Banshee Release – A New Townsfolk

Description

If the Demon kills you, all players learn this. From now on, you may nominate twice per day and vote twice per nomination.

Interactions

A character in the realms of the Ravenkeeper/Sage/Farmer where you want to bait a demon kill, with the upside of being hard confirmed in the realm of the Virgin.

Three jinxes, all with demons, including the first Vortox jinx! Leviathan/Riot make sense, if the Banshee is executed/nominated by Riot, they get their ability. Vortox, the Banshee is still announced when they are killed.

Playing

Bait the evil team. Claim something they would want to target, get the demon to kill you. If you do manage to get killed by the demon, get all the information. You are hard confirmed with both the announcement and the ability to nominate when dead and double vote, so collect all information, build worlds and, hopefully, solve the game.

Story Telling

Nothing much to note here, just put on your best spooky voice if the Banshee dies to really sell the mood and theme. Remember that they can nominate when dead, and twice. When drunk/poisoned, they cannot do this and if they vote their dead vote is expended.

Final Thoughts

A Townsfolk that seems very powerful on first look but not unbalanced. Changes to meta around nominating towards the end of the game if people think there are overwhelming numbers of evil alive, leading to an end game with only evil alive? Now a dead player can still nominate the

The release script including Heretic is certainly interesting, but I think makes sense with regards to the change in the end game meta that the Banshee brings.

I also got the opportunity to play in the release stream game and it was an amazing game. No spoilers, but it is well worth a watch!
