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.

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
- 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.
- 매일 밤, 동네바보를 한 명 깨우세요. 그 플레이어는 플레이어 1명을 가리킵니다. 엄지를 위나 아래로 보여주고 다시 재우세요. 모든 동네바보가 행동할 때까지 반복합니다.

Townsfolk
Flowergirl
Each night*, you learn if a Demon voted today.
Yesterday's violets have withered and died, but today my poppies bloom.
"Each night*, you learn if a Demon voted today." The Flowergirl knows if the Demon voted or not. A Demon’s vote counts whether or not the nominee was executed. The Flowergirl does not detect if the Demon raised their hand for other reasons, such as when the players “vote” on what to order for dinner, or when the players raise their hand to exile a Traveller. If the Demon changes players after the original Demon voted but before the Flowergirl wakes to learn their information, the Flowergirl detects the original Demon. If there are two (or more!) Demons, even dead Demons, the Flowergirl detects if any of them voted. If even one Demon voted, the Flowergirl learns a “yes”.
How to Run
- Each dawn, mark the Flowergirl with the DEMON NOT VOTED reminder, and remove the DEMON VOTED reminder, if any.
- Each day, if the Demon votes for any execution, replace the DEMON NOT VOTED reminder with the DEMON VOTED reminder.
- Each night except the first, wake the Flowergirl. If the Flowergirl is marked DEMON NOT VOTED, shake your head no. If the Flowergirl is marked DEMON VOTED, nod your head yes. Then, put the Flowergirl to sleep.
Examples & Notes
- If you forget whether the Demon voted or not, wake the Demon at night and ask by showing them the DID YOU VOTE TODAY? info token. They must answer honestly, then go to sleep.
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
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.

