What if 4141 is a code that Luis will drop the next character on April first 2041

# jagged frost ### Get your money ready... # It's time to *__Buy N Sell__* !! > ***Buy N Sell**...

> washer woman, librarian, & invest/village idiot + saint/klutz, but no grimseer
> no evil poisoning sources, which especially hurts with marionette
> no misreg to eat rancher bullet, good or evil
> cult leader, especially with 1 mechanically confirming character and several hard-to-fake good characters

im sorry but this looks horrid to play as for the evil team if going against any competent good team

mild grotto
#

invest is particularly strong but i don't think evil is completely crushed here

jagged frost
red badge
#

This script was made in a fuckin' fugue state lmao in like, 5 minutes

#

I don't see what saint/klutz and invest/VI have to do with Grimseers?

#

Evil has limited poisoning options, but good has limited info options

#

Rancher doesn't need misreg, dafaque??

dense grove
red badge
#

yeah no, I don't get why I put those without a Grimseer. Mario can bluff it kinda, Drunk can break it, and Harpy can break it so it's not horrible here, but it certainly was an odd call

#

If I had to guess my logic, this script was made around the time I was making Church of Thunder (Cough) and that's another script that uses a socially flexible and mobile evil team to have those characters without a Grimseer, so I assumed I could get away with a similar trick here??

#

But uhh, Harpy and Mario are not Caliban / Shankaar levels of socially flexible and mobile

flint crest
# red badge I don't see what saint/klutz and invest/VI have to do with Grimseers?

in TB, if an invest or FT claims you are a minion/demon, you can bluff saint as a convenient last resort, and its able to work because with the existence of grimseers, the possibility of that invest/FT knowing you are the saint is very real, and very troubling (and very brewing). without a grimseer, thats taken away. same applies for VI

flint crest
# red badge Rancher doesn't need misreg, dafaque??

because otherwise their victim is just confirmed as evilk and must sit on the bench for the rest of the game as no one would want to talk to a mechanically confirmed evil in the script like this. even in TB, slayers have recluses they can accidentally forcefeed dirt with

mild grotto
red badge
flint crest
#

if you are outted as evil in a script like this, no one will just talk to you for the rest of the game

#

and that doesnt sound fun

red badge
#

Do you...play games with the Vizier? Does the Vizier have fun in those games?

flint crest
#

yes, because the vizier works as a character who needs to be read by good and needs to play around executing in a pattern that doesnt out the demon

#

and in the experimental character release for the vizier, its also stated that vizier does run into that problem, but that the inclusion of a vizier in a script automatically self-removes players who wont talk to confirmed evil players

jagged frost
#

So

#

Why doesn’t that apply here?

flint crest
#

because now thats a dead minion who ate a bullet

#

or demon

#

being both dead & outted as evil is not as fun as having an ability that works around being outted as evil & outted as evil

#

plus, the vizier has the power to control the public space through their interactions in the town square

jagged frost
#

Right so what’s the solution

flint crest
#

add misreg for rancher

jagged frost
#

Because Recluse does not work here

jagged frost
#

If you use a Recluse

flint crest
#

other option: add characters that can cause erroneous deaths during the day, like yaggababble or mirage

mild grotto
#

i don't think it needs to be bluffable here?

#

you can argue that for Slayer on TB

jagged frost
flint crest
#

the issue isnt bluffability

#

its about a dead evil player being ostrachized from the game

jagged frost
#

Legitch

#

I’m saying this kindly

mild grotto
#

see slayer on TB

jagged frost
#

That’s literally a skill issue

#

If your group are actively just dunking on a friend

#

Then you aren’t friends

#

And you really shouldn’t be playing a script that allows for outed evil

flint crest
#

that is true, although its still a souring experience to stop having any input in the game whatsoever

jagged frost
#

A souring experience that is purely social

red badge
#

also if you have played a game with the Goblin you should be well aware that being outed evil does not mean you stop having influence on the game

jagged frost
#

In full honesty, I think you’re just projecting issues within your own group here

red badge
#

Everyone knowing you're evil and saying "That guy's the Demon" is so hype

gritty ermine
#

and you can be silly with it, mustache twirling

#

If your group does round robins, you can say you're the Virgin and smile :)

#

just have fun with yourself, since you dont need to lie anymore

jagged frost
#

Pause

flint crest
#

hauh

#
  1. idk what a round robin is
  2. i can understand that you can still socially interact with the confirmed dead evil player, although imo it feels awkward if said social interaction is detached from the game's rules and mechanical interactions
surreal hill
#

I don't understand where people come up with the idea that talking to evil players isn't useful

flint crest
#

then otherwise you can replicate it in just about any other game

mild grotto
#

a "round robin" is a tactic of just having everyone claim one at a time

#

i personally hate them but they exist

#

this is true of several characters/scripts whihc are fine in voice

flint crest
#

and its a lot harder to do socialization thru text and also the app when ppl dont do voice + cams

mild grotto
flint crest
#

when in real life or playing with cams, i agree its a lot more interesting talking to an evil player, trying to pry information about of their lips like a crowbar on a metal sheet

mild grotto
#

if i'm dead it just drags on the day anyways

gritty ermine
flint crest
#

kinda

#

i believe BOTC should be accessible to enter and play with, especially in a much more divided and isolated world

