secret thing

[iron scarab]

forgetting that the Drunk is an outsider >.< I gave three outsiders in a row to the Balloonist once because of this

[feral snow]

I don’t take the blame for it but I get blamed for it

[feral snow]

Classic

Happens all the time

[iron scarab]

please say more

[feral snow]

Oh boy

I’ve mentioned it before I think

So I was running a legion game. Lights were off for ambience

I gave the chef a 3

But instead of holding up my index, middle, and ring fingers as I normally do

I held up my index, middle, and thumb

In the dark, the chef missed the thumb and felt confident it couldn’t be a legion game

I didn’t realize they weren’t just doing a weird bluff until day 2 and the game was over that day anyways

Good team was unbelievably stacked but it was kinda over anyways

[iron scarab]

dang

rip

[feral snow]

Yeah

The amnesiac (dead in this shot) had the ability “Each night, learn the next clockwise Legion player”

The blank token is the “?” Token so you can see how far that went lol

[dense moat]

Forgetting Chambermaid cant choose dead players 😭

[iron scarab]

oh that one is a doozy

[minor pier]

me trying to hold those 3 up to check and failing how the hell do you find it comfortable to show a three without your thumb ???

[feral snow]

I was learning ASL and that’s how you do 3

[iron scarab]

fwiw 234 feels more comfortable than 123

also that

[feral snow]

The way I do it is closer to ASL 6

And some of my new players know ASL so I’m making an effort to not be confusing

[iron scarab]

thats a good shout i think ill start doing that too

[tardy wyvern]

I mean I don't think that counts as a storyteller mistake

[feral snow]

I got blamed for it lol

[tardy wyvern]

I think the worst mistake I ever made was accidentally letter the Fortune Teller get a yes on the demon after they died

[minor pier]

Every google pic of asl numbers I can find uses the thumb for 3 ?

[feral snow]

Yes, that’s why I did it

[tardy wyvern]

In my defense it was the night of a very very convoluted wizard wish

[feral snow]

Look up ASL 6

[iron scarab]

i see a mix of both

[feral snow]

I do too, but I always did this one

Then I changed it up

[minor pier]

Obviously you're meant to use both hands to show a 6, using your mind to levitate the grim in the meantime.

[fast anchor]

The worst mistake I ever made was letting a poisoned Slayer shoot the Demon dead

but most common?

probably letting the Chambermaid choose dead players

[foggy grotto]

forgetting to put the magician in minion and demon info irl

or on the app, blindly clicking “these are your minions” and “this is the demon” for the minions, which gives away who the magician is

i did this yesterday

[sour harness]

And you'll never hear the end of it <3

[karmic rose]

I forget to give demon bluffs and/or wake the butler N1 more than I should

[barren zenith]

I love magician and I have never made any mistakes regarding it

Chambermaid too

[tardy wyvern]

Most common mistake is pretty hard because usually when I make a mistake I feel bad enough about it such that I make sure not to do it again

[lean isle]

Literally same.

I don't think I've made any mistake twice. (though I haven't STd a lot of games)

They're mostly small enough to not affect game too hard, like not telling new Fang Gu who the Marionette is.

My worst mistake was giving an in-play character as Demon bluff.

[tardy wyvern]

I did that once but I realized on day 2 and they weren't claiming it

[lean isle]

I realized it on day 1 and the Demon did claim it.

[coarse fern]

Chambermaid picking dead players…. I always forget

[lean isle]

It is the most common mistake, I see it happen quite a lot.

[lean isle]

Least confusing D3 with Innkeeper triple claim appearing that ended up with Evil winning because Mastermind.

(Demon was exed D2 because D1 exed Moonchild picked them)

[barren zenith]

Do you mean D2?

[lean isle]

Demon exed D2, D3 was MM day.

[dry sluice]

Most common in-game mistake: forgetting to show bluffs until 30 seconds into day 1

Most common meta mistake: letting everyone wander off into 3 separate postgame chats before asking who's in for the next game

[austere steppe]

My favourite is when this happens, and then the ST announces that a mistake has been made.

Rip

[next marlin]

I have an incredible knack for forgetting widow pings

Also sometimes I hyperfocus on tracking nightkill alignment and forget oracle also sees executees

[vale oxide]

I make too many mistakes, but I don't remember ever repeating one tbh

Hope I'll run out of mistakes to make eventually 🙏

[fast anchor]

giving legitimately impossible info in quantum gotta be up there 🗣️🗣️

[vale oxide]

This is because I feel really really bad after making one and always remember them when I'm in the same situation again

[vale oxide]

I wanted to at least stay consistent with the impossible info so I wouldn't count that as multiple mistakes

[supple dirge]

My most common mistake is waking someone out of order and giving them info when they should be dead. I've done that several times

I usually wake them up again and tell them to ignore that info

[ivory ridge]

forgetting bluffs

i did it an unreasonable amount of times 😭

[empty carbon]

The better way to count

Yes, Apprentice is the worst Traveller and I consider using it a mistake, fite me.

[supple dirge]

3/24 You've been hired my TPI to write a film adaptation of blood on the clocktower. What kind of movie is going to be, and what is the plot going to be?

[sour harness]

Brewing Trouble: murder mystery in Ravenswood Bluff

Idk lol

Maybe the investigator is the main character, that feels thematic. You follow them as they investigate the crime scenes and try to figure out who did it

Then at the end it's revealed via flashback that they're actually the drunk

Each of the characters have personalities and then at the point that the audience figures out who's evil it cuts to them in private in their full evil persona

[shrewd cloud]

There’s that fanfic I forgot the name of where the main character is the Mutant in an SnV game, that honestly seems like a dope concept for a film

Plenty of suspense as to whether they might get Fang Gu’d, some character drama as they don’t want to face their past, lots of fun stuff

[fast anchor]

oooo look alive sunshine! it's almost done and the wait for the final few chapters is killing me

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45555109/chapters/114628786

[sharp violet]

apparently the author wrote herself into a corner with trying to find a reason/method for good to win (seriously, how does evil ever lose this position in an actual game)

I literally suggested if evil won't kill anyone at night or execute anyone in the day, just bring in a fiddler

but how do you make that narratively compelling

[ivory ridge]

can you spoil the grim?

👀

just mark it with a spoiler or something

[austere steppe]

I kinda dislike how many demons are getting wild outsider mods

I get why they exist, because mechanically, but man playing in sentinel games is lame

[sharp violet]

I don't remember all of it, but ||final 3 is Fang Gu (jump used), Cerenovus, and Mutant cere-locked as Mutant||

[ivory ridge]

is our MC ||the fucking mutant|| 😭

[sharp violet]

yeah

[ivory ridge]

broski this can't be real

[modern plume]

The game that happened in #the-day-the-music-died would fit well for a BotC movie with the intensity of everything in the final two days. Already has a big twist built into it.

