engineer. I love engineer it’s so fun and cool and the best ever
that being said, I understand why it’s not used often
banshee's real power is allow people to be wrong and still let f3 happened
why would someone put Kazali with Snitch
but also, I also seconded Snitch as my favorite unpopular
Also adding pacifist to this because requiem
Pukka and Puzzlemaster, I really like them
1/19: Update to this question. A BOTC character of your choice has asked for 1 wish. However, they asked for a wish from the Wizard and will recieve a price
What did your chosen character wish for? And what was the price?
(Otional: What was the clue, if any?)
The Savant wishes for the ability to walk again, but as a price their arms stop working and they have to resort to writing things down with their mouth
Clue: i dunno, it's kinda obvious

Wish: Cake
Price: Can't eant anything except cake without throwing up
Clue: Their mouth is always covered with frosting
Legion
YES! SO HAPPY FOR THIS PROMPT
For everyone to understand their cult
Downside:Everyone is dead, All 0 people understand their cult
Wish generator
: perfect knowledge of how exactly the universe works
Price: They are unable to tell anyone or write it down or otherwise make it known to anyone else, the secret will stay with them to the grave
unlimited candies
Downside: a third of your candy supplies is spiked
wishes for infinite wishes
cost: the wizard is the one who gets the wishes
clue: the wiz/st/whoever starts saying "my wish is my command" instead from now on
Lady's question s fun, but it seems a bit rude to interrupt Vatical's question? It seems polite to wait a day for a next question, no?
Or isn't that a rule of this thread?
barrowfog come to existence
price: permanently locked into homebrew channels such as #homebrew-discussion and #speculation-and-spoilers
It is polite and tradition, but we’ve had multiple active questions at a time before
Yeah, and everytime I was somewhat annoyed, but I am not sure if my annoyance was justified (because there isn't actually a rule) or not
but oke, carry on
harpy 😔
I agree and was going to find a way to mention it but a lot of the time things get missed in the number of posts
Harpy
What is this Harpy agenda
My own imprssion is that harpy isn't popular because people aren't strict enough on enforcing harpymadness, making it incredibly weak.
Harpy when “they read socially evil”
exactly
To quote myself: "Harpy instructions should be more ‘you think it is vital thzt this person is executed today because of reasons’ and less ‘oh, he just sounds somewhat evil to me so I am just goinf to nominate him but you ginuys do you if you’t believe me’'
Organ grinder
After they destroyed organ grinder, I am sad
what was og grinder?
instead of making itself drunk it was immune to votes unless it voted on itself
#justdoboth
The greatest thing about OG OG was that you could pithag good players into the organ grinder
which is hilarious
Og og 🔥
CESTs?
Community endorsed storytellers
I remember reading this and having the "??? I'm recognizable???" reaction
but also that being recognizable as "a yapper" is extremely funny
Being able to talk to dead people
No price, that one’s just a lot worse than it sounds
Vizier (purely because of quadjank)
Wait I recognize that... dropout??
nah Chris and Jack
For the record I do not like vizier as a character and quadjank is in part an attempt to amend it
I also don't like preacher engi or alchemist
They just all fit together somehow
I think viz is really cool on quadjank because it maintains the announcement (which is kinda necessary for the character to function) without outing the player's minion status
would be doing a favour to deny that one
what the fuck hystrex
I thought you’re like
cool and smart
turn out you’re just another custscript fun and whimsy hater 😔
aren't we all
Boffing giving alchemist-vizier to the demon
isn't that just fun
1/20 - Egg's question in #general
- Po
- Imp
- Leviathan
We had a variant of this question months ago and it's one I think about at random because I wasn't around for the first variant and it's so interesting
I think my most confident answer is Vortox for #3
im pretty sure we've done this one already but sure
- Imp
- Vig
- Kazali
- All the dark triad demons are super fun but they're super fun in extremely different ways
- Kazali

Though actually imp or LM for #2 are at least as good answers (if you want a job done right, do it yourself)
The Eye (from Face your Fears)
Hannibal (from Fall of Rome)
Kabal (from New World Chaos)
1.) Zombuul/Legion/Pukka/LM
2.) Leviathan/Fang Gu
3.) Leviathan/LM/No Dashii/Vortox
1.Legion/Zombuul/Alhad
2.Leviathan/Alhad
3.Legion/Leviathan/Alhad/Zombuul
Kazali
Shabaloth
Fang Gu
you like being in kabaltician hell as good?!
YEAH
I find it funny how these are the base 3 homebrews




