. The Pixie now has this Townsfolk’s ability, and will wake at night when this Townsfolk would normally wake.

    Balloonist

    Each night, you learn a player of a different character type than last night. [+0 or +1 Outsider]


    More heat! Higher! Higher! Più alto! Ahhh... it is so beautiful from up here, don't you agree? Can you see the children fishing by the river, under the willow? Can you see the glint of the sun on the circus tent-poles? What's this? An old man, alone, passed out in the vineyard? Less heat! Lower! Lower! Vai più in basso!

    "Each night, you learn a player of a different character type than last night. [+0 or +1 Outsider]" The Balloonist learns players of different character types. Each time the Balloonist learns a player, the player must have a different character type to the previously shown player. The Balloonist does not learn the character type of the player they learn. The shown player can be alive or dead. The shown player can be good or evil. If the Balloonist is drunk or poisoned, they may learn a character of the same type as the previously shown player. When the Balloonist becomes sober and healthy, they must learn a player of a different character type to the previously shown player. During setup, the Storyteller may choose to add an Outsider due to the Balloonist’s ability.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, you may add an Outsider.
    2. When preparing the first night, mark any player with the KNOW reminder. When preparing each night afterwards, mark a character of a different type than the current with the KNOW reminder.
    3. Each night, wake the Balloonist. Point to the player marked KNOW. Put the Balloonist to sleep.
  7. Townsfolk

    Villageidiot3

    Each night, choose a player: you learn their alignment. [+0 to +2 Village Idiots. 1 of the extras is drunk]


    장미는 파랗고, 제비꽃은 빨갛다네. 방금 말 일부러 거꾸로 한거야. 진짜야.

    "매일 밤, 플레이어 1명을 선택하세요. 그 플레이어의 성향을 알게 됩니다. [+0~+2 동네바보. 추가된 동네바보 중 1명은 취해 있습니다.]" 동네바보들은 플레이어의 성향을 알아내는 집단입니다. 취한 동네바보는 게임 세팅 때 이야기꾼이 정합니다. 플레이어 수와 상관없이 동네바보는 1명, 2명, 혹은 3명까지 있을 수 있습니다. 동네바보가 1명뿐이라면 그 플레이어는 취해 있지 않습니다. 취한 동네바보가 참 정보를 받을 수도 있습니다. 세팅 단계에서 동네바보가 추가될 때는 다른 마을주민을 대신합니다. 게임 도중 동네바보가 생기면 한 명만 생깁니다. 동네바보들은 한꺼번에 행동하지 않고, 한 명씩 따로 행동합니다. 멀쩡한 동네바보들이 모두 게임에서 사라져도, 남은 취한 동네바보는 계속 취한 상태입니다. 멀쩡한 동네바보가 다른 이유로 취하거나 중독되더라도, 원래 취한 동네바보는 그대로 취해 있습니다.

    How to Run

    1. 게임을 세팅할 때, 캐릭터 토큰을 주머니에 넣기 전에 마을주민 토큰 0개, 1개, 또는 2개를 동네바보 토큰으로 바꾸세요. 첫날 밤을 준비할 때 동네바보 1명에게 취함 알림을 표시하세요.
    2. 매일 밤, 동네바보를 한 명 깨우세요. 그 플레이어는 플레이어 1명을 가리킵니다. 엄지를 위나 아래로 보여주고 다시 재우세요. 모든 동네바보가 행동할 때까지 반복합니다.

    Oracle

    Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil.


    Only the chosen may gaze beyond the veil. The dead are restless, and they point in silence toward the icy north.

    "Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil." The Oracle knows how many dead players are evil. Because the Oracle acts after the Demon attacks each night, the Oracle’s info refers to the players that are dead when dawn breaks and all players open their eyes. The Oracle detects dead Minions and Demons, but also any other players that are evil, such as evil Travellers, or Townsfolk and Outsiders that have been turned evil. When counting the number of dead players, remember to count Townsfolk and Outsider tokens that are upside-down, which means their alignment is the opposite of what is printed.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Oracle. Show fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of dead evil players. Then, put the Oracle to sleep.
  9. Townsfolk

    Acrobat

    Each night*, choose a player: if they are or become drunk or poisoned tonight, you die.


