Notes

This script was originally conceived by the idea of "If everyone has their eyes closed, the Typhon line can simply vote". Changelog: 1.2->1.3: -Acrobat +Monk Acrobat dying confirms that it's not a Xaan night which is pretty busted. 1.1 -> 1.2: -Hatter +Barber -Marionette +Kazali Decided to stick to a 13/4/4/4 format for the script. Marionette has issues and I don't particularly like the alternatives. I see the argument for 13/4/5/3 instead but I think the extra Demon types still gives room for the evil team to build worlds without all minions in play. 1.0 -> 1.1: -Empath +Cannibal -Barber +Hatter -Assassin +Harpy +Thief

Townsfolk

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

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.
During the first night, wake the Noble. Point to all three players marked KNOW. Put the Noble to sleep.

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

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.
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.

Townsfolk

Fortune Teller

Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you.

I sense great evil in your soul! But... that could just be your perfume. I am allergic to Elderberry.

"Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you." The Fortune Teller detects who the Demon is, but sometimes thinks good players are Demons. Each night, the Fortune Teller chooses two players and learns if at least one of them is a Demon. They do not learn which of them is a Demon, just that one of them is. If neither is the Demon, they learn this instead. Unfortunately, one player, called the Red Herring, will register as a Demon to the Fortune Teller if chosen. The Red Herring is the same player throughout the entire game. This player may be any good player, even the Fortune Teller themself, and the Fortune Teller does not know which player it is. The Fortune Teller may choose any two players—alive or dead, or even themself. If they choose a dead Demon, then the Fortune Teller still receives a nod.

How to Run

While preparing the first night, put the Fortune Teller's RED HERRING reminder token by any good character token, marking that player as the Red Herring.
Each night, wake the Fortune Teller. The Fortune Teller points at any two players. If either chosen player is a Demon or the Red Herring, nod your head yes. Otherwise, shake your head no. Put the Fortune Teller to sleep.
In smaller games, making the Fortune Teller their own Red Herring is sometimes advised, as the Fortune Teller gets more information that way.

Townsfolk

Town Crier

Each night*, you learn if a Minion nominated today.

Hear ye! Hear ye! Witchcraft in the labyrinth! Genius savant reveals all! Town in danger! Hear Ye!

"Each night*, you learn if a Minion nominated today." The Town Crier knows when Minions nominate. Each night, the Town Crier learns either a “yes” or a “no”. They do not learn which players are Minions or how many Minions made nominations, just whether or not any Minions made nominations today.

How to Run

Each dawn, mark the Town Crier with the MINIONS NOT NOMINATED reminder, and remove the MINION NOMINATED reminder, if any.
Each day, if any Minion makes a nomination, replace the MINIONS NOT NOMINATED reminder with the MINION NOMINATED reminder.
Each night except the first, wake the Town Crier. If the Town Crier is marked MINIONS NOT NOMINATED, shake your head no. If the Town Crier is marked MINION NOMINATED, nod your head yes. Then, put the Town Crier to sleep. Remove the MINION NOMINATED reminder, if any.

Examples & Notes

If you forget whether a Minion made a nomination or not, wake each Minion at night and ask by showing them the DID YOU NOMINATE TODAY? info token. They must answer honestly, then go to sleep.

Townsfolk

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

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.

Townsfolk

Monk

Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight.

'Tis an ill and deathly wind that blows tonight. Come, my brother, take shelter in the abbey while the storm rages. By my word, or by my life, you will be safe.

"Each night*, choose a player (not yourself): they are safe from the Demon tonight." The Monk protects other players from the Demon. Each night except the first, the Monk may choose to protect any player except themself. If the Demon attacks a player who has been protected by the Monk, then that player does not die. The Demon does not get to attack another player—there is simply no death tonight. The Monk does not protect against the Demon nominating and executing someone.

How to Run

Each night except the first, wake the Monk. The Monk points at any player except themself. (If the Monk points at themself, shake your head no and prompt them to point at another player.) Put the Monk to sleep. Put the Monk's SAFE reminder token by the chosen player's character token.
If the Demon attacks the player marked SAFE, the player remains alive. (Do not mark them with the Demon's DEAD reminder token or add a shroud as you normally would.) At dawn, declare that no one died at night. (Do not say why.)
At dawn, remove the SAFE reminder token.
In other editions, Demons may have abilities other than killing. The Monk's protection also prevents all other harmful effects of the Demon's ability, such as poisoning or turning the protected player evil.

