Basics in Behaviour

Almanac · Nyctophonik · 30 characters

Notes

Basics in Behaviour is a script designed to be an introduction to the character Legion. Good has a wide variety of tools at their disposal to try and figure out if it is a Legion game, and who is Legion in that game - such as the Empath or the Undertaker. However, the Outsiders, Minions, and Demons all serve to cover for Legion in one way or another. The Fang Gu can move the Demon, as can the Scarlet Woman. The No Dashii, Widow, and Sweetheart cause drunkenness and poisoning and can be bluffed or used as cover for Legions. Each Outsider can be devastating to Good in a Legion game, or serve as amazing cover for Legions out of their depth. These options naturally help smooth players into working with and around the possibility of Legion in-play. As a Storyteller, these tools can also be combined with characters like the Savant - as well as the script's limited options for causing different numbers of deaths - to balance the game. Both sides best be prepared for the unexpected!

Townsfolk

Librarian

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

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

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

How to Run

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

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

Empath

Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil.

My skin prickles. Something is not right here. I can feel it.

"Each night, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil." The Empath keeps learning if their living neighbours are good or evil. The Empath only learns how many of their neighbours are evil, not which one is evil. The Empath does not detect dead players. So, if the Empath is sitting next to a dead player, they do not get info about that dead player. Instead, they get info about the closest alive player in that direction. The Empath acts after the Demon, so if the Demon kills one of the Empath's alive neighbours, the Empath does not learn about the now-dead player. The Empath's information is accurate at dawn, not at dusk.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Empath. Show them fingers (0, 1, or 2) equaling the number of evil players neighbouring the Empath. Put the Empath to sleep.

Townsfolk

Balloonist

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

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

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

How to Run

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

Townsfolk

Mathematician

Each night, you learn how many players’ abilities worked abnormally (since dawn) due to another character's ability.

Any consistent formal system x, within which a certain amount of elementary arithmetic can be carried out is incomplete; that is, there are statements of the language of x which can neither be proved nor disproved in x. Ergo, you are drunk.

"Each night, you learn how many players' abilities worked abnormally (since dawn) due to another character's ability." The Mathematician knows how many things have gone wrong since dawn today. When an ability does not work in the intended way due to another character's interference, the Mathematician will learn that it happened. They'll learn that something went wrong if a piece of information was false but was supposed to be true, or if an ability should have worked but didn't, due to another character. The Mathematician does not learn which players this happened to, only how many times it happened. The Mathematician does not detect their own ability failing. The Mathematician does not detect drunkenness or poisoning itself, but does detect when drunk or poisoned players' abilities did not work as intended. The Recluse registering as evil to the Chef, and the poisoned Soldier dying from the Imp's attack, would each be detected. The poisoned Empath getting true information would not.

How to Run

Each time a character's ability works abnormally due to another character's ability, mark them with an ABNORMAL reminder.
Each night, wake the Mathematician. Show fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of characters with ABNORMAL reminders. Put the Mathematician to sleep. Remove all ABNORMAL reminders.

Townsfolk

Undertaker

Each night*, you learn which character died by execution today.

Hmmm....what have we here? The left boot is worn down to the heel, with flint shavings under the tongue. This is the garb of a Military man.

"Each night*, you learn which character died by execution today." The Undertaker learns which character was executed today. The player must have died from execution for the Undertaker to learn who they are. Deaths during the day for other reasons, such as the Gunslinger choosing a player to kill, or the exile of a Traveller, do not count. The Undertaker wakes each night except the first, as there have been no executions yet. If nobody died today, the Undertaker learns nothing. The Storyteller either does not wake the Undertaker at night, or wakes them but does not show a token. If the Drunk is executed, the Undertaker is shown the Drunk character token, not the token for the Townsfolk that the Drunk player thought they were.

How to Run

If a player dies by execution, put the Undertaker's DIED TODAY reminder token by the dead player's character token.
Each night except the first, if any player died by execution today, wake the Undertaker. Show the character token marked DIED TODAY to the Undertaker. Put the Undertaker to sleep. Remove the Undertaker's reminder token when convenient.
In Trouble Brewing, there can only be one execution per day, and every execution causes a player to die. In other editions, there may be more than one execution per day (in which case the Storyteller chooses which character to show the Undertaker) or the execution does not cause a death (in which case the Undertaker learns nothing).

Townsfolk

Gambler

Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die.

Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

"Each night*, choose a player & guess their character: if you guess wrong, you die." The Gambler can guess who is who... but pays the ultimate price if they guess wrong. Each night except the first, the Gambler chooses a player and guesses their character by pointing to its icon on the character sheet. If the guess is correct, nothing happens. If the guess is incorrect, the Gambler dies. The Gambler does not learn from the Storyteller whether their guess is correct or incorrect. The Gambler may choose any player, dead or alive, even themself.