Shoutout to legion for all 3
appreicated
that was the point lol
- Fang Gu
- Lil' Monsta
- Shabaloth
smh no homebrew
I don't think any particular homebrew demon is more fun in any of those categories than the vanilla ones 🤷♀️



fang gu because it's broken lol
vigor because it's kinda weak but i like having fun
vortox because it's weak but enough people cope it isn't
Well, depends how we define demon.
I’d say



But I guess that doesn’t really count
So:



- LM. If moving doesnt count ig alhad?
- Yagga
- Alhad
Yagga games are usually pretty funny except when I am the yagga because then I just suck 🔥
- Kazali
- Kazali
- Al-Hadikhia
1 Fang gu - really fun trying to estimate the risk reward of jumping to outsiders, how trusted they are with what they're saying, or trying to guess which cagey players are actually outsiders and if they're worth jumping to
2 Kazali - a lot of fun getting picked and learning that night 1, makes me feel like other people think I'm a good evil player
3 Leviathan - just love playing leviathan games
- Yaggababble
- Riot
- No Dashii
1/21 What fictional character would you want to play clocktower with, how do you think they would play?
Kokichi Ouma; Exactly how it’s meant to be played (claims Goblin in conversations and whenever nominated, wins even while Goblin isn’t on script)
Engineer from Tf2: Will somehow create quadjank from any script possible and rube Goldberg a win
Spy from tf2 would just actually disguise himself irl as the confirmed virgin player and then win
I could see Wirt from OTGW going through a fun learning curve as he learns the game and improves over time
Taucris from Provenance by Ann Leckie. She just seems chill, plus she's a detective so she'd be good at it.
I would definitely play with Poppy from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, she would definitely be the best evil player ever
This is true
Spy from TF2 is just boffin+spy
Golem from blood on the Clocktower, they’d probably do some golem smashing
(id: BABA IS TOWNSFOLK AND GOOD AND NOT GOOD KILL)
idk it'd be mad funny
Killua from Hunter x Hunter. I imagine he’d love lying his ass off
He probably wouldn’t be a pure chaos player, but he does seem like the player who lies every day until final day. As if every character was Snake Charmer
Alternatively, Joseph Joestar from Part 2 or 3. He’d be a riot to have around (and also lie all the time)
Your next words will be "I'm the Goblin"
“I’m the Goblin”
WHA?!
man
going through this question have made me realized how few anime/manga character acts like
a person capable of playing social deduction game
Any standout answers that made you think that?
not particularly
more like, i was just
"hmmm, who can I play with"
and then the option just narrows down
bring Light Yagami. That will go well, trust
that man would stay in town square 4 days in a row
as the spy
Light drawing evil & L drawing good
and Misa throwing cause she got put on the opposite team from Light
you know what
i'll only play botc with like, any fictional characters
provided i can garden their ass

How about an example with a character of choice? :)
(if you want it easy, garden someone who’s been mentioned thus far)
I wish I could storytell to the Star Trek Next Generation crew. Data would build all 120 worlds immediately upon hearing everyone’s claims, then balk at the Washerwoman-confirmed Ravenkeeper for bluffing Monk.
Danganronpa crew
22/1: I planned to do this one a while ago but forgot, now that there won't be any more releases for a while, which monthly release is your favourite? (Organ Grinder and everything after)
I think it’s a toss-up between Wizard, Kazali, and Zealot
Actually are we talking about the character or the stream release itself
If character, These
If actual release, Gnome
I was imagining character
Kazali is mine personally. Great character theming, fun build up and speculation, and seeing that Outsider mod for the first time was a wild experience
If based solely on actual character though, Shugenja
Wizard, as long as the players are sensible, it can be soooo much fun
The unkriticizable Kazali:
(I spent a long time trying to think of an appropriate k-word)
i love me some xaan gaming
oooh Xaan was fun
Xaan agreed- the hype was great fur something so good
Xaan
i love the boffin so much
it's such a cool little character
xaan is a close second
Extremely fond of the xaan. Great both to script build around and to add on if needed, super fun puzzle for both teams, can play in a few different ways, really helps out some demons that need more script building support
Wizard, my favorite character in all of clocktwoer
Hatter, Kazali, Xaan and Ogre are definitely top contenders as they’re all amazing, Nothing tops Yaggababble. It’s such an original, creative and fun demon that works in the style of the game
can i have a list 🥺 i'm new to the fandom and don't remember all of them
i gotchu
thanks 💕
Gave +1 Thanks to @foggy grotto (current: #101 - 365)
Organ Grinder
Vizier