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
Choirboy
If the Demon kills the King, you learn which player is the Demon. [+the King]
I saw it, I did. I was in the pews, tidying the hymn books, when a dreadful tune started from the pipe organ. The organist had a long cloak, and long fingers on the keys. And a hat that looked… just like… yours.
"If the Demon kills the King, you learn which player is the Demon. [+the King]" The Choirboy learns who the Demon is when the King is slain. The King can be in play without the Choirboy. During the setup phase, if the Choirboy is in play and the King isn’t, the King is added. If a King is already in play, the Choirboy doesn’t add a second King. If the Demon kills the King using their ability, the Choirboy learns which player is the Demon. The Demon nominating and executing the King doesn’t count. Minions that kill the King, such as the Assassin, don’t count either. If the Demon attacks the King but doesn’t kill the King, the Choirboy doesn’t learn who the Demon is. The Choirboy learns which player the Demon is, but does not learn which character.
How to Run
- While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, if the King is not already in play, remove a Townsfolk character token and add the King character token.
- Each night except the first, if the Demon kills the King, put the Demon to sleep then wake the Choirboy. Point to the Demon player then put the Choirboy to sleep.
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
Plague Doctor
When you die, the Storyteller gains a Minion ability.
Pleauze shtay shtill. Thinks nid tiime for hillink. Myrhh-myrhh.
"When you die, the Storyteller gains a Minion ability." The Plague Doctor brings an extra Minion ability into play. The Storyteller chooses which Minion ability is gained. This ability is in effect for the rest of the game. Nothing else changes for the Storyteller – they don’t become evil, they don’t become a player, they are not a legitimate player to be targeted by other abilities, and they cannot vote or nominate. If the Plague Doctor is drunk or poisoned when they die, the Storyteller doesn’t gain a Minion ability, even when the Plague Doctor becomes sober and healthy.
How to Run
- When the Plague Doctor dies, place a Minion character token in the centre of the left side of the Grimoire and mark this with the Plague Doctor’s STORYTELLER ABILITY reminder. Or, mark an in-play Minion with the STORYTELLER ABILITY reminder. If applicable, add a night token to the night sheet.
- When this Minion would normally act, the relevant choices are made by the Storyteller.
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
Cerenovus
Each night, choose a player & a good character: they are “mad” they are this character tomorrow, or might be executed.
Reality is merely an opinion. Specifically, my opinion.
"Each night, choose a player & a good character: they are "mad" they are this character tomorrow, or might be executed." The Cerenovus encourages players to pretend to be different characters than they actually are. The Cerenovus chooses Townsfolk or Outsiders that players are mad about being. They must try to convince the group that they actually are this character tomorrow, or else die. Simply hinting is not enough to avoid death. The player must make a decent effort to convince the group. Mad players are never literally forced to say things they don’t want to—but if the Storyteller doesn’t hear them make an effort, they pay the price. Mad evil players might be executed this way, but “might” means you can choose not to, to prevent evil from winning by this strategy. Like the Mutant, an execution penalty counts as the one execution allowed per day.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Cerenovus. They point at any player and at any Townsfolk or Outsider icon on their character sheet. Put the Cerenovus to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the MAD reminder. Wake this player, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Cerenovus token, then the character token of the character they are mad about being. Put that player to sleep.
- During the next day or night, if you feel that the mad player has not done their best to convince the group they are this character, you can decide to execute them. Declare this to the group. They die. If you execute them during the day before the normal execution happens, go to the night phase. (There is a maximum of one execution per day.)
Minion
Wizard
Once per game, choose to make a wish. If granted, it might have a price & leave a clue as to its nature.
Every man and every woman is a star. Love is the law, love under will.
"Once per game, choose to make a wish. If granted, it might have a price & leave a clue as to its nature." The Wizard makes a wish. This wish is limited only by the player’s imagination. It can be anything at all. The Wizard can write their wish on their phone and wake at night to show the Storyteller, or talk with the Storyteller in private during the day. The Wizard could even make a wish publicly if they are feeling foolish. If the Storyteller tells the group that the Wizard has made a wish, they need not do so immediately, and can do so at any point later on. Many wishes have a price. The price changes the game in some way, or changes the wish in some way. It can be anything at all, and is decided by the Storyteller. The Storyteller may or may not tell the Wizard what the price is. The purpose of the price is to rebalance a wish that is unfair for the good team on a mechanical level. Many wishes leave a clue. The clue can be anything at all, is decided by the Storyteller, and is declared publicly. The purpose of a clue is to rebalance a wish that is unfair to the good team on an informational level. When the Wizard dies, the wish may or may not still be in effect, depending on the nature of the wish and the nature of the price. If the Wizard makes a wish that the Storyteller doesn’t understand, or feels like it would be impossible to implement, the Storyteller may ask the Wizard to wish again, or cancel the wish.
How to Run
- When the Wizard makes a wish, either verbally or via text, decide whether to accept or decline the wish. If the wish is declined, prompt the Wizard to wish again, or tell them that they have no more wishes.
- If the wish is granted, say “Your wish is granted.” or “Your wish is my command”, or nod, or otherwise signal that their wish is accepted. Now or later, you may make a price: make whatever mechanical adjustments to the game you feel are necessary for the wish to be balanced. Now or later, you may declare publicly that the Wizard has made a wish, then give the good team a clue about what was wished.
Examples & Notes
- Storytelling the Wizard can be tricky. The Wizard is the most fun for everybody when all wishes are granted, all wishes leave a clue, and all wishes have a price. However...
- If you feel that by granting a wish, the evil team has benefitted a small amount but the good team still has all they need to figure out who the Demon is and to win the game, you may apply no clue and no price. You may even skip telling the good team that the Wizard has made a wish, or tell them but give no clue.
- If you feel that by granting the wish, the good team is at a severe disadvantage in terms of balance - the game rules have changed so that it is impossible for the good team to win even if they learn who the Demon is - then change the game rules or change the wish so that it is still fair for the good team.
- If you feel that by granting the wish, the good team is at a severe disadvantage in terms of knowledge - they lack the needed information to reasonably win the game - then give them a helpful clue to find out what the wish was.
- If you feel that the wish is so extreme and convoluted that you can think of no clue or price to balance it, or that it would just make the game unfun, then decline the wish completely.
- Overall, the wish should tip the scales in favour of the Wizard, but still allow the good team a reasonable chance of winning. Take your time in deciding how to do this.
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.
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.
Demon
Ojo
Each night*, choose a character: they die. If they are not in play, the Storyteller chooses who dies.
Like a bonfire on a moonless night… I see you, mortal.
"Each night*, choose a character: they die. If they are not in play, the Storyteller chooses who dies." The Ojo chooses specifically which character dies. Unlike other Demons, the Ojo must choose a character, not a player. The Storyteller may need to remind the player of this. We recommend that all players have their character sheet handy during the night phase. The Ojo can kill evil characters, if they wish. If there are multiple copies of a particular character in play, and the Ojo chooses that character to die, only one of those characters dies. If the Ojo chooses a character that is not in play, the Storyteller will almost always kill a living good player. It is possible, but uncommon, for the Storyteller to choose a dead player or an evil player to die.
How to Run
- Each night except the first, wake the Ojo. The Ojo player points to a character icon on their character sheet. If that character is in play, that player dies—mark them with the “Dead” reminder. If that character is not in play, choose any player. That player dies—mark them with the “Dead” reminder. Put the Ojo to sleep.
Examples & Notes
- If the Ojo is on a script with a Demon that kills multiple times per night, such as the Shabaloth, and the Ojo chooses a not-in-play character, you may choose more than one player to kill that night. This helps the Ojo player pretend that a different Demon is in play.
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.