How to Run

Each night except the first, wake the Gambler. They point at any player, then point at any character icon on their character sheet. Put the Gambler to sleep. If the chosen player is a different character from the chosen character icon, the Gambler dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.

Townsfolk

Savant

Each day, you may visit the Storyteller to learn 2 things in private: 1 is true & 1 is false.

Seventy-two matchsticks on the floor... the sun sets early but the moon is unchanged... a torn piece of cloth... evil in the manor house... three by three... the one we trusted is not what he seems... green light means magnesium... residue, but the pattern is wrong... Seventy-two matchsticks on the floor...

"Each day, you may visit the Storyteller to learn 2 things in private: 1 is true & 1 is false." The Savant gets crazy, amazing information that is different every day and every game, but exactly half of it is completely false. Each day, the Storyteller chooses two pieces of information to give the Savant... so get creative! One must be true, and one must be false, and the Savant won’t know which is which. It is up to the Savant to talk with the Storyteller, not the other way around. This isn’t a public conversation, and the group can’t listen in. It’s private. The Savant can choose to not visit the Storyteller if they wish. A drunk or poisoned Savant might get two pieces of true information or two pieces of false information.

How to Run

Once per day, if the Savant requests a private chat with you, take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. Whisper two pieces of information, one true and one false, to the Savant. (If you cannot think of two straight away, either take your time or ask them to come back in a few minutes.)

Examples & Notes

Keep the information you give helpful and related to the game. Avoid saying who exactly the Demon is, or it could be a very short game. If you need help on choosing what to say, give information similar to what Townsfolk abilities would provide.

Townsfolk

Fisherman

Once per game, during the day, visit the Storyteller for some advice to help your team win.

This was my favourite part of the river... see how the sunlight makes a rainbow from the monastery to the market? This was the best place for big fish. And the older I get, the bigger they were.

"Once per game, during the day, visit the Storyteller for some advice to help your team win." The Fisherman knows something that nobody else can know: what should be done. The Fisherman player chooses when to use their ability. When they visit the Storyteller, the Storyteller chooses what piece of advice to give the Fisherman. The Storyteller’s pieces of advice are not necessarily “facts”. They are strategy tips that the Storyteller believes will help the Fisherman win, if they are followed. If the Fisherman is drunk or poisoned, the Storyteller may give the Fisherman bad advice.

How to Run

Once per game, the Fisherman will ask to use their ability. In private, give them once piece of advice to help them win. Then, put the No ability reminder by the Fisherman token.

Examples & Notes

It is best to give the Fisherman advice on what to DO, not just information about what IS. This makes the Fisherman more fun and unique.
Eg. Saying “You should execute that player” or “Keep this player alive” or “find out who is drunk” or “change your thinking entirely” or “ignore the Minions” or “trust this player” are much more interesting than saying “this player is evil” or “the Demon is a No Dashii”.

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.

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

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.

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

Tinker

You might die at any time.

I think I see the problem. Luckily, I have an idea! This catapult will shoot twice as far with just a minor adjustment...

"You might die at any time." The Tinker can die at any time, for no reason. The Storyteller may kill the Tinker at any time. The Tinker cannot die from their ability while protected from death, as normal.

How to Run

At any time, you may decide that the Tinker dies. If this is during the day, immediately declare that the Tinker has died. If this is during the night, mark the Tinker with the DEAD reminder and wait until dawn to declare which players died during the night. (Do not say how.)

Examples & Notes

While you may kill the Tinker out of the blue during the day, it is most interesting if the Tinker dies at night, because the players will be wondering whether the Tinker died due to their ability or for some other reason.
You can choose to never kill the Tinker. This makes the Tinker look really suspicious.
We recommend that you never kill the Tinker when it would end the game. Players should win or lose by their own efforts, not Storyteller fiat.

Outsider

Recluse

You might register as evil & as a Minion or Demon, even if dead.

Garn git ya darn grub ya mitts ofma lorn yasee. Grr. Natsy pikkins yonder southwise ye begittin afta ya! Git! Me harvy no so widda licks and demmons no be fightin' hadsup ne'er ma kin. Git, assay!

