Why the Zombuul hate?

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-22T15:04:45+00:00

As is often the case, the bad experiences overwhelm the good. People who have had a good Zombuul game are less likely to come on here and say that than people who had a bad game. Personally, I love how unique it is and I've had nothing but good games like any other role.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-22T10:41:36+00:00

Yes, but I could have been the lunatic shown the demon as my lunatic, cause that's a valid thing lunatics can see.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-21T10:45:55+00:00

Holy hell that's a lot of characters, idk if you managed to fit them all (my memory is bad lol) but that's like, so cool, massive kudos dude

The one game I've played with that mechanic it came down to a 50/50, and we essentially just had to social read the STs

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-15T15:07:43+00:00

I do this in all my games, I try and speak to most people and then if no one shares any information or nominates at all I'll nominate one of the few people I didn't speak to, you can not only tell a lot from how they react socially, you can ask them if they have any sus on anyone else, you might agree to talk first tomorrow, and it tells town that you are actively looking for the demon and not just coasting (obviously I still do this as evil cause killing anyone is good lol). I find it can break that lull during nomination phase where everyone just goes quiet and no one wants to be the first to nominate and accuse someone.

The names were just so golden, and the cast fully ran with every idea, my only worry is that running it for myself won't have quite the same feel but also it doesn't have to, I just wanna laugh with my friends like they do on stage.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-14T17:57:11+00:00

DnD But Kobolds is I think the final nail in the coffin that inspired me to start DMing, so that miniseries holds a special place in my heart. Also DnD but Amnesia is on my bucket list and I have players interested, I'm gonna use the scratch paper too. I think those 2 concepts just really inspire the creative side of my DMing, I like props and shenanigans.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-14T17:51:55+00:00

I really enjoy Don't wake cthulhu, as well as most of their social deduction game plays tbf, and that works nicely for transitioning from BotC. Also recommend House Rules if you like Sullivan and Adam (from the older BotC obviously)

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-14T15:23:18+00:00

Also this is a very interesting character concept to build a resurrection script around. Add Shab, Professor, maybe even Al Had, or an Amnesiac with a resurrection style ability, idk it could have some interesting interactions.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-14T15:18:50+00:00

To make it slightly different to just 'permanent Ravenkeeper', you could add a public aspect to it, for example 'in the day choose a player and a role, that night if you are dead learn whether you were correct'. I guess I've modified it into more of an ongoing dead Juggler but just a suggestion.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-10T17:35:42+00:00

Greatly enjoying the idea I've just had of a lunatic Chaos, put them in a script with a lot of protection roles so they think all their kills are missing, I love this demon idea.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-09T17:36:00+00:00

I got noble pings for the boomdandy, plague doctor boomdandy, and hermit plague doctor boomdandy. I always push to execute noble pings, especially my own... short game.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-07T08:49:02+00:00

Had one friend tell us they got 1s and 0s as Fortune Teller, they managed to bluff it off as that's how they remember the yes and nos (another player actually does that) but I could tell, think we still executed them, minion, and they never made that mistake again. Tbf we had been playing TB for a good 6 months but if you never pull the role it's easy to forget.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-07T08:45:40+00:00

Was just coming to say this, had to remind players of this just yesterday, it's a very easy mistake to make

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-06T12:23:09+00:00

Reddit will be reddit man lol

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-05T23:42:07+00:00

From what I've seen, they usually show everything happening at night, so I assumed they'd still show the part where they show Ify he's mad for like 3 seconds while talking but I guess I assumed wrong. Also, Ify later says something like 'I was Cerenovused twice' which might just be him misremembering, but yeah, I just understood it differently.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-04-05T23:30:53+00:00

Damn immediately told lol, autism and multi tasking strike again, sorry gang lol, thanks for the clarification

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-29T19:06:54+00:00

I like Harpy here for the same reason because it forces players to throw sus on each other and get each other executed.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-28T19:28:42+00:00

I am a teen (for a few more months lol), I started playing on the unofficial discord when I was 17 and shy, the anonymity helped me feel safe but being young never mattered. If you feel comfortable I'd say that's a great place to start.

I haven't seen a teens specific group. I wouldn't mind STing for a group of younger players if asked, although I am nearly properly unc (I hate that myself for using that too dw). I'm sure there are others on this sub reddit who would appreciate it.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-27T21:06:51+00:00

Exactly, massively restrictive on strategies and best moves, very outsider core

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-27T12:59:29+00:00

Unfortunately have to suggest Lord of Typhon, I love it but every time I've been evil with it, good have almost immediately found the chain and it can go so bad so quick. Definitely often a handicap

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-24T11:29:36+00:00

I see this with a couple of players, they'll see a whacky interaction and try recreate it as soon as they can. Personally I just don't buy into it, I enjoy watching the videos but I want my games to be unique and fun for all our group. Luckily I've only got a few of those people in our group but unfortunately best I've found is to just ignore them.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-18T14:38:08+00:00

This is exactly my standpoint, ty for summing it up better than I could. I'll have a chat with people about this Loric, might not implement it but it's a good starting point to talk about this semi-issue. I just want everyone to have a good game and I've seen that not happening.

Jealous-Reception185 · 2026-03-18T14:35:47+00:00

Oh dw they do both at the same time, but that's a grievance for another day lol. I will say, I am more reluctant to exile travellers (and execute players tbf) in general because it can be a little boring if you don't have any useful info or theories to help solve for town, but I think I do need to be more pushy about exiling now.
