    Notes

    A themed script dedicated to characters that wouldn't feel out of place in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. I did my best to keep it balanced on YSK, Continuing Information, and Miscellaneous Townsfolk roles, along with a decent amount of droisoning/misinformation options for the Storyteller. I always include a Hell's Librarian on my scripts as an option for the Storyteller to use in case of overtalking, a common issue I've seen in both online and in person play.

    Knight

    You start knowing 2 players that are not the Demon.


    When a man lies, he murders some part of the world.

    "You start knowing 2 players that are not the Demon." The Knight knows players that are not the Demon. On the first night, the Knight learns two players who are not the Demon. On subsequent nights, they learn nothing more. The Knight can learn Townsfolk, Outsiders or even Minions but does not learn which character type they are.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, mark two non-Demon players with the Knight’s KNOW reminders. During the first night, wake the Knight. Point to the two players marked KNOW.
  3. 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

    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.

    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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. In smaller games, making the Fortune Teller their own Red Herring is sometimes advised, as the Fortune Teller gets more information that way.
  8. Townsfolk

    Cult Leader

    Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbor. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins.


    Thinking themselves wise, they became fools.

    "Each night, you become the alignment of an alive neighbor. If all good players choose to join your cult, your team wins." The Cult Leader wins if everyone joins their cult. At the end of each night, the Cult Leader becomes the alignment of a living neighbor. Once per day, the Cult Leader may publicly choose to form a cult. If all good players vote to join the cult, the game ends immediately and the Cult Leader’s team wins. The Cult Leader may form a cult at any point in the day. Voting to join a cult does not require a vote token. Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player bluffing as the Cult Leader may pretend to form a cult.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, turn the Cult Leader character token right side up (if both alive neighbors are good) or upside down (if both alive neighbors are evil) or either (if one alive neighbor is good and the other alive neighbor is evil). If the Cult Leader's alignment changes, wake the Cult Leader and give a thumbs up or a thumbs down, then put the Cult Leader to sleep. If the Cult Leader’s alignment doesn’t change, do not wake them.
    2. During the day, the Cult Leader may declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, enter the circle and run a vote in the same way that you would for an Exile. If all good players raise their hand, declare which team has won. If not all good players raise their hand, nothing happens.
  9. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.)
    3. At dawn, remove the SAFE reminder token.
    4. 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.
  10. Townsfolk

    Lycanthrope

    Each night*, choose an alive player. If good, they die & the Demon doesn’t kill tonight. One good player registers as evil.


    Beneath the thin veneer of civilisation lies a howling madness.

    "Each night*, choose an alive player. If good, they die & the Demon doesn’t kill tonight. One good player registers as evil." The Lycanthrope roams at night, killing the innocent, whilst the Demon cowers indoors. The Lycanthrope must choose an alive player each night. If the Lycanthrope chooses a dead player, the Storyteller shakes their head no and prompts the Lycanthrope to choose a different player. If the player that the Lycanthrope chooses is good, that player dies, and the Demon cannot kill tonight. If the player the Lycanthrope attacks is evil, that player does not die, and the Demon may still kill tonight. If the Lycanthrope attacks a good player but that good player doesn’t die, the Demon may still kill tonight. While the Lycanthrope lives, one good player registers as evil. They cannot be killed by the Lycanthrope. This evil-registration does not effect win conditions. The good player that registers as evil still wins or loses with the good team.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, mark one good player with the Lycanthrope’s FAUX PAW reminder.
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Lycanthrope. They point at any player. Put the Lycanthrope to sleep. If the chosen player is good, that player dies—mark them with the Lycanthrope’s DEAD reminder. Later that night, wake the Demon, as normal, but the Demon cannot kill. If the chosen player is evil, nothing happens.

    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

    1. During the night, if the Demon attacks the Soldier, the Soldier remains alive. (At dawn, declare that no one died at night.)
    2. 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.
  13. Townsfolk

    Alchemist

    You have a Minion ability. When using this, the Storyteller may prompt you to choose differently.


    Visit the interior of the Earth. By rectification thou shalt find the hidden stone. Above the gold, lieth the red. Kether in Malkuth.