"You might register as evil & as a Minion or Demon, even if dead." The Recluse might appear to be an evil character, but is actually good. Whenever the Recluse's alignment is detected, the Storyteller chooses whether the Recluse registers as good or evil. Whenever the Recluse is targeted by an ability that affects specific Minions or Demons, the Storyteller chooses whether the Recluse registers as that specific Minion or Demon. The Recluse may register as either good or evil, or as an Outsider, Minion, or Demon, at different parts of the same night. The Storyteller chooses whatever is most interesting. A Recluse that registers as a particular Minion or Demon does not have this character's ability. For example, a Recluse that registers as a Poisoner does not wake at night and cannot poison a player.

How to Run

Each time the Recluse is targeted by an ability that detects or affects evil characters, choose which character and alignment the Recluse registers as. (Do whatever is appropriate, such as showing an evil character token, nodding, giving finger signals, or allowing an ability to work that would normally only affect evil, Minion, or Demon players.)

Minion

Godfather

You start knowing which Outsiders are in play. If 1 died today, choose a player tonight: they die. [-1 or +1 Outsider]

Normally, it's just business. But when you insult my daughter, you insult me. And when you insult me, you insult my family. You really should be more careful - it would be a shame if you had an unfortunate accident.

"You start knowing which Outsiders are in play. If 1 died today, choose a player tonight: they die. [-1 or +1 Outsider]" The Godfather takes revenge when the town kills Outsiders. Whenever an Outsider is executed and dies, the Godfather chooses one player to die that night. The Godfather only kills if an Outsider dies during the day. Outsiders that die at night don’t count. If the Godfather is in play, this adds or removes one Outsider from play. At the start of the game, the Godfather learns which Outsiders are in play. If two Outsiders died today, the Godfather still only kills one player tonight.

How to Run

While setting up the game, before putting the character tokens in the bag, either remove one Townsfolk and add one Outsider or remove one Outsider and add one Townsfolk.
During the first night, wake the Godfather. Show them the character tokens of all Outsiders in play. Put the Godfather to sleep.
If an Outsider dies during the day, mark them with the DIED TODAY reminder. That night, wake the Godfather. They point at any player. Put the Godfather to sleep. The chosen player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.

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

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

Each night except the first, wake the Assassin. They either shake their head no or point at any player. Put the Assassin to sleep.
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.)

Minion

Scarlet Woman

If there are 5 or more players alive & the Demon dies, you become the Demon. (Travellers don't count.)

You have shown me the secrets of the Council of the Purple Flame. We have lain together in fire and in lust and in beastly commune, and I am forever your servant. But tonight, my dear, I am your master.

"If there are 5 or more players alive & the Demon dies, you become the Demon. (Travellers don't count.)" The Scarlet Woman becomes the Demon when the Demon dies. If there are five or more players just before the Demon dies—that is, four or more players left alive after the Demon dies—then the Scarlet Woman immediately becomes the Demon, and the game continues as if nothing happened. Travellers do not count as players when seeing if the Scarlet Woman's ability triggers. If less than five players are alive when the Demon is executed, then the game ends and good wins. If five or more players are alive when the Imp kills themself at night, the Scarlet Woman must become the new Imp. If the Scarlet Woman becomes the Demon, they are that Demon in every way. Good wins if they are executed. They attack each night. They register as the Demon.

How to Run

If the Demon dies and there were five or more alive players immediately before the Demon died, replace the Scarlet Woman token with a spare Imp token, changing that player's character from the Scarlet Woman into the Imp. (They are now the Demon and have the Imp's ability. If they die, good wins.)
That night, wake the new Imp, show them the YOU ARE info token, then show them the Imp token.
In Trouble Brewing, there is only one Demon—the Imp. In other editions, there are multiple possible Demons. If the Scarlet Woman becomes the Demon, they become the same type of Demon that died, and they gain this Demon's ability. When this happens, mark the Scarlet Woman with the IS THE DEMON reminder and refer to that Demon's "How to Run" instructions.

Demon

Fang Gu

Each night*, choose a player: they die. The 1st Outsider this kills becomes an evil Fang Gu & you die instead. [+1 Outsider]

Your walls and your weapons are but smoke in dreams.

"Each night*, choose a player: they die. The 1st Outsider this kills becomes an evil Fang Gu & you die instead. [+1 Outsider]" The Fang Gu possesses Outsiders. The first time a Fang Gu attacks and kills an Outsider, the Fang Gu dies, and the Outsider becomes a Fang Gu and turns evil. This can only happen once per game. If the new Fang Gu attacks an Outsider, the Outsider dies as normal. The new Fang Gu counts as the Demon, and good wins if they die. They do not learn which players are Minions. There is an extra Outsider in play. If the Fang Gu attacks an Outsider but that Outsider does not die, that Outsider does not become an evil Fang Gu and the Fang Gu does not die.

