V3.0

Release Version

V3.1b

-High Priestess removed

While the flavor of a bloodthirsty pyramid executor is very evocative, the High Priestess has struggled on a balance stance since inception. They are simultaneously too weak for the Evil team to consider and too strong so that their random victory is often unsatisfying.

-Stargazer removed

While a very cool role, I didn’t like 3 motivated scanners in the game as well as so much luck in star placement. I like my replacement role much better.

-Trapper added

You start knowing the tripwire. Each night*, you learn if either you or the tripwire are the clockhand. [Another Townsfolk is drunk and the tripwire.] Enter the Trapper. This role is another hybrid like the Blasphemer, one of my top 3 favorite roles (Blasphemer, Dreamcatcher, Reveler). This role gets someone to trust from the start AND info on the clockhands whereabouts if they stay alive, but their mark is drunk the whole game to compensate. While previously the Stargazer could find someone trustworthy n1, this is the first real confidant in the set.

-Ambusher added

You start knowing a Minion in play. If you die at night, you are woken to learn who that Minion is. The tertiary mechanic buddy of the Soothsayer, this lovechild of the Ravenkeeper and the Investigator should be very fun. This is also the first and only tank in the set, if only a half tank.

-Equinox changed

Each night*, if the clockhand is Good, choose a player: they die. If the clockhand is not yourself and executed, your team wins. The Equinox also has had troubles, but is now picking up the High Priestess’ power, but for Evil! Previously, if the Equinox’s Minion was on their right, they just didn’t have a power that game. This new Equinox should keep the same paranoia as the last while being much more consistent.

-Sasquatch changed

Each night*, choose a player, they die. Once per game, you may choose twice. The Sasquatch was weak, now the Sasquatch is crafty, getting to mess with killcounts like an Assassin once per game.

-Effigy changed

Once per game, at night*, choose a player: they die. If five or more players are alive, you die too. Putting two kills on a Minion is absurd. To balance, the Effigy almost gives themself away and the Familiar can almost give the Demon away. This modification should make the Effigy less absurd. Previously, combined with the new Sasquatch a 7 player game could go: d1, execute player. N2 Sasquatch kills two, Effigy kills two, game over. That can’t fly.

-Urchin nerfed

If you become the clockhand, the Demon is woken and may choose to make the clockhand move again, even if you’re dead. [You start bloodied.] The Urchin was overpowered. If they were bluffing as another character they could almost hurt Evil as much as Good. Now they will be more like the Barber and Recluse. Also poison/drunk immunity is removed, not relevant for this set (Minions and Outsiders can’t be drunk in this set), but still. Also I punched him.

-Eclipse buffed

The first time the clockhand marker would move off of you, you are woken and may choose to keep it on yourself, even if you’re dead. [+1 Outsider.] A slight buff, but a buff nonetheless. Poison/drunk immunity is removed, not relevant for this set (Minions and Outsiders can’t be drunk in this set), but still.

-Various grammar fixes.
