    Notes

    If the Vigormortis attacks itself & a Scarlet Woman becomes the new Vigormortis, one of the original Vigormortis Townsfolk neighbors is poisoned. As long as Vigormortis is in play, Vigormortis killed minions retain their abilities. If the Kazali makes a Xaan, a player might become an Outsider. V2.7: Minor QoL change for Kazali that chooses a Xaan. With politician on script, this can be easily bluffable as well, or stay hidden. V2.6: Lil' Monsta and Imp can technically have the same ability in a way. Kazali gives a greater range on demon abilities by choosing minions and giving free bluffs. The demon knows when a Widow is in play or not and can claim to hear a Widow call. The combination is just nice. V2.5: Removed one demon from the script so it's just Lil Monsta, Imp and Vigormortis. Changed out the outsiders to remove additional minion abilities. Swapped Mayor into the Townsfolk for soldier to give good another win condition. The script features interactions of the Vigormortis and the Ogre. All townsfolk have some interaction with the vigor, whether it's a bluff (farmer) or something counterable by the vigor via the poisoning. The only exception is the soldier, as a direct counter to all demons on script. The oracle helps determine if it is a vigor game. The recluse can register as a minion to the vigor. The other outsiders create paranoia and uncertainty. Mid to low mobility on the script for demons depending on what is in play. The Huntsman is very bluffable on this script, with a combination of widow, pit hag and damsel all all in-play, via new jinx. This can be incredibly powerful to fake later in the game and get your demon "confirmed". Similarly, a pit hag that is vigor killed can change their neighbor into a farmer and create a "farmer chain" that goes to your demon after killing the farmer if vigor Poison lands right. Very fun things to try. The ogre also has several interactions on this script that create unknowns. The ogre power can be recycled via the cannibal, or a clever minion bluffing ogre can make the cannibal believe they have changed alignment now. The pit hag or plague doctor/baron can bring an ogre to the game later, allowing for a discount type of goon. Spirit of ivory recommended. The script also features the new Juggler jinx, which is more effective than previous, while still allowing you to juggle if it works out.

    Grandmother

    You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too.


    Take a jacket if you go outside, dearie. And your thermos. And your scarf. I have a weak heart, you know. Whatever would I do if you caught cold...or worse?

    "You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too." The Grandmother knows who their grandchild is, but if they are killed by the Demon, the Grandmother dies too. During the first night, the Grandmother learns their Grandchild—a good player who is a Townsfolk or Outsider. The Grandchild does not learn that they have a Grandmother. If the Demon kills the Grandchild, the Grandmother dies too. If the Grandchild dies by any other means—such as execution, or another type of death at night—the Grandmother does not also die.

    How to Run

    1. When preparing the first night, choose a Grandchild by marking any good character with the GRANDCHILD reminder.
    2. During the first night, wake the Grandmother and show them the character token marked GRANDCHILD, then point at the Grandchild player, then put the Grandmother to sleep.
    3. If the Demon kills the Grandchild, the Grandmother dies - mark them with the DEAD reminder.
  3. 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.
  4. Townsfolk

    Preacher

    Each night, choose a player: a Minion, if chosen, learns this. All chosen Minions have no ability.


    It is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick.

    "Each night, choose a player: a Minion, if chosen, learns this. All chosen Minions have no ability." The Preacher removes Minion abilities. If the Preacher chooses a Minion, that Minion is woken to learn that they have been preached, and can no longer act while the Preacher is alive, sober, and healthy. If the Preacher chooses a player who is not a Minion, nothing happens. The Preacher may choose dead players. If the Preacher is drunk or poisoned at the time they choose a player, that player is not affected by the Preacher’s ability. If the Preacher becomes drunk or poisoned, preached Minions regain their abilities until the Preacher is sober and healthy.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Preacher. They point to a player. Put the Preacher to sleep. If the Preacher choose a Minion, mark that Minion with a NO ABILITY reminder, wake the Minion and show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token then the Preacher token, then put them to sleep.
    2. All Minions marked NO ABILITY have no ability while the Preacher is alive.

