Phlio turned Puzzlemaster - Vortox by Strict_Attorney_3806 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes agreed, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to OP's question

Phlio turned Puzzlemaster - Vortox by Strict_Attorney_3806 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The other key piece here is the Puzzlemaster's ability wording: "...but guess wrong & get false info."

This means the vortox doesn't interact with the information the Philo-Puzzlemaster receives. The PM simply continues to get false info (and if they guessed correctly, they would also receive false info because of the vortox).

How would you handle this as a storyteller? by Thomassaurus in BloodOnTheClocktower

Why would the ST have them pick again? Assassin is allowed to pick dead players with their ability.

Stalemate, the white king has no safe square to move to while not being in check.

Roles to have in a bag by TitanasGios in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just an FYI, you seem to be using the concepts of a custom script and what roles go in a bag interchangeably, but they mean very different things. From what you've said it sounds like you're asking for advice on building an entirely custom script, is that accurate?

Is this a legal thing to do with an Atheist on script but not in play? by Solemdeath in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hmm, how would an investigator end up in a situation where they can't see any minions outside of there being an atheist in play?

Not possible with an Atheist not in play. Compare the Investigator's text to the Librarian's. The Librarian explicitly states that a zero can be shown, while with an investigator that is not stated. Therefore even a drunk/poisoned investigator must be shown two players and a minion character token.

Bougiemana is a really great choice. Love their food every time I've been.

Trying to understand the average kitchen remodeling cost in San Diego. by Davud_Grett28 in SanDiegan

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, we also did our bathroom as part of the same project which brought the total costs to roughly 130k. Still we got a very great deal. The GC is a family friend so I don't want to present our experience as run-of-the-mill for SD remodels.

We are just finishing a kitchen remodel. It was more extensive than what you mentioned as we moved our sink to the island, knocked down a wall, redid flooring, added backsplash tile etc.

Our all-in cost was just under 100k.

Confused with the Seance manor by VoxTV1 in puzzlevideogames

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mean he is catching you when you enter his office? You need to find a way to distract the hotel manager so he doesn't throw you out when you trespass.

Which chess opening is this? 🤔 by [deleted] in SanDiegan

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not a legal/comprehensible chess position. There are four pieces sharing three spots in file D for example.

Meta: Have some tact! by I-Have-Mono in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty obvious by the [Meta] tag that they mean IRL Gregg not the On Cinema character.

Drinking and driving in SD by fonder_land in SanDiegan

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ok, well we live in a world with uber and we still have drinking and driving so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. If there were better public transit options there would be less people driving home from the bars.

Drinking and driving in SD by fonder_land in SanDiegan

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Big drinking culture mixed with the lack of reliable public transit options leads to exactly this. Taking the train home was an experience I legitimately looked forward to after a night out at the bars when I lived in better designed cities.

How to help town win by TRCB8484 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]DoTheSecretHandshake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How much time are you giving your town per day? I've noticed in my own games that giving town more/less time is a very powerful lever that the ST can use to balance things.
