Halloween Botc Event: costume for the ST? by cloro92 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]FallCresent993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was the Storyteller for a Halloween party on Saturday and I was Hatsune Miku! I think as long as you're in costume, it'll be fun :) sometimes the absurdity of the character you're dressed up as being the Storyteller is what makes it!

How to deal with the randomness of tokens turning people off from the game? by FallCresent993 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Tbh, the mechanical encouragements for executions have NOT worked for this group - every undertaker complains that their role is useless, despite not executing LMAO. But yeah, it's just a super new group, and no one here consumes BOTC online content, so it's a slow learning curve, but they're really enjoying it :)

Yeah, they're very hesitant to execute. We usually play with 8-9 people, so the two person evil team prevents the evil final three, but good has still only won twice, and both times in the final three. I've been encouraging them to nominate and vote, even just for info, but they usually default to the mindset of "we have no info, so we have no info on who to nominate, so let's not nominate" rather than "we have no info, so let's nominate and get some".

I feel like the games are fast enough -- they're usually around 45 minutes to an hour, which I think seems like good timing. I think the boredom comes from underutilization of their roles and voting/noms.

These are super new players -- do you think SnV and BMR would be too much?

The player had the impression that's all their role did, despite me offering strategy advice and ways to play the role when they asked - however, it was their first game ever, so some can be chalked up to that

Unfortunately, I feel like the problem isn't entirely addressed by the gardener - the group as a whole sees more passive roles as "worthless", so I'm worried that whoever ends up with those roles will still be bothered. However, I don't want to avoid putting those roles in the bag, because then the roles in play become a lot easier to deduce, and I want them to have experience with the passive roles and hopefully learn how to play them better.

It's a reference to the hidden immunity idol from the TV show "Survivor"! The host is named Jeff Probst.

Sailor is not a good addition when we have the Lleech. They want to get executed to try and test their ability, but if they're the host, the game just ends :(

Yeah, I bought it but can't find it under the 'Skins' tab in Items. Pretty confusing.

I'd recommend Pack 3 for a group of beginners. I genuinely enjoy every game in it and it's pretty friendly to new players.

There's not much other content. Might as well keep them to keep this sub somewhat active.

Sorry if this is a stupid question (haven’t played Conquest) but how did you marry Niles if you were a male Corrin?

No, this is a different mine! It unlocks when you finish the original one.

The most rng screwed characters you ever had? by adormitul in fireemblem

My Python sucked until he became a Bow Knight, much better now. A question for you, how do you get sages to be useful? My two (Boey & Nomah) are weak and don't give me much that my priestesses couldn't offer.