    Welcome, one and all, to the greatest show on earth.

    "Each night*, choose a player: if they are or become drunk or poisoned tonight, you die." The Acrobat dies when they find a drunk or poisoned player. Each night except the first, the Acrobat chooses a player. If the chosen player is sober and healthy, nothing happens. If the player is drunk or poisoned, the Acrobat dies. If the Acrobat is drunk or poisoned, they cannot die to their own ability. The Acrobat may choose any player, dead or alive, even themself. If the chosen player is sober and healthy at the time the Acrobat picks, but becomes drunk or poisoned later in the night, the Acrobat dies. The Acrobat does not learn if the player they selected was drunk, or poisoned, or both. The Drunk registers as drunk to the Acrobat.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Acrobat. They point to a player. Put the Acrobat to sleep.
    2. If the player the Acrobat pointed to is drunk or poisoned, or becomes drunk or poisoned at any time tonight, the Acrobat dies.
  10. Townsfolk

    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

    1. 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.
  11. Townsfolk

    Nightwatchman

    Once per game, at night, choose a player: they learn you are the Nightwatchman.


    The night is cold and lonely, but I have the moon, the stars, the crisp wind and the soft thud of leather boots on cobbled stone for company. Yonder, candlelight flickers behind a murky window...

    "Once per game, at night, choose a player: they learn you are the Nightwatchman." The Nightwatchman is known by one player. At night, the Nightwatchman chooses a player. This player wakes, and learns which player the Nightwatchman is. The Nightwatchman and their chosen player do not make eye contact. They wake separately. The Nightwatchman player chooses which night to act.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Nightwatchman. The Nightwatchman either shakes their head or points at any player. Put the Nightwatchman to sleep.
    2. If the Nightwatchman pointed at a player, wake them and show them the Nightwatchman token, then point to the Nightwatchman player. Put the chosen player to sleep. The Nightwatchman loses their ability – mark them with a NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet.
  12. Townsfolk

    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

    1. Each night, wake the Seamstress. They either shake their head no or point at any two players except themself.
    2. If they shake their head no, nothing happens. Put the Seamstress to sleep.
    3. 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.
  13. Townsfolk

    Artist

    Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question.


    Mon Dieu! C'est lumineux! My work, she is... how you say... Magnifique! Dieu est révélé! Oui.

    "Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question." The Artist may ask any 1 question, and get an honest answer. The question may deal with anything at all, phrased in any way they want. The Storyteller honestly answers “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.” It is up to the Artist to talk with the Storyteller, not the other way around. This isn’t a public conversation, and the group can’t listen in. It’s private.

    How to Run

    1. During any day, the Artist can request a private chat with you. Take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. They will ask you a question. Whisper “Yes,” “No,” or “I don’t know,” to them, or if you cannot answer in one of these ways, prompt the Artist to ask again in a different way. The Artist loses their ability - mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Like the Savant, evil players bluffing as the Artist may request a private chat with you and pretend to ask a question. To help them bluff, you can pretend to give an answer by nodding or shaking your head.
  14. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
  15. Outsider

    Drunk

    You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not.


    I’m only a hic social drinker, my dear. Admittedly, I am a heavy burp socializer.