[sharp violet]

and the reason evil doesn't want to kill anyone is because ||the Cerenovus used to be pre-rework Acrobat and the Fang Gu used to be the Sweetheart (as I said, jump used), and they are trying to advocate for Outsider Rights in the worst way possible||

[ivory ridge]

what the hell is ||pre-rework acrobat|| isn't this snv

[sharp violet]

it's a lore thing

||they were cere by the time the game started||

[ivory ridge]

honestly writing yourself into a corner like this is so funny

like how did you even end up here

[tidal quiver]

ngl the real mistake is ||having your MC be the mutant and not FG jumped to||

[ivory ridge]

SO REAL

[modern plume]

I just remembered that Axolator already laid out the plots, lol.

[next marlin]

When I write my snv novelization I will apparently need to clarify ||what the cere was before being transformed|| because there's a right answer to this

[ivory ridge]

if you ever write a novelization

guh

[tidal quiver]

wait what in the lore the ||cere became transformed? I mean ig it was a normal human brain until it got the mechanical half but is that like a real thing or just this one fanfic||

[sharp violet]

read it to find out more

[next marlin]

This is vati snv lore but it's canon

[tidal quiver]

I think all Vati snv lore is canon

[next marlin]

||imo he and the pithag turned himself into a cyborg to amplify pre-existing psychic powers and the mutant was an early prototype experiment that didn't work out well, and also the cere is or was the/a savant||

[tidal quiver]

but also the correct answer is definetly ||savant, think of the character development: you make everyone mad that they are what you used to be because you want them to know the pain you once felt||

[ivory ridge]

ok important question

[tidal quiver]

ok I've got a book of character progression right here: ||MC savant gets hurt or traumatised or something so they turn evil to become cere. Then, game starts, and is evil. The MC now gets deeper into the evil team/corruption or whatever and is barberswapped into being the demon because they are trusted. Then, there's some final grand redemption opportunity that was hinted at earlier and becomes snakecharmed and then tries to fight for good||

[ivory ridge]

best player count for an snv novella

[tidal quiver]

just based on my experience reading books, I feel like 12 players would be overwhelming early

[next marlin]

11

[tidal quiver]

gonna say 8 or 9

[next marlin]

8 works too

But I think 2 minion game

[tidal quiver]

2 minion game has a lot of potential yea

[next marlin]

If you tell it from the evil team perspective you don't need to introduce all the townsfolk early

[tidal quiver]

wait here me out: BMR novella where the mc is the ||goon [filler text]||

[ivory ridge]

boo 🗣️

[next marlin]

Livevoice syndrome

[zenith lotus]

i've actually talked about my vision for this before

although it isnt a movie, its a tv show

[tidal quiver]

ok hear me out: every few chapters the perspective changes and it's almost like a slow, gradual grim reveal for the reader, but concealed/vague specifically so that the reader doesn't know the demon at the end of the game

every month or so I'm like "yeaa I should write a book" and then I start thinking rationally and stop

[next marlin]

Stop doing that and go write it

[ivory ridge]

hmmm, i think telling the story from good (or starting good)'s perspective make sense right?

[tidal quiver]

but... but... I have like no time to write a whole book

[next marlin]

Find it

[ivory ridge]

evil kinda stripped (hehe) all of the mystery

[ivory ridge]

said the person who push a button every 90 days

[next marlin]

Lore moment

[tidal quiver]

if it's from evil's POV, then it's less of a mystery and more about the tension of "will the MC be executed" ig

I feel like an average Dire game from Dire's POV would on average be a good book

[coarse fern]

Crazy statement

[tidal quiver]

I'm not trying to speak to Dire's internal monologue or whatever

[ivory ridge]

does dire have an internal monologue?

/j

[next marlin]

Simp

[pure meadow]

From the evidence I have seen, barely

[tidal quiver]

I just mean that it's either "Dire is good and has game-winning info but can't convince anybody and ends up framed as a minion" or "Dire is evil and ends up super sus as evil but is really confidently and aggressively accusing and just needs to convince like 2 more people"

[alpine silo]

i think you could add good tension by also making it abt the bluff structure, make it feel like more of a conspiracy

[next marlin]

Yeah there's a thing though

It's important to stop your soul from getting eaten

Hard to explain it to others and hard to enforce it upon yourself

[alpine silo]

ive written clocktower fiction before and thats usually how i structure it at least

[next marlin]

But you do

[ivory ridge]

true! (i'm having trouble comprehending)

[next marlin]

Trouble verbing? Blood on the Clocktower reference

[ivory ridge]

hmmm

[next marlin]

Anyway aren't you meant to be one of my cultists or something, just listen to the vibes

[tacit fiber]

Dire is good and has game-winning info

you are describing socials

[tidal quiver]

socials are the best info

BotC screwball comedy would go hard tho

i jokingly wrote this with some people for a Theater Class I had last year

[fast anchor]

25/3: Name a group (either fictional characters or real people) - if they hypothetically played a game of BotC, how would it go? Why would it go poorly/well? Would they play another game after that one?

[feral snow]

A long time ago I did an impression of Donald trump playing this game

[cold veldt]

who is the storyteller in this hypothetical scenario

[feral snow]

I wonder if I can find it

[fast anchor]

It can be you, it can also be someone else in this group

Choose whatever makes most sense

[feral snow]

“Now you see if I was the Imp then I would be the best imp, I really would-I have a friend who was an imp, really nice guy, and he told me “you know Donnie you’d be a really good Monk” and I said “thank you very much” because i am the greatest blood on the Clocktower player in the entire world, unlike sleepy Imp Joe who can’t even finish his sentence, just the other day he said “Made in America” was two words-can you believe it? Made, in America it’s like so clearly not two words but sleepy joe would never get that because he’s not patriotic enough for this country”

There it is

You can tell how old it is because I reference Joe Biden instead of Kamala Harris

[dense moat]

Rain and her friend group. Idk the exact dynamics, but I bet Rudy would have a lot of fun being evil

And if they could potentially do a 2 Minion game with someone like Aunt Fara as ST

[fast anchor]

See this is why I asked this question, holy shit thatd go hard

[dense moat]

Alternatively, replace with the Golem Hall crew and maybe Nara as ST. Kinda fits to me tbh.

Nara seems like she’d be a good ST if no one wanted to do it at the moment

[dense moat]

I will also add that, yes, I was looking for a good sized group.

