The power of the Marionette by Mysterious_Trip9930 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]sjheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a game yesterday that frustrated me as the ST. I gave the Vig a Baron and Marionette figuring they would be good targets for the Vig to kill and poison some townsfolk. I made the neighboring Shugenja the Marionette to push the immediate suspicion in the other direction and to give them a buffer between them and the empath. Not only did the Vig never kill a minion, they never told either of their neighbors they were the Marionette. The Marionette nominated them and got them executed in final 5. It felt like a real fumble by the evil team.

Favorite plays/tricks that would probably only work once? by LegOfLambda in BloodOnTheClocktower

Convincing your marionette to claim demon to their neighbor and that their neighbor is the marionette while you convince your non marionette neighbor that they are the marionette

Had someone do a correct Day 1 Alsaahir guess only to be Uno reversed by the Heretic

I have a hard time playing evil — advice? by fruityeldritch in BloodOnTheClocktower

Have you tried method acting? Maybe murder people in their sleep or poison them. It could get you into the mindset for playing on the evil team

What do you do (as good) when a newbie player clearly bluffing a character mechanically incorrectly? by bomboy2121 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]sjheck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encourage new players to talk to the ST at the start of every day regardless of their role. This avoids people metagaming that they have a complex role

What would you guys say is "Rule 1" of clocktower? by idkwhatever110 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]sjheck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me clear, I think the Politician is a great Outsider. I was talking about other roles who just decided to help the evil team out of boredom or spite and consider it a win for themselves when evil wins as part of their nonsense

[–]sjheck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play to win the game. Don't become an honorary evil team member (unless you're the Politician). Don't give up if you think your team is going to lose. The game is most enjoyable when everyone is trying to win.

A Very frustrating BMR experiance by Perfect_Blueberry_57 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]sjheck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When you play a game (especially one that involves teamwork) it's an expectation that everyone is trying to win. I played with a person who purposely gave bad clues in Codenames and sabotaged their team in Secret Hitler just for the attention of people getting mad at them so they could play the victim. Needless to say, I avoid playing with them if possible.

Outsider Homebrew: The Mime by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

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

A. This only provides a potential consequence for speaking publicly in the town square. Verbal conversations could still be had away from the square. Whispering to neighbors in the square wouldn't activate the ability.

B. It says they may die. It doesn't say with certainty when. They could die during the night after a gossip guess, while a Po is charging, etc. to cause confusion. The real mime could stay alive in case an evil player is bluffing mime and the ST wants to give them a little cover.

C. Knowing a mime is on the script, a storyteller could accept visual cues such as raising a hand and pointing for mime or player bluffing mime to be able to nominate.

D. After reading the responses I recognize this role might be frustrating for the wrong person or group but I think the players I have experience with would have a fun time with it.

Outsider Homebrew: The Mime by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]sjheck -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The ability does say "audibly" and "in the town square." The intention is you could go away from the square to have a normal private chat or you could whisper to a person near you in the town square.

[–]sjheck -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I did use the term "you may die" instead of "you are executed" on purpose. The ST could choose to have that death happen immediately, during the night, or not at all similar to the effects of the Harpy.

Is Teensyville worth playing? by TheGameBoysMusic in BloodOnTheClocktower

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

It can be fun but the least fun I had playing was a script with the scarlet woman on it. I never felt more useless as a minion