    "You do not know you are the Drunk. You think you are a Townsfolk character, but you are not." The Drunk player thinks that they are a Townsfolk, and has no idea that they are actually the Drunk. During setup, the Drunk's token does not go in the bag. Instead, a Townsfolk character token goes in the bag, and the player who draws that token is secretly the Drunk for the whole game. The Storyteller knows. The player does not. The Drunk has no ability. Whenever their Townsfolk ability would affect the game in some way, it doesn't. However, the Storyteller pretends that the player is the Townsfolk they think they are. If that character would wake at night, the Drunk wakes to act as if they are that Townsfolk. If that Townsfolk would gain information, the Storyteller may give them false information instead—and the Storyteller is encouraged to do so.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, remove the Drunk token and add a Townsfolk character token. Add the Drunk's IS THE DRUNK reminder token to the Grimoire. Put the swapped Townsfolk character token in the bag, not the Drunk character token.
    2. While preparing the first night, put the Drunk's IS THE DRUNK reminder token by any Townsfolk character token, changing that player's character to the Drunk. They are now an Outsider, and do not have the ability of this Townsfolk character. (But they think they do.)
    3. During the game, act as if the Drunk is actually this Townsfolk character. (If that character would wake to act at night, the Drunk wakes to act. If their ability would give them information, you can give false information to them if you wish. See "Drunkenness and Poisoning" in the rulebook.)
  16. Outsider

    Sweetheart

    When you die, 1 player is drunk from now on.


    I will never forget her. Never.

    "When you die, 1 player is drunk from now on." The Sweetheart, when they die, causes someone to be drunk for the rest of the game. The Storyteller chooses which player becomes drunk. This ability works while the Sweetheart is dead.

    How to Run

    1. If the Sweetheart dies, you choose any one player to become drunk - mark this player with the DRUNK reminder. The Sweetheart does not lose this ability when dead.

    Examples & Notes

    • You will almost always want to make a Townsfolk drunk, which will hurt the good team, but if evil is winning quite convincingly, you can make an Outsider, Minion, or even the Demon drunk.
  17. Outsider

    Barber

    If you died today or tonight, the Demon may choose 2 players (not another Demon) to swap characters.


    Did you know that barbery and surgery were once the same profession? No? Well, now you do.

    "If you died today or tonight, the Demon may choose 2 players (not another Demon) to swap characters." The Barber allows the Demon to swap any 2 player's characters. The players’ alignments stay the same when they swap characters. Each player learns which character they become. The Demon may choose not to swap players. 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 the original character already used. If there is more than one living Demon, the Storyteller chooses which Demon makes the swap. The Demon may choose themself to swap. The Demon may not choose another Demon player to swap. If a player dies then becomes the Barber, the Demon may not swap two players’ characters tonight.

    How to Run

    1. If the Barber dies, mark them with the HAIRCUTS TONIGHT reminder.
    2. During that night, wake the Demon. Show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Barber token. The Demon either shakes their head no or points to two players. Put the Demon to sleep. Remove the HAIRCUTS TONIGHT reminder.
    3. If the Demon pointed to two players, swap the character tokens of the chosen players. One at a time, wake each swapped player, show them the YOU ARE info token and their new character token, then put them to sleep. If a player’s alignment does not match the color of their character token, turn it upside-down.

    Examples & Notes

    • If a good player becomes a Minion or Demon, or an evil player becomes a Townsfolk or Outsider, you may wish to remind them that their alignment has not changed.
  18. Outsider

    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

    1. While preparing the first night, mark any player with the Puzzlemaster’s DRUNK reminder. This player is drunk.
    2. 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.
  19. Minion

    Poisoner

    Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day.


    Add compound Alpha to compound Beta... NOT TOO MUCH!

    "Each night, choose a player: they are poisoned tonight and tomorrow day." The Poisoner secretly disrupts character abilities. Each night, the Poisoner chooses someone to poison for that night and the entire next day. A poisoned player has no ability, but the Storyteller pretends they do. They do not affect the game in any real way. However, to keep up the illusion that the poisoned player is not poisoned, the Storyteller wakes them at the appropriate time and goes through the motions as if they were not poisoned. If their ability gives them information, the Storyteller may give them false information. If a poisoned player uses a "once per game" ability while poisoned, they cannot use their ability again.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Poisoner. They point at any player. The chosen player becomes poisoned—put the POISONED reminder token by the chosen player's character token. Put the Poisoner to sleep. (This poisoned player wakes and acts normally. They have no ability, but they think they do. If their ability would give them information, you can give false information to them if you wish. See “Drunkenness and Poisoning” in the rulebook.)
    2. Each dusk, the poisoned player becomes healthy—remove their POISONED reminder.
  20. Minion

    Assassin

    Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not.


