Notes

Bootlegger Rule 1: The drunk Village Idiot recieves arbitrary information even when a Vortox is in play. Bootlegger Rule 2: The Huntsman may use its ability each night, but if it selects a minion, it is drunk for the rest of the game. This is a quick script I put together with the intent of including Yaggababble, Vortox, Cerenovus, and Goblin, on a script, because I had thought of a few fun evil Amnesiac abilities that would only work with those aforementioned characters on the script. I also added Amnesiac, Bounty Hunter, and Boffin to allow for an evil Amnesiac ability. I included King/Choirboy and Hunstman/Damsel because I feel like I subconsciously tend to avoid these pairs when script-building, and wanted to break the habit. I have not playtested this script, but it seems like it'll be fun!

Townsfolk

Washerwoman

You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk.

Bloodstains on a dinner jacket? No, this is cooking sherry. How careless.

"You start knowing that 1 of 2 players is a particular Townsfolk." The Washerwoman learns that a specific Townsfolk is in play, but not who is playing them. During the first night, the Washerwoman is woken, shown two players, and learns the character of one of them. They learn this only once and then learn nothing more.

How to Run

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

Townsfolk

Clockmaker

You start knowing how many steps from the Demon to its nearest Minion.

Do not disturb me. The tick must continue, for the circle is a symbol of life and contains all things - all answers - in its divine machinery. I must work.

"You start knowing how many steps from the Demon to its nearest Minion." The Clockmaker learns the distance from the Demon to their nearest Minion. The Clockmaker only learns this on the first night. The distance is the number of seated players, starting from the player next to the Demon and ending at the nearest Minion, either clockwise or counterclockwise.

How to Run

During the first night, wake the Clockmaker. Show fingers (1, 2, etc.) equaling the distance in players from the Demon to the nearest Minion, starting with the player neighboring the Demon closer to that Minion. Put the Clockmaker to sleep.

Townsfolk

Bounty Hunter

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

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

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

How to Run

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

Townsfolk

Villageidiot3

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

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

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

How to Run

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

King

Each night, if the dead equal or outnumber the living, you learn 1 alive character. The Demon knows you are the King.

Betwixt the unknown strains of mortal strife / And morbid night, sweet with mystery and woe / Lies unfettered joys of fate’s long and colored life / Who’s garden blooms with each painted Face to Show.

"Each night, if the dead equal or outnumber the living, you learn 1 alive character. The Demon knows you are the King." The King learns which characters are still alive. The King gains this ability after a few nights have passed — once the dead players equal or outnumber the living. At the start of the game, the Demon learns who the King is. If a King is created mid-game, the Demon learns who the King is that night. The King may not survive long enough to use their ability. Once the number of dead players is equal to or greater than the number of alive players, the King learns one alive character each night. The King may learn good or evil characters, and may even learn the same character more than once. There may not be a Choirboy in play. But if there is, and they are still alive when the Demon kills the King, the Choirboy learns who the Demon is.

How to Run

During the first night, wake the Demon. Show them the THIS PLAYER IS info token, then the King token, then point at the King player. Put the Demon to sleep.
When the number of dead players equals or exceeds the number of alive players, add a night token to the King’s entry on the night sheet.
Each night, if the King has a night token on the night sheet, wake the King. Show one alive character token. Put the King to sleep.

Examples & Notes

Think carefully about what character tokens to show the King. Don’t be afraid to give great information. Most Kings will die before the final day. A King that lives to the final day will usually win, and that’s ok.

Townsfolk

Innkeeper

Each night*, choose 2 players: they can't die tonight, but 1 is drunk until dusk.

Come inside, fair traveller, and rest your weary bones. Drink and be merry, for the legions of the Dark One shall not harass thee tonight.

"Each night*, choose 2 players: they can't die tonight, but 1 is drunk until dusk." The Innkeeper protects people from death at night, but somebody gets drunk in the process. The Innkeeper, like the Monk, makes players safe from being killed by the Demon. They are also safe from death caused by Outsiders, Minions, Townsfolk, and Travellers. The Innkeeper only protects players at night, not the day. One of the two players that the Innkeeper chooses becomes drunk for tonight and the next day. This player may be good or evil, but will almost always be good, depending how your game is going. An Innkeeper that chooses themself might become drunk, which means they have no ability and may die tonight—and the other player they chose to protect isn’t safe either.