    Fortune Teller

    Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you.


    I sense great evil in your soul! But... that could just be your perfume. I am allergic to Elderberry.

    "Each night, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you." The Fortune Teller detects who the Demon is, but sometimes thinks good players are Demons. Each night, the Fortune Teller chooses two players and learns if at least one of them is a Demon. They do not learn which of them is a Demon, just that one of them is. If neither is the Demon, they learn this instead. Unfortunately, one player, called the Red Herring, will register as a Demon to the Fortune Teller if chosen. The Red Herring is the same player throughout the entire game. This player may be any good player, even the Fortune Teller themself, and the Fortune Teller does not know which player it is. The Fortune Teller may choose any two players—alive or dead, or even themself. If they choose a dead Demon, then the Fortune Teller still receives a nod.

    How to Run

    1. While preparing the first night, put the Fortune Teller's RED HERRING reminder token by any good character token, marking that player as the Red Herring.
    2. Each night, wake the Fortune Teller. The Fortune Teller points at any two players. If either chosen player is a Demon or the Red Herring, nod your head yes. Otherwise, shake your head no. Put the Fortune Teller to sleep.
    3. In smaller games, making the Fortune Teller their own Red Herring is sometimes advised, as the Fortune Teller gets more information that way.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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

    1. Each night, wake the Seamstress. They either shake their head no or point at any two players except themself.
    2. If they shake their head no, nothing happens. Put the Seamstress to sleep.
    3. 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.
  10. Townsfolk

    Artist

    Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question.


    Mon Dieu! C'est lumineux! My work, she is... how you say... Magnifique! Dieu est révélé! Oui.

    "Once per game, during the day, privately ask the Storyteller any yes/no question." The Artist may ask any 1 question, and get an honest answer. The question may deal with anything at all, phrased in any way they want. The Storyteller honestly answers “yes,” “no,” or “I don’t know.” It is up to the Artist 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.

    How to Run

    1. During any day, the Artist can request a private chat with you. Take them away from the circle so you cannot be overheard. They will ask you a question. Whisper “Yes,” “No,” or “I don’t know,” to them, or if you cannot answer in one of these ways, prompt the Artist to ask again in a different way. The Artist loses their ability - mark them with the NO ABILITY reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Like the Savant, evil players bluffing as the Artist may request a private chat with you and pretend to ask a question. To help them bluff, you can pretend to give an answer by nodding or shaking your head.
  11. Townsfolk

    Slayer

    Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die.


    Die.

    "Once per game, during the day, publicly choose a player: if they are the Demon, they die." The Slayer can kill the Demon by guessing who they are. The Slayer can choose to use their ability at any time during the day, and must declare to everyone when they're using it. If the Slayer chooses the Demon, the Demon dies immediately. Otherwise, nothing happens. The players do not learn the identity of the dead player. After all, it may have been the Recluse! A Slayer that uses their ability while poisoned or drunk may not use it again. The Slayer will want to choose an alive player. Even if the Slayer chooses a dead Imp, nothing happens, because a dead player can't die again. Players may say whatever they want at any time, so a player who's pretending to be the Slayer may pretend to use the Slayer ability.

    How to Run

    1. During the day, the Slayer can declare that they wish to use their ability. If so, the Slayer points at any player. If the chosen player is an alive Demon, declare that the chosen player dies—put a shroud on their character token in the Grimoire. If the chosen player is not an alive Demon, say "Nothing happens." Either way, the Slayer loses their ability—put the Slayer's NO ABILITY reminder token by the Slayer token.
    2. If a player is bluffing as the Slayer and declares they wish to use their ability, act as if they were indeed the Slayer—allow time for discussion, let them make the decision, and act like you're fiddling with tokens in your Grimoire, then say "Nothing happens."
    3. When the Slayer declares that they wish to use their ability, give the group a minute or two to discuss who the Slayer should choose. This allows the group to feel responsible for the win (or the loss!), but the Slayer always makes the final choice.
  12. 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.

    Mayor

    If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead.