Harpy
Plague Doctor
Shugenja

Hatter
Kazali
Village Idiot
Yaggababble
Summoner
Banshee
Ogre
Alsaahir
Zealot
Lord of Typhon
Boffin
Gnome
Xaan
Wizard
100%
Yeah I joined just after Village Idiot released
wait VI is in this list. my pick is 100% VI
Kazali, Harpy, Vizier, and Banshee are all just so perfect
VI is like, top 3 townsfolk in the game imo
I think seeing Yagga release was soooo cool when I first started
but people have convinced me to "stop liking" Kazali and Harpy
Rare Vizier fan spotted
so I'll say Banshee
I think I like Wizard and Kazali more though
Harpy I get but why tf are people hating on Kazali
i think vizier can be fun but you need to be a certain kind of person to enjoy playing vizier i think
Vizier is a cool concept but idk if it works
You need to stop immediately disliking characters as soon as someone expresses a contrary opinion and I say this solely and entirely because someone has convinced you to dislike Kazali
i don't mean this in a bad way btw, i just think a lot of people do not enjoy playing outed evil
something something unhealthy social dynamics
The one vizier game I ever played had someone who didn’t mind being outed evil and it was pretty fun
you say this until alia starts to like harpy again too 😉
that's entirely fair
I made this spreadsheet with all the reveals going back to the kickstarter https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQzgmVqvPzLPLdzP8mL-89et3p5SZVoPjnfB-HfeVMAVefUEIEf0NZIXmvWu_0s2udoEU5CjxHhe8f9/pubhtml
But you need to like that
if you think kazali is toxic get a better group ngl
Alia still likes harpy, that's the problem
that is not a character issue
no i still love kazali
but i feel conflicted about my love for it
it's like poppy grower
You're missing the two words at the end here which are "are based"
kazali is a demon I find it hard to be super excited about
is Magician kind of an objectively better and more fun character than Poppy Grower? Probably
kazali is definitely my second favorite demon
but I still love Poppy Grower
I think a majority of kazali scripts I've seen have a very clear minion choice on them, and after the first night the kazali doesn't really ahve a unique ability
I like kazali, can be hard to fit on scripts because of the outsider mod and making it so there's no obvious choice which minions to choose though
people have "convinced" me to "not like" Harpy, Poppy Grower, Kazali, and Marionette, all of which have been my favorite character(s) at different points in the "past"
Yeah people love putting kazali on scripts where it absolutely sucks ass
I also really really don't like the arbitrary outsider modification. I know it's necessary for the character to work but it kinda irks me
oh boy
get ready for vati CC textwall
I need to run livetext in 50 minutes
I will say that if I see Kazali and then Pit-Hag/Poisoner in #custom-script-discussion, I immediately point that out
Actually, if I see Poisoner at all, I immediately point that out
it's one of my built-in automatic routines
At this point the second of those is just cargo culting
i will be there 🔥
as you've shown, you do like pointing out poisoner as a script issue 😉
that was sarcasm to be fair
It's legitimately a little scary to me that I just say shit and suddenly 3 kids start posting it everywhere
However I'm right about everything so it's fine
because you make good, thought-provoking points
you, hystrex, and my own observation and experimentation have led me to my opinion about poisoner
i'm selectively deaf to your thoughts about harpy
let's not oversimplify them into 'poisoner doesn't go on scripts' then 😉
but everything else
fine, i'll update the mantra
gasp vati winked. im the only one allowed to wink 😦
"poisoner doesn't go on 95% of scripts, this one included"
"poisoner doesn't go on 50% of scripts"
i literally bought a monopoly on the emoji
I take bits and pieces from the people who interest me and rebuild them into myself
i do think Poisoner : Trouble Brewing :: Minstrel : BMR
Poisoner fits well on TB, and people think that because of that, it fits well anywhere
rather similarly to BMR
actually
bit of a warning, after a while of winking your eye starts twitching uncontrollably
Mastermind is probably a better comparison
I replaced it with a better robotic eye
i should do that
Anyway kazali is just vigor if it worked on a fundamental level (I will not elaborate)
i. Need elaboration