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

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.

Townsfolk

Philosopher

Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk.

If anything is real, beer is real. Drink, for tomorrow we may die.

"Once per game, at night, choose a good character: gain that ability. If this character is in play, they are drunk." The Philosopher has no ability until they decide which character they want to emulate. They can do this once per game. When they do so, they gain that character’s ability. They do not become that character. They may want to wait a while to choose. If the Philosopher chooses a character that is already in play, the player of that character becomes drunk. If the Philosopher then dies or becomes drunk or poisoned, the player they are making drunk becomes sober again. If the Philosopher chose a character that was not in play at the time but is in play now, that character is drunk. If the Philosopher gains an ability that works at night, they wake when that character would wake. If this ability is used on the first night only, they use it tonight. If the Philosopher regains their ability via the Bone Collector, or uses their ability twice via the Barista, the Philosopher may choose a new ability, or the same ability as before. If the Philosopher’s ability works while dead, such as the Klutz’s, it works if the Philosopher is dead.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Philosopher. They either shake their head no or point at any Townsfolk icon or any Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Philosopher to sleep.
If they pointed to an icon of a character not in play, swap the Philosopher token with the chosen character token and mark them with the IS THE PHILOSOPHER reminder.
If they pointed to an icon of a character in play, the player of the chosen character becomes drunk - mark them with the DRUNK reminder. (You can now use the duplicated character’s reminders for the Philosopher). If the Philosopher dies, the player made drunk by the Philosopher becomes sober - remove the DRUNK reminder.

Townsfolk

Soldier

You are safe from the Demon.

As David said to Goliath, as Theseus said to the Minotaur, as Arjuna said to Bhagadatta... No.

"You are safe from the Demon." The Soldier can not be killed by the Demon. The Soldier cannot die from the Demon's ability. So, if the Imp attacks the Soldier at night, nothing happens. Nobody dies. The Imp does not get to choose another player to attack instead. The Soldier can still die by execution, even if the nominator was the Demon. The Soldier is protected from the Demon's ability to kill, not the actions of the Demon player.

How to Run

During the night, if the Demon attacks the Soldier, the Soldier remains alive. (At dawn, declare that no one died at night.)
In other editions, Demons may have abilities other than killing. The Soldier is also protected from all other harmful effects of the Demon's ability, such as poisoning or turning the Soldier evil.

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

Ravenkeeper

If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character.

My birds will avenge me! Fly! Fly, my sweet and dutiful pets! To the manor and to the river! To the alleys and to the salons! Fly!

"If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character." If the Ravenkeeper dies at night, they get to learn one player's character. The Ravenkeeper is woken on the night that they die, and chooses a player immediately. The Ravenkeeper may choose a dead player if they wish.

How to Run

If the Ravenkeeper died tonight, wake them. They point at any player. Show the chosen player's character token to the Ravenkeeper. Put the Ravenkeeper to sleep.
We advise you to discourage or even ban players from talking about what they are doing at night as they are doing it.

Townsfolk

Mayor

If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead.

We must put our differences aside, and cease this senseless killing. We are all taxpayers after all. Well, most of us.

"If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead." The Mayor can win by peaceful means on the final day. To survive, the Mayor sometimes "accidentally" gets someone else killed. If the Mayor is attacked and would die, the Storyteller may choose that a different player dies. Nobody learns how they died at night, just that they died. If there are just three players alive at the end of the day, and no execution occurred that day, then the game ends and good wins. Travellers count as players for the Mayor's victory, so must be exiled first. Remember that exiles are not executions. Fabled don't count as players for the Mayor's victory, as the Storyteller isn't a player. If the Demon attacks the Mayor, and the Storyteller instead chooses a dead player, the Soldier, or a player protected by the Monk, that player does not die tonight.

How to Run

During the night, if the Mayor would die, you choose if the Mayor actually dies, or if the Mayor remains alive and another character dies instead—put the Demon's DEAD reminder token by that character token instead of the Mayor, and put a shroud on that character token instead of the Mayor.
At dawn, declare that the player marked DEAD died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
At dusk, if exactly three players are alive and no player was executed today, declare that the game ends and good wins.