    We must put our differences aside, and cease this senseless killing. We are all taxpayers after all. Well, most of us.

    "If only 3 players live & no execution occurs, your team wins. If you die at night, another player might die instead." The Mayor can win by peaceful means on the final day. To survive, the Mayor sometimes "accidentally" gets someone else killed. If the Mayor is attacked and would die, the Storyteller may choose that a different player dies. Nobody learns how they died at night, just that they died. If there are just three players alive at the end of the day, and no execution occurred that day, then the game ends and good wins. Travellers count as players for the Mayor's victory, so must be exiled first. Remember that exiles are not executions. Fabled don't count as players for the Mayor's victory, as the Storyteller isn't a player. If the Demon attacks the Mayor, and the Storyteller instead chooses a dead player, the Soldier, or a player protected by the Monk, that player does not die tonight.

    How to Run

    1. During the night, if the Mayor would die, you choose if the Mayor actually dies, or if the Mayor remains alive and another character dies instead—put the Demon's DEAD reminder token by that character token instead of the Mayor, and put a shroud on that character token instead of the Mayor.
    2. At dawn, declare that the player marked DEAD died at night. (Do not say how they died.)
    3. At dusk, if exactly three players are alive and no player was executed today, declare that the game ends and good wins.

    Examples & Notes

    • We recommend you keep the Mayor alive until the final day, since it is most fun for the players that way. On rare occasions, if the group is overwhelmingly convinced early in the game that the Mayor is the Mayor, let the Mayor die so that evil has a chance to win.
    • In TROUBLE BREWING, the Mayor’s phrase “your team wins” will always mean “good wins” because the Mayor is always good. In other editions, an evil Mayor means “evil wins” instead.
  15. Outsider

    Ogre

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


    <grunt><grin></grunt>

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

    How to Run

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

    Examples & Notes

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

    Saint

    If you die by execution, your team loses.


    Wisdom begets peace. Patience begets wisdom. Fear not, for the time shall come when fear too shall pass. Let us pray, and may the unity of our vision make saints of us all.

    "If you die by execution, your team loses." The Saint ends the game if they are executed. If the Saint dies by execution, the game ends. Good loses and evil wins. If the Saint dies in any way other than execution—such as the Demon killing them—then the game continues.

    How to Run

    1. If the Saint dies by execution, declare that the game ends and evil wins.
    2. The Saint's ability has the strange phrase "your team loses." In Trouble Brewing, this will always mean "evil wins" because the Saint is always good. In other editions, it is possible for characters to change alignment. If the evil Saint is executed, good wins.
  18. Outsider

    Politician

    If you were the player most responsible for your team losing, you change alignment & win, even if dead.


    I'm glad you asked that question. Truly, I am. But I think the REAL question here is...

    "If you were the player most responsible for your team losing, you change alignment & win, even if dead." The Politician changes teams if they are losing. When the game ends, if the Politician was responsible for good losing, then the Politician turns evil and wins too. The player needs to be very influential when determining who wins. Simply spreading false information or voting for good players is usually not enough – they need to be the player that was more responsible for the good team losing than any other good player, and preferably more responsible than any one evil player too. The Storyteller is the judge of whether the Politician’s actions qualify. The Politician may still win with the good team, as normal. A drunk or poisoned Politician can not change teams.

    How to Run

    1. When the game ends, if good lost and you feel that this was significantly due to the words and actions of the Politician player, declare that the Politician turns evil and wins too.
    2. In the rare instance that the Politician is evil, and plays a big part in losing the game for evil, declare that the Politician turns good and wins with the good team.
  19. 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

    1. While preparing the first night, mark a good player with the KNOW reminder.
    2. 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.
    3. Wake the player marked KNOW. Show them the Widow character token. Put that good player to sleep.
  20. Minion

    Xaan

    On night X, all Townsfolk are poisoned until dusk. [X Outsiders]


    Down they fall. One by one. By two, by three, by five.

