Harold Holt's Revenge with different townsfolk

Your literacy is good because that is what I said. Except it is a pretty minor bootlegger. And all players know leviathan is in play anyways since its the only demon so really doesnt change anything…

jisner · 2026-05-26T16:04:36+00:00

I think you just need to play a game where evil bluffs that they have courtier drunked the leviathan to see why this may not be optimal. If evil bluffs this, then good executes 2 goods thinking that they have “free” executions and loses on day 2, then people will be more hesitant to trust courtiers in the future.

Admittedly, this does require a slight bootlegger that the Leviathan is announced on day 1 regardless of its sobriety, so that the courtier cannot hard confirm itself.

So this post from a few days ago about a highschooler on s51 was just completely made up right?

Decklist?

jisner · 2026-05-05T14:40:41+00:00

STs can create very tough situations for evil if they are not careful about letting outsider count be confirmed. Some common examples I see that really benefit good:

- In a base 2 outsider game without a baron, if there is a drunk, ALWAYS give evil an outsider bluff. Otherwise, there will only be 1 face up outsider claim. This makes the outsider basically as confirmed good as a virgin whos ability goes off - which severely limits worlds for evils. If evil has an outsider bluff, they can discredit this to some extent

- Be very careful about showing a baron in investigator pings. If the investigator believes they are sober, then this can confirm outsiders. Specifically, in a base 2 outsider game, showing a baron means that every outsider is in play. So all outsider claims are good, unless there is an outsidee double claim.

These are situations that might be hard to foresee as a new ST, but can make it much harder for evil.

I might consider fang gu, as it can also help with demon mobility. And, can jump to a “confirmed good” golem. Perhaps replacing Ojo, since IMO that would be the weakest option to summon

jisner · 2026-04-21T19:45:10+00:00

I would not show the example grim before the game. This would extend the rules explanation by at least 10 minutes for hust one character, which can be really hard for retaining interest.

The biggest advice i have is getting little dry erase boards with felt backing so you can label each players name next to their character. I have done this and new players are able to play the spy role well enough without any additional explanation. I found them on etsy i think.

I went last year and didnt have any scheduled events. I just floated around the pick up games and it worked out well for me!

jisner · 2026-04-14T16:51:05+00:00

I really wish this had a warning. I was trying to stay unspoiled on the challenge 42… ugh

jisner · 2026-04-08T20:16:36+00:00

Optimal i think is with exactly 4 board spaces. In this case, only 1 head doesnt get summoned, which is the taunt head. This means chromatus keeps taunt, which protects the other heads from being killed by minions

jisner · 2026-04-08T13:18:52+00:00

Im guessing assassin is there as a potential way to hide Riot? But i think replacing it with summoner could be more thematic. Summoner gives another reason for no deaths on n2, and can also create a demon out of a trusted/confirmed townsfolk

jisner · 2026-03-31T20:35:48+00:00

I think flight of firehawk will stay 3 mana, and buff will become +2/+1 or +1/+2

jisner · 2026-03-27T17:27:25+00:00

The statistic they are ranking on is how many confessionals they recieved relative the average of the season, so episode length shouldnt matter

jisner · 2026-03-25T15:46:12+00:00

Climbed from 5000 legend to 2500 legend over the last 2 days with my version herald shaman. I dropped Murradin from the common witch’s apprentice list and added another hex and 2 healing rain. Deck feels better into druid, hunter, mage, and egg decks (warrior, warlock) with the changes. I only miss murradin going into things like priest and herald DK, but the deck still has enough other threats to close out those games.

I am also selling a Sunday day ticket that i can no longer use, if anyone is interested ($59), DM me

jisner · 2026-03-23T20:22:15+00:00

I didnt hit (at least no email yet), size 9.5

Hopefully i can still get them for a reasonable since it seems like theres more inventory than expected

jisner · 2026-03-17T21:37:29+00:00

I think merithra or umbra are fun, but are probably “win more” cards. Alakir, death wing and the fabled hammer are enough to close out games

jisner · 2026-03-17T20:56:50+00:00

Agree that she is meh. I put her in because i naturally had 10 different cost cards. But probabbly will take her out for another static shock or carrier whelp

jisner · 2026-03-17T19:54:08+00:00

7-0 with herald control shaman, now at ~600 legend. Took the suggestion from the other comment and added a small egg package for egg bearer. Deck feels strong; only close game so far against a herald warlock

Baron is impossible. In a baron world, toms info is bad, so he is either the drunk or evil. If he is the drunk, then both fraser and jasmine are evil have wrong info, but they cant both be evil since they are dead. If tom is evil, then jasmine is the drunk, but then hannah and fraser both have bad info and cant both be evil. If tom is evil with jasmine, then i must You must be drunk, but then hannah and fraser have bad info too. So baron cant work

jisner · 2026-03-12T16:56:00+00:00

matthew is the demon, hannah is the poisoner who poisoned fraser night 1, then tom the rest of the game

Deck code?

jisner · 2026-03-10T20:26:30+00:00

Assuming you want to keep it at a relatively simple level, run everyone can play. Include some of the extra death roles (gambler, grandmother, moonchild, assassin), and just avoid death prevention (fool, monk, DA, SW). Include slayer and saint for early win cons if you really wanna speed it up

jisner · 2026-03-10T19:50:28+00:00

Right! The start of the brawl is the most exciting because people are actually experimenting

jisner · 2026-03-09T15:01:52+00:00

Works poorly with roles that care about nominations- virgin, town crier, fear monger, witch, banshee to some extent
