    Notes

    The new demon pairs nicely with Kazali and Legion. All three make outsider count arbitrary and mostly give bluffs to all evil players. We've got some evil finders for making worlds for both good and evil. We've got good roles that want to obfuscate their identity as well as public claiming like juggler. The spy and recluse help create different worlds with misregistration.

    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.
  3. Townsfolk

    Chef

    You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are.


    This evening's reservations seem odd. Never before has Mrs. Mayweather kept company with that scamp from Hudson Lane. Yet, tonight, they have a table for two. Strange.

    "You start knowing how many pairs of evil players there are." The Chef knows if evil players are sitting next to each other. On the first night, the Chef learns exactly how many pairs of evil players there are in total. A pair is two players, but one player may be a part of two pairs. So, two players sitting next to each other is one pair. Three players sitting next to each other is two pairs. Four players sitting next to each other is three pairs. And so on. The Chef detects evil Travellers just like other character types, but only if those Travellers joined the game before the Chef acts.

    How to Run

    1. During the first night, wake the Chef. Show the Chef fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of pairs of neighboring evil players. Put the Chef to sleep.
  4. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
  5. 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

    1. 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.
  6. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 매일 밤, 동네바보를 한 명 깨우세요. 그 플레이어는 플레이어 1명을 가리킵니다. 엄지를 위나 아래로 보여주고 다시 재우세요. 모든 동네바보가 행동할 때까지 반복합니다.
  7. 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

    1. During setup, you may add an Outsider.
    2. 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.
    3. Each night, wake the Balloonist. Point to the player marked KNOW. Put the Balloonist to sleep.
  8. Townsfolk

    Flowergirl

    Each night*, you learn if a Demon voted today.


    Yesterday's violets have withered and died, but today my poppies bloom.

    "Each night*, you learn if a Demon voted today." The Flowergirl knows if the Demon voted or not. A Demon’s vote counts whether or not the nominee was executed. The Flowergirl does not detect if the Demon raised their hand for other reasons, such as when the players “vote” on what to order for dinner, or when the players raise their hand to exile a Traveller. If the Demon changes players after the original Demon voted but before the Flowergirl wakes to learn their information, the Flowergirl detects the original Demon. If there are two (or more!) Demons, even dead Demons, the Flowergirl detects if any of them voted. If even one Demon voted, the Flowergirl learns a “yes”.

    How to Run

    1. Each dawn, mark the Flowergirl with the DEMON NOT VOTED reminder, and remove the DEMON VOTED reminder, if any.
    2. Each day, if the Demon votes for any execution, replace the DEMON NOT VOTED reminder with the DEMON VOTED reminder.
    3. Each night except the first, wake the Flowergirl. If the Flowergirl is marked DEMON NOT VOTED, shake your head no. If the Flowergirl is marked DEMON VOTED, nod your head yes. Then, put the Flowergirl to sleep.

    Examples & Notes

    • If you forget whether the Demon voted or not, wake the Demon at night and ask by showing them the DID YOU VOTE TODAY? info token. They must answer honestly, then go to sleep.
  9. Townsfolk

    Town Crier

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


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

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

    How to Run

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

    Examples & Notes

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

    Oracle

    Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil.


    Only the chosen may gaze beyond the veil. The dead are restless, and they point in silence toward the icy north.

    "Each night*, you learn how many dead players are evil." The Oracle knows how many dead players are evil. Because the Oracle acts after the Demon attacks each night, the Oracle’s info refers to the players that are dead when dawn breaks and all players open their eyes. The Oracle detects dead Minions and Demons, but also any other players that are evil, such as evil Travellers, or Townsfolk and Outsiders that have been turned evil. When counting the number of dead players, remember to count Townsfolk and Outsider tokens that are upside-down, which means their alignment is the opposite of what is printed.

    How to Run

    1. Each night except the first, wake the Oracle. Show fingers (0, 1, 2, etc.) equaling the number of dead evil players. Then, put the Oracle to sleep.
  11. 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

    1. If a player dies by execution, put the Undertaker's DIED TODAY reminder token by the dead player's character token.
    2. 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.
    3. 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).
  12. 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

    1. 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.
  13. 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

    1. 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.)
    2. 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.
  14. Townsfolk

    Farmer

    When you die at night, an alive good player becomes a Farmer.


    Even the high and mighty need food on the table. Without us, the city starves.

