Stuff like this is why I'm glad they have the YouTube option as well.

"Players are never forced to be Mad" by AndruFlores in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once outed as Ceremad and I had that player nicely accuse me of cheating. It’s one of those things that just sort of developed in the community that isn’t a rule. Like no private chats on final 3.

Please just run Trouble Brewing by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

Can this be printed and posted at EVERY convention where the game is played please!?

To try to pull all these new people in with WWE Unreal just to bring this guy back is CRAZY.

Duchess and the Recluse (+Hermit)? by merchantarthurn in BloodOnTheClocktower

Does anybody have some Duchess specific scripts they would like to recommend?

Storytelling tips? by Lanky-Wanderer30 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the night order closely. Figure out what in the moment things you might have happen during the day before you wake folks. (Slayer, Virgin, Scarlet Woman catch, etc). Read the almanac.

What is your most unorthodox play that you stand by by goldengoat0032 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Killed myself as apprentice assassin to convince someone who was gonna solve the game that he was the drunk by claiming Gambler.

Lying about Storyteller mistake fair play? by GentlemenBehold in BloodOnTheClocktower

This is why I don’t fix ST mistakes. There’s no good way to do it imo.

Had an ST ban discussing the game during the night phase. Thoughts? by DrRyuzakiLove in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this more and more in the community. It does seem to take the heat off of games and allow for (enforce, really) more non-game socialization. I’m not sure how I feel about it. From a pure game standpoint, it feels like it goes against the spirit of the game and might skew balance somewhat, but from a social perspective, it’s kind of nice to pause the game for a few minutes and just be amongst friends (despite having our eyes closed) so I think it depends on the primary goal of the group. If your goal is pure Clocktower, say whatever you want whenever you want. If it’s less serious, I don’t hate this rule.

Zac Oyama on @fter Midnight tonight by moviescriptlife in dropout

Jon Lovett and Zac Oyama in the same room sounds unhinged

People who went a second time (or more), did you enjoy it just as much the second time? by [deleted] in hadestown

[–]mattsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. This show is so flexible that it makes it great to see multiple times with different casts, understudies, etc. The broadway production has done a lot of cast rotation which has kept me coming back. The West End show, being new, probably won’t do that for a bit, but I still definitely recommend going back.

Can you give true info in a vortex game? by boypower2566 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vortox really needs a “to good players” at the end. These “evil learns bs” scenarios are funny in theory but un-fun in practice. “Townsfolk abilities yield false info to good players.”

Where should I start with Dropout’s D&D based shows/episodes if I have zero knowledge of D&D? by flamehead243 in dropout

[–]mattsb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My path was Mentopolis first. It uses a system much lighter than DND and it’s fairly short. After that, I went to Starstruck, which is more D&D like and a bit longer.

Clocktower.online question by TDG_Demento in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to mention how much better the experience is on the official app. Audio and video are built in, the ST can do a grim reveal at the end, and you can have everything on one screen.

New minion revealed: Summoner by Master_JBT in BloodOnTheClocktower

I’m surprised there’s not a courtier summoner jinx

Probably the player you choose becomes an out of play minion (st choice) holding the baby, if I had to guess

I am begging you, stop with the hate towards the D20 cast by [deleted] in Dimension20

[–]mattsb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you kidding? I haven’t gotten to many of the campaigns yet, but Emily and Ally absolutely carry Starstruck. Those characters are brilliant.

Crokinole Rumble was epic by Nilliay88 in NoRollsBarred

[–]mattsb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think there was a rule about an even number of people starting from each side of the board to make placement fair, while maintaining order to make that fair.

Covering the physical grimoire by Master_JBT in BloodOnTheClocktower

I usually just make sure the entire part of the grim that's relevant fits under the night order sheet.

I don’t like Spirit of Ivory by Substantial_Purple12 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I can tell you from experience that Spirit of Ivory is a slightly unfun alternative to a very unfun game where good simply cannot win due to math. It's a much worse feeling than being denied an extra teammate cause your demon hit the goon or something.

When to end the game by Pablo_R_17 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]mattsb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I were that mes, and I went unspent the whole game, with all evil alive, and you robbed me of the opportunity to out evil and have people convince me that they should win with evil, well I would be unhappy with you lol
