    Clocktower pits people against each other, two competing teams. But, what if everyone worked together to win, but not with an Atheist? Enter Trouble Gooning, where each Trouble Brewing character also has the Goon ability of changing alignments, with a slight alteration where only townsfolk are drunk when picking a goon. This game, as one…

    The first, of hopefully many, Clocktower Convention Australia, just wrapped up and what a time I had! A weekend packed full of amazing fun, silly chaos and everything in between. I was proud and privileged to be an official helper for it, so I got to experience behind the scenes as well. Friday Kicking off…

    I was the Undertaker in TB, a fabulous role that can help solve worlds. The key is surviving and executing. I claimed on day 1 to Jams the ‘Soldier’ and entered a role-swap, which meant part 1, surviving, was achieved. Next was executing. Luckily, with the Aussie TPI Stream crew, that’s rarely an issue. I…

    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…

    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…

    How did a lunatic win a game for evil? Let me tell you how. This is a cautionary tale for any Ojo that might be a Lunatic – be careful on who you tell your choices as it just might end up in the wrong hands. I, thankfully, was the actual demon, an Ojo, this…

    I was fortunate enough to play on the Thursday night TPI stream, the game before the Village Idiot release. I went into that game thinking I’d never been evil on stream before and, lo-and-behold, there it was. A big red hand. I was Legion. We were playing Recruitment Agency, and I was thankful that Lunatic…

    Sometimes in this game, the stars just align and things go perfectly for an amazing time. This was one of those. Laura was the demon, and I one of her minions. We were neighbours which is always great for easy communication. We always talk a lot so all the messages didn’t raise suspicion. She, the…

    BMR. Love it or hate it, it’s got some great characters on it. The Lunatic is one of those. Great, in theory but so hard to balance for the Story Teller. This brings me to a memorable game. I was the Shabaloth, or so I thought. My ‘minion’, the Assassin talked to me in the…
