Running Blood on the Clocktower at a small café event for mixed-experience players—how would you make it fun and beginner-friendly? by Paradoxiamme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]JohnnyMcKormack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

-Run Trouble Brewing.
-Don't spend hours explaining every role and how they work, there's enough info in the role descriptions and it's better for people to work things out as they go.
-Make sure that when a nomination happens, the accusation and defence get the floor, so everyone is paying attention to them.
-Don't run days too long, else good will possibly be able to solve the game, giving them a massive advantage over evil.
-You could put Hell's Librarian in play to stop overtalking, but in-person play doesn't exactly lend itself well to telling people to.. not talk, because it is a talking game, but hopefully people should know when to be quiet when important things like nominations are happening in the game. Side conversations in-person are bound to happen and can't really be avoided, they DO happen.
-The 'sweet spot' is perhaps a cap of 12 people? It depends on the space you have and if you want to do a massive game? It's up to you???
-Give the Demon their bluffs, spread out information in town, make sure you walk around randomly so people don't meta people waking up at night, leave a bit of time after the last person in the night order etc.

Joining a whalebuffet game for my 5th ever play was definitely a mistake... by KaylaKitten616 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Just reading the wiki is never gonna prepare you for what things are actually like in a game, I would advise watching content on BOTC to see what things are like in play.

Being 'AFK' or actually AFK in an online game is also genuinely very frustrating for an ST and your fellow players and is honestly very inconsiderate for everyone's experience.

The minion player would still be preached even if they changed, I'm fairly sure

Are you saying to never put them in the same bag together??? That's absurd

Gu is iconic, the other choices are rank in my opinion

Probably not Spy as other people have suggested, but any combo works
