    Next up with the bizarre is what you get when you take two different characters and mash them together. Double the information! Double the confirmation! Double the Chaos! This script can be a bit jank around the edges, Lortox can just win day 1 if none of them vote and it has the Lleech (Llil…

    Continuing with my goal for the year, perhaps I set the bar too low. 62 games this month which does include quite a few Teensies but also, happily, more games on stream. Some hilarious and classic moments, including some chaos such as Blood on the Crossover and a blind game. Just over 31% of the…

    Turns out, quite a lot, especially when playing Teeny Meanie Miney Mo. I pulled the Alchemist token so I was excited to see what ability I would get. I hoped for Poisoner but got Goblin, so I hatched a plan. Tell everyone and get executed day 1. The plan went very well, with 4 of…

    What is an Engineer to do? Playing Separation of Church and State, a delightful script by Aero, with 10 players the choice to me was obvious. While Legion is always an interesting choice, I decided that minion manipulation was the way to go, and with 2 minions in play I had options. Unfortunately, I was…

    An interesting home-brew script, for totally normal reasons not at all related to the time of year, being mid February. Cupid’s Bow, where some players were in hidden Revolutionary pairs where they didn’t have to sit next to each other, but still be the same alignment. I was evil, such joy! And what a team…

    Games of Blood on the Clocktower follow a tempo. Setup – roles are assigned. Night 1 information is provided. Day 1, the game commences in earnest and the deduction, along with the killing, begin. But what if there were deaths on Night 1? How is that possible, I hear you ask? All the roles that…

    Once you have made a script, and you think it’s pretty good, how can you go about confirming this, before play testing? You can use the handy BOTC Script Checker tool. This checks your script and allows you to avoid basic mistakes, or at least warn you of potential issues. Of course, just because the…