How to Run

Each night except the first, wake the Innkeeper. They point at any two players. Put the Innkeeper to sleep. Mark the two chosen players with SAFE reminders. One of the chosen players becomes drunk—mark them with the DRUNK reminder. The players marked SAFE cannot die tonight.
At dawn, remove the SAFE reminders.
At dusk, remove the DRUNK reminder.

Townsfolk

Gossip

Each day, you may make a public statement. Tonight, if it was true, a player dies.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah.

"Each day, you may make a public statement. Tonight, if it was true, a player dies." The Gossip deliberately speaks lies, in the hope of uncovering the truth. Each day, the Gossip may make a public statement. If this statement is true, the Storyteller kills a player that night. If it is false, then no players die due to the Gossip. Mumbled words, whispers, statements the Storyteller doesn’t know are true or false, or statements that someone cannot hear don’t count. Like the Slayer’s ability, the Storyteller and every player must be able to hear and understand the Gossip and be aware that the Gossip is using their ability in order for the Storyteller to judge what happens next. If the Gossip made a true statement during the day while drunk or poisoned, but is sober and healthy when their ability triggers that night, the Storyteller still kills a player.

How to Run

Each day, if the Gossip makes a definite, true public statement, put the Gossip’s DEAD reminder in the center of the left side of the Grimoire as a reminder to yourself to place it tonight.
Each night except the first, if the Gossip made a definite, true public statement today, you choose any player. The chosen player dies—mark them with the DEAD reminder.

Examples & Notes

When choosing a player to die due to the Gossip ability, we recommend that you choose a character that will actually die, not one protected from death by an ability (like the Fool or Tea Lady). The Gossip gains knowledge when their statement caused a death. This is more helpful to the good team, and more fun for everyone.

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

Huntsman

Once per game, at night, choose a living player: the Damsel, if chosen, becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk. [+the Damsel]

My cabin is warm and sturdy. My axe by the door, my boots drying by the fire, and elk stew a-simmering… Hark! A scream echoes through the valley! The rain and the mud and the cold, cold wind mask the scent of the wolves, but I know the path and my pace is steady. I am coming.

"Once per game, at night, choose a living player: the Damsel, if chosen, becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk. [+the Damsel]" The Huntsman saves the Damsel before the Minions find her... hopefully. The Damsel can be in play without the Huntsman. During the setup phase, if the Huntsman is in play and the Damsel isn’t, the Damsel is added. If a Damsel is already in play, the Huntsman doesn’t add a second Damsel. If the Huntsman correctly chooses the Damsel at night, the Damsel becomes a not-in-play Townsfolk immediately. The Storyteller chooses which Townsfolk character, and the Damsel learns which one. When the Damsel becomes a Townsfolk, they gain that Townsfolk ability and lose the Damsel ability. The Huntsman gets one guess, and makes it at night. The Minions get one guess in total, and make it publicly during the day. If a Minion guesses who the Damsel is, evil wins. If a Minion incorrectly guesses who the Damsel is, the guess is used, and other Minions cannot win by correctly guessing the Damsel. If the Damsel is drunk or poisoned but the Huntsman is sober and healthy, the Damsel can still become a Townsfolk.

How to Run

While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, if the Damsel is not already in play, remove a Townsfolk character token and add the Damsel character token.
Each night, wake the Huntsman.
If they shake their head no, put the Huntsman to sleep.
If they point to a player, put the Huntsman to sleep. The Huntsman loses their ability—mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder and remove their night token from the night sheet. If they chose the Damsel, wake the Damsel, show the YOU ARE info token, then a not-in-play Townsfolk token, then put the Damsel to sleep. The Damsel now has this Townsfolk ability, so replace the Damsel character token with this Townsfolk character token.

Townsfolk

Juggler

On your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct.

For my next trick, as per request, I will need a flower, a bag of beans, a toy snake, a paintbrush, and a motorized gasoline-powered hedge trimming device. I warn you, this trick may be my last. Oh dear.

"On your 1st day, publicly guess up to 5 players' characters. That night, you learn how many you got correct." The Juggler takes the risk of convincing people to reveal their characters on the 1st day, in the hope of guessing as many as possible that are telling the truth. On the first day, they may guess which players are which characters. That night, the Juggler learns how many guesses they got right...if they are not killed beforehand. They must make their guesses publicly, so everyone hears what is guessed. They may guess zero characters, or up to five characters, and these characters and players may be different or the same. If the Juggler made their guesses while drunk or poisoned, but is sober and healthy when their ability triggers that night, then the Storyteller still gives them true information.