    ...

    "Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die, even if for some reason they could not." The Assassin kills who the Demon cannot. Once per game at night, the Assassin can kill a player. This player dies, even if they are protected from death in any way, such as from an ability. The Assassin ability is affected by drunkenness and poisoning, as normal. If the Assassin attacks the Goon, the Goon dies and turns evil.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Assassin. They either shake their head no or point at any player. Put the Assassin to sleep.
    2. If the Assassin chose a player, that player dies— mark them with the DEAD reminder. This cannot be prevented in any way (except if the Assassin doesn’t have their ability, such as if they’re drunk or poisoned). The Assassin loses their ability—mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet. (The Assassin won’t wake again.)
  21. Minion

    Widow

    On your 1st night, look at the Grimoire & choose a player: they are poisoned. 1 good player knows a Widow is in play.


    More wine? Château d’Ergot ’07 is a very special vintage. My yes, very special indeed.

    "On your 1st night, look at the Grimoire & choose a player: they are poisoned. 1 good player knows a Widow is in play." The Widow sees the Grimoire and poisons a character of their choice. The Widow acts on their first night only, poisoning one player. The player that the Widow poisons is poisoned until the Widow dies. On the same night that the Widow acts, one good player learns that the Widow is in play, but not which player is the Widow, and not which player is poisoned.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, mark a good player with the KNOW reminder.
    2. On the first night, wake the Widow and show them the Grimoire for as long as they need. The Widow points to a character token in the Grimoire. Mark them with a POISONED reminder. They are poisoned. Put the Widow to sleep.
    3. Wake the player marked KNOW. Show them the Widow character token. Put that good player to sleep.
  22. Minion

    Xaan

    On night X, all Townsfolk are poisoned until dusk. [X Outsiders]


    Down they fall. One by one. By two, by three, by five.

    "On night X, all Townsfolk are poisoned until dusk. [X Outsiders]" The Xaan poisons all Townsfolk. The Xaan poisons all Townsfolk players for one night then one day. The night that this happens equals the number of Outsiders in play. For example, if there are 2 Outsiders, the Xaan poisons on night 2. There can be any number of Outsiders in play, but usually 1 to 4. This can be the normal number of Outsiders if the Xaan was not in play, or something different. This overrides other characters that add or remove Outsiders, such as the Baron. If the number of Outsiders changes during the game, the Xaan poisons on the night corresponding to the number of Outsiders during setup. The Xaan needs to be alive in order to poison.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add or remove any number of Outsider tokens, including zero. Remove any unnecessary Xaan reminders.
    2. On the 1st night, add the NIGHT 1 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the 2nd night, add the NIGHT 2 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the 3rd night, add the NIGHT 3 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the night that equals the number of Outsiders in play when the game began, add the X reminder to the Grimoire, and remove it the following dusk.
    3. When the X reminder is in the Grimoire, all Townsfolk players are poisoned.
  23. Minion

    Marionette

    You think you are a good character, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are. [You neighbor the Demon]


    Words, words. They're all we have to go on.