Examples & Notes

We recommend you keep the Mayor alive until the final day, since it is most fun for the players that way. On rare occasions, if the group is overwhelmingly convinced early in the game that the Mayor is the Mayor, let the Mayor die so that evil has a chance to win.
In TROUBLE BREWING, the Mayor’s phrase “your team wins” will always mean “good wins” because the Mayor is always good. In other editions, an evil Mayor means “evil wins” instead.

Outsider

Butler

Each night, choose a player (not yourself): tomorrow, you may only vote if they are voting too.

Yes, sir... No, sir... Certainly, sir.

"Each night, choose a player (not yourself): tomorrow, you may only vote if they are voting too." The Butler may only vote when their Master (another player) votes. Each night, the Butler chooses a player to be their Master. This may be the same player as last night or a different one. If the Master has their hand raised to vote, or if the Master's vote has already been counted, the Butler may raise their hand to vote. If the Master has their hand down, signaling that they are not voting, or if the Master lowers their hand before their vote is tallied, the Butler must lower their hand too. It is not the Storyteller's responsibility to monitor the Butler. They're responsible for their own voting. Deliberately voting when they shouldn't is considered cheating. Because exiles are never affected by abilities, the Butler can vote freely for an exile. Dead players may only raise their hand to vote if they have a vote token. If the Butler chooses a dead player as their Master, this still applies. The Butler is never forced to vote. The Butler's vote may be tallied by the Storyteller before or after their Master's. Seating position is not important.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Butler. They point at any player. Mark this player with the MASTER reminder token. Put the Butler to sleep.
During a nomination, the Butler may only have their hand raised to vote if the Master has their hand raised to vote or if the Master's vote has already been counted.
If the Butler accidentally votes illegally, tally the Butler's vote anyway. If you don't, the total will be less than it should be, and all players will know which player is the Butler, which is unfair for the evil team. Mistakes happen. Just play on and have a private chat later.

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

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.

Outsider

Klutz

When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses.

Oops.

"When you learn that you died, publicly choose 1 alive player: if they are evil, your team loses." The Klutz might accidentally lose the game for their team, unless they are clever. When the Klutz dies, they must declare a player. They may take a few minutes to do so—after all, it’s a big decision, and other players may give advice on who to choose, but it is always the Klutz’s decision. If they choose an evil player, the game ends immediately and the good team loses. If they choose a good player, nothing happens and the game continues. It is not the Storyteller’s responsibility to prompt the Klutz to declare they are the Klutz and choose a player. The Klutz must do this shortly after they learn that they are dead. Deliberately not doing so is considered cheating.

How to Run

When the Klutz player is declared dead, they must declare that they are the Klutz and then point at any player. (Give them time.) If they choose an evil player, the game ends and the evil team wins. If they choose a good player, the game continues.
In the strange situation where the Klutz is evil and chooses an evil player, then the game ends and the good team wins instead.

Examples & Notes

If the Klutz player 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

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

If the Barber dies, mark them with the HAIRCUTS TONIGHT reminder.
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.
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.

Minion

Harpy

Each night, choose 2 players: tomorrow, the 1st player is mad that the 2nd is evil, or one or both might die.

So fair a day I never did see, nor so fowl a presence hanging over me.

"Each night, choose 2 players: tomorrow, the 1st player is mad that the 2nd is evil, or one or both might die." The Harpy creates discord and distrust between good players. At night, the Harpy player chooses one player at a time, not two at once. A player chosen by the Harpy is affected by the ability until the next Harpy choice. If the Storyteller decides to kill players with the Harpy ability, they do not need to kill both. The Storyteller can decide to kill only one, or none. The Harpy can choose a dead player. If so, the Storyteller can kill just the living player, since dead players can not die again. The order of deaths due to the Harpy ability can be chosen by the Storyteller, should that be important.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Harpy. The Harpy points to one player, then another player. Mark the first player with the MAD reminder and the second player with the 2ND reminder. Put the Harpy to sleep. Wake the player marked MAD. Show the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token then the Harpy token, then point to the player marked 2ND. Put the player marked “Mad” to sleep.
MAD
2ND

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

While preparing the first night, mark a good player with the KNOW reminder.
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.
Wake the player marked KNOW. Show them the Widow character token. Put that good player to sleep.

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

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.
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.
When the X reminder is in the Grimoire, all Townsfolk players are poisoned.

Minion

Organ Grinder

All players keep their eyes closed when voting and the vote tally is secret. Each night, choose if you are drunk until dusk.