Went through a few options in my mind and then it clicked :)

[shrewd cloud]

Been in a bit of a second Danganronpa phase, so let’s say a collection of them (probably the most entertaining would be the second game’s cast)

If it was a regular game, could see them playing it again. Actual death game variant though, no

[dry sluice]

Twilight tries adding Mathematician to TB for everypony's second game and gets frustrated when they don't understand her triple Spy misreg setup.

Despite their elements, Applejack and Rainbow Dash get super into the game and pull off a crazy Imp + Poisoner win.

Pinkie Pie hardclaims 8 different roles every day, and inexplicably has a 100% success rate of both baiting the demon as Ravenkeeper and perfectly protecting as Monk. Her favorite script is S&V, but the ST just has to trust that she's complying with madness (she always does).

Fluttershy hates lying and being accused by her friends. She thinks she can't play the game, but ends up having fun being the group's Storyteller.

Rarity has been on the good team every single game, has never lied even once about her info, but everyone campaigns to execute her anyway because she's "reading Spy."

[supple dirge]

Spike is the butler

[acoustic chasm]

The Owl house cast try and play, but then get wound up by the fact that the demons in the game are not accurate to the ones in the Demon realm.

Eda then realises that the game seemed familiar because there is basically the same game in there "Court of the Wild Magi".

Luz and Amity are often on the same team, but when they don't they often catch each other out but play along anyway. Amity is at an intense disadvantage when evil whenever her siblings play too. Eda is always suspected as evil but enjoys it.

Hunter takes the game super seriously but he doesn't like the game that much, even though he is very good at it. Willow and Hunter co-ST pretty often because of this.

Gus has a lot of fun changing his claims and playing chaoticly. He is probably has the most fun playing the game out of most the cast. Camila would take a small bit getting the game but when it's played would also often Storytell. She doesn't like being evil.

[fast anchor]

Pinkie Pie strikes me as the kind of person to pull Gambler and threaten her own life if someone doesn't hardclaim to her

the "listen if you don't tell me the truth I WILL DIE!!!" gambit

[ivory ridge]

thats just me

[fast anchor]

well I haven't seen you and pinkie pie from my little pony friendship is magic in the same room

[ivory ridge]

true!

what i normally do as a gambler is

"hey you! i've chosen you to the subject of my gamble! smile now if you don't tell me the truth, i will die and tunnel on you for the rest of the game"

normally works

[feral snow]

Mizu in the Boomdandy game

No one told the truth. They died

[ivory ridge]

(time isn’t real)
You are a Minion. there’s a damsel in play.

its d1
somebody has immediately opened up with publicly hard claiming damsel, saying “guess me you won’t, evil team”.

do you guess them? why or why not

[foggy grotto]

depends on who the person is but most likely no. i like damsel more as a last resort winrate than a silly d1 rerack. also i try to avoid playing outed evil like the plague

[sour harness]

No because even if that's within my range and decently likely to cause a win, minion is my favorite character type to play and I don't wanna rerack

[feral snow]

No, only because my group does this stuff all the time

[foggy grotto]

i also enjoy being evil too much

[tacit fiber]

no I like minion :3

[sour harness]

Like if I did that I could easily brush it off as a joke and avoid that suspicion

[lost thistle]

based

[tacit fiber]

yeah both times where I've played FoR as a minion I've guessed the spartacus in the first two days and like

yay I win

but :(

I wanted to be evil

[tardy wyvern]

absolutely not. nobody in my group would actually hard claim damsel as damsel

[vale oxide]

No, I believe this has happened to me and I was barely even considering it on day 1. I hate playing outed evil, and I hate denying I'm evil when everyone believes I am. Even if the Damsel was real, as others have stated already the game would end way too quickly so I wouldn't get to enjoy playing as a minion.

[honest tide]

Nah. I wouldn’t do that. Maybe if I were the vizier or something

[fast anchor]

it'd be really funny to guess them. yes

[young sonnet]

^^^^^

I would guess them if I wasn't a Minion

[ivory ridge]

depending on the type of minion

but like

sometimes you need to punish people who play damsel like that

so if it's not too hard (depending on script), i'll damsel guess

vaticide is the killing of a prophet or a poet -- which are the same thing -- from vates, which is one of the things I am, which can itself or from some of its roots be translated as "prophet", "poet/bard" (in the sense of "divinely inspired/touched poet"), or "madman"; the "prophet" part is self-explanatory from this
I shorten it a lot of ways depending on what I think I or other people will understand; currently I shorten it to Vati because this is the variant closest to the name of a dead friend

Then I shortened it because nobody could say it

[modern plume]

I've always loved the Cyndaquil line from Pokemon with it being my favorite pokemon line, Pokemon Silver was my favorite game as a child and regularly played and during my deepest depression Pokemon was a comfort and especially Pokemon Heartgold. So naturally, I liked names involving Quilava or Typhlosion.

I added 'Adorable' in front since it felt too lonely a name without some modifier and I preferred a positive modifier, and so 'Adorable Quilava' became my regular name for games.

[feral snow]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS WHERE I GOT MY NAME TOO

I WAS GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT GAME

3 pip fire spell that’s like 275-325 damage or something

[acoustic chasm]

yup

I think a bit more

actually i sounds about right

the lower end does at least

275

Upper end i feel its more in the 350 range but lemme check

The 75% chance when it does cast it is beautiful

Ah yes

[feral snow]

Nah, you're cool

I decide that, trust

[feral snow]

We need to get a botc wiz group going lol

We can play it in the game lol

And the get banned for saying “kill yourself” as the imp

[ivory ridge]

lucan gaming is gonna be crazy

i still remember that game where 4 good player tell the lycan “kill yourself” in f4

in person 😭

[fast anchor]

@vital grove lock in we're making an unofficial wizard101 group

[ivory ridge]

OMG wizard101

i have not played it a single time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCGkvsx0o8M

but i saw this a few weeks ago

worth the 4 hours

[feral snow]

Oh damn it’s like actually pretty up to date

[feral snow]

Wrong autumn

But hell yeah let’s do it

[ivory ridge]

isn't wizard101 like

for m*llen*al though

idk it seems kinda runescape-esque

[feral snow]

I mean it came out in 2009(?) and is still going pretty strong

Who a game is “for” is subjective anyways

[feral snow]

In what sense? It’s an mmorpg so it kind of has to have stuff in common

[ivory ridge]

vibes

[feral snow]

Helpful lol

[fast anchor]

No it plays w101 too

well, at least I know it did at some point

[feral snow]

Oh even better

[cold veldt]

the 12 angry men from 12 angry men. they'd probably kick the racist guy out after game 1 (or just not invite him in the first place if this takes place after the movie) but otherwise they'd have a good time i think, maybe henry fonda could do the second knife trick again. i know juror 4 would be great as evil at least i'd love to see him draw the imp token

yes it did take me 2 days to think of a good answer to that

[fast anchor]

holy shit it was worth it

you're cooking

[tacit fiber]

holy shit iconic

[fast anchor]

of course i'm iconic

i'm a woman

[ivory ridge]

VG stands for Video Games, I chose it when I was 8 and stuck with it since

[cold veldt]

video games video

cool name

[lost thistle]

we need to do it for vortox

[rose vault]

The name of a satellite, as shown by a very specific frame in a music video by Porter Robinson a while back. In retrospect, it's odd that it wasn't the name of an actual Japanese person I stole.
As for the actual name, I was forced to change it When Discord did the thing and the obvious pun was obvious.

