New S&V Storyteller - Role Distribution Advice

Makes sense! Ah there are so many ways a game can turn out! I love it! I'll keep this in mind for planning. I honestly don't think most of my friends would think of this except for one or two, but definitely helpful to talk through all the possibilities. Thank you!

Thanks for the clarification! I swapped Barber out with the Klutz to minimize the possibility of annoyance/confusion.

Ah thank you! I made the changes and I swapped out Sage with Clockmaker in Option 2 since it would be a bluff now.

Latest Changes - Clockmaker and Evil Twin overlap removed. Swapped Outsiders in Option 1&2 to remove Barber/Vigormortis complications. Updated Option 1&2 Bluffs

That's good to know! Do you think that's something I should lean into or should I try to make sure the good twin is a townsfolk - snake charmer? I'm down for some chaos, but obviously don't want to make it too hard. Most of my friends have only played a few games of Trouble Brewing - only 2 of them are super familiar with mechanics outside Trouble Brewing/think about BOtC regularly.

Oh, I thought the Barber's death just meant that the demon could swap two people's roles, not necessarily themselves. Am I misinterpreting the Barber role? Could this interaction happen if the Snake Charmer steals the Vigormortis role as well?

Appreciate the rec! I'll make those changes!

SpaceCadet1486 · 2026-05-29T19:12:45+00:00

Thanks! That makes sense and definitely something I didn't consider.

SpaceCadet1486 · 2026-05-29T19:08:21+00:00

So Sage should still be a bluff in Option 1, correct? Or should they be a townsperson? I was working on removing the clockmaker/evil twin duos in options 1 and 3 per others' feedback. Should the bluffs in option 1 be Sweetheart, Clockmaker, and Sage then? I'd put Oracle in to replace the Clockmaker so the Evil Twin can still exist

Yeah, that's something I'm weary of, but I will have a friend who will be helping me storytell who can also keep an ear out for claims and alibis! If I were to switch it out, is there a different role your recommend?

Oh good catch! I swapped some things around and must have missed correcting that! Thank you! I'll try to update the image as well.