Round and round the handles go. The more you dance the less you know.

"All players keep their eyes closed when voting and the vote tally is secret. Each night, choose if you are drunk until dusk." The Organ Grinder makes voting secret. When a player is nominated, players vote with eyes closed. The Storyteller does not count the votes out loud, and does not reveal how many players voted once voting is complete. The Storyteller doesn’t reveal which player is “about to die”. After nominations have closed, the Storyteller reveals which player is executed, as normal. Dead players may vote once if they have a vote token. Their vote token is removed at the end of the day instead of after the vote. If the Organ Grinder is drunk, the vote happens with eyes open, as normal. The Storyteller makes no comment as to whether the Organ Grinder is dead or alive. That night, the Organ Grinder chooses to become sober or drunk again.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Organ Grinder. The Organ Grinder either nods or shakes their head. If they nod their head, mark them with the DRUNK reminder. Put the Organ Grinder to sleep.
When a player has been nominated and a vote is just about to begin, and the Organ Grinder is sober, ask all players to close their eyes. If they ask why, tell them that an Organ Grinder is in play. When counting votes, do so silently. Afterwards, do not reveal how many players voted, nor if the nominee is “about to die”. If there were enough votes to execute the nominee, mark them with the ABOUT TO DIE reminder. Ask players to open their eyes, and if there are any more nominations.
When nominations are closed, declare that the player marked ABOUT TO DIE, is executed.
Each dusk, remove the DRUNK reminder.

Examples & Notes

Players are not allowed to use other methods to determine who is voting, such as touch or sound. It is a secret.

Demon

Lil' Monsta

Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & "is the Demon". Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]

Step 1: Be cute. Step 2: World domination. Step 3: Bweakfast.

"Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & "is the Demon". Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]" Lil’ Monsta isn’t a player, and is instead babysat by a Minion. Each night, all Minions wake together and decide amongst themselves who babysits the Lil’ Monsta. The Minions decide by pointing to a player, or otherwise make it obvious they have reached a decision. If they can not reach a unanimous decision, the Storyteller decides. If the Storyteller thinks it is funny, they may give this player the Lil’ Monsta token, which they will need to hide in a pocket, under their hat, or somewhere appropriate. Players may not request that others empty their pockets. The player with the Lil’ Monsta token “is the Demon”. Good wins if they die. They register as a Demon for characters like the Fortune Teller etc. If a good player babysits Lil’ Monsta, they “are the Demon” but they remain good. A dead player babysitting Lil’ Monsta ends the game because the Demon “is dead”. Minions babysitting Lil’ Monsta keep their Minion ability. Lil’ Monsta isn’t a player, so can’t be drunk or poisoned.

How to Run

During setup, remove Lil’ Monsta and add a Minion token. On the first night, skip the MINION INFO and DEMON INFO steps.
Each night, wake all Minions. The majority will (eventually) point to one player. If they can’t decide, choose a player. (Give this player the Lil’ Monsta token and wait for them to hide it, if you want!) Mark them with the IS THE DEMON reminder token. Put all Minions to sleep. Then, if it is not the first night, a player might die – mark them with a DEAD reminder and a shroud.
The player marked IS THE DEMON registers as the Demon. If they die, declare that the game is over and good has won.

Examples & Notes

You may need to kill a Minion or two at night using the Lil’ Monsta’s ability. On the final day, it would be unfair for the good team to have 2 or more Minions alive, since either Minions could have been chosen to babysit Lil’ Monsta without any way for the good team to know which. Avoid this, and make the game fairer for the good team by killing Minions so that only 1 remains on the final day.

Demon

Imp

Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp.

We must keep our wits sharp and our sword sharper. Evil walks among us, and will stop at nothing to destroy us good, simple folk, bringing our fine town to ruin. Trust no-one. But, if you must trust someone, trust me.

"Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you kill yourself this way, a Minion becomes the Imp." The Imp kills a player each night, and can make copies of itself... for a terrible price. On each night except the first, the Imp chooses a player to kill. Because most characters act after the Demon, that player will probably not get to use their ability tonight. The Imp, because they're a Demon, knows which players are their Minions, and knows three not-in-play good characters that they can safely bluff as. If the Imp dies, the game ends and good wins. However, if the Imp kills themself at night, they die and an alive Minion becomes an Imp. This new Imp does not act that same night, but is now the Imp in every other way—they kill each night, and lose if they die.