    "You have a Minion ability. When using this, the Storyteller may prompt you to choose differently." The Alchemist has a Minion ability. The Alchemist’s ability is usually that of a not-in-play Minion, but can duplicate an in-play Minion ability. The Alchemist learns which ability this is on the first night. They are still a good Townsfolk. They win when good wins, and lose when good loses. They register as good and as the Alchemist. The Alchemist does not wake to learn who the other Minions are or who the Demon is, like Minions do. If the Alchemist’s Minion ability adds or removes characters during setup, this still occurs during setup. If the Alchemist has an ability where the player chooses something, like the Poisoner or the Vizier, the Storyteller may ask the Alchemist to choose differently. The Alchemist must do so.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Alchemist. Show the YOU ARE info token then the character token of a Minion. Put the Alchemist to sleep. If the Alchemist has a not-in-play Minion ability, mark the Alchemist with the IS THE ALCHEMIST reminder and swap the Alchemist token with this Minion token and turn it upside down. (This shows they are still good.)
    2. The Alchemist has this Minion ability. They use it as if they were a Minion, and wake at night when that Minion would normally wake to use their ability.
    3. If the Alchemist makes a choice using their ability, you may ask them to choose differently. If this is during the day, ask verbally. If this is during the night, shake your head, point at the Alchemist ability text on the character sheet, and wait for the Alchemist to choose again.
  14. Townsfolk

    Banshee

    If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.


    Gorm do shúile, dearg do ghruaig, ní bheidh sé i bhfad, is a mbeidh tú san uaigh.

    "If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.” The Banshee becomes more powerful when dead, nominating and voting twice as much. When alive, the Banshee nominates and votes as normal. When dead, they may nominate twice per day, even though dead players may normally not nominate at all. When dead, they may vote for any nomination they wish and do not need a vote token to do so. They may vote twice for the same nomination. The Banshee only gains these powers if they were killed by the Demon. Dying by execution or to a non-Demon ability does not count. To vote twice, the Banshee player raises both hands when votes are counted. If the player is unable to do this due to a disability, the Storyteller can count their normal vote twice.

    How to Run

    1. If the Banshee is killed by the Demon, place the HAS ABILITY reminder token next to the Banshee and say “The Banshee has awoken” or something similarly dramatic. The Banshee may nominate twice per day, but it is the player’s responsibility to remember how many times they have nominated. The Banshee may raise two hands when voting. When counting the votes, count each hand as a vote.
    2. If the Banshee is killed by the Demon but does not have their ability at that time or is killed by a non-Demon ability, then do not tell the group that the Banshee ability has been triggered. The Banshee may not nominate, and needs a vote token to vote, like a regular dead player.

    Examples & Notes

    • If all good players are dead, the game continues. Good can still win due to the Banshee being able to nominate.
  15. Outsider

    Ogre

    On your 1st night, choose a player (not yourself): you become their alignment (you don't know which) even if drunk or poisoned.


    <grunt><grin></grunt>

    "On your 1st night, choose a player (not yourself): you become their alignment (you don't know which) even if drunk or poisoned.” The Ogre is someone's best friend. The Ogre's chosen player does not change, even if the Ogre is drunk or poisoned when they chose. The Ogre becomes the same alignment as their chosen player immediately on the first night, even if the Ogre is drunk or poisoned. The Ogre is not told their alignment at the beginning of the game. If the Ogre changes alignment by other means, the Ogre learns their new alignment, as normal. If an Ogre is created mid-game, the Ogre chooses a player that night, and becomes their alignment.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Ogre. The Ogre points to a player. Put the Ogre to sleep. If the Ogre pointed to an evil player, flip the Ogre's character token upside down to represent that the Ogre is evil.

    Examples & Notes

    • Optional rule: Mark the Ogre’s chosen player with a FRIEND reminder. The Ogre is always the same alignment as their friend. If the Ogre’s friend changes alignment, the Ogre changes alignment too, but the Ogre does not learn this.
    • This is only recommended for games of 15 players or more, so that there are not too many evil players.
  16. Outsider

    Lunatic

    You think you are a Demon, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are & who you choose at night.


    I am the night... I think.