[ivory ridge]

defense: i'm the good twin

[next marlin]

No you're my evil twin

[ivory ridge]

shut up the demon still think squall is a witch give me 2 days and you'll be the philo snakecharmer

[feral snow]

It’s Japanese for “future” iirc

I don’t imagine it’s a super popular name

Also porter robinson mentioned!

My friend is a huge fan so I feel like I’ve heard a decent bit of music just by being near him

[fast anchor]

oh yeah squall you have to answer your own question

[vale oxide]

My name is mihael and my nickname is miha. Crazy story I know

[feral snow]

Oh whoops I you’re so right

Okay I used to have a different username and I thought it was cringe so I decided to change it.

I liked storm (shoutout wizard101 for giving me a love for literally everything in my life: science, purple, periodic table, storm, magic, etc), so I decided my name should be Storm or a synonym of it (ideally starting with S). I googled synonyms and squall (had to become Squ4ll because squall is taken believe it or not) was born

[cold veldt]

why the letter 4?

[feral snow]

Easiest substitute I could make for a letter without losing the meaning

I use squ4llss on some platforms when Squ4ll is taken by that German guy

-# I think he’s German iirc

[cold veldt]

I see…

[vital grove]

Yo???

Ok but wheres the wow group

I am frothing at the mouth

[fast anchor]

we only play good games here sorry

[vital grove]

Ok like I love wizard101 but wow is simply just a better mmo

[feral snow]

Oh yeah no denying that

But like bias and nostalgia

[cold veldt]

are you not a nerd, guy?

[hollow oasis]

And Nerdguy is just me announcing “I’m a nerd”

[cold veldt]

cool pfp btw i only just realised what's going on in it

[hollow oasis]

The bird is evil

Anyway I made it in Google slides

[cold veldt]

:o

I googled slides, only those playground things showed up

can u be more specific

[hollow oasis]

…. No Google slides

The website

[cold veldt]

let's be real its just google powerpoint

no matter what they call it

[hollow oasis]

This is true

PowerPoint is better but like

I’m used to Google

[cold veldt]

google is free its goated

[hollow oasis]

Exactly

[cold veldt]

tbh my image editing go-to is photoshop

i'm sure google does slideshows better though

[hollow oasis]

I don’t

Have photoshop

I use apple photos

And Google slides

[cold veldt]

i love apple photos but they make me hungry

i just prefer real apples

My friend: "Oh, neat! Uh, ||why is the moon like that||? Oh, ||they're all gonna die I get it||."

[tidal quiver]

this is a really specific question but in photoshop is there an easy way to remove little shaded borders of stuff (I wanted to remove the small gradient/border around botc character icons)

I'm sure this is the best place to ask

[feral snow]

@primal crescent welcome to hell

You might have the answer to this actually

[ivory ridge]

random german guy's biggest opp

[feral snow]

I remember looking him up and being impressed that someone actually took the name

I’m assuming it’s a guy this is not a good thing I have no idea what gender they are

Slowly but surely I’m clawing that fame away

My blog post comes up when you google it

Oh yeah part two coming soon, just need to finish my thoughts on sentinel

Any sentinel takes welcome

I'm doing the horrible thing

Uh oh

[hollow oasis]

I'm running my 13 outsider script

[feral snow]

Oh dear god

[feral snow]

Yk I made a script like this once

I can’t remember who inspired it

Maybe sh99er?

Oh lord poisoner heretic (dies from cringe)

[hollow oasis]

The poisoner is usually drunk tbh

[feral snow]

From what lmao

[hollow oasis]

Sweetheart

PD poisoner

Someone being really goodsided with PM

[feral snow]

Oh god right outsiders are townsfolk

[hollow oasis]

Is drunk a TF here

[primal crescent]

[hollow oasis]

If I like

just never give non-sober info

[feral snow]

You have like 1 info townsfolk

[primal crescent]

i don't unfortunately

[feral snow]

Ah tough

Summon someone who does

[foggy grotto]

Drunk BH who learns evils

[primal crescent]

the only thing i could recommend is doing either an opacity select

and then deleting everything not in that

or just use a magic wand and go from there

[hollow oasis]

"I wish my ability becomes the following: once per game, during public statements or nominations, publicly choose a player and cast fireball: they and their alive neighbors die."

[fast anchor]

granted, but it turns off at final 5

[tidal quiver]

8d6 solves all your problems

[feral snow]

granted, it turns off at final 5, and I'll ask them to make a dex saving throw (your spell save DC is determined by 8 + a modifier based on how smart I think you are)

no proficiency unless you can actually do magic

on a successful save, they live

[tidal quiver]

no proficiency unless you have played wizard 101

[feral snow]

🔥

hell yeah

[tidal quiver]

would you accept if players claimed to have evasion and could take half/no damage from it?

[fast anchor]

oh the reflex save is genius

throw a large, heavy object at them and see if they can dodge it

[feral snow]

my players are not nimble enough to justify having rogue skills

[feral snow]

@shadow shale

[shadow shale]

helo

CATCH

[feral snow]

seriously a good idea though

[shadow shale]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

take a ball and throw it at players and if they get hit they die

question: if I hold the target down with force do they get disadvantage

[feral snow]

Actually some people in my group are running a botc dnd thing (not the Steven Medway thing) so they might love it

Stealing that idea

[fast anchor]

if I roast them hard enough with my silver tongue do they get -1d6

[feral snow]

I mean it outs you so sure

[feral snow]

That’s its own wish

[fast anchor]

the fireball already outs me

it's a public action no?