    "When you die at night, an alive good player becomes a Farmer." The Farmer creates more farmers. If a Farmer dies at night, another player becomes a Farmer too. Only players that are good can become Farmers this way. If this new Farmer also dies at night, another Farmer is created. Farmers that die during the day, such as by execution, do not create more Farmers. Farmers that have turned evil, such as from the Mezepheles’ ability, can create more Farmers. But Townsfolk and Outsiders that have turned evil cannot become a Farmer. Farmers do not learn who each other are, but each player that becomes a Farmer learns that they are now a Farmer. When a player becomes a Farmer, they are no longer their old character, and do not have that ability. Any ongoing effects of their old ability immediately end.

    How to Run

    1. If the Farmer died tonight, wake an alive good player. Show them the YOU ARE info token and a Farmer character token, then put them to sleep. Replace their previous character token with a Farmer character token.
  15. 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

    1. 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.)
  16. Outsider

    Mutant

    If you are “mad” about being an Outsider, you might be executed.


    I am not a freak! I am a human being! Have mercy!

    "If you are "mad" about being an Outsider, you might be executed." The Mutant is killed if they try to reveal who they are. “Madness” is a term that means “you are trying to convince the group of something.” So, if the Mutant player is mad about being the Mutant, this means they are trying to convince people that they are the Mutant. If they are mad about being an Outsider, this means they are trying to convince people that they are an Outsider. This can be by verbally hinting who they are, or by their silence when questioned. It is always up to the Storyteller to decide what the Mutant is doing. If you think they are trying to convince the group they are an Outsider in any way, you can execute them—even outside the nomination phase, or at night. If you do, no other executions may happen today by normal means, since there is only one execution per day. If the Mutant hints that they are the Mutant at night, you may execute them that night, even if an execution happened today. Declare they have died, and continue the night phase as normal. An execution may still happen the next day.

    How to Run

    1. At any time (even at night), if you believe that the Mutant is mad about being an Outsider, then you can decide to execute the Mutant. Declare this to the group. They die - mark them with a shroud.
    2. 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.)
  17. Outsider

    Zealot

    If there are 5 or more players alive, you must vote for every nomination.


    I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.

    "If there are 5 or more players alive, you must vote for every nomination." The Zealot votes. If there are 5 or more players alive, the Zealot must vote for every nomination. If there are 4 or fewer players alive, the Zealot can choose whether they vote or not. Travellers count as alive players. The Zealot can vote like a normal dead player when dead. The Zealot does not need to vote for exiles. A Zealot must vote even if they think they might be drunk or poisoned. It is not the Storyteller's responsibility to monitor the Zealot. They're responsible for their own voting. Deliberately not voting when they should is considered cheating.

    How to Run

    1. During each nomination, if there are 5 or more players alive, the Zealot must raise their hand to vote.

    Examples & Notes

    • If the Zealot accidentally forgets to vote, do not tally the Zealot's vote. If you do tally the vote, the total will be more than it should be, and all players will know which player is the Zealot, which is unfair for the evil team. Mistakes happen. Just play on and have a private chat later.
  18. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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.)
    3. 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.)
  19. 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.
  20. Minion

    Spy

    Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead.


    Any brewmaster worth their liquor, knows no concoction pours trouble quicker, than one where spies seem double.

    "Each night, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead." The Spy might appear to be a good character, but is actually evil. They also see the Grimoire, so they know the characters (and status) of all players. If any character has an ability that would detect or affect a good player, then the Spy might register as good to that character. If any character has an ability that detects Townsfolk or Outsiders, then the Spy might register as a specific Townsfolk or Outsider to that player. It is the Storyteller's choice as to what the Spy registers as, even as many characters or both alignments during the same night. A Spy that registers as a particular Townsfolk or Outsider does not have this character's ability. For example, a Spy that registers as a Slayer cannot slay the Demon.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Spy and show them the Grimoire for as long as they need. Put the Spy to sleep.
    2. Each time the Spy is targeted by an ability that detects or affects good characters, choose what character and alignment the Spy registers as. (Do whatever is appropriate, such as showing a good character token, nodding, giving finger signals, or allowing an ability to work that would normally only affect good, Townsfolk, or Outsider players.)
    3. Remember to keep your Grimoire tidy and show it to the Spy in the correct orientation, so the Spy can easily see who is who.
  21. Minion

    Fearmonger

    Each night, choose a player: if you nominate & execute them, their team loses. All players know if you choose a new player.