    "On night X, all Townsfolk are poisoned until dusk. [X Outsiders]" The Xaan poisons all Townsfolk. The Xaan poisons all Townsfolk players for one night then one day. The night that this happens equals the number of Outsiders in play. For example, if there are 2 Outsiders, the Xaan poisons on night 2. There can be any number of Outsiders in play, but usually 1 to 4. This can be the normal number of Outsiders if the Xaan was not in play, or something different. This overrides other characters that add or remove Outsiders, such as the Baron. If the number of Outsiders changes during the game, the Xaan poisons on the night corresponding to the number of Outsiders during setup. The Xaan needs to be alive in order to poison.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting character tokens in the bag, add or remove any number of Outsider tokens, including zero. Remove any unnecessary Xaan reminders.
    2. On the 1st night, add the NIGHT 1 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the 2nd night, add the NIGHT 2 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the 3rd night, add the NIGHT 3 Xaan reminder to the Grimoire. On the night that equals the number of Outsiders in play when the game began, add the X reminder to the Grimoire, and remove it the following dusk.
    3. When the X reminder is in the Grimoire, all Townsfolk players are poisoned.

    Organ Grinder

    All players keep their eyes closed when voting and the vote tally is secret. Each night, choose if you are drunk until dusk.


    Round and round the handles go. The more you dance the less you know.

    "All players keep their eyes closed when voting and the vote tally is secret. Each night, choose if you are drunk until dusk." The Organ Grinder makes voting secret. When a player is nominated, players vote with eyes closed. The Storyteller does not count the votes out loud, and does not reveal how many players voted once voting is complete. The Storyteller doesn’t reveal which player is “about to die”. After nominations have closed, the Storyteller reveals which player is executed, as normal. Dead players may vote once if they have a vote token. Their vote token is removed at the end of the day instead of after the vote. If the Organ Grinder is drunk, the vote happens with eyes open, as normal. The Storyteller makes no comment as to whether the Organ Grinder is dead or alive. That night, the Organ Grinder chooses to become sober or drunk again.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Organ Grinder. The Organ Grinder either nods or shakes their head. If they nod their head, mark them with the DRUNK reminder. Put the Organ Grinder to sleep.
    2. When a player has been nominated and a vote is just about to begin, and the Organ Grinder is sober, ask all players to close their eyes. If they ask why, tell them that an Organ Grinder is in play. When counting votes, do so silently. Afterwards, do not reveal how many players voted, nor if the nominee is “about to die”. If there were enough votes to execute the nominee, mark them with the ABOUT TO DIE reminder. Ask players to open their eyes, and if there are any more nominations.
    3. When nominations are closed, declare that the player marked ABOUT TO DIE, is executed.
    4. Each dusk, remove the DRUNK reminder.

    Examples & Notes

    • Players are not allowed to use other methods to determine who is voting, such as touch or sound. It is a secret.
  23. Demon

    Lil' Monsta

    Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & "is the Demon". Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]


    Step 1: Be cute. Step 2: World domination. Step 3: Bweakfast.

    "Each night, Minions choose who babysits Lil' Monsta & "is the Demon". Each night*, a player might die. [+1 Minion]" Lil’ Monsta isn’t a player, and is instead babysat by a Minion. Each night, all Minions wake together and decide amongst themselves who babysits the Lil’ Monsta. The Minions decide by pointing to a player, or otherwise make it obvious they have reached a decision. If they can not reach a unanimous decision, the Storyteller decides. If the Storyteller thinks it is funny, they may give this player the Lil’ Monsta token, which they will need to hide in a pocket, under their hat, or somewhere appropriate. Players may not request that others empty their pockets. The player with the Lil’ Monsta token “is the Demon”. Good wins if they die. They register as a Demon for characters like the Fortune Teller etc. If a good player babysits Lil’ Monsta, they “are the Demon” but they remain good. A dead player babysitting Lil’ Monsta ends the game because the Demon “is dead”. Minions babysitting Lil’ Monsta keep their Minion ability. Lil’ Monsta isn’t a player, so can’t be drunk or poisoned.