How to Run

During the first day, if the Juggler declares that they are using their ability, then you enter the circle, holding the Grimoire. The Juggler can make up to five guesses, each of any one player and any one character. For each correct guess, mark the Juggler with a CORRECT reminder. (Make sure the players don’t see how many reminders you’re placing.)
That night, wake the Juggler. Show them fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of CORRECT reminders. Put the Juggler to sleep. Remove the CORRECT reminders and the Juggler’s night token when convenient.

Examples & Notes

If the Juggler is guessing too fast, prompt them to slow down.
If an evil player is bluffing as the Juggler, it can help their bluff if you pretend to move tokens around the Grimoire as they make their fake guesses.

Townsfolk

Cannibal

You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution.

I don’t like clowns. They taste funny.

"You have the ability of the recently killed executee. If they are evil, you are poisoned until a good player dies by execution." The Cannibal eats executed characters, gaining their ability. If a good player dies by execution, the Cannibal gains that player’s ability. If an evil player dies by execution, the Cannibal only thinks that they gain an ability, since the Cannibal is poisoned. The Storyteller may be lying to them. Each time a player dies by execution, the Cannibal loses the ability of the previous player. Executing a dead player won’t grant the Cannibal an ability. Executing a living player who doesn’t die won’t grant the Cannibal an ability. A player must be executed and die for the Cannibal to gain their ability. The Cannibal is not told which ability they have gained. They must figure that out for themselves. If the Cannibal has an “even if dead” ability, such as the Recluse, or an ability that implies it works while dead, such as the Ravenkeeper or Sweetheart, the Cannibal keeps that ability when they die, but loses their Cannibal ability.

How to Run

If a good player dies by execution, mark them with the LUNCH reminder, and remove the Cannibal’s POISONED reminder if necessary. The Cannibal now has this good player’s ability (do not say which), and will wake at night when this good character would normally wake.
If an evil player dies by execution, mark them with the LUNCH reminder and mark the Cannibal with the POISONED reminder. The Cannibal is poisoned. You may wake them when this evil character would normally wake, and pretend that they have a new ability.

Examples & Notes

Pay attention to which character each evil player is bluffing as. If they are executed, then their bluffed ability is the best one to pretend that the Cannibal has gained.

Townsfolk

Amnesiac

You do not know what your ability is. Each day, privately guess what it is: you learn how accurate you are.

Wait. What. Who? Oh, ok. Wait. What?

"You do not know what your ability is. Each day, privately guess what it is: you learn how accurate you are." The Amnesiac doesn’t know their own ability. The Storyteller decides what the Amnesiac’s ability is. It may be the same ability as another character in Blood On The Clocktower, something similar, or something original. The Amnesiac may wake at any time during the night to learn information or to choose a player, or their ability may be passive—not requiring action from the Amnesiac player. Each day, the Amnesiac talks to the Storyteller in private, and makes a guess as to what their ability is. The Storyteller answers “cold” if the guess is very wrong, “warm” if the guess is on the right track, “hot” if the guess is very close, and “bingo” if the guess is spot on. Their guess may be specific, such as “Am I learning two players each night that are the same alignment?”, or vague, such as “Is my ability something to do with dead players?”

How to Run

During setup, decide what ability the Amnesiac player has. During the game, treat that player as if they had that ability, waking them when needed, prompting them to choose players when needed, or whatever else is appropriate. Use the Amnesiac’s ? reminders if you need to.
Each day, the Amnesiac makes a guess about their ability in private. Answer “Cold”, “Warm”, “Hot", or “Bingo”.

Examples & Notes

Make the Amnesiac’s ability guessable, so that the Amnesiac can figure out what their ability is over time. Learning a piece of information each night, or a power that affects the game in a way that the Amnesiac notices, are both good ideas.
If the Amnesiac guesses their ability, but the wording is different, still tell them they guessed correctly.
You can make the Amnesiac’s ability slightly better than a normal Townsfolk’s ability. Not knowing what it is, the player will need to work harder to receive its full benefit.

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

Drunk

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

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

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

How to Run

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

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

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

During the first night, wake each Minion. Show the Damsel token. Put each Minion to sleep.
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.
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.

Minion

Devil's Advocate

Each night, choose a living player (different to last night): if executed tomorrow, they don't die.

My client, should the objection be overruled, pleads innocent by virtue of the prosecution's non-observance of statute 27.B - incorrect or misleading conjugation of a verb. The fact that nine of the jury died last night is simply prima facie, which is, as Wills vs Thule set precedent for, further reason to acquit.