How to Run

Each night except the first, wake the Imp. The Imp points at any player. Put the Imp to sleep. The chosen player dies—put the Imp's DEAD reminder by the chosen player's character token in the Grimoire and put a shroud on it.
If the Imp killed themself at night, choose an alive Minion and replace their character token with a spare Imp token, changing their character to the Imp. Wake the new Imp, show them the YOU ARE info token, then show them the Imp token. Put the new Imp to sleep.
At dawn, declare which player died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
If the Imp attacks a dead player at night, let them do so. Whenever a character's ability says "choose a player," that means that any player—alive or dead—can be chosen. The Imp may be planning on bluffing as the Soldier, and this kind of thing helps their bluff look stronger.

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.

Lord of Typhon

Each night*, choose a player: they die. [Evil characters are in a line. You are in the middle. +1 Minion. -? to +? Outsiders]

In the shadowed and forgotten corners of the cosmos, where the stars whisper secrets to the void, lies a truth so profound that the merest glimpse of it unravels the sanity of mortal minds.

"Each night*, choose a player: they die. [Evil characters are in a line. You are in the middle. +1 Minion. -? to +? Outsiders]" The Lord of Typhon is surrounded by Minions. All evil characters sit next to each other in a continuous line. All evil characters must be in the line at setup. Evil Travellers and Evil Townsfolk may be part of the line, but do not have to be. The Lord of Typhon must have an evil character on both sides. They cannot sit at the end of the line of evil characters. The evil team starts with one additional Minion when the Lord of Typhon is in play. Any number of Outsiders might be in play. Like the Marionette, the Storyteller decides which players are Minions during setup. The Storyteller also decides which player is which Minion. If a Lord of Typhon is created mid game, the Lord of Typhon does not need to sit in a line with the evil characters.

How to Run

During setup, remove all Minion tokens and add Townsfolk or Outsider tokens.
During the first night, wake the appropriate number of players directly clockwise and counter-clockwise from the Lord of Typhon. Show each of these players a unique Minion token, and give a thumbs down. Replace these players' good character tokens with these Minion tokens and put these players to sleep. Then, do the Minion Info and Demon Info steps as normal.
Each night except the first, wake the Lord of Typhon. They point at any player. That player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the Lord of Typhon to sleep.

Thief

Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts negatively tomorrow.

I ain't done nuffink. I weren't even in dat alley last night! It weren't me what stole Mayor Bruno's briefcase wiv all dem fancy dockoments innit. Besides, it was too 'eavy to carry far.

"Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts negatively tomorrow." The Thief steals votes from a player, making their vote count negatively. When a player chosen by the Thief votes, the vote tally goes down by one instead of up by one. This happens every time that player votes that day. The player with the negative vote changes back to having a positive vote immediately if the Thief dies, including if the Thief is exiled, because the Thief loses their ability. Exiles are never affected by abilities, so the player with the negative vote can support exiles unaffected by the Thief’s ability. Since the Storyteller counts the number of votes out loud as they move their hand around the circle, all players will know which player the Thief chose.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Thief. They point at any player. Mark the chosen player with the Thief’s NEGATIVE VOTE reminder. Put the Thief to sleep.
Each time you tally the vote of a player marked NEGATIVE VOTE, count it as subtracting one vote instead of adding one vote. (Count this out loud, as normal.)

Matron

Each day, you may choose up to 3 sets of 2 players to swap seats. Players may not leave their seats to talk in private.

Miss Featherbottom, be quiet. Master Rutherford, a teacup needs just the four fingers, please. I know you are a father of nine, but age, or lack there-of as the case may be, is never an excuse for poor manners.

"Each day, you may choose up to 3 sets of 2 players to swap seats. Players may not leave their seats to talk in private." The Matron chooses which players sit where. The Matron may swap two players’ seating positions, up to three times per day. The new seating order is permanent, unless changed again by the Matron. The same player may be moved multiple times. Some players may find moving difficult due to a physical disability or impediment. In these cases, they are immune to the Matron’s ability and can stay put. With the Matron in play, players may not talk privately except with their immediate neighbors while sitting down. Players may not leave their seat to whisper something to any player, and may not even talk about the game to each other when going to the bathroom, and so on. Players should self-police this. If the Matron swaps just one or two sets of players, they may not swap another set of players later that day.