Barista
Each night, until dusk, 1) a player becomes sober, healthy & gets true info, or 2) their ability works twice. They learn which.
A cup of coffee with no cream, Monsieur? I’m terribly sorry, but we’re fresh out of cream — how about with no milk?
"Each night, until dusk, 1) a player becomes sober, healthy & gets true info, or 2) their ability works twice. They learn which." The Barista either makes people sober & healthy, or allows them to act twice as much as normal. The Storyteller chooses which player the Barista affects each night, and which one of the two Barista abilities is in effect. The Barista does not know who or what the Storyteller chooses, but the affected player does. If the affected player is acting twice, then they do so at the normal time. If they would normally wake at night, they act, go to sleep, then wake to act again. If they have already used a “once per game” ability, they may use that ability again. If they have a “once per game” ability but have not used it yet, they may use it twice before dusk. If the Barista makes a player sober and healthy, their drunkenness and poisoning, if any, is removed, and they may not become drunk or poisoned until dusk. This player must get true information, even if a Vortox is in play.
How to Run
- Each night, remove previous reminders then put the Barista’s SOBER AND HEALTHY reminder or their ACTS TWICE reminder by any character token. Wake that character’s player and show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, the Barista token, then one finger (to show they are sober and healthy) or two fingers (to show they act twice). Put that player to sleep.
- A player marked SOBER AND HEALTHY is sober and healthy (even if they’re also marked DRUNK or POISONED) and always gets true information (even if an ability would make them drunk or poisoned).
- A player marked ACTS TWICE acts twice at the appropriate time. (If the ability is optional, they may use it twice. If it is mandatory, they must use it twice.) Use the Barista’s ? reminders if needed, to substitute for the character’s own reminders.
Examples & Notes
- Some characters are better off knowing they are sober and healthy, as they gain no benefit from acting twice, such as the Flowergirl, Town Crier, or Oracle.
- The Barista ensures players get true information even if an ability causes false information, such as a Fortune Teller, Spy, or Recluse.

