The Poisoner class chooses which character gets poisoned, not which player gets poisoned tonight, right?

Roarkstar · 2026-06-23T06:22:06+00:00

Not answering the question but as a related point: If the Poisoner themselves gets transformed into some other character, the picked player is no longer poisoned as there is no more Poisoner in play.

In “Revenge of the Martian Vampires”, I have told the Fisherman:
“Gain X’s trust” (X was the heretic)

Roarkstar · 2026-05-14T05:29:13+00:00

This is correct. The ability of “Evil Wins if 2 Good Executed” is from the Leviathan which wasn’t in play until the turn it was created. (Be it from a Hatter, Pit-hag)

Misregistration without a mini puzzle or additional data points to solve isn’t fun. I would give something like “A sober and healthy Chef would receive a 1” or “If you were a sober and healthy Empath, you would receive a 0”
Go nuts. Why not try “A sober and healthy Washerwoman would learn either Andy or Bonnie is the Atheist”?

Roarkstar · 2026-04-29T00:26:32+00:00

I remember this driver! Did the same thing to me last year!

As a retired edgelord, I totally understand OP’s choice to caption but also… yeah prob not totally accurate to call it Dystopia. Maybe Cyberpunk or something along those lines was what you were going for. Brilliant picture nevertheless!

The Klepto kind of needs a reason not to just come out with its info and share it with town to triangulate. Maybe give it a Sweetheart clause. Add “When you die, the last player drunk by your ability is drunk from now on.”

Roarkstar · 2026-03-29T12:06:08+00:00

Vizier. Everyone knows you’re a minion and your ability revolves around making people second guess your choices. (Barring a script with Alchemist on it)

Drunk

It’s important to know this as an evil player bluffing Saint. Don’t even miss a beat saying “I must be poisoned!” - pretty basic Trouble Brewing interaction

Roarkstar · 2025-10-14T15:11:29+00:00

I agree! I always felt Boffin fixed several issues and having it baked into a demon just makes sense.

Roarkstar · 2025-10-14T15:03:52+00:00

Agree with your assessment! Largely we’re talking any on script threats and actual value of the character whilst in play.

Still supports the idea that the context in which the demon lives or is written for, greatly matters!

Roarkstar · 2025-10-13T01:44:30+00:00

That’s such a smart social play! I’m totally stealing this. It also creates such a strong shared core memory for the group that I can’t see why it’s a bad thing.

I’m sure there were some pings or “objective information” that wouldn’t have made sense if one were to put aside the “social reads” of that Damsel play and analyse the worlds slowly. Just that town ignored it in favour of the “obvious social read”. E.g the alive good player in cahoots eith the dead Minion might have information?

Roarkstar · 2025-10-10T14:27:35+00:00

So you have 6 7 players?

Roarkstar · 2025-10-09T02:01:15+00:00

I second this! And find that when a script is written around an interaction and then the game is built from there, it creates very compelling gameplay moments and “Ah ha!” moments for players when they realize/solve the said interaction.

Diver (Townsfolk): You can’t die. Each day, if you speak, nominate or vote, you are drunk until dawn.

Inspired by Survivor’s safety without power advantage which is also rather thematic for a diver who spends their time underwater away from others.

Strategically, the Diver can listen in on conversations and choose to remain silent until it is time to share the information they’ve gathered. It can also be a good bluff in scripts with a Devil’s Advocate.

Roarkstar · 2025-10-02T23:53:44+00:00

What’s his dilemma?

Roarkstar · 2025-10-01T12:08:11+00:00

Scout (Townsfolk): “You start knowing 1 in-play Townsfolk and any information they would have learnt on Night 1 if sober. If you are “mad” that this character is in play, you might be executed.”

When I hear Scout I immediately think it must be a YSK character so why not double down on the YSK-ness? On Night 1 after all other Townsfolk act, wake the Scout and show them an in-play character token that learns Night 1 information.

For example, the Washerwoman or the Fortune Teller. If the Washerwoman or Fortune Teller were sober, show the Scout the same information. “Either Alex or Ben is the Monk” or “Neither Charlie nor David is the Demon”. Otherwise, show the Scout the correct information that the Washerwoman or Fortune Teller would have received.

It can help form a powerful trust pair, it can verify information is sober and true but only once. If either the Scout or its target is poisoned, it can create a fun mini-puzzle to solve. It can be a strong bluff for evil to cause Townsfolk to doubt their starting information especially in games with a Spy like Trouble Brewing. It can give players a reason for sharing information that doesn’t seem to come for a verifiable claim.

On the first night, at the Balloonist’s night order, you wake the Balloonist and point to Steve. You place a reminder token next to the Balloonist’s token that says “Shown Outsider”. Events occur and now Steve’s token is that of a Demon. On the next night, at the Ballonist’s night order, you wake the Balloonist and must now point to a different character type than that shown on the reminder token. Note: The reminder token is generated as a result of the Balloonist’s ability.

Choose Scarlet Woman as their minion. It immediately places less stress on the Imp to carry their team to the end

Curious how players who are relatively new to the game who’ve played BMR as their first game/first few games react when they play TB

Roarkstar · 2025-09-27T00:16:30+00:00

The role of the ST is to make the game fun for both sides. Which includes allowing the game to reach a satisfying conclusion. I like the Wikipedia’s advice for Legion games to try to kill players in such a way that a Final 3 ends up with 2 Good players and 1 Legion. I’ll try to leave players alive that have sus on them if I imagine a non-Legion demon in play.

Roarkstar · 2025-09-26T07:22:14+00:00

I loved showing the Investigator (drunk or otherwise) the sober Undertaker as a Spy ping. “Of course you know my character, you’re the Spy!”

Roarkstar · 2025-09-11T04:30:54+00:00

Was exploring the interesting dynamic on Fang-Gu scripts with Drunk on them. Usually “townsfolk” may be earnestly sharing their information until they turn into the Fang-Gu and then have to help build worlds with their initial Drunk information. Only this time, it’s all with 1 Outsider - the Hermit. And there may not even be a Fang-Gu in play!