Not Vat I’m guessing it’s referencing how both of these Demons are ones that make Minions more socially trustworthy. Vigor does that by carving out bluffing space with its Outsider mod and killing Minions, while Kazali does it by giving their Minions free bluffs (Kazali can also choose players they know have a good social game when evil)
Vigor overall works fine to me on a fundamental level but it’s so much more challenging and unintuitive for players to understand compared to Kazali. And Vigor in general is sort of a mess of multiple different abilities in one (what with the dead Minions, fewer Outsiders, and poison on top. Vigor is absolutely built to fill in the design holes in SnV lmao)
My answer to pig’s question has to be Wizard (obviously) but I think the close second for me is Xaan
After actually playing some games with VI I’ve come round to it a lot more than I previously had, so it’s around B tier now
Oh also boffin goes hard
Three absolutely banger minions back to back to (almost) back
3 banger minions back to back, and gnome
Kazali probably, no better feeling than being kaz picked
You also need to have a specific group
-# or just build a script around vizier not being vizier
It’s gotta be Kazali for me. I love the meta especially on a solo Kazali script (Shout out to The Minion Menu!)
@next marlin are you gonna let this slide
Livevoice does not see the vision of 6 outsiders and I have accepted this
Anyway put cc in your script polls until they do
This is why livetext is better
Livetext sees the vision in just about everything
Sometimes it's a 20/800 vision
time isn’t real
time isn't real and i'm the one that killed it
Organ grinder
Zealot
Clockmaker vs Hystrex who would win
Weren’t all the apprentices spies?
My personal answer would be Xaan
1/23: What is your favorite Outsider to play is? Why?
Probably….. Damsel or Recluse
Damsel because being important to hide is fun
Recluse because I play it like saint
Puzzlemaster because I love trying to solve the entire game which that character is all about
Mutant. Self explanatory
i really go all in with mutant madness, i will do my best to survive as long as possible, even when its probably not the best idea. such as when i was the lleech hosted mutant that bluffed king the entire game and made it to final three. i did not win that game
- Politician so I can tunnel and win
- Puzzlemaster so I can tunnel and lose
Poli moreso though, it's like playing demon without any stakes
I'd say goon but evil teams seem to not want me on their team these days (the po needed to charge and nobody else had choosing power)
never been the poli but it’s gotta be goon
Turns out being evil is fun I guess
shocker
Mutant for me. Madness is just super fun
Oh 100%
Goon
PM is cool as well
Mutant, Damsel, and I really want to try Zealot (I bluffed it once as demon and voted myself off)
Damsel or Poli, probably
Oh I missed why
Mutant and Damsel are fun excuses to lie
I like when someone calls me out and I’m just like “uhhhhh you’ll see”
Which is ironic because I hate when people do it to me
Zealot just sounds fun
I bluffed cannibal-zealot and had to kill myself it was hilarious
heretic
playing as heretic is the closest blood on the clocktower gets to psychological torme nt
I fucking hate Politician. I think it’s generally a really unfun character that can just ruin the game for a lot of good characters
That’s being said, Politician
I’m no better than a man 😔
Zealot is responisble for their civic duty of voting for anything and everything
but I like not having a mechanical reason to stay alive and just trying to run town and solve if I can
Recluse’s real job is to terrorize town by threatening to ruin both TC and Oracle’s info
Whenever they’re own block
get socials on people, try and build evil teams, have a good time more than anything really
This is why recluse is on SnV
SNV + Recluse be Reclusing...
Neither Town Crier nor Oracle are on Catifshing???
I've always wanted to try the S&V townsfolk against the TB outsiders, minions, and demon
poltiician is also another one that is exxtremely fun to play and really really annoying to play against
canadian catfishing update incoming
tinker
i was talking about recluse smh
Gotta be Poli yea
this is the cutest thing wtf
Shrek 
No! He’d kill us
Killua is just randomly broken for no reason
heretic is a fun outsider though, once you forget about how the game relies on you
This is my question omg