Harlot
Each night*, choose a living player: if they agree, you learn their character, but you both might die.
Enchanté, Sailor. You look like you need someone to really listen to your troubles. I'm a good listener. Very, very good.
"Each night*, choose a living player: if they agree, you learn their character, but you both might die." The Harlot learns the character of whoever agrees to reveal it, but at great risk for them both. Each night, the Harlot chooses a player. That player has a decision to make: do they reveal their character to the Harlot? If they do, the Storyteller may decide that both this player and the Harlot die tonight. The Harlot only learns the character of the chosen player, not that player’s alignment. The Harlot may discuss during the day which character they would like to pick at night, and other players may offer to be picked, but they may go back on their word and choose differently when night comes.
How to Run
- Each night, wake the Harlot. The Harlot points at any player. Put the Harlot to sleep. Wake the chosen player, show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU' info token, then the Harlot token. That player either nods their head yes or shakes their head no. Put that player to sleep.
- If they shook their head no, then nothing happens. Continue with the night phase.
- If they nodded their head yes, wake the Harlot and show them the chosen player’s character token. Put the Harlot to sleep. You may decide that both players die—mark them with DEAD reminders.
Examples & Notes
- When choosing whether to kill players, do what you feel is the most interesting and balanced. If the Demon reveals to the Harlot, you should not end the game by killing them.

Beggar
You must use a vote token to vote. If a dead player gives you theirs, you learn their alignment. You are sober & healthy.
Alms for the poor, good Sir? Spare a coin, Madam? Thank you. God bless! You're a right kind soul and no mistake! I'll have some swanky nosh tonight, I will!
"You must use a vote token to vote. If a dead player gives you theirs, you learn their alignment. You are sober and healthy." The Beggar can not vote unless someone gives them a token to use, but they learn if the player that does so is good or evil. The Beggar cannot raise their hand to vote at all unless they have a vote token. When they do vote, they lose one vote token. If they have more than one, they may only use one at a time. Only a dead player may give their vote token to the Beggar, after which that dead player cannot vote. Each dead player decides for themself whether to give the Beggar their vote token. No one, including the Beggar, may move a player’s vote token on their behalf. When a player gives their vote token to the Beggar, the Beggar learns whether that player is good or evil. The Beggar can still nominate freely, and can still vote for an exile freely, because exiles are not affected by abilities. If the Beggar dies, they gain one vote token to use while dead, just like any other character would. However, the Beggar loses all their previously acquired vote tokens. If the Beggar would become drunk or poisoned, they do not. The ability to donate vote tokens is unique to the Beggar ability. Players may not give their vote token to a player that is not the Beggar, whether or not a Beggar is in play.
How to Run
- The Beggar cannot vote unless they have a vote token. They lose one vote token each time they vote.
- During the day, a dead player can declare that they give their vote token to the Beggar. Transfer the vote token to the Beggar and privately tell the Beggar the alignment of that player.

Gnome
All players start knowing a player of your alignment. You may choose to kill anyone who nominates them.
Four the score or seven beers, no shows are goes for me and my. A prank to crack the cranks and planks o’ the floor foundation length, so incontravertabubbilly mini. The large essays down streams of joyse, no greater than is scene, not inherdt. Ha-urrumph.
"All players start knowing a player of your alignment. You may choose to kill anyone who nominates them." The Gnome protects one player on their team. The Gnome starts as the same alignment as one other player - their "amigo". The Storyteller publicly announces which player this is. When their amigo is nominated, it is the Gnome's responsibility to speak up. The Storyteller may not prompt them to use their ability. If their amigo changes alignment, the Gnome's alignment does not change. The Gnome may use their ability any number of times over the course of the game, including zero. Their amigo may still only be nominated once per day. When the Gnome uses their ability, and the Storyteller confirms it, the nominator dies immediately. Voting for execution still occurs. Regardless of what the group wants, it is always the individual player's decision whether they wish to nominate or not, and always the Gnome player's decision on whether they wish to use their ability or not. If the Storyteller feels that a player is being pressured into nominating or using their ability when they don't want to, the Storyteller may not recognize that nomination or ability use.
How to Run
- During the day, as soon as the Gnome has entered play, mark a player of the same alignment with the AMIGO reminder. Declare that this player is the same alignment as the Gnome.
- If this player is nominated, but before you have started the voting process, if the Gnome player declares that they wish to use their ability, the nominator dies.