    "You think you are a Demon, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are & who you choose at night." The Lunatic thinks that they are the Demon. Much like the Drunk, the Lunatic does not know their real character or real alignment. They are woken each night to attack as if they were the Demon that is in play, but their choices have no effect because they have no Demon ability. The Lunatic wakes during the first night to learn three bluffs and the appropriate number of Minions, but this information may be wrong. The real Demon knows which players the Lunatic chose to attack each night.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, put the Lunatic and Demon tokens in the bag. Once all tokens have been returned to you, swap the positions of the Lunatic and Demon tokens in the Grimoire.
    2. During the first night, wake the Lunatic and act as if they are the Demon. Show them the THESE ARE YOUR MINIONS info token and point to a number of players equaling the number of Minions in play. (These can be any players, whether or not they are Minions.) Show any three good character tokens as bluffs. (These can even be characters that are in play.)
    3. During the first night, wake the Demon. Show them the YOU ARE info token, then their Demon token. (This tells them they are the real Demon.) Show them the THIS PLAYER IS info token, then the Lunatic token, then point at the Lunatic player.
    4. Each night, before the Demon wakes to attack, wake the Lunatic to act as if they were that Demon. Put a CHOSEN reminder on each player they chose, then put them to sleep. Wake the real Demon, point at the Lunatic, show the Lunatic token to the real Demon, and point at the players that the Lunatic chose. Then the Demon acts as normal.

    Examples & Notes

    • You can make the Lunatic think they are a different Demon than the in-play Demon by instead putting two Demon tokens in the bag, then replacing one of them with the Lunatic token once they are in the Grimoire.
  17. Outsider

    Golem

    You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die.


    Golem help? Golem smash! Golem help.

    "You may only nominate once per game. When you do, if the nominee is not the Demon, they die." The Golem kills the player they nominate. When the Golem nominates a player, that player immediately dies. The nomination process continues. If the Golem nominates the Demon, nothing happens. The Storyteller doesn’t confirm or deny that the Golem nominated, and continues with the voting process as normal. The Storyteller may say “nothing happens” if clarity is asked for. After the Golem has nominated once, whether or not the nominee dies, the Golem may not nominate again this game. It is the player’s responsibility to refrain from nominating, not the Storyteller’s. Deliberately nominating when they shouldn’t is considered cheating.

    How to Run

    1. If the Golem nominates a non-Demon, that player dies, then the vote continues as normal. Mark the Golem with the MAY NOT NOMINATE reminder.
    2. If the Golem nominates the Demon, the vote continues as normal. (Do not say why.) Mark the Golem with the MAY NOT NOMINATE reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Golem accidentally nominates when they shouldn’t, you can either accept or not accept the nomination. It is best to not accept the nomination—as long as you think that this won’t confirm that a Golem is in play. To keep things fair, also do this for players bluffing as the Golem, reminding them that the Golem cannot nominate more than once.
  18. Outsider

    Damsel

    All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses.


    Don't touch the hair, honey.

    "All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses." The Damsel needs to avoid being found by the Minions. If a Minion guesses that you are the Damsel, and does so publicly (so that all players know that they are a Minion), evil wins. No matter how many Minions are in play, they only get one guess, total. If a Minion makes a guess and is wrong, future guesses by this Minion or by other Minions don’t count. If the Demon pretends to be a Minion making a guess, that doesn’t count as a guess. Minions may still make a guess and win. Minions may make a guess at any time. If the Damsel dies, they are no longer at risk of being guessed by a Minion, since the Damsel loses their ability when dead. There may not be a Huntsman in play. But if there is, and the Huntsman chooses the Damsel at night, the Damsel becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk, and is no longer the Damsel. The Damsel learns which Townsfolk and has that Townsfolk ability from then on.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake each Minion. Show the Damsel token. Put each Minion to sleep.
    2. At any time during the game, if a Minion publicly guesses which player is the Damsel and is incorrect, mark the Damsel with the GUESS USED reminder. Future guesses by Minion players have no effect.
    3. At any time during the game, if a Minion publicly guesses which player is the Damsel and is correct, the game ends. Declare that the evil team wins.
  19. Minion

    Mezepheles

    You start knowing a secret word. The 1st good player to say this word becomes evil that night.


    That which issues from the heart alone, will bend the hearts of others to your own.

    "You start knowing a secret word. The 1st good player to say this word becomes evil that night." The Mezepheles offers good players a choice: to turn evil or not. On the first night, the Mezepheles learns a secret word from the Storyteller. If a good player says this word, either publicly or privately, they turn evil that night. The Storyteller needs to hear this player actually say the word before turning them evil. The Mezepheles does not learn if a player turns evil. The good player learns if they turn evil, but not until that night. If the Mezepheles is sober and healthy at night, the good player turns evil even if the Mezepheles was drunk or poisoned when the good player spoke the secret word. If the Mezepheles is drunk or poisoned at night when a player would turn evil, the player stays good—the Mezepheles has “used their ability” and may not turn a player evil later on.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, write a single word on a piece of paper or on a phone or other device. During the first night, wake the Mezepheles, show the written word, then put them to sleep.
    2. The first time you hear a good player say the secret word, mark them with the TURNS EVIL reminder.
    3. Each night, if a player is marked with the TURNS EVIL reminder, wake them. Show the YOU ARE info token then give a thumbs down. Put them to sleep. Turn their character token upside down. (This shows they are now evil.) The Mezepheles loses their ability—mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet.

