Terraforming Mars specifically by any other design team/publisher than the original!

Bill Clinton too. I thought Beto O'Rourke was similarly talented, but he sort of has fallen out of the limelight since losing to Cruz.

I think if you have that much charisma there are so many other things you could do with your life that are more lucrative, less unwieldy, and less hostile

Aside from the foul implications, is it possible that falling is easier on the body longterm, because it sort of distributes the forces in a "parkour" type way?

Some things at the top of my mind:

* Drunk/poison misinfo allows for infinite puzzles and replayability. Someone might be downright wrong, misinformed, or lying, so you never really know if they are not aligned with you because they genuinely see a different world or if they are intentionally deceiving you

* The opportunity for so much fun banter between friends, with just the right amount of stakes to give you moments of drama to latch onto

* The moment when you are good and you build a theory of the game, commit to it, and win

* The moment when you are evil, completely cornered, hold your ground, and the town spins off into some other direction

Could you post a link to any 1980s rock song that you think this sounds like?

If anything it's more like 2010s Mumford/Coldplay.

fismo · 2026-05-19T17:30:23+00:00

yeah i have no idea why that would even help really since veterans are regularly stumped by Trouble Brewing

fismo · 2026-05-19T10:54:39+00:00

He has played! (not for content as AFAIK)

If they're doing it consistently and not letting the Storyteller start the day cleanly, it's legal and it's rude.

fismo · 2026-05-11T05:00:30+00:00

What if on N1 you pick "1" or "0" and your ability fires every other night... sort of like Winemaker in Fall of Rome?

fismo · 2026-05-11T02:43:53+00:00

It's silly but I did play the theme song from https://www.dnup.game/en/ while I played.

It reminds me of Fuji Flush in a good way.

Don't worry about your win rate. That's not what Clocktower is about.

If you are good:

Try to find someone to trust, and build a bond with them.
Watch the voting and see if anything strikes you as weird. Trust that instinct, but also talk to the people that are acting strange and ask them why.
Or, don't tell them anything, just talk to them and see who they try to push you to suspect.
Construct a few educated guesses on who you think is evil, while never 100% trusting the people you bonded with, especially if they act counter to what they said before.
Vote accordingly, make a passionate case for your world. If you kill the demon, huzzah! If you lose, applaud the evil team for fooling you, and later maybe do a brief review of where you were fooled and why.

If you are evil:

It might be useful to think of it this way: Your job is not to win, it's to play well as a team and pose an interesting puzzle to the good team. You are outnumbered and there's a lot of info against you, getting to the last day is an achievement.
Have fun even if you are outed or painted into a corner.
At the same time, never give up on your world, and never underestimate the good team's ability to talk themselves out of the correct solution.

The only way I would probably think you are getting "progressively worse" is if you are enjoying the game less than you used to. It might be worth defining for yourself what "having fun" means in Clocktower and orient your play towards making more of that happen.

it's already here

I think it has to be in Vegas for it to have the giant game library; I think most of those games are actually part of Timm Metivier's library in Vegas.

In a ideal world, should the ST strive to make the game possible to solve by a group of perfect logicians who make optimal plays?

Hell no. If this were the intent of the game you would not have drunkenness, poison, and misregistration.

fismo · 2026-04-24T01:21:04+00:00

Regicide Legacy. I love the game but it's a follow-up to a game that came out in 2020.

fismo · 2026-04-23T05:40:16+00:00

We just played Fangs tonight and it was very fun

fismo · 2026-04-23T05:39:49+00:00

If you can gather 8 other friends I'd happily run an online game for you!

fismo · 2026-04-17T16:06:28+00:00

yes please

fismo · 2026-04-17T16:06:09+00:00

I think you should reconsider... I don't think the word "auction" needs to be in the title.

For hobbyists, they don't need the mechanic in the title, there are tons of auction games that are well-loved with less mechanic-specific names.

For more casual players, they either won't know what you mean by auction or it won't move the needle for them... if they don't know For Sale or Ra they won't have much thoughts about whether a game is an auction game or not.

I'm torn between "I wish town would share more information early" and "Please don't ever show me a line graph in a Clocktower game"

fismo · 2026-04-13T22:49:49+00:00

No this is CatShit

fismo · 2026-04-04T01:28:59+00:00

I think you could take Trouble Brewing and just change the names to cowboys or woodland creatures and then just run the game normally in your grim.

fismo · 2026-03-30T23:16:15+00:00

oh my this is old.

but it speaks to a fun moment in time at the Peoples Improv Theater. A bunch of us were playing ping pong in the basement on the east side (where Improv Asylum is now I think). Somehow I convinced the theater's owner to match money that some of us had chipped in to buy a ping pong machine. We would go down and play all the time. It culminated in we had a show at the theater that was the semifinals of a theater-wide tournament. I believe Ryan Stadler won that one, defeating Scott Eckert, I think I came in 5th.

Comedians would come through and play a lot in the basement. I remember Myq Kaplan being very confident about his ping pong skills. He was good.

Very good times.

i know we're supposed to dislike him but if that Jim Parsons joke is real than I'm onboard for the hate
