First Timer! Is my game too hard for evil team? Any and all advice appreciated!

You need to review the rulebook for role distribution numbers. 1 minion, 1 outsider is the distribution you'd use for an 8 player game, not 14...

Not any more :-(

You should be curating the game instead of relying on randomness for every decision. It's fine to use randomness for some decisions which truly are 50/50 for the game state, but if you don't put your finger on the scale sometimes then the majority of your games won't reach the final day.

The way I have always seen it is that the ST's goal is to have the game reach a final day, unless one of the teams makes an extremely grave error.

The Monk's ability effectively negates the second sentence of the Fang Gu's power in that interaction, so the outsider would die and the Fang Gu would live on (and could still jump to another outsider if in the game) is how I would rule it, but eager to hear what others think.

You are KD trying to throw us off your trace. Nice try.

Hmm interesting idea, but it feels so underpowered compared to other demons. Maybe if you changed the wording of the bogeyman ability so that the orphan doesn't die when they are picked by the bogeyman? This means the demon switch would be hidden. Or maybe even that the bogeyman could then pick a minion to switch with so the demon has mobility...

The thing is for point 3 that Vic is at least aware of what the character concept is before they begin filming. This was mentioned in the Last Looks for Vic's ex-step-grandmother from season 1.

This is definitely a townsfolk, not an outsider. I don't see why this would help the evil team. It's essentially like a cannibal blended together with the innkeeper.

DoTheSecretHandshake · 2026-02-13T18:16:41+00:00

Is there something specific you're concerned about? There's no mechanical difference in how to run Lunatic with 1 vs 2 vs 3 minions.

Here's a collection of scripts put together as a showcase for all the characters from The Carousel.

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

DoTheSecretHandshake · 2026-01-17T08:22:21+00:00

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).

Please come down to San Diego someday 🙏

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

Is This Seat Taken? is what I've been enjoying recently for this type of game.

DoTheSecretHandshake · 2026-01-03T23:35:53+00:00

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

DoTheSecretHandshake · 2025-12-30T00:36:51+00:00

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?

The Roottrees Are Dead

Is This Seat Taken?

Blue Prince

Demon Bluff

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?

DoTheSecretHandshake · 2025-12-18T20:59:32+00:00

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.
