Knaves – There are 2 Storytellers: one lies & one tells the truth. Once per game, at dusk, they might switch.
Interactions
This requires a very specific script to work well, and there are a few already out there. Try to avoid characters that can easily tell their information is wrong early to keep the players guessing which Storyteller is the truther.
Playing
Dive right in. Depending on your character, you will want to do different things. Do you get information once? Then just pick and hope. On-going? There is strategy in swapping and in staying with a Storyteller. Just remember which piece of information you got from whom to help you decode everything later, as usually town figures out the truther sooner rather than later.
Story Telling
Discuss and decide information with your Co-ST before waking players so you are ready and you can’t be meta’d. If you sense the players are close to figuring out, or have, with is the Truther, swap! Or don’t, but make the players think that you have!
Final Thoughts
A solid Bootlegger that is now official, similar to Tor, with a little added wrinkle. This time it is the swap of the truther and the liar storyteller. This is a solid addition to the Lorics, on the more serious side.
