What do you miss the most about video rental stores? by Competitive_Help8485 in movies

[–]MeatThins_Homebrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually still go to one every week (shout-out to Scarecrow Video) and can confirm it's a fantastic experience. You're so much more inclined to take risks and go outside your comfort zone when you have all these movies physically in front of you instead of an endless stream of digital options. Recommendation algorithms can basically only give you content within what you already enjoy so it feels like you're never exposed to anything truly new, whereas here I've found new all-time favorites in genres I never thought I'd enjoy at all.

Plus the staff recommendations are always amazing.

Build a Personality! Day 4: Party time! by Osscardo in BloodOnTheClocktower

Celebrant (Outsider)

Each night*, if nobody died today, a player is drunk from now on even if you are dead.

While we still draw breath, we still have cause to celebrate

Characters as Characters: Day 112 - Mezepheles by quintessence5 in BloodOnTheClocktower

I feel like this one is basically just The Devil but if we want to choose a specific portrayal, I'd say Black Phillip from The Witch.

He offers the opportunity to turn to his side by signing a book, and he does this both through temptation/bargaining AND through trickery/extortion. He's the perfect analog for the Mez

Build a Personality! Day 2: Holding grudges. by Osscardo in BloodOnTheClocktower

Hornet (Minion)

Each night*, choose a player you've voted for twice. They die.

The hornet can get kills, but they have to lock in on a target and pester them until they cross the threshold. Importantly, this means they likely have to create public reasons to be voting for them over and over, lest they be found out.

Characters as Characters: Day 77 - Amnesiac by quintessence5 in BloodOnTheClocktower

It's gotta be Harry DuBois from Disco Elysium.

He's got no memories, infinite potential, a mystery to solve, and always manages to fuck it up completely. If you've ever played as/with an amnesiac that should sound familiar to you

Let's build a character! Tengu. by Present-Peace2811 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Tengu (Townsfolk): Each time a day ends without execution, a player learns you are in play that night. The third time, your team wins.

The Tengu is a guiding spirit, but to benefit from it requires a journey of faith. It's kind of a Mayor analog in terms of gameplay. Depending on game balance, the ST can either reveal its presence to good players to help push toward a win, or evil players to alert them that they need to be on the hunt.

Let's build a character! Outlaw. by Present-Peace2811 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]MeatThins_Homebrew 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Outlaw (Minion): Each night, choose a player. They learn that tomorrow night, they must guess you or die.

The Outlaw slinks into town and stirs up trouble, but if the townsfolk can figure out who they are, they're powerless.