"Each night, choose a living player (different to last night): if executed tomorrow, they don't die." The Devil's Advocate saves players from execution. Each night, the Devil’s Advocate chooses a player to protect from death by execution. The next day, if that player is executed, the execution succeeds but the player remains alive. The Devil’s Advocate cannot choose the same player two nights in a row, whether or not that player was saved from execution today, and they cannot choose a Zombuul that registers as dead.

How to Run

Each night, wake the Devil’s Advocate. They point at any player. Put the Devil’s Advocate to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the SURVIVES EXECUTION reminder.
If a player marked SURVIVES EXECUTION is executed, declare that the player was executed but remains alive. (Do not say why.)

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

Goblin

If you publicly claim to be the Goblin when nominated & are executed that day, your team wins.

You don’t want to insult the goblins. You really, really don’t. On a completely different note… can I have another piece of cake?

"If you publicly claim to be the Goblin when nominated & are executed that day, your team wins." The Goblin takes revenge if the town knowingly executes them. If the Goblin is executed, evil wins. ...but for this to happen the Goblin needs to tell the group that they are the Goblin when they are nominated, but before votes happen, and to do so in a way that everyone hears. The good players need to know the risk. If the Goblin is executed without telling the group that they are the Goblin when nominated, the Goblin dies and the game continues as normal. The Goblin must have claimed to be the Goblin today for their ability to work. Telling the group yesterday, or even every previous day, doesn't count. Any player may claim to be the Goblin when nominated.

How to Run

If the Goblin claims to be the Goblin when nominated (and before voting begins), declare that this player has claimed to be the Goblin, so that all the group hears. Put the CLAIMED reminder by the Goblin token.
If the Goblin is executed, and they are marked CLAIMED, then declare that evil wins.

Examples & Notes

If a non-Goblin player claims to be the Goblin when nominated, act as if they are the Goblin. Declare to the group that they have claimed to be the Goblin and pretend to move a reminder token in the Grimoire.

Minion

Boffin

The Demon (even if drunk or poisoned) has a not-in-play good character’s ability. You both know which.

Stellar hydrogen, vast, inert; carbon, oxygen, neon gases, all ruined. Molecular chaos, entropy, yields new cosmic phenomena, rebirth from atomic chaos, dense matter collapsing. All in a teeny little bottle.

"The Demon (even if drunk or poisoned) has a not-in-play good character's ability. You both know which." The Boffin replicates a good ability. While the Boffin is alive, the Demon has a single Townsfolk ability or Outsider ability. If the Demon is drunk or poisoned, the Demon keeps this good ability. If the Boffin is drunk or poisoned, the Demon temporarily loses this good ability. If the Demon dies and has an ability that functions while dead, such as the Sweetheart, the Demon keeps this ability. If a new Demon is created, such as via a Scarlet Woman or a Barber, this new Demon has an ability from the Boffin. This ability may be different to the previous Demon's ability. If there are multiple Demons alive, only one alive Demon has an ability from the Boffin. If the Demon has an ability that modifies the setup, such as a Choirboy, these changes are made during setup, as normal. Both the Demon and the Boffin learn which good ability the Demon has. The Storyteller may wake these players independently, or together. The not-in-play character may be 1 of the Demon's 3 bluffs. The Demon also wakes at night at the time that the good character would normally wake.

How to Run

While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, make any changes that are indicated in brackets on the Demon's two character abilities. Afterwards, place this second character token by the Demon character token.
During the 1st night, wake the Boffin and the Demon. Show the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, then the Boffin token, then the good character token. Place this second character token by the Demon character token.
Treat the Demon player as if they had this character ability, as well as their own Demon ability.

Examples & Notes

Good abilities that would drunk/poison themselves, such as the Sailor, only drunk/poison the Demon's good ability.

Demon

Yaggababble

You start knowing a secret phrase. For each time you said it publicly today, a player might die.

Murders inside the Rue Morgue? Фальшивые новости! Hounds on the Baskerville moor? Фальшивые новости! Death while sailing the Nile? Фальшивые новости!

"You start knowing a secret phrase. For each time you said it publicly today, a player might die." The Yaggababble kills by talking. The phrase that the Yaggababble says can be any length, but is usually 2 to 5 words long. If the Yaggababble says this phrase, the Storyteller may kill a player any time afterwards, until dawn. The Yaggababble may say this phrase as a standalone sentence, or part of another sentence. The Yaggababble may say this phrase multiple times per day. If so, the Storyteller may kill multiple players. The Storyteller chooses which players die. The Storyteller may choose to kill fewer players than the number of times the phrase was said. If the Yaggababble is drunk or poisoned, players cannot die, even if the Yaggababble was sober and healthy when they said their phrase. If the Yaggababble is sober and healthy, players might die, even if the Yaggababble was drunk or poisoned when they said their phrase. It is rare for the Yaggababble to kill during the day.