Me as
spreading misinformation be like
Puzzlemaster
is super fun to try to solve imo even if it is such a devastating outsider.
IMO it hits the spot of (a) being legitimately scary, (b) giving the player something interesting to do and (c) rarely being difficult to fit onto a script
IMO the vast majority of scripts with Drunk on would be better if you replaced it with Puzzlemaster
sometimes you just need that negative outsider modification though
Oh yeah, definitely not always
Fair correction: the vast majority of scripts which are using it as a source of direct misinfo rather than a source of outsider mod
W a t
like i only found this a week ago
and saw people writing fractions
thought this was a weird cult or something
but theyre dates! not fractions
1/24: What's your best experience with anything homebrew in this game?
Well. It is.
One time I played FoR, gladiator killed the first crassus immediately, then executed the second right after
My one and only game of Fall of Rome i was the temptress and we got a Cleopatra win because no good players nominated
Puzzlemaster is a lot less flexible because you need someone claiming puzzlemaster for townsfolk to doubt their own info. But anyone can be the drunk and not know it.
I love that both do similar things but in very different ways
PM is also wonky with roles like Lleech or Lil Monsta, which is fine if the script is one demon like them and 3 normal demons, but if at least half of the demons are ones where even a correct puzzleguess is questionable utility for town, the role just becomes strictly super damaging compared to the outsider baseline (especially if there's positive outsider mod in play because you can easily land at something like a Lleech/Baron/Puzzlemaster or Lleech/Godfather+1/Puzzlemaster game where town's info is completely annihilated)
Drunk is at once less and more findable than PM
The puzzledrunk registering as a townsfolk is surprisingly brutal
Fall of Rome, Legionary turned evil and executed in final 3
The whole game was awesome
i haven't had a good one
unfortunately
i had an interesting fall of rome game as a glykon who successfully scholar-turned an Outsider
Due to a High Priest
I also had a good nwc game, it was chaotic :)
Dw I have like 3 I’ll make up for it
Fall of Rome: I was a legionary and the info from the 2 other legionaries didn’t work
Both were Hannibals and I was Bad Omen
Good lost that game hard
played a really fun homebrew The Wizards Meet that was all about being wizards and everyone casting spells each night for total chaos. (this was before wizard was a character)
nothing
Will you be in person over the summer? I want to run my homebrew script
the pride one?
Base 3 best 3
squall we have to run pride script in the summer
pls it would be the funniest thing ever
And then there's the b3 homebrew
Yep
The fact that you know what it is only justifies it
SnV (