    How to Run

    1. During setup, remove Lil’ Monsta and add a Minion token. On the first night, skip the MINION INFO and DEMON INFO steps.
    2. Each night, wake all Minions. The majority will (eventually) point to one player. If they can’t decide, choose a player. (Give this player the Lil’ Monsta token and wait for them to hide it, if you want!) Mark them with the IS THE DEMON reminder token. Put all Minions to sleep. Then, if it is not the first night, a player might die – mark them with a DEAD reminder and a shroud.
    3. The player marked IS THE DEMON registers as the Demon. If they die, declare that the game is over and good has won.

    Examples & Notes

    • You may need to kill a Minion or two at night using the Lil’ Monsta’s ability. On the final day, it would be unfair for the good team to have 2 or more Minions alive, since either Minions could have been chosen to babysit Lil’ Monsta without any way for the good team to know which. Avoid this, and make the game fairer for the good team by killing Minions so that only 1 remains on the final day.

    "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.

    Vigormortis

    Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]


    All doors are one door. All keys are one key. All cups are one cup, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I give shall never thirst, but the water shall be in him a well springing up into everlasting life.

    "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Minions you kill keep their ability & poison 1 Townsfolk neighbor. [-1 Outsider]" The Vigormortis kills their own Minions, but those Minions keep their ability. Every time the Vigormortis kills a Minion, they die but keep their ability for as long as the Vigormortis remains alive. The Witch, Cerenovus, and Pit-Hag still act each night. Somewhat like the No Dashii, the dead Minion’s closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk becomes poisoned, even if they are dead. If the Vigormortis dies or otherwise loses their ability, then those players become healthy again. One Townsfolk per Minion will always be poisoned this way, as neighboring Outsiders, Minions, or Travellers are skipped. The Storyteller chooses which of the two Townsfolk is poisoned. All Minions killed by the Vigormortis keep their ability and poison a Townsfolk, not just the most recent. If a dead Minion becomes a non-Minion character, they no longer poison a Townsfolk and have no ability. If a dead Minion becomes drunk or poisoned, they lose their ability until they become sober and healthy again.

    How to Run

    1. While setting up the game, before putting the character tokens in the bag, remove one Outsider character token and add one Townsfolk character token. (If there are no Outsider tokens to remove, do not add a Townsfolk token.)
    2. Each night except the first, wake the Vigormortis. They point at any player. Put the Vigormortis to sleep. If the chosen player isn’t a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder.
    3. If the chosen player is a Minion, that player dies - mark them with a DEAD reminder and a HAS ABILITY reminder. The closest clockwise or closest counterclockwise Townsfolk to the Minion becomes poisoned - mark them with a POISONED reminder.

    Thief

    Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts negatively tomorrow.


    I ain't done nuffink. I weren't even in dat alley last night! It weren't me what stole Mayor Bruno's briefcase wiv all dem fancy dockoments innit. Besides, it was too 'eavy to carry far.

    "Each night, choose a player (not yourself): their vote counts negatively tomorrow." The Thief steals votes from a player, making their vote count negatively. When a player chosen by the Thief votes, the vote tally goes down by one instead of up by one. This happens every time that player votes that day. The player with the negative vote changes back to having a positive vote immediately if the Thief dies, including if the Thief is exiled, because the Thief loses their ability. Exiles are never affected by abilities, so the player with the negative vote can support exiles unaffected by the Thief’s ability. Since the Storyteller counts the number of votes out loud as they move their hand around the circle, all players will know which player the Thief chose.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, wake the Thief. They point at any player. Mark the chosen player with the Thief’s NEGATIVE VOTE reminder. Put the Thief to sleep.
    2. Each time you tally the vote of a player marked NEGATIVE VOTE, count it as subtracting one vote instead of adding one vote. (Count this out loud, as normal.)

    Barista

    Each night, until dusk, 1) a player becomes sober, healthy & gets true info, or 2) their ability works twice. They learn which.


    A cup of coffee with no cream, Monsieur? I’m terribly sorry, but we’re fresh out of cream — how about with no milk?