    Examples & Notes

    • Choose an unusual word that would never be spoken accidentally. You can even make one up. The fun lies in the Mezepheles taking a risk to secretly convince a good player to turn evil, not in a good player unexpectedly changing teams.
  20. 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.

    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.)
  23. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. At dawn, declare which player died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
    4. 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.

    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

    1. 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.)
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
  26. Demon

    Lleech

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing a player: they are poisoned. You die if & only if they are dead.


    Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty brai- I mean pie! Yes. Tasty pie. That’s what I meant to say.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing a player: they are poisoned. You die if & only if they are dead." The Lleech lives if their host lives, and dies if their host dies. On the first night, the Lleech chooses a player, who is poisoned for the rest of the game. If this player is alive, the Lleech cannot die. If the Lleech is executed, the Storyteller tells the group that the player lives, but not why. If the player that the Lleech chose dies, the Lleech dies as well. If this means that only one or two players are left alive, good still wins, because the Demon is dead. From the second night onwards, players that the Lleech attacks die but are not poisoned. If a Lleech is created mid-game, they poison a player that night. They must choose an alive player.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Lleech. They point at any player. That player is poisoned—mark them with the POISONED reminder. Put the Lleech to sleep.
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Lleech. They point at any player. That player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the Lleech to sleep.
    3. If the Lleech would die but the player marked with the Lleech’s POISONED reminder is alive, the Lleech does not die. If the player marked with the Lleech’s POISONED reminder is dead, the Lleech dies and the good team wins.

    Examples & Notes

    • When giving false information to a good player poisoned by the Lleech, make sure this information seems true. If the good player believes it to be false, they will quickly execute themselves and win the game.

    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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.)

    Cacklejack

    Each day, choose a player: a different player changes character tonight.


    Wire α To wire β. LigHt oN. BuZZer off. GAzOinks! Arms STra1ght. FingER 2 nose. hOooLd stiLL. BoiNgo-banGo! Ha-ha-ha!

    "Each day, choose a player: a different player changes character tonight." The Cacklejack causes character-changing chaos. The Storyteller chooses one player to change character each night. This player can be evil or good, dead or alive. The Storyteller also chooses which character they become. This may be an in-play or a not-in-play character. Each day, the Cacklejack chooses a player that is immune - the Storyteller must choose a different player to change character that night. The Cacklejack may choose publicly or privately, but must choose during the day. Each time a player’s character changes, this is treated as a new instance of that character ability. For example, if a player becomes the Chef on Night 3, they immediately learn how many pairs of evil players there are.

    How to Run

    1. Each day, the Cacklejack chooses a player. Mark them with the NOT ME reminder.
    2. Each night, except the first, replace any player’s character token with a different character token. Wake that player. Show the YOU ARE info token, and their new character token, then put them to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • Remember that the night order is just a guide. The Cacklejack may act at any point in the night if you need it to.

    Bone Collector

    Once per game, at night*, choose a dead player: they regain their ability until dusk.


    I collect many things. Hair. Teeth. Clothes. Fragments of poems. The dreams of lost lovers. My secret arts are not for you to know but my fee is a mere pittance. Bring me the blood of a noblewoman who died of heartbreak under a full moon, and you shall have your answers.

    "Once per game, at night*, choose a dead player: they regain their ability until dusk." The Bone Collector temporarily gives dead players their ability back. The Bone Collector must choose a dead player. The chosen player remains dead, but they get their ability to use. If their ability was a “you start knowing” or a “once per game” ability—such as the Virgin, Slayer, Clockmaker, Seamstress, or Juggler—they may use it again, even if it was already used, until dusk falls. When the Bone Collector chooses a player, that player does not learn they were selected by the Bone Collector, although they find out soon enough when they are woken to use their ability. If the Bone Collector dies, that player no longer has the ability they regained due to the Bone Collector.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Bone Collector. They either shake their head no or point at any dead player. Put the Bone Collector to sleep.
    2. If they pointed at a dead player, the chosen player regains their ability—mark their character token with the Bone Collector’s HAS ABILITY reminder. (They may need to be woken tonight to use their ability.) The Bone Collector loses their ability—mark them with their NO ABILITY reminder. The next dusk, the chosen player loses their ability—remove the HAS ABILITY reminder.

