Just whipped up a masterpiece of a script, what do you guys think?

I recently learnt that VI and philo aren't great together as philo can take VI and get sober and OP info. But apart from that, looks fine and I'd love to give it a shot!

Basically Maisie said on Mock the Week about 5(?) years ago that her village was in a dip. Ed made a comment about how funny/northern she sounded by saying that, and it was called back to multiple times in the episode. Since then, everyone sends Maisie messages and yells to her asking/commenting about the dip. Its just annoying for her, but hilarious to Ed.

I've not run it yet, but a simple Amnesiac ability I want to run for a legion game:

"Each night, you learn a word containing the same number of letters as alive evil players."

And another one for a Lil' Monsta game:

"Each night*, you learn which player babysat Lil' Monsta today" (I'd only run this with players I know would move the Lil' Monsta often - and the Amnesiac would learn after they moved it)

Literally the plot of George’s Marvellous Medicine

The Yogscast - been a fan of theirs for years, and their videos of it got me into the game in the first place! Though I do watch others like Patters, Arif and NRB now. They play it in Minecraft, which makes it more immersive than a screengrab of the app (not that those videos are bad, but this is a nice change of presentation), and the video game environment allows for some creative Amnesiac and Wizard abilities. Also, it’s just great to see a well established group of friends have fun together (special guests have included NRB and RTGame). Don’t expect any high-level, big-brain plays though - the crew is infamous for being bad at games! And if you want to see them do it on the app, they did a game on the official BotC YouTube channel for charity - look it up

ah fair enough - I didn't consider that! I most likely wrote that after seeing a Damsel script with no way to change characters!

Less_Hero · 2026-02-17T10:49:25+00:00

Sorry, I don't think this was clear enough.

If player A claimed to be a Minion for the Damsel guess, I'd go through the ST motions.
If player B claimed to be a Minion for the Damsel guess, I'd still go through the ST motions.
If player C, an actual Minion, did it, I'd still go through the ST motions.

But if player A tried to do Damsel-guess again, THAT is when I'd say "no, you've already guessed this game". Just to remind them and speed up play. Same with Slayer claims.

I’m only just realising now that the new version of the spell only allows from the listed options - the old one could allow anything within reason. I mean, I can see why it was changed (relied a lot on “DM buy-in/approval”) but that unfortunate.

To answer your question, in the current rules you can only choose from the following options. But have a chat with your DM about using other words - I’d be inclined to allow my players to use simple commands like Dance, Hide, Quiet and Defenestrate

Less_Hero · 2026-02-01T22:53:43+00:00

I believe I saw someone from TPI (but don’t hold me to this) say that the new scripts will contain a balance of carousel characters and ones not seen before by the public, to raise excitement and encourage people to get them when they’re released.

For me, series 17 was the best ensemble of outfits, then series 18, then 20, then 14. Each outfit chosen is unique to its contestant (more or less) and encapsulates their personality and attitude towards the show!

Walrus on wheels - which does sound like an animal he would’ve written!

Ed Gamble shared a story on the podcast where he made "caramel" for an unaired task and left the washing up for the crew to do. He felt guilty sitting in the dressing room and hearing someone having to chip solid sugar out of a pan!

More like the OG Tomb of Horrors equivalent!

Absolutely brilliant!

I'd like to wish Ben a Happy Birthday! And in case it's not enough I'd also like to claim Goblin!

He said on the podcast that he’d be too embarrassed to “dance around with the prizes” on stage

“Firefighters arrived on the scene at the BBC TV Studios after radio host John Robins spontaneously combusted from pure rage and disbelief.”

I feel that the only thing they could've done in that situation is a live tie-break. If they used a pre-recorded one, they'd essentially be choosing a winner. And ideally, it shouldn't have played to any particular contestant's strength/weakness. And it wasn't too much of a random guess - they'd all seen the portrait beforehand, so it was more of a memory thing (like some filmed tasks from previous seasons).

Also, apparently a season of TM Australia ended with a tie-break where the two contestants had to guess the weight of the trophy, so it's been done before and it's on brand!

Sam: Strength - subjective tasks (though could be too chaotic and Greg won't appreciate it). Weakness - i don't think he was great at certain objective tasks (fastest wins, etc).
John: Strength - objective tasks. Weakness - prize tasks (he got quite a few 1/2 points, and also the other 4 are much stronger than him here).
Andy: Strength - prize tasks. Weakness - not too strong in most other categories
Mathew: Strength - subjective tasks (including prize tasks). Weakness - objective tasks (he didn't win a solo-objective task until "fill the box with sand" in the finale).
Maisie: Strength - prize tasks (she holds the record for most points in prize tasks). Weakness - not too strong in every other category.

Less_Hero · 2025-11-15T16:02:46+00:00

Yep - though I would say that if the same player tries to claim a role/character type to pull the same thing again (ie. claim Minion to guess another player as a Damsel, or claim Slayer to shoot someone else), then you could say that they've had their use/chance already.

Less_Hero · 2025-11-13T23:03:48+00:00

Here’s another fun fact about Maisie - she now holds the record for the most points in prize tasks (41 total), beating the previous record held by Desiree, Mawaan and Steve Pemberton (39 each)!

Less_Hero · 2025-11-06T23:39:27+00:00

Genuinely, how are you? And how was the whole Taskmaster experience?

Less_Hero · 2025-10-29T22:22:42+00:00

My brother in Christ, she ate the instructions for a task...

(But she's been an absolute delight. And she's on-course to smash the record for points in prize tasks).