    "Each night, until dusk, 1) a player becomes sober, healthy & gets true info, or 2) their ability works twice. They learn which." The Barista either makes people sober & healthy, or allows them to act twice as much as normal. The Storyteller chooses which player the Barista affects each night, and which one of the two Barista abilities is in effect. The Barista does not know who or what the Storyteller chooses, but the affected player does. If the affected player is acting twice, then they do so at the normal time. If they would normally wake at night, they act, go to sleep, then wake to act again. If they have already used a “once per game” ability, they may use that ability again. If they have a “once per game” ability but have not used it yet, they may use it twice before dusk. If the Barista makes a player sober and healthy, their drunkenness and poisoning, if any, is removed, and they may not become drunk or poisoned until dusk. This player must get true information, even if a Vortox is in play.

    How to Run

    1. Each night, remove previous reminders then put the Barista’s SOBER AND HEALTHY reminder or their ACTS TWICE reminder by any character token. Wake that character’s player and show them the THIS CHARACTER SELECTED YOU info token, the Barista token, then one finger (to show they are sober and healthy) or two fingers (to show they act twice). Put that player to sleep.
    2. A player marked SOBER AND HEALTHY is sober and healthy (even if they’re also marked DRUNK or POISONED) and always gets true information (even if an ability would make them drunk or poisoned).
    3. A player marked ACTS TWICE acts twice at the appropriate time. (If the ability is optional, they may use it twice. If it is mandatory, they must use it twice.) Use the Barista’s ? reminders if needed, to substitute for the character’s own reminders.

    Examples & Notes

    • Some characters are better off knowing they are sober and healthy, as they gain no benefit from acting twice, such as the Flowergirl, Town Crier, or Oracle.
    • The Barista ensures players get true information even if an ability causes false information, such as a Fortune Teller, Spy, or Recluse.

    Harlot

    Each night*, choose a living player: if they agree, you learn their character, but you both might die.


    Enchanté, Sailor. You look like you need someone to really listen to your troubles. I'm a good listener. Very, very good.

    "Each night*, choose a living player: if they agree, you learn their character, but you both might die." The Harlot learns the character of whoever agrees to reveal it, but at great risk for them both. Each night, the Harlot chooses a player. That player has a decision to make: do they reveal their character to the Harlot? If they do, the Storyteller may decide that both this player and the Harlot die tonight. The Harlot only learns the character of the chosen player, not that player’s alignment. The Harlot may discuss during the day which character they would like to pick at night, and other players may offer to be picked, but they may go back on their word and choose differently when night comes.

    How to Run

    1. 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.
    2. If they shook their head no, then nothing happens. Continue with the night phase.
    3. 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.

    Bone Collector

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


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

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

    How to Run

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

    Voudon

    Only you & the dead can vote. They don't need a vote token to do so. A 50% majority isn't required.


    Bien venu. Sit down. Breathe deep. Enter the land of the dead. See with their eyes. Speak with their voice. Yon sel lang se janm ase.

    "Only you & the dead can vote. They don't need a vote token to do so. A 50% majority isn't required." The Voudon gives the voting power to the dead instead of the living. The dead and the Voudon may vote as many times per day as they wish. They do not need a vote token to vote, and do not lose their vote token when they do so. Alive players cannot vote. It is not the case that they may put their hand up but the votes don’t count—their hands must stay down during voting. The number of votes required to execute a player is no longer half or more of the alive players. The player with the most votes is executed each day, but even a single vote is enough to execute a player if no other player gets more votes. The Voudon does not alter who can make nominations. As normal, alive players may make nominations, and dead players may not. Since Travellers are exiled, not executed, all players, alive or dead, may support exiling the Voudon or other Travellers. If a player is about to die and then the Voudon is exiled, that player is still about to die and nominations continue, but alive players vote as normal. If a later nomination gets more votes and it tallies to half or more of the alive players, this new player is about to die instead.

    How to Run

    1. During votes for execution, only dead players and the Voudon may raise their hand to vote. The dead may vote even if they have no vote token, and voting does not use a vote token. If a nominee gets at least one vote, they are about to die by execution until a different player gets more votes.
  31. 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

    1. 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.