) > TB (

) > FyF (

) > NWC (

) > BMR ( 

) > FoR (

)
noooo not the bmr slander
Oh these are opinions?
i think (?)
I gen think that FyF is BMR better executed imo
mine isn't though
actually these are facts /s
I have very little data to work with for the homebrews but I think I'd go SnV > BMR > NWC > TB > FoR (I haven't even played FyF so I won't rank it)
BMR over TB is crazy
i've spectate a few nwc game before
FoR was cool tho
tbh I think that NWC over TB is kinda crazy
fyf is something i have 0 experience is
Evidently you hate fun
*with
Had a really fun playtest of a Hollow Knight homebrew I tried to put together like a year ago (that was pretty garbo lol)
Demon was basically Kazali before Kazali came out and the game was still fun even if evil was OP as fuck
honestly truer
I think that my first good experience with FoR was like my fourth game of it
It's too perfect, to the point where the hundredth playthrough is way less interesting than the other scripts
beeg disagree
on my 25th game being able to bait the demon into killing me the chef by bluffing empath amazingly and getting a social read on the SW in the process from tactics I learned like 5 games agao
was absolutely amazing
I mean yes there are absolutely cool plays & cool moments on TB
SnV just has way more
I run Trouble Brewing for people who have played hundreds and hundreds of games and it's practically never not interesting
I mean I also put SnV as 1
I didn't claim it wasn't interesting 🤷
TB just has an incredibly high floor imo
Fun floor??
oh
Fun floor
I see
yeah, I describe it as the most consistently fun script there is...S&V has a higher ceiling, but also a lower floor, and a lower overall average
Yeah I agree with the higher fun floor
yeah I agree
I agree with everything but the average lol
No
but yeah, I'd definitely disagree that Trouble Brewing is less interesting after 100 games, if anything I'd might say the opposite...either way, even if it was less interesting, it's still easily the best script
please run it 🥺
Aside from brand new players misunderstanding the rules in a way I couldn't cover for in the heat of the moment, I've never seen a game of TB that was a true feelsbad for either team
I need to do so much work on it and my priorities are elsewhere atm
fine
the fourth demon is so unbalanced though
My last June at university wtf that’s so weird
You have a timeline, I just do it whenever my brain lets me
it's kinda funny
Which in the past was during finals week 😭
same
I've seen a few, but, like...they're very few
understandable, my sample size is relatively small compared to y'all's
If definitely seen a couple and they were mostly due to experienced players actively playing poorly
Crouching investigator, hidden butler
I can't wait until your group crosses the streams and gets a Philo-Butler Incident
I do want to do the legendary Philo barber now
Unfortunately the person who did the hidden butler no longer plays in person but that’s the goal
I’m doing this exactly when a Barber outs
yeah, this will ruin any game unfortunately
someone has made a Philo tier list, right
lemme do that
Philo philo
Oh yeah that’ll do it
Yk
If you’re really confident it’s a Vortox game, philo philo isn’t bad at all
You get guaranteed false info without drunking the real character
Wait they also get false info
Hm
You get nothing bc ur drunklocked
it's like a pukka self choice right
Well yeah but you think you have the philo ability
I thought you would
You think you gained it so you think you can choose
If you sober up yeah you’re not gonna get woken anymore
So you can’t barista a philo philo math
But like it’s a thing
And you can abuse meta info like savant or artist
It’s definitely the worst choice on SnV
But like
It’s there
so like
I'm sure that if you drison yourself
or if you are confirmed droisoned
I love that this is "legendary"
the rules regarding droison change
I don’t think they do
See Butler, Zealot, Golem
Even if you know with 100% certainty you are droisoned you can’t break your own rules
I don't agree
ok I'm taking this to rules discussion
I think there is virtually no way to know with 100% certainty if you are droisoned as 

Butler Zealot Golem
mm
Had a funny game of Face Your Fears of being in the Hunt tripleclaim. And town solving the game but for wrong Demon type.
UPD: not solved, but correctly exe in 50/50 on final day between "works as Archivist, but not as team" and "works as team, but not as Archivist" (it was the Eye).
My fave homebrew experiences have definitely been my friends' Oops! All Amnesiacs games. I've played in 6 or so, and had fun even if they were unbalanced.
I can't actually remember the last time I played in a normal game without homebrew characters. Because for those games I'm almost always the ST.
Pulling Crassus in a 21-player game of Fall of Rome last Clocktower Con, getting cornered and passing in final 5, taking advantage of Spartacus misregistering as my bluff to the good Mercenary... and then still losing in final 3 becuase of the legionary 7 good was just sitting on
I was the Eye here lol
Never again…
I had fun running an Obscrul for Bleeding of the Warband. Good actually got really close to olving the game. I also liked he other HB scripts I've gotten to ST in text
Claim swapped with the spice trader in Bleeding of the Warband (I think that’s the one) as the silversmith and messed up a code horribly, it was great
1/25: You just were told you were an alchemist wizard, what the heckity are you wishing for and how likely is the cost gonna be ST nukes you?
I actually made what I think is a maybe interestingly balanced wish.
“I wish to become the evil Vortox.”
Price: “The old demon dies and becomes good.”
(This was on night 1)
LMAO
Becoming good feels like
a lot
Oh wait
No this is an alch wish
Yeah ok sounds fun
we have snake charmer at home
hmmm
maybe alch wizard shouldn't be on script after all
balancing alch wizard is so insanely hard and sometimes outright impossible
i was just thinking of like "wish i want to make" and some of them is just, broken 😭
either that or "should this just be an amne ability"
Good thing the one full I've put wizard on has both alch and amne
An 
wish I’ve wanted to make is
“I wish to gain the 