[ivory ridge]

silver tongue? axolotl behavior

[feral snow]

Delayed blast fireball

It’s a wish you can cast any spell of 8th level or lower

DBF is 7th level it’s fair game

[ivory ridge]

is this w101?

[fast anchor]

d&d

[feral snow]

Dungeons and dragons

[ivory ridge]

oh

i never understand the appeal of d&d

[fast anchor]

I like the edit from WoW to W101

[ivory ridge]

same thing

[feral snow]

It’s silly and goofy and fun

You like fun and whimsy

[ivory ridge]

yeah but idk how to say it

i don't like the uhhh

setting of d&d?

[feral snow]

Oh that’s valid

[fast anchor]

high fantasy?

[feral snow]

There are other settings and other systems

[fast anchor]

just play any other ttrpg tbh

if you like westerns i have a recommendation

[ivory ridge]

no it's just the particular

hmmmm

[fast anchor]

the forgotten realms as a place? most GMs don't use it ime

[next marlin]

Didn't you think until recently that dnd was an unstructured game without rules and also that it was the only ttrpg

[ivory ridge]

yes

[next marlin]

Anyway next time livetext doesn't rack I'm running Fiasco

[ivory ridge]

like i wanna say "it feels white" but i knows that not true because i like the card design of mtg

it's hard to put it in words

i like stuff like darkest dungeon, but tokien doesn't have the same interest in me

but not that i don't like elf, because i like frieren

[fast anchor]

you should talk to quilava about that

[ivory ridge]

what's fiasco

[fast anchor]

deus ex

?

[next marlin]

narrativist GM-less ttrpg that's kind of "Coen Brothers film RPG"

also meant to be 3-5p so it's optimized for livetext 'numbers'

[ivory ridge]

you know my goal for this year is to actually play a dnd campaign

someday

maybe

[fast anchor]

wait mizu

do you like raccoons

[ivory ridge]

yes

i love them

[fast anchor]

you would love crash pandas

it's a ttrpg

[ivory ridge]

the animal you mean right?

[fast anchor]

where you're raccoons

in a street race

[next marlin]

No I'm going to force you to play some horrific Changeling: the Dreaming campaign I come up with and have to drop partway through after going too method

[fast anchor]

you're like 4 raccoons all in the same car

[ivory ridge]

raccoons are so cute

[fast anchor]

it's amazing i love it all the rules fit on 1 page

[ivory ridge]

what the hell is that 😭

what class even interest me in dnd

oh bard is cool

[next marlin]

So the World of Darkness is this line of TTRPGs that are like, evil goth urban-fantasy-horror stuff based around magick and supernatural creatures being real and based but also incredibly cursed. It's good. Steven Medway's favourite game is Vampire: the Masquerade which is the most famous one of them so it's officially TPI-endorsed

[ivory ridge]

magick with a k

you're such a nerd 😭

[next marlin]

The best wod gamelines are Vampire, Mage, and Changeling and Vampire is the one that is understandable by like normal human beings so I prefer the other two but my Mage lore is incoherent and anticanonical so we're doing Changeling

(also Mage is, uh, designed to be a setting more than it's designed to be a playable game)

[fast anchor]

i have a flowchart

[ivory ridge]

of course you do

[fast anchor]

you know you don't have to humor me and go through it if you don't want to

[next marlin]

In Changeling you're one of the fae but in a human body and it's complicated and you have awesome cool powers that you get by believing you have awesome cool powers but also the oppressive normie universe is trying to eat your soul so you have to prevent it from doing so. It's all very based and a literally true statement of actual reality

[ivory ridge]

no i'm interested

[next marlin]

don't pretend you're surprised

[dense moat]

I mainly know Mage, and the fan games Genius the Transgression and Princess the Hopeful

[fast anchor]

"I want to pick a d&d class!"

great, first question: how do you solve problems?

• Physically!
• Magically!
• Skillfully!

[ivory ridge]

magically

[next marlin]

Those are both Chronicles/"new WoD" which is a bit different

[dense moat]

Yea. Tbh, I don’t have enough experience with those to know the difference well

[next marlin]

In the mid-2000s they cancelled all the original WoD games because the books weren't selling enough because they'd built up a bunch of completely insane incoherent and unplayable lore, so they made "new WoD" to be not that

[dense moat]

I’ve heard tales of the old WoD but I don’t know much else

[next marlin]

But it was never that popular so eventually they rereleased "old WoD" as "classic WoD" and renamed nwod to "Chronicles of Darkness"

[fast anchor]

magic comes in many forms, which appeals to you?

• We're on a Mission from God
• This is fantasy right? So like, Fantasy Magic?
• Uh nature? They aren't called Magic Mushrooms for nothing
• Magical Fairyland!
• THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTNING VERY VERY FRIGHTENING ME
• DEATHHHHHH

god i was 16 when i found this

and you can tell

[next marlin]

And rereleased the cwod/owod games with less incoherent lore so they're actually accessible and people can play them

(and then released fucking v5 which makes all the Cappadocian vampires friends what the hell)

[ivory ridge]

it's giving buzzfeed

hmmm

B

[fast anchor]

And where did you get this Fantasy Magic

• Sick rhymes
• Top of the class in magic school
• Maybe she's born with it. Maybe she's a...
• Sufficiently advanced steampunk is indistinguishable from magic
• Can I have a magical sugar daddy? That sounds rad

[ivory ridge]

E

[fast anchor]

ofc

[ivory ridge]

"of course"?

https://tenor.com/view/sadhamstergirl-gif-4231717927828306245

i need to clarify sorry

E, if he's hot

[fast anchor]

WARLOCK
Most mortals are short-sighted, power-hungry, and ambitious. Most demigod-level beings are hungry for mortal souls, patient, and have power to spare. Hence, arrangements are made.

As a Warlock, you didn't do a whole lot for your magical power, but you certainly paid a lot.

• Hooray! Poor life choices!

(the flowchart keeps going to subclasses btw)

[ivory ridge]

i see i see

[fast anchor]

i wasn't done

[next marlin]

god "celestial warlocks" were a mistake

5e and its consequences

[fast anchor]

So, who's bought up your soul?