    "You think you are a good character, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are. [You neighbor the Demon]" The Marionette doesn't know that they are a Minion. The Marionette draws either a Townsfolk or an Outsider token from the bag, but is secretly the Marionette. The Marionette neighbors the Demon. There are no players sitting in between the Marionette and the Demon. The Demon knows which player is the Marionette. On the first night, the Marionette does not wake to learn the other evil players, and the other Minions do not learn the Marionette. The good ability that the Marionette thinks they have doesn’t work, but the Storyteller pretends it does. It is just as if this player is the Drunk. The Marionette registers as evil, and as a Minion.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting tokens in the bag, remove the Marionette token and add any Townsfolk token.
    2. If there are three Minions in play, remove another Minion token and add another Townsfolk token. During the first night, swap a good player’s character token with a not-in-play Minion character token. Wake this player, show them the YOU ARE info token then their Minion character token, then the YOU ARE info token then a thumbs down, then put them to sleep. This player is now an evil Minion. (This ensures that only one Minion token is in the bag, so at least one good player will neighbor the Demon.)
    3. During the first night, mark a good player neighboring the Demon with the IS THE MARIONETTE reminder. Wake the Demon. Point to the player marked IS THE MARIONETTE and show the Marionette character token. Put the Demon to sleep.
    4. Treat the Marionette as if they were drunk. They wake when their good character would wake, may get false information, do not wake during the Minion Info step etc.

    Summoner

    You get 3 bluffs. On the 3rd night, choose a player: they become an evil Demon of your choice. [No Demon]


    Hail the guardians of the north; by my intellect, thou art cut. Hail the guardians of the east; by my will, thou art dominated. Hail the guardians of the south; by that which lies beyond, the mystery is revealed. Hail the guardians of the west; a shield in the darkness.

    "You get 3 bluffs. On the 3rd night, choose a player: they become an evil Demon of your choice. [No Demon]" The Summoner creates a Demon. The Summoner may choose any player to become the Demon, even themselves. The new Demon does not learn which players are Minions, or vice versa. The evil players will need to talk amongst themselves to figure this out. Even though there is no Demon in play for two days, the game does not end. However, if the Summoner becomes unable to create a Demon (due to dying, becoming drunk on night 3 etc.) good wins. The newly created Demon acts on the same night that it is created.

    How to Run

    1. During the setup phase, remove the Demon and add a Townsfolk.
    2. When preparing the first night, put the Summoner’s NIGHT 1 reminder by the Summoner. When preparing the second night, put the Summoner’s NIGHT 2 reminder by the Summoner. When preparing the third night, put the Summoner’s NIGHT 3 reminder by the Summoner.
    3. During the first night, show the Summoner 3 not-in-play characters as bluffs.
    4. During the night, if the Summoner has a NIGHT 3 reminder, wake the Summoner. They point at a player, and to a Demon icon on the character sheet. Put the Summoner to sleep. Wake the chosen player. Show the YOU ARE info token, then the Demon token. Show the YOU ARE info token, then give a thumbs down. Replace their character token with the Demon token and put the new Demon to sleep.

    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.

    Djinn

    Use the Djinn's special rule. All players know what it is.


    نحن لسنا هنا. انت لست حقيقي. كل شيء هو وهم. أسئلتك هي جبل نار في يوم صافٍ.

    "Use the Djinn's special rule. All players know what it is." Add the Djinn to all games with a jinx icon on the script. The Djinn resolves jinxes by creating a unique rule. When creating a character list using the Script Tool, some character combinations will be marked as unusual. These two characters are jinxed—they have abilities that clash or contradict each other in some way. The Djinn creates a special rule that allows these characters to work well together. Some jinxed characters even work better with the Djinn in play! The Djinn’s special rule is described by the Script Tool online, and is printed out automatically when you create a script with a character combination that is jinxed. There are many different Djinn special rules. Each is tailored to a specific pair of jinxed characters. If there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, even if there are no jinxed characters in play, the Storyteller tells all players what the Djinn’s special rule is at the start of the game. The Djinn may have several special rules at once. If there are multiple pairs of jinxed characters on the character sheet, the players learn all the Djinn’s special rules.

    How to Run

    1. At the start of the game, if there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, declare that the Djinn is in play and inform the group of all Djinn special rules for this game. (Do this even if there are no jinxed characters in play.)
    2. Follow the Djinn instructions as listed on the Script Tool printout.