    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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.

    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

    1. 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.

    Sentinel

    There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play.


    Name, please. Papers, please. Weapons, please.

    "There might be 1 extra or 1 fewer Outsider in play." Add the Sentinel to your script to keep the number of Outsiders in play mysterious. The official character lists are carefully constructed so that the number of Outsiders is never completely known, which lets evil players safely bluff as Outsiders. Many of the games you create using the Script Tool will not have this luxury. If, for one reason or another, the number of Outsiders in a game will become certain, the Storyteller can add a Sentinel. This will confuse matters and help the evil team either bluff as Outsiders or make existing Outsiders look suspicious. Games with a Sentinel in play might have one more Outsider than normal. They may have one less. They may have the normal amount. It is up to the Storyteller.

    How to Run

    1. At the start of the game, declare that the Sentinel is in play. Add the Sentinel token to the Grimoire.
    2. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add an Outsider token and remove a Townsfolk token, remove an Outsider token and add a Townsfolk token, or do neither.

    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.

    Hell's Librarian

    Something bad might happen to whoever talks when the Storyteller has asked for silence.


    Shhhhhh. Please be quiet. It is best not to disturb the Librarian. I've heard it has a temper.

    "Something bad might happen to whoever talks when the Storyteller has asked for silence." Use the Hell’s Librarian to allow a softly-spoken Storyteller to be heard when needed. As the Storyteller, you’ll find the Hell’s Librarian useful when it is difficult to get the group’s attention. Maybe you need to explain a game rule? Or get attention for a crucial final-day vote? It can also be used to prevent players from talking about their characters before the game begins or from narrating what they are doing at night. Players instinctively stay quieter during the pre-game period and at night, so you may never need it. It is best to give the players fair warning before you bring the hammer down. Like the Angel, the threat of a mysterious penalty is more important than the actual penalty. The purpose of this character is to make games run smoothly, not to punish minor infringements.

    How to Run

    1. At any time, declare that the Hell’s Librarian is in play. Add the Hell’s Librarian token and their SOMETHING BAD reminder to the Grimoire.
    2. At any time, you can ask the group for silence for a particular period of time. Remind them that the Hell’s Librarian is in play if needed. If a player talks or otherwise interrupts and makes your job difficult during that time, you can let them know that something bad happens to them. You may need to mark their character token with the SOMETHING BAD reminder, to remind you that they are now poisoned, or mad, or can’t vote today, or simply as a reminder to decide on what to do later.

    Examples & Notes

    • Like the Angel, the “something bad” that might happen is up to you. However, it is recommended to either make the penalty that the player dies, that the player loses their ability for a day, or that the player may not vote for a day. A light penalty works much better than a severe one.

    Zenomancer

    One or more players each have a goal. When achieved, that player learns a piece of true info.


    The universe is a verb not a noun, they say, and it is turtles, turtles all the way down. Turtles all the way down, my friend, turtles all the way down.

    "One or more players each have a goal. When achieved, that player learns a piece of true info." The Zenomancer gives mini quests. One or more players may be given goals by the Storyteller. These goals are given privately. They may be given goals at the beginning of the game, or at some time during the game. Different players may be given goals at different times. A goal can be anything. It can be something to do with the game, or something beyond the game. The Storyteller is the judge of when a goal is achieved. When this happens, the player learns one piece of information about the game. This is true even if they are drunk or poisoned, since this is due to the Zenomancer, not their character. Goals may clash, or may not be achieved. Usually, 1 to 3 goals will be given throughout the game, and most goals will be given at the beginning of the game. Players may bluff that they have been given goals, or bluff that they have achieved a goal. Any player may be given a goal, even Travellers and dead players.

    How to Run

    1. At any time, communicate to a player that they have a goal. Either tell them privately, or wake them at night and show them a written note. Mark this player with the Zenomancer’s GOAL reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Add “...without telling anyone your goal” to make your goals more interesting. Most goals are more fun for the player if they are unable to communicate it.