How to Run

While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add one extra Outsider character token and remove one Townsfolk character token.
Each night except the first, wake the Fang Gu. They point at any player. Put the Fang Gu to sleep.
If the chosen player is not an Outsider, that player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.
If the chosen player is an Outsider and the ONCE reminder is in the center of the Grimoire, that player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.
If the chosen player is an Outsider and the ONCE reminder is not in the centre of the Grimoire, the Fang Gu dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder. Wake the chosen Outsider. Show them the YOU ARE info token, then the Fang Gu token, then the YOU ARE info token, then a thumbs-down. Change their character to a Fang Gu—swap their character token with the spare Fang Gu token. They become evil. Put the new Fang Gu to sleep. Put the ONCE reminder in the center of the Grimoire. (Unlike “Once per game” abilities, this reminder stays there for the rest of the game. Don’t remove it, even if the Fang Gu dies or changes character.)

Demon

Legion12

Each night*, a player might die. Executions fail if only evil voted. You register as a Minion too. [Most players are Legion]

우리는 겨울날의 차가운 바람이다. 우리는 달 없는 밤의 그림자다. 우리는 네 찻잔 속 독이며, 네 귓가의 속삭임이다. 우리는 어디에나 있다.

"매일 밤*, 플레이어 1명이 죽을 수도 있습니다. 악 플레이어만 투표했다면 처형은 실패합니다. 당신은 하수인으로도 판정됩니다. [대부분의 플레이어는 군단입니다]" 군단은 여러 명의 악마입니다. 권장되는 선과 악의 인원 수는 보통과 정반대입니다. 예를 들어 10인 게임이라면, 대략 군단 7명과 선 플레이어 3명 정도로 구성됩니다. 군단이 아닌 플레이어들은 마을주민과 외지인이 어떤 비율이든 섞여 있을 수 있습니다. 지명에 적어도 선 플레이어 1명이 투표했고, 그 결과 누군가가 죽기 직전이 되었다면 처형은 평소처럼 진행됩니다. 반대로 악 플레이어만 투표했다면, 그 지명의 투표 수는 0표로 취급됩니다. 각 군단 플레이어는 악마이면서 동시에 하수인으로도 판정됩니다. 밤마다 누가 죽을지는 이야기꾼이 정합니다. 살아 있는 선 플레이어가 단 한 명만 남았다면, 선은 더 이상 이길 수 없으므로 이야기꾼은 악의 승리를 선언할 수 있습니다. 이야기꾼은 군단 플레이어들에게 허풍용 캐릭터를 주지 않기로 결정할 수도 있습니다.

How to Run

첫날 밤 악마 정보 단계에서, 모든 군단 플레이어가 서로 눈을 마주치게 하세요. 필요하다면 군단이 아닌 플레이어들을 손으로 가리켜 군단이 누가 선인지 알 수 있게 해도 됩니다.
첫날 밤을 제외한 매일 밤, 플레이어 1명이 죽도록 정할 수 있습니다.
투표를 셀 때는 평소처럼 큰 소리로 수를 세세요. 누군가가 죽기 직전이 될 만큼 표가 나왔더라도 악 플레이어만 투표했다면, 그 지명의 투표 수는 0표라고 선언하세요.

Examples & Notes

대부분의 밤에는 선 플레이어보다 군단 플레이어를 죽이는 편이 좋습니다. 선 플레이어를 죽이면 보통 악 팀에 너무 유리해집니다. 목표는 생존자가 3명 남는 상황, 즉 선 2명과 군단 1명이 남는 구도를 만드는 것입니다. 마지막 날에 플레이어들이 처형하지 않았다면, 그날 밤 선 플레이어 1명을 죽여 악이 승리하게 하세요.
플레이어들이 "정말 0표가 되는지 시험해 보겠다"며 서로에게 투표를 강요한다면, 0표 지명도 성공한 것처럼 선언하되 실제로는 누가 진짜 죽기 직전인지 비밀리에 기록해 둘 수도 있습니다. 군단의 곧 죽음 알림을 표시해 두었다가 지명 단계가 끝난 뒤 그 플레이어를 처형하면, 군단 게임 특유의 미스터리와 긴장감을 더 잘 살릴 수 있습니다.

Demon

No Dashii

Each night*, choose a player: they die. Your 2 Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned.

By the sins of Arnoch, I feel thy laden stench. By the curs-ed sun and her foul legion of tiny grinning gods, I corrupt thee. By the blessed night and the hidden depths of the horrid and unholy sea, I end thy squalid life upon this plane.