Savant Beachcomber and Eavesdropper abilities.”
Price: “You can’t tell them apart”
Wait that's so funny
"each day, learn at least 3 statements. Most are true and some relate to who you've whispered"
Whats beachcomber and eavesdropper
Homebrew characters
Not verbatim but
Beachcomber: each day visit the ST to privately learn something no other on script townsfolk could learn
Eavesdropper: each day visit the ST to learn something about each player you whispered today, in any order
(eavesdropper's home script (NWC) has a lot of characters that interact with whisper mechanics)
Making one.
nexus when are you gonna run dbd again
honestly, this is probably the freest ill be in a bit
so ill hop in queue
Okay, as someone who has played homebrews from the start, I kinda get confused and don't understand why a lot of people, especially in recent time are not hugely fond of it. I get the whole I don't want to memorize a new script or being tired in general, especially if the Homebrew is more chaos. Other things I don't get. Like some people just refuse to touch homebrew (which yes, is within their rights), but why? The worst case scenario is a game isn't tested well, and you spent 1-2 hours having a laugh with your friends probably. It's something that's long confused me in general. Like the gap between seeing a base script for the first time, seeing a custom script for the first time, and seeing a hb script for the first time is so large, for what to me seems like no reason. Also, I say this because I think homebrews are cool. They sometimes have characters that can even be cooler than some real characters.
It's an opinion on favorite to play, not best designed
Like BMR is my favorite of the base 3, but I know it's worse designed than TB, TB is the best designed of the base 3
Joining APoC, they're all great people and I've been able to get a lot better at homebrew & make some really awesome stuff
PREACH

I think shitry reddit homebrew has poisoned the well or something where most people hear the phrase "homebrew" and just think it's either some shitty broken mess or it's incredibly overcomplicated for most players (no shade to FYF, they knew they weren't designing characters for a general audience) & thus they don't want to look at it or give it a chance or anything
And it sucks cause like there's so much good homebrew out there now and there's more on the way
We just need more fun, accessible scripts
The script library supporting homebrew now is a great help towards that
What does "best designed" mean to you
Most balanced, bag-versatile, most consistently arriving at f3/f4 with ~2-4 possible worlds, all good characters should be bluffable by evil in every condition unless the unbluffability is key to the balance of the ability (like a Virgin proccing has to actually be a Virgin, otherwise it would be kinda weak in the context of TB if evil could also replicate that end of the interaction), a unique array of abilities (not a shit ton of overlap), and as many characters as possible should be fun to play as, with, & against
I don't think I missed anything?
ngl i thought this meant dead by daylight
day by day makes MUCH more sense 😭
could also run dead by daylight
Yea ok that's a really solid set of criteria that actually creates a useful definition
(lots of people take "best" in reference to games to be some kind of objective quality, which it's just not)
And given those criteria, yeah I agree
The worst case scenario is that the ST is running what is basically a bad atheist game in quality
If you've ever played one of those, it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS
How many times has it changed
Oh shoot
Gotta go fast
It’s on V5.2
So
I’ll say 5 evils
WHY
Ok
That’s 1.2 evils then
SUMMONER game
And a politician
Ok I threw shit together

FUCK
Uh ok
decimal changes count as a full change
12am is crazy

Confirmed character?

Poisoner
The answer was Summoner
That wasn't on the list
Chipotle rice script is literally just oops all stewards plus a recluse
I refuse to elaborate
It’s not the theme
Skill issue?
It’s a constriction
and i'll post the picture here
from chipotle?
No
Good

1/26 PM: Contestants! You are challenged with making a script!
But here’s the catch!
You have to do 1 character at a time, in secret, and you can only put 1 character.
For all 25 characters.
Duplicates stack, there can still only be 25 submissions
Another thing: All characters related to rice or shaped like rice must be added.\
CHALLENGE STARTED
Half the amount number of chipotle rice bowls
I will add ||Ogre||
in a year
Noted
I'll go for ||Summoner|| then
||It is shaped like a circle which is rice bowl shaped||
||steward||
by this, do you mean now that I've added 1 character I'm totally done? or can I add more after someone else has added one?
||I'm telling you, it's gonna be a bunch of stewards and a recluse. Anyone who submits anything else is simply wrong||
Done after 1
||I hope someone submits Chef||
That’s not even near the answer but ok
|| Ojo ||
Can we peek after we submit
that's what I'm doing
Noted
Sure

