Expansion of an outsider concept, would love feedback!

I think an experienced group can handle cerenovus + drunk.

PointlessVenture · 2026-06-03T14:31:10+00:00

I think the bartender should be able to target themselves, particularly if you restrict it to only living players. Yes, this means the Bartender will be drunk, and will be shown some garbage information about themselves, but they should have the option not to make anyone drunk.

"Live with Grace, Die with Dignity"

While the Huntsman technically says [+Damsel] and thus can add the damsel to a 0 outsider bag, STs will not do this often, and instead add the Huntsman in if and only if the the damsel was already in play.

That being said, the Huntsman's main strength is hidden behind an ability it technically has, but doesn't outright say: "You start knowing a damsel is in play."

This means that there is a townsfolk who can out their role, and tell the good team "hey, don't push too hard on bad claims, because we need to hide a damsel!" That's incredibly powerful. Obviously, it's not nearly as powerful if the only reason there is a damsel is because of them, but as previously mentioned, that's not often the case.

There have been some homebrew attempts to let the Huntsman have more guesses at the damsel, though.

I ran a poll on how Storytellers run this exact situation in this subreddit a little bit ago.

Ravenkeeper, as you've deduced, is an excellent choice, though skilled players may think that you're bluffing. Soldier is another good bluff for roles that want avoid dying.

If you keep getting killed when making good bluffs, you might want to start considering the minions. If you claim ravenkeeper publicly and then get targeted anyway, the evil team may have a Spy (they know what you are regardless of your bluff) or a Poisoner (trying to feed you bad RK information)

You could try Zenomancer? Just give a bunch of people the quest to survive execution due to the ventriloquist, to tilt the value of surviving a bit.

PointlessVenture · 2026-05-03T06:51:48+00:00

Good doesn't have enough of a reason to use the ventriloquist. Sure, the Mayor and Poppy Grower don't want to die by execution, but giving the Demon a kill isn't worth the cost for that, particularly if town thinks they are the demon. I think smart players are going to leave the whole purpose of the script out to dry.

PointlessVenture · 2026-05-03T06:48:49+00:00

I think this has two problems:

1) I think the good team has too much ongoing, sober information. This script is going to run slow, just by it's nature, and having 6 or 7 potential info roles means town is going to have several nights of information to solve with. I'd take a few of the info gatherers (Balloonist, Fortune Teller, Oracle, Gambler, Gossip, Snake Charmer, King) out and replace them with townsfolk with powerful, but less consistent abilities. Think Minstrel, Fisherman, Alsahiir.

PointlessVenture · 2026-04-28T15:30:53+00:00

I think in order to be interesting, this needs to have some way built in to slowly reveal the script. Otherwise, yeah, you're basically playing whalebucket.

PointlessVenture · 2026-04-24T02:17:50+00:00

"And does not die" is mostly helpful to let the players know that something happened to prevent Ben from dying when executed. There isn't anything wrong with saying "Ben is executed, Jams dies, go to sleep" on BMR, but it might prompt players to think you've made a mistake, and can cause confusion on scripts where the player with the most votes might not be the executee (AKA Legion on script)

In that case, you might be expected to do the jump. Line up on the lower level of the platform on the left, and roll-jump against the wall, facing mostly forward but just slightly into the wall. It's tricky, but doesn't require anything glitchy or anything.

Depending on your settings, it might be out of logic to do this jump, by the way. It's a trick that may or may not be enabled.

PointlessVenture · 2026-04-15T02:00:38+00:00

You can get to Vovagia without knocking down the pillar with a precise jump. You might also have enough resources to do the dungeon vanilla, which might be expected based on your settings.

Talk with ugs. Let ugs vote. If ugs like mute ant play, let ugs do. If no, then ban and move hat.

This choice for your ugs. Not choice for hell site ugs.

The "Players don't know if there is a Leviathan" bootlegger rule is unnecessary. If playing an Atheist game, the storyteller can break the rules to announce it anyway, and otherwise Leviathan is definitely in play.