• the devil, obv
• I... kinda got tricked by a fairy
• In an ironic twist nobody saw coming, AN ANGEL!
• Cthulhu F'taghen!
• Look, I dunno, just let me minmax

[fast anchor]

oh no absolutely

we had a class for that it was called cleric or paladin or if you really wanted to be a charisma fullcaster there's a sorcerer for it

[ivory ridge]

hmmm who's the hottest here

[fast anchor]

they're all pretty hot

[ivory ridge]

are we talking like elf fairy or erlking here

also is the devil lucifer or ars goetia

[tidal quiver]

I would love to nerd out about d&d ut I am busy, anyways I like making spell names script names (Vicious Mockery goes hard as both a spell and script name and nobody can tell me otherwise)

[fast anchor]

closer to erlking, they're typically a lord or lady of the fey

[ivory ridge]

hmmm, oberon huh

[fast anchor]

not like the head honcho lucifer but like some demon guy that contractually must be evil

[next marlin]

retvrn to 3.5 warlocks that are necessarily chaotic-or-evil and can be built around every core stat except wisdom and every stat array including 3/3/3/3/3/3

[fast anchor]

like think demogorgon

or baphomet

[feral snow]

I’m kind of my groups DM but if I ever do get to actually play I really want to be a fathomless warlock

[ivory ridge]

stealing my role smh

[fast anchor]

or... the phb says mephistopheles. like the guy from Cats?

[ivory ridge]

wait you have a dnd group?

why does everyone in our club have a dnd group

😔

[next marlin]

mizu learning a new opportunity to stalk squall

[ivory ridge]

and why am I in none

[feral snow]

It’s my girlfriend, my brother, his girlfriend, and a mutual friend

[ivory ridge]

nevermind

[fast anchor]

(the mutual friend is vati)

[next marlin]

Damn why do the people who play the high-mechanics social deduction game about demons all turn out to be goth nerds

[tidal quiver]

No way what word do they learn

[feral snow]

Actually fuck that’s new Squ4ll lore

[fast anchor]

direhands

[ivory ridge]

wdym

[ivory ridge]

hmmm, i think i have made a choice

but can you elaborate on the last option

[feral snow]

I’m assuming that’s hexblade

[fast anchor]

i don't like that one

[ivory ridge]

LMAO

[feral snow]

Yeah okay basically your patron is a big sword and gives you sword powers and also magic

[ivory ridge]

ew

[fast anchor]

that makes it sound cool wtf squall

[ivory ridge]

ok i'll take the fairy

[feral snow]

It’s a common minmax thing and also used in niche setups

[ivory ridge]

B

[feral snow]

I’m a good salesman

[next marlin]

moth cultist, makes sense

[fast anchor]

Warlock: The Archfey

Your patron is a lord or lady of the fey, a creature of legend who holds secrets that were forgotten before the mortal races were born. This being's motivations are often inscrutable, and sometimes whimsical, and might involve a striving for greater magical power or the settling of age-old grudges. Beings of this sort include the Prince of Frost; the Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming Court; Titania of the Summer Court; her consort Oberon, the Green Lord; Hyrsam, the Prince of Fools; and ancient hags.

that was fun!

as an archfey warlock i think you do like illusory magic and the kinda stuff that makes people go mad

when you think about it dominate person is kinda like the cerenovus

oh you can teleport starting at 6th level that's cool

[ivory ridge]

oh so cerenovus

[fast anchor]

oh and you can send people to the endless dark

[foggy grotto]

what have i stumbled into

[fast anchor]

alternatively the shadow realm

[next marlin]

We're trying to explain tabletop rpgs to mizu

[fast anchor]

or "an illusory realm" if you're the phb

[zenith lotus]

an average secret-thing conversation

[next marlin]

Anyway I'm gonna force livetext to play a vtm campaign in lieu of it never wanting to play botc

[ivory ridge]

oh to be an ancient hag

btw what is the endless dark/shadow realm

[fast anchor]

it's never specified, but you can send people there starting at 14th level

[ivory ridge]

not the gulag

[fast anchor]

unless you were asking what i was referencing with either of those

anyway so when is the secret thing d&d5e campaign (because ofc it's gonna be 5e we just did this whole thing)

actually fuck that we should play crash pandas

[ivory ridge]

how long is a dnd5e session

assuming standard version

[next marlin]

Can we play a good ttrpg and not a bad one

[fast anchor]

yeah no i realized

[next marlin]

e.g. pathfinder 1e

[fast anchor]

depends on a lot and the style of DMing, some DMs run sessions in an hour while others lean closer to 3-4 and still others make it a whole-evening thing dinner break included

[acoustic chasm]

Can the secret thing wizard101 players join the secret thing d&d5e campaign

[fast anchor]

holy shit

i don't have to play 5e, score

[ivory ridge]

is dnd5e not good?

[acoustic chasm]

The system is fine

[fast anchor]

it's the most popular ttrpg but not because it's a good system

[acoustic chasm]

The company behind it isn't

[fast anchor]

it's specifically designed for a very specific style of play and kinda flounders if you don't do exactly high-combat high-magic dungeon-crawling adventures with it

[next marlin]

It's too normie and ends up as a sad mix between dnd's fundamentally gamist design philosophy and "what if we simplified everything so the gamist part isn't fun anymore but didn't replace it with anything actually playable"

[fast anchor]

<--- had to run a legal battle in 5e

[acoustic chasm]

Oh come on. D&D 5e is fine. It tries to do a lot of things, and is ok in most of them.

[next marlin]

If you want to play a gamist ttrpg play pathfinder or 3.5, if you want to play a non-gamist ttrpg play something that isn't a dnd

[acoustic chasm]

sure

[fast anchor]

it's also not very beginner-friendly? there's a ton of overhead and combat is really mechanical in nature

like compare it to a more narrative-style ttrpg like monster of the week or something from savage worlds, which are way simpler and way looser with rules

[acoustic chasm]

ye

[fast anchor]

5e (and d&d in general) are way crunchier

[next marlin]

Anyway I'm going to introduce mizu to ttrpgs with some shit like GURPS Technomancer

[acoustic chasm]

It is crunchier

[fast anchor]

hey vati

[next marlin]

Crunch trial by fire

[fast anchor]

custom script discussion lancer campaign when

[feral snow]

My sessions run 4-5 hours but it's because it works well for our group

[next marlin]

I've never been that into mecha genre stuff if that's the game being discussed

[acoustic chasm]

But ye. I will admit D&D tries to be "a jack of all trades, master of none, and oftentimes much more mediocre than a master of one"

[feral snow]

lol it's just us

no one else

[next marlin]

Now I'm just trying to feel out what's the simulationist limit people here will accept

So I can subject them to GURPS Technomancer

[acoustic chasm]

Ok Squ4ll

Time to make a wizard101 campaign

Wizards can only cast summon Elemental bc

hmm...

wait

Life Wizards are straight up druids

[feral snow]

don't tell my players but I've been secretly preparing to just run the entirety of pirate101 as a campaign because it's also just turn-based grid combat

[acoustic chasm]

