Djinnlegger Rule: If a Demon dies by execution, good wins. Summoner only removes 1 Demon. [+1 Demon]

Binary Supernovae is a Garden of Djinn World Cup finalist script featuring not one, but 2 demons! They’ll have to work together to wipe out the good team as efficiently as possible, but the catch is that good only needs to find one of them. Each demon has their own strengths and weaknesses to play around, and who knows, maybe they’ll even kill each other! Will the good team find a demon before it’s too late?

How to Run: When creating the bag, remove a Townsfolk token and replace it with a Demon token. On the first night, wake the Demons together to learn who the Minions are, much like how Minions wake together to learn the Demon normally. Each Demon gets their own set of bluffs, which may or may not overlap. If any Demon dies by execution, immediately end the game and announce that the good team has won, unless an ability says otherwise (i.e. Mastermind). If a Minion dies, or a Demon dies to an ability, this does not happen (including if a Summoner dies before creating a Demon).
Clarifications:
– The Djinnlegger rule removes a Townsfolk, not a Minion (or Outsider). A valid character distribution might look like 6 Townsfolk / 2 Outsiders / 2 Minions / 2 Demons.
– Summoner’s setup text is amended to [-1 Demon]. Nothing else is changed about it.
– This means that Summoner can duplicate an in-play Demon. I’m perfectly fine with STs allowing this, or not, just be clear before the game starts.
– Good should win at the end of a Mastermind day unless a good player is executed, in which case evil wins. This is not the only valid interpretation, but it’s my preferred ruling.
– In the same vein, if the Imp starpasses to the Mastermind on a Mastermind day, the game continues as normal (because there’s no more Mastermind ability and neither team is meeting a win condition).
ST Recommendations:
– Include a mix of decelerators and ongoing info if you can help it.
– Don’t be afraid to remove outsiders with Xaan, good is already down a townsfolk.
– Let days be longer than they normally would be. There’s about twice the number of kills each night, so there are fewer days.
– Don’t use an Ojo miss to kill more than one player, evil doesn’t need the help. DEFINITELY don’t do that to hide a Mastermind day.
– Alternative ruling: some STs like to run this script where the Demons don’t natively learn each other. If you think you’d prefer this, feel free to run it this way! Obviously tell your players in advance. This has been dubbed the “Luis rule”.
Versions:
There are currently 3 versions of the script. There’s the original version, with Shugenja and Xaan, there’s the current stable version, with Godfather and Golem, and there’s the current playtest version, with Recluse and Chambermaid. The original version is unbalanced and I don’t really recommend playing it, but the other two versions should be fine! The stable version has been playtested a bunch and has a relatively even winrate, while the playtest version adds some much-needed misinformation.
Tidbits:
– People have been abbreviating this script name as “BSN” (which is much appreciated in contrast to the alternative of “BS”).
– I looked it up; it’s pronounced “supernoVEE”. No “vay”, no “vie”, it’s “vee”. Which I myself didn’t know until being accepted as finalist. EDIT: upon further investigation, it appears that this is the most common way to pronounce it but sometimes other pronunciations are considered correct as well. idk anymore
– I’ve been playing BOTC for roughly 2 years now. I discovered it through my college’s board game club, where I now play and storytell regularly.
– You can find me on the Unofficial Clocktower Server pretty often, where I yap about all sorts of botc related things. Come say hi!
– Sometimes you can also find me on the official app, especially on world cup lobbies (of course I’m on BSN lobbies more often, but I wanna play them all!!)
– I have a blog! I haven’t done much on it yet though. You can read my ramblings about misinformation here.
Thanks to TPI & all the streams and STs for hosting the competition, to Beardy for hosting this page, to the other finalists for being generally awesome, to the #CSD folks on the unofficial server for helping me, and of course to you for playing!!