How to Run

Players who leave their seats cannot talk about the game to other players until they return.
Each day, the Matron may choose two players and declare that they swap seating positions. Ask them to do so. Swap their character tokens and any reminders they have in the Grimoire. The Matron may do this up to three times, but all swaps happen one after the other.

Gangster

Once per day, you may choose to kill an alive neighbor, if your other alive neighbor agrees.

I like your shoes. It would be such a shame if you had a little accident, and they got ruined. Now that you mention it, I like your cufflinks too.

"Once per day, you may choose to kill an alive neighbor, if your other alive neighbor agrees." The Gangster encourages their neighbors to kill each other. The Gangster may kill one of their two living neighbors. Their dead neighbors are skipped over, and do not count. To use their ability, the Gangster and one of their living neighbors must agree to kill the other living neighbor. The Storyteller must hear and confirm this agreement. The Gangster cannot kill without the Storyteller present. Each day, the Gangster may say whatever they want, and offer any encouraging words they want to either player. Once an agreement has been reached, then the Gangster may not use their ability again today, even if that player didn’t die due to an ability protecting them. The Gangster’s two living neighbors are always one clockwise, and one counter-clockwise. If both living neighbors want to kill the other, the Gangster decides who dies.

How to Run

Once per day, the Gangster can declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, ask if an alive neighbor agrees. If an alive neighbor agrees, the other alive neighbor dies. If both alive neighbors agree, the Gangster chooses which alive neighbor dies. If neither alive neighbor agrees, the Gangster may not use their ability today.

Judge

Once per game, if another player nominated, you may choose to force the current execution to pass or fail.

I find the defendant guilty of the crimes of murder, fraud, arson, larceny, impersonating an officer of the law, practicing medicine without a license, slander, regicide, and littering.

"Once per game, if another player nominated, you may choose to force the current execution to pass or fail." The Judge can determine if an execution succeeds or not, regardless of who voted. The Judge can decide to pardon a player that they think is innocent, to condemn a player that they think is guilty, or vice versa. If the nominee is pardoned, then they are not executed today, and none of the votes for them count. If the nominee is condemned, then they are executed immediately, regardless of how many votes they received, and regardless of whether another player was about to die by execution. Then the day ends, because there can normally only be one execution per day. The Judge may use their ability during or after the votes are tallied. However, once a new player has been nominated, then the Judge may only use their ability on this new nominee. The Judge may only use their ability once, and only if a different player made a nomination.

How to Run

At any time during a nomination for execution—from the moment that the nomination is declared to the moment before a new player is nominated for execution—the Judge can declare that this execution succeeds or fails. If the Judge declares that it succeeds, the nominated player is executed and you may proceed to the night phase (as there may only be one execution per day). If the Judge declares that it fails, the nominated player is no longer about to die and they are treated as receiving zero votes for execution, and the nomination process continues. The Judge loses their ability—put the Judge’s NO ABILITY reminder token by the Judge token.

Voudon

Only you & the dead can vote. They don't need a vote token to do so. A 50% majority isn't required.

Bien venu. Sit down. Breathe deep. Enter the land of the dead. See with their eyes. Speak with their voice. Yon sel lang se janm ase.

"Only you & the dead can vote. They don't need a vote token to do so. A 50% majority isn't required." The Voudon gives the voting power to the dead instead of the living. The dead and the Voudon may vote as many times per day as they wish. They do not need a vote token to vote, and do not lose their vote token when they do so. Alive players cannot vote. It is not the case that they may put their hand up but the votes don’t count—their hands must stay down during voting. The number of votes required to execute a player is no longer half or more of the alive players. The player with the most votes is executed each day, but even a single vote is enough to execute a player if no other player gets more votes. The Voudon does not alter who can make nominations. As normal, alive players may make nominations, and dead players may not. Since Travellers are exiled, not executed, all players, alive or dead, may support exiling the Voudon or other Travellers. If a player is about to die and then the Voudon is exiled, that player is still about to die and nominations continue, but alive players vote as normal. If a later nomination gets more votes and it tallies to half or more of the alive players, this new player is about to die instead.

How to Run

During votes for execution, only dead players and the Voudon may raise their hand to vote. The dead may vote even if they have no vote token, and voting does not use a vote token. If a nominee gets at least one vote, they are about to die by execution until a different player gets more votes.