They aren't even wizards

[acoustic chasm]

pff

Ice wizards are abjurers in D&D speak

[ivory ridge]

wait crash panda is so funny wtf

[acoustic chasm]

Most wizard101 combat is weird because they are more summoners than anything else

they don't cast fireball (except if it's meteor strike a 4 pip spell in wizard101 but hilariously a 9th level spell in D&D 5e)

[feral snow]

that's meteor swarm

but yeah they mostly tend to summon stuff

[acoustic chasm]

meteor strike is the wizard101 spell

[feral snow]

just direct beams of magic are reserved pretty much exclusively to wand hits

[acoustic chasm]

this opens up some hilarity

[feral snow]

dont recite the deep magic to me witch, i was there when it was written

i also have this trained on my storm wizard lol

[acoustic chasm]

Yee

goated spell

But yes

If this is 4 pip spell (which is tiny in wizard101 terms)

And is a 9th level spell

Therefore, stormzilla is around a 15th level spell

I think imaging the wizards in wizard101 being like, god level wizards in terms of D&D 5e is hilarious to me for some reason

Adept Pyromancer - Is a 9th level caster

[feral snow]

Journeyman. You get meteor strike at level 16

[acoustic chasm]

Fair

[dense moat]

I wouldn’t know much in that regard, since I only do Pathfinder in both 1e and 2e

[acoustic chasm]

TBF

Journeyman does sound cooler than adept imo

[dense moat]

And also an partially engaged with Star Wars Edge or Empire or blades in the dark

[feral snow]

when do you get 9th level wizard spell slots?

its level 18 right?

damn

[acoustic chasm]

WIAT

[next marlin]

PF1 is so unrelentingly based and no one ever sees the vision for my horrifyingly munchkined arcane-bloodline sorcerer with Sacred Geometry

[acoustic chasm]

no

I's level 22

apparently

Fire Trap is level 16

[dense moat]

Sometimes. I loved the monster class levels thing. Mystic Theurge is so silly on spellcasting monsters

[acoustic chasm]

I am getting it off the wiki

[feral snow]

ohh yes you're right my bad

i'm cooked

Tempest spam from level 28 has made me forget how to think

[acoustic chasm]

So I was right omg

Still

It's kinda scary close

[feral snow]

i'm so mad about the stupid tempest spell quest

[dense moat]

||The boss of Kingmaker is *exactly * the sort of thing I’d build. 17th level Druid casting and 16th level Sorceer||

[acoustic chasm]

level 18 D&D, level 22 Wizard101

Imo, as cool as Stormzilla is, and it is cool

They cooked with Helephant

[feral snow]

true helephant goes hard

[acoustic chasm]

And yes, Helephant is not that good a spell

But that's exactly it

When I played

I saw Stormzillas all the time

Because it's really good

But a Helephant is rare

So when you do see it

well

[feral snow]

to be fair helephant costs 1 pip more

[acoustic chasm]

ye

[feral snow]

Triton is a better comparison

[acoustic chasm]

It costs 1 pip more and does less damage

I didn't realise that it cost 1 pip more for a while

I thought stormzilla was 6

[dense moat]

Oh you wanna know a really horrifying build? The remastered Curse of the Crimson Throne has ||The Mother of Thorns. 4 ranged attacks a round with 3d6 sneak attack on each and poison||

[acoustic chasm]

Then I looked at it and went 'oh huh'

'It's 5'

'That's kinda crazy'

[feral snow]

storm is just better

[acoustic chasm]

damn

[acoustic chasm]

Youc an do fusions spells?

And upgrade them?

Looks fun

[feral snow]

yeah thats kinda new

upgrades are a few years old

fusion was a few months ago

[acoustic chasm]

ye

I remember the spellwriting but when it was coming out it was just for like tiny spells

So it didn't really matter much

[feral snow]

as of like two days ago we just spellements for up to arc 3

level 130

[acoustic chasm]

I just noticed it because helephants spellwriting is very funny to me. It looks like its a pretty common pattern

But i know that one line I understand...
The other I don't!

:P

they sure do like their icons :p

[feral snow]

clear 5 shields (on your opponent) to make a Damage over time effect of your own school. it lasts 4 rounds and does a total of 150 base damage per shield you clear (so maximum 750). then do 440 fire damage

[feral snow]

it's kinda nice tbh

[acoustic chasm]

well...

I think i know which one is better :P

[feral snow]

the top one for pve

bottom for pvp

[acoustic chasm]

true

[feral snow]

that's kind of how most of these go

[acoustic chasm]

I see I see

To be fair

I think that is really cool just from my pov

That makes so many more cards interesting

[feral snow]

oh yeah it's awesome

it makes your beginner spells actually viable

fire elf is huge in pvp now

[acoustic chasm]

I can imagine PVP being a lot more varied

(maybe not)

[feral snow]

oh it is

[acoustic chasm]

(maybe they've opyimised it)

[feral snow]

lots of off school hits

[acoustic chasm]

But like

That's epic

[feral snow]

ikr i love it

[acoustic chasm]

hah Evil Snowman. Good vibes

[feral snow]

some spells are super overtuned though rip

evil snowman is fun

[acoustic chasm]

That is prolly also just one of my fave spells off of vibes

[feral snow]

was huge last meta but not so much anymore

[acoustic chasm]

Like the sound, the animation

I seee

[feral snow]

oh yeah it's great

[acoustic chasm]

Time to make a wizard101 BOTC homebrew clearly

still fusions?

like wow

[feral snow]

fuck I should have done that

yeah there are some awesome spell fusions

and some meta ones that are boring

ooh yeah and harmful auras

[acoustic chasm]

i am not much of a meta enjoyer

I enjoy jank

but

and ye i'd rather lose a lo than do it

[feral snow]

i've wanted to do pvp for so long

the problem is that the only active queue is max level and i'm not there yet

[fast anchor]

Can we talk about this btw

[feral snow]

Uh oh

Why

[sharp violet]

3/28: Today is my birthday! Create a birthday-themed custom character

[dusky minnow]

Birthday Tinker: You may die at any time if it's your birthday

Also Happy Birthday!

[hollow oasis]

You start by picking a number, Y

Every Yth day, you get Y inplay abilities.

[rose vault]

Why wouldn't I just say Y=1?

[hollow oasis]

Slightly more mid abilities

[vale oxide]

Birthday Boy (Outsider): Once per year, during the day, all players (except you) must publicly sing happy birthday to you.

[feral snow]

Birthdayman (Outsider): Players that don’t clap for your and only your death might die at any time.