Duplicates stack, there can still only be 25 submissions
Another thing: All characters related to rice or shaped like rice must be added. and needs to have the amount of jinxes as half of the amount of chipotle rice bowls I eat in a year. Trust me this is a flat number
if it happens to also work with the other constraints then sure, but nerdguy's rules come first
||Chef||
If it’s somehow functional my legs will explode
||THANK GOD||
nope
No
||oh hey we already got every character type||
Y’all do need to do the jinx thing
hi
Yes we know
Here’s the challenge:
Oh thanks axo
Delete
wait we can only add 1 character?
Each
||plague doctor, cuz ecoli||
Pins in this channel feel heretical but ok
Currently:
1/7 rice looking characters
0/X jinxes
Will our contestants win?
Find out on next episode of
Secret
Thing
Challenge is pinned
THIS IS SO FUNNY WHAT
What we have so far
Y’all have a good setup for the jinx requirement
But only 1 out of the 6 rice characters
i thought we not meant to look
I'll unpin tomorrow
You can look if you already put a character
Increase knowledge here
||Farmer||, assuming it hasn't already been added
explain?
explain?
||the stick looks kind of like rice||
||“eye” in Spanish, but also no jinxes||
||what does eye have to do with chipotle?||
nothing
||spanish has to do with chipotle||
Man all I wanted was rice shapes
Just a character
Having a 2/6/5/12 script is fine
||Shugenja||
||ok that's kind of a stretch||
||i get what the connection between shugenja and rice is but like. idk||
||Ok that’s true. But I had to try anyway, because I don’t know the standards of the creatirs||
||Like… I probably should’ve actually thought that through a bit more. But I couldn’t dismiss the idea||
||Defense aside, yea. I’m not exactly thrilled to be trying it either||
ya know what
I might just remove the jinx requirement
I don't think that's happening
||I chuckled||
a moment of waiting till it hit 😭
First Hint Poll

1
Knowledge of all Rice characters
looks like the poll was pretty unanimous
Oh like rice grains?
yea
i'm removing the jinx requirement though, this is funnier
Maybe spoiler this
nah
It would be funnier to let people guess and see if they’re correct
booooo
the poll closed
only people who already vote know
besides, the rice references yall are coming up with are funny as hell
what can I say, I’m just ||returning to my Matron root||
I'd be really funny if this managed to be playable
Any script is playable with the right amount of alcohol
|| golem ||
|| It would eat rice trust me ||
What yall talking about
see the pinned comment
add something smh
||organ grinder||
done
||
since rice gets stuck in the stache||
||High Priestess would have been my next pick (but I don’t have a second pick)||
||Leviathan||

Another thing: All characters related to rice or shaped like rice must be added.||

||did someone actually pick fang gu?||
you
nuh uh
27/1: What's a character token you love drawing on its base script, but hate pulling on a custom?
Sailor
Mutant (in base 0 or 1, it's uninteresting to roll in base 2)
It needs the poli element/"your existence strongly implies your alignment can change" for me
Which most customs don't have with their outsider mod suite
innkeeper
Grandmother
Tea lady
Artist because it feels more like solo solving the game
And if I'm going to solo solve I want a more interesting puzzle (Gossip and Savant are my two favourite roles)
zombuul 💀
zombuul pretty much needs everything in bmr to make its existence ambiguous, without that its. very very boring and hard to be good
also all the exe protection to let you actually Attack
and at that point this isnt even a custom you’re just playing BMR
I don't wanna sink kills 🙏
Godfather as the only death mod is a crime
Depends on the script for me
I think it needs death-mod tho
Oooo that’s hard. I wouldn’t say I enjoy being Zombuul even in BMR but I did have a much better time being that in BMR than it on customs (which usually do not do enough to hide it nor have enough daytime survival to make attacking at night an actual possibility for most of the game)
Artist is also a good shout above, it’s usually way too strong on customs
I don’t hate godfather but like it can’t just be the only death mod
Artist is a really good shout yeah
easily
Oh valid
ooooh that's spicy
I'm the other way around
I love math on customs and snore when I pull it on s&v i'm sorry
on SnV it lowkey solves tho and people dont realize that
it either gets 0s or it solves n2
I find on customs math either does everything or nothing
Even on SnV it’s pretty strong but no one understands it so it’s balanced
a n1 math 1 goes insane