How to Run

During setup, write a phrase on a piece of paper, or on a phone.
During the first night, wake the Demon. Show this phrase, then put them to sleep.
Each time Demon says the secret phrase, put a DEAD reminder in the centre of the left side of the Grimoire, as a reminder to yourself to place it tonight.
Each night, you may mark players with these DEAD reminders, and add a shroud to each marked player. These players die.

Examples & Notes

Choose a phrase that is fairly plain. If the Demon has an unusual phrase each day, they will likely die or say it rarely. If the Demon has a common, believable phrase, they will likely say it each day, perhaps more than once each day.

Demon

Po

Each night*, you may choose a player: they die. If your last choice was no-one, choose 3 players tonight.

Would you like a flower? I'm so lonely.

"Each night*, you may choose a player: they die. If your last choice was no-one, choose 3 players tonight." The Po can choose to attack nobody at night, but goes on a rampage the following night. The Po attacks one player per night, like many other Demons. However, if the Po chooses to attack nobody, then they may attack three players the following night. If the Po was drunk or poisoned when they chose nobody last night, they still choose three players tonight. A Po must choose three players when prompted to do so. They cannot choose no one again. The Po only gets three attacks if they chose nobody. The Po does not get three attacks if they chose to attack someone the previous night, but that player did not die. The Po doesn’t act on the first night, but this night does not count as a night where the Po “chose no one.” If the Exorcist selects the Po, the Po does not act, but this night does not count as a night where the Po “chose no one.” However, if the Po chose no one the night before the Exorcist chose the Po, the Po chooses three players the night after the Exorcist chose the Po, because their last choice was no one.

How to Run

Each night except the first, wake the Po. They either shake their head no or point at any player. Put the Po to sleep. If they shook their head no, mark the Po with the 3 ATTACKS reminder. If they chose a player, that player dies—mark them with a DEAD reminder.
If the Po wakes to act while marked 3 ATTACKS, they point at any three players, one at a time. In the order chosen, each chosen player dies—mark them with DEAD reminders. Remove the 3 ATTACKS reminder.

Demon

Vortox

Each night*, choose a player: they die. Townsfolk abilities yield false info. Each day, if no-one is executed, evil wins.

Black is White. Right is Wrong. Left is Right. Up is Long. Down is Sight. Short is Blind. Follow me. Answers find.

"Each night*, choose a player: they die. Townsfolk abilities yield false info. Each day, if no-one is executed, evil wins." The Vortox makes all information false. Anytime a Townsfolk player gets information from their ability, they get false information. Even if they are drunk or poisoned, it must be false. The Vortox does not affect information gained by other means, such as when the Storyteller explains the rules, or when a player’s character or alignment changes. When night falls, if nobody was executed today, evil wins. Exiling a Traveller does not count.

How to Run

While the Vortox is alive, you must give false information whenever a Townsfolk ability prompts you to give information.
Each night except the first, wake the Vortox. They point at any player. That player dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder. Put the Vortox to sleep.
Each dusk, if no player was executed today, the game ends and the evil team wins.

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.)

Loric

Bootlegger

This script has homebrew characters or rules.

When I was born, I was named ‘Homebrewy McHomebrewface’, like my father before me. A respectable name, for a dignified age.

"This script has homebrew characters or rules." Add the Bootlegger to include homebrew characters or rules. The Bootlegger allows Storytellers to use characters they, or others, have created that are not official characters or allows them to use non-standard rules in the game. If there are homebrew characters on the character sheet, or homebrew rules in effect, the Storyteller tells all players what they are before play begins. The Bootlegger allows for multiple characters or rules to be in effect at once. As long as there is at least one homebrew character on the current script, this Loric will be in play and can only be removed by switching to a script that does not contain any homebrew characters. The Bootlegger is designed for use in the official app only. Bootlegger, despite many claims to the contrary, defeated Homebrewy McHomebrewface, “the people’s choice”, in a hotly contested poll to decide the Loric's name.

How to Run

At the start of the game, if there are homebrew characters on the character sheet or you are running homebrew rules, declare that the Bootlegger is in play and inform the group of all the homebrew characters and/or rules you are using in this game.