"Each night*, choose a player: they die. Your 2 Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned." The No Dashii poisons their neighboring Townsfolk. The No Dashii’s closest clockwise and counterclockwise Townsfolk neighbors are poisoned, regardless of whether they are alive or dead. If a No Dashii dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those two players become healthy. Two Townsfolk players will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. If a new player becomes the No Dashii, or a poisoned Townsfolk changes into a non-Townsfolk character, the players who are poisoned may change immediately based on who the neighbors of the No Dashii are.

How to Run

While preparing the first night, the two Townsfolk neighboring the No Dashii become poisoned - mark them with POISONED reminders.
If a Townsfolk poisoned by the No Dashii becomes a non-Townsfolk character, or the No Dashii turns into a different character, or if a new player becomes the No Dashii, the new neighbors of the No Dashii become poisoned, and the old neighbors become healthy - move the No Dashii’s POISONED reminders immediately if needed.
Each night except the first, wake the No Dashii. They point at any player. That player dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the No Dashii to sleep.

Traveller

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.

Traveller

Bishop

Only the Storyteller can nominate. At least 1 opposing player must be nominated each day.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti… Nos mos Dei. Deus vult de nobis.

"Only the Storyteller can nominate. At least 1 opposing player must be nominated each day." The Bishop prevents players from nominating at all. Instead, the Storyteller does all nominating. The Storyteller makes nominations during the nomination process instead of the players, and the Storyteller may nominate as few or as many players as they wish. To make things fair, they must nominate at least one player whose alignment is opposite the Bishop’s alignment each day. The Bishop does not alter who can and cannot vote. Each player may do so normally. Since Travellers are exiled, not executed, any player may call for the Bishop or another Traveller to be exiled.

How to Run

Each dawn, mark the good Bishop with their NOMINATE EVIL reminder, or mark the evil Bishop with their NOMINATE GOOD reminder.
During the nomination process for execution, the players cannot make nominations, but you can. (Voting happens as normal.) When you nominate a player whose alignment is opposite the alignment of the Bishop, remove the Bishop’s reminder. You cannot end the nomination process if the Bishop is marked with their reminder.

Examples & Notes

Usually, you’ll want to nominate about three to five players each day, with at least one of them being evil. You do not have to nominate the Demon each day, but you should nominate all alive players on the final day. Which players you nominate is up to you, but it’s best to nominate more evil players if the Bishop is good, and to nominate fewer evil players if the Bishop is evil.

Traveller

Gunslinger

Each day, after the 1st vote has been tallied, you may choose a player that voted: they die.

It's time someone took matters into their own hands. That someone... is me.

"Each day, after the 1st vote has been tallied, you may choose a player that voted: they die." The Gunslinger kills players who vote. Each day, after the first vote for execution has been tallied, the Gunslinger may publicly choose a player that just voted to die immediately. The Gunslinger does not have to kill a player—it is entirely up to them. Whether they use their ability or not, the Gunslinger cannot kill any further players that day. It is the Gunslinger’s responsibility to speak up and let the Storyteller know that they wish to use their ability. Since exiles are not affected by character abilities in any way, the Gunslinger cannot use their ability to kill a player that supports an exile.

How to Run

Each day, immediately after the first vote for execution is tallied, the Gunslinger can declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, the Gunslinger points at any player who voted for this execution. The chosen player dies.

Examples & Notes

If the Gunslinger is a new player, you may wish to remind them that they can use their ability.
When the Gunslinger wants to use their ability, you may need to ask all players who voted to raise their hand again, so the Gunslinger doesn’t accidentally choose a player that didn’t vote.

Traveller

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.

Traveller

Scapegoat

If a player of your alignment is executed, you might be executed instead.

Good evening! Thank you for inviting me to the ball. I'm not from around here, but you sure seem like a friendly bunch, by golly. I'm sure we'll get along just dandy. What's all that rope for?

"If a player of your alignment is executed, you might be executed instead." The Scapegoat is executed instead of an ally. If the Scapegoat is evil, they might die instead of an evil player dying. If the Scapegoat is good, they might die instead of a good player dying. When exactly this happens is up to the Storyteller. This can only happen due to an execution, not death by other means such as a Demon or Slayer. The Scapegoat being killed still counts as an execution, so no more nominations occur today. As always, players do not learn the alignment of the Scapegoat when they die.

How to Run

If a player of the same alignment as the Scapegoat would be executed, you may choose that the Scapegoat is executed instead. The Scapegoat dies.

Examples & Notes

It is best to use the Scapegoat’s ability before the final day, because a Scapegoat that remains alive on the final day will almost certainly be exiled. You should always use an evil Scapegoat’s ability to prevent evil from losing the game.

Fabled

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

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.)
Follow the Djinn instructions as listed on the Script Tool printout.