[hollow oasis]

The lore is that they pick the length of the year to get more presents, but they get less presents with more birthdays

[sour harness]

One time I made a joke script for someone's birthday. All the characters were puns based off her name, some were reskinned official characters and some were homebrew. There was also a fabled where something bad might happen to anyone (except her) who mispronounced any of the character names or used the wrong name

Unrelatedly, the (old) lycanthrope chose the entire evil team and thought he was drunk

[austere steppe]

Muchacho (TF): Three players know they are holding candles. If you nominate all three, your team wins.

[ivory ridge]

Birthday Person (TF): All players know you are the Birthday Person

now watch as you can press everyone for information

(and also die n2)

[ivory ridge]

it’s actually not a better nwm

[ivory ridge]

[Yesterday at 3:29 PM]: What are the 3 most damaging Outsiders in your opinion and why?

[hollow oasis]

Damsel Poli Heretic

Damsel(Losscon)

Poli(Extra Evil)

Heretic(Losscon)

[shrewd cloud]

Heretic, Poli, and Damsel as well for me

Barber can also be up there if it dies late game

[ivory ridge]

actually imma do a quick question change

same concept but i think this is more interactive

[shrewd cloud]

Honestly fair since i can’t imagine there’ll be any super spicy takes with the top 3 worst Outsiders

[ivory ridge]

im finding a tier list and ask y'all to rank outsider

[pseudo fulcrum]

Unreleased spoilers ||there's a reason that they're the ones on midnight||

[shrewd cloud]

Unless someone who actually believes Golem is top 3 wants to come out

(I do think it’s more of an Outsider than people give it credit for but it’s still definitely one of the more helpful ones)

[ivory ridge]

[Yesterday at 3:29 AM] Rank all the Outsider in BOTC from most to least damaging.
Here is the tier list: https://tiermaker.com/create/blood-on-the-clocktower-characters-travellers-and-fabled-17513704
You are allow to modify the amount of tier(s) as well as their names, as long as there are at least 3 tiers
You also can present it as an alignment chart if you're extra into that

[foggy grotto]

i could be very off with some of these

couldn’t really get a good feel for saint recluse and snitch

[next marlin]

I love how the losscon outsider tier excludes two of the three losscon outsiders

Anyway damsel is secretly a townsfolk that gets one of the strongest evil pings in the game

(in the same sense that klutz is secretly a townsfolk with a good ping)

[hollow oasis]

saint and klutz never proc vati

[empty carbon]

why is mutant outed

[modern plume]

Once they die, they tend to out themselves to clear up confusion from their earlier claims. If they die due to their own ability as well, it pretty much clears them as Evil outside of Evil plays like with Cerenovus

[honest tide]

Nah saints are never in games so that loss con isn’t real. Also I don’t think I’ve ever seen klutz lose a game

Saint is secretly also an evil ping because whoever is claiming saint is evil

[foggy grotto]

you’ve never seen a klutz loss???

[honest tide]

Nope! That said I don’t play a ton of snv

Maybe I have but I don’t remember it

[hollow oasis]

Ok in Fairness it’s like

2/88 games I’ve played of SNV

I’ve seen exactly 2 klutz losses

[honest tide]

Most of the time they just pick their most trusted player and it works out. That or the one time they just yolo picked a twin and got it right lmao

[foggy grotto]

klutz as twinsolver goes hard

[tardy wyvern]

I’ve seen at least 3, and I definitely haven’t played 88 games of SNV

[iron scarab]

ive played three games as klutz and picked an evil twice

🙈

in my defence one of them was the marionette smhsmhsmh

[vale oxide]

A lot of them are script dependent of course

Lunatic on BMR isn't C tier

[feral snow]

I’m so glad this got the reactions it did

[barren zenith]

PM is very script dependent

With demon mobility, it is far more damaging than without

[next marlin]

Demon mobility per se isn't the axis I think about

It's a mix of how much other droison there is and if the demons are, for lack of a better description, misdirected

[barren zenith]

Yeah, it's also dependent on the amount of droison

[next marlin]

LM or Lleech is fine to have one of but if you have both or it's solo lleech or something then you just have Strictly Worse Drunk

whereas e.g. imp/fang gu are perfectly good (great, even) interactions

[barren zenith]

SW too

[barren zenith]

It's definitely not a bad interaction, but it does nerf PM by a good chunk

[stable latch]

Yeah but PM is an outsider

[next marlin]

It is, but it's an outsider that in and of itself is worse than Drunk, and the guess is the main balancing factor ("knowing there's a drunk" is a secondary one, but this is an intended function of the Drunk on its homescript -- if there's only one faceup outsider claim in a base 2 then everyone knows there's a Drunk in the sense the PM knows there's a puzzledrunk)

[honest tide]

Yeah but that’s not how it works in practice though right? I’ve seen so many times where the evil team gets a face up outsider bluff so you don’t know if it’s just them as the outsiders or if one is lying and there’s a drunk. If evil is claiming PM they are claiming outsider mod (assuming that all outsiders out) so it changes the solves by a lot

[next marlin]

"1 outsider" tb is reasonably common

PM is intended to fill a different script function precisely because it's a 'face-up drunk'

But 'face-up drunk' is actually pretty brutal because its nature puts a functional outsider in a townsfolk slot

You don't want to make PM trivial to solve, but it balances as too detrimental if the response to any concerns about it is to shrug and go "it's an outsider"

[foggy grotto]

yeah i think someone said this before but PM itself is a relatively weak townsfolk that adds an invisible drunk as a setup ability

[sour harness]

I think vati said that

[foggy grotto]

that’s probably true

[minor pier]

I see you sneaking in that Huntsman, and I somewhat agree, very high but too rare an upside compared to the Damsel downside. Hard disagree on sneaking in Sailor tho, that's like putting Pacifist on there. Both are very strong TF in certain situations, with a decent enough floor.

[fast anchor]

beggar outsider is insane tbh

evil beggar sure, good beggar is basically diet oracle

[hollow oasis]

ok the Cult Leader slander shall not stand

[barren zenith]

Wdym? Ogre is awesome 🤩

[fast anchor]

Cult Leaader (Townsfolk): You turn evil and then die at some point in the game.

Awesome 🤩

hi waffles

[hollow oasis]

ok have you played with anyone who goes for CL wins

[fast anchor]

yes

most people go for CL wins

[hollow oasis]

Ok

Here's how to play Cult Leader:

[fast anchor]

and then, because they go for CL wins, their neighbors die, they turn evil, then get executed or die at night

[hollow oasis]

Out evil when evil. This increases social trust when you say you are good.

[fast anchor]

and then town executes the minion neighboring the cl and good loses because that was f3