    Beware of gazing long into the Abyss, lest the Abyss also gaze into you.

    "Each night, choose a player: if you nominate & execute them, their team loses. All players know if you choose a new player." The Fearmonger creates paranoia about who nominates whom. During the first night, when the Fearmonger selects a player, all players learn this. During other nights, each time the Fearmonger selects a new player, all players learn this. If the Fearmonger selects the same player as previously, the players learn nothing. The players only learn that the Fearmonger has acted, not which player was selected. If the Fearmonger nominates their chosen player, and that nomination results in their execution, the chosen player loses, their team loses, and the game ends. Only the currently chosen player is susceptible to the Fearmonger’s ability. Previously chosen players don’t count. If the chosen player is executed but does not die, the chosen player’s team still loses.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Fearmonger. They point at any player. Put the Fearmonger to sleep. Mark the chosen player with the FEAR reminder. If the Fearmonger chose a player who wasn’t already marked with the FEAR reminder, declare that “The Fearmonger has chosen a player.” (This informs the group that the Fearmonger is alive and has chosen a new player.)
    2. If the Fearmonger nominates the player marked FEAR, and that nomination results in their execution, declare that the game is over and which team has won.
  22. 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

    1. 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.)
    2. That night, wake the new Imp, show them the YOU ARE info token, then show them the Imp token.
    3. 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.

    Marionette

    You think you are a good character, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are. [You neighbor the Demon]


    Words, words. They're all we have to go on.

    "You think you are a good character, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are. [You neighbor the Demon]" The Marionette doesn't know that they are a Minion. The Marionette draws either a Townsfolk or an Outsider token from the bag, but is secretly the Marionette. The Marionette neighbors the Demon. There are no players sitting in between the Marionette and the Demon. The Demon knows which player is the Marionette. On the first night, the Marionette does not wake to learn the other evil players, and the other Minions do not learn the Marionette. The good ability that the Marionette thinks they have doesn’t work, but the Storyteller pretends it does. It is just as if this player is the Drunk. The Marionette registers as evil, and as a Minion.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting tokens in the bag, remove the Marionette token and add any Townsfolk token.
    2. If there are three Minions in play, remove another Minion token and add another Townsfolk token. During the first night, swap a good player’s character token with a not-in-play Minion character token. Wake this player, show them the YOU ARE info token then their Minion character token, then the YOU ARE info token then a thumbs down, then put them to sleep. This player is now an evil Minion. (This ensures that only one Minion token is in the bag, so at least one good player will neighbor the Demon.)
    3. During the first night, mark a good player neighboring the Demon with the IS THE MARIONETTE reminder. Wake the Demon. Point to the player marked IS THE MARIONETTE and show the Marionette character token. Put the Demon to sleep.
    4. Treat the Marionette as if they were drunk. They wake when their good character would wake, may get false information, do not wake during the Minion Info step etc.

    Kazali

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. [You choose which players are which Minions. -? to +? Outsiders]


    Gon(z)a7les6. Take cau8tun. The mech4an4ion is iNvert10d. E99ors insy6tum. Reco{7}fig.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. [You choose which players are which Minions. -? to +? Outsiders]" The Kazali chooses their own Minions. If a Kazali is created mid game, the Kazali does not choose new Minion players. The Storyteller can give the Minions’ original good characters as bluffs to the Demon, since they are not in play. The Kazali acts at a time that is technically both during setup and during the first night. The Storyteller may keep the Kazali awake, or put the Kazali to sleep, when waking the Minions to tell them which Minion that they are. Only Minions that are on the script may be chosen. Duplicate Minion characters are not allowed.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, remove all Minion tokens and add Townsfolk or Outsider tokens.
    2. During the first night, wake the Kazali. The Kazali points at a player and a Minion on the character sheet. Replace their old character token with the Minion token, show them the “You Are” info token then the Minion character token, and give a thumbs down. Repeat until the normal number of Minions exist. Put the Kazali to sleep.
    3. Each night except the first, wake the Kazali. They point at any player. That player dies.

    Examples & Notes

    • Depending on the script, adding more than one Outsider can put the good team at a significant disadvantage.

    Lord of Typhon

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


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

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

    How to Run

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

    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

    1. 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.
    2. 첫날 밤을 제외한 매일 밤, 플레이어 1명이 죽도록 정할 수 있습니다.
    3. 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.