#

and when i judge or see scripts, i account for it as though playing in text

jagged frost
#

That’s fair enough but ultimately, it is a game designed for in person/live play

flint crest
#

true

jagged frost
#

something something Yaggababble and Blabbermouth

flint crest
#

valid actually

jagged frost
#

And riot too

backreading

#

I understand what Legitch is saying here

#

in clocktower (really excluding vizier Vizier (which has ways for it to be not outed evil which should be on script (investigatoralchemistatheist...))) there is always a choice to be outed evil, clocktower was designed so that you can almost always push back against the accusations, investigatorravenkeeper Invest/RK? recluse Recluse. fortune_teller FT? Red Herring. sage Sage? The other ping. So, I think it's kinda design agnostic to make a character which just outs people as evil with script context.

#

ig?

#

BH should have some good misinfo on script tho

surreal hill
#

I mean I just strongly dislike it as a character, partly for reasons you described

#

The only confound is misinfo, and it feels bad with misinfo

#

Even with RK you have lots of options (on TB)

#

And that's unlikely to hit

I'm yet to play with Rancher personally, but I agree it is very fun. It's loud as hell, but it does it in a way that is very good. I like how destructive and meaty it is when good kills a Minion using it. It has to predict the strength of their allies in a very fun way, and is very win more

#

quick question. if a minstrel procs and the kukalpa player is dead, do they just lose the game since their soul is no longer in another player?

steel hinge
#

think so lol

surreal hill
#

Sounds right

#

Not a good interaction at all, but it's minstrel

red badge
#

To my understanding (Luis can correct) the passing of the Demonhood is a one time event as opposed to a continuous effect

#

So if the Kukalpa is drunk/poisoned when the initial pass would occur, no pass occurs (or can for the rest of the game), but if the pass has already occured, droison doesn't undo it

#

It's kind of like (this is a false equivalence, but a good allegory) droison & Scarlet Woman

surreal hill
#

Oh hmmmm

#

That would be a better interaction, kinda like zombuul

#

Makes sense

steel hinge
#

and thats how they become the demon?

red badge
#

Well yeah, it is a false equivalence

#

But it is a good allegory

surreal hill
flint crest
#

i mean its all kinda weird how reminder tokens work in the context of ability or character swaps

#

a dead Zombuul whose pit-hagged remains registering as dead whilst being alive, although that kinda makes sense, since it never died

#

whilst a Vigor whose pit-hagged has their chosen minions lose their ability, and they dont regain it, even when the Vigor returns back into play

#

this prob should be given a minor clarification jinx, like Fang Gu + Scarlet Woman

#

(speaking of which, if Fang Gu & Scarlet Woman are jinxed, why not Imp + Scarlet Woman using the same logic if starpass doesnt immediately go to Scarlet)

red badge
flint crest
#

imp starpass always to scarlet no matter what?

#

i actually didnt know lol

mild grotto
#

Provided 5 or more players are alive

flint crest
#

no?

#

starpass doesnt have that limitation

mild grotto
#

Yes it does

flint crest
#

wait what

mild grotto
#

Because the demon is dying, the scarlet woman must become the imp to satisfy its own ability

#

If only 4 players live and there are 2 minions, either one could become the Imp

#

5p onwards only the Scarlet Woman can

flint crest
#

oh that

#

i thought u meant in general

#

i see

#

so starpass must always go to SW with 5+ players

#

i swear the almanac doesnt mention this despite how rigid it is for all other TB characters

#

wait it does nvm

#

found it

#

i completely missed it in the summary

mild grotto
#

But yeah

#

It’s not something you think about to be fair

flint crest
#

it makes mechanical sense, but that kinda sucks honestly

#

ye

#

i think if i do run the script, ill do a bootleg rule where a dead Kukalpa's soul remains even if drunk or poisoned

blazing tinsel
#

Can't there in theory have 2 imps be made

mild grotto
#

I don't see how. An alive Minion becomes the Imp, so there's no reason for the Imp to pass to another Minion

#

also just don't

blazing tinsel
#

But I'd argue it should be allowed raw

#

Imp has to make a minion into the imp

#

And isn't limited by sw

#

Sw just has to become imp the same way any other demon killing themselves at night would for them

mild grotto
#

yeah

#

my logic is that both abilities are satisfied simultaneously

blazing tinsel
#

The game doesn't work simultaneously tho? In general: thinking about spy chef interaction.

red badge
#

I agree with Moll that there is an Imp created by the SW and an Imp created by the Imp, and unless the ST makes those the same Imp they are not

mild grotto
#

some things fully do happen simultaneously

red badge
#

(but they almost always will make them the same)

undone veldt
#

Y'know how each sentence must happen completely for it to occur?

#

Like a Fang Gu can't pass if they can't die?

#

So when the imp chooses themselves & dies, that hits the passive aura effect of SW which satisfies the trigger

#

This would be more obvious if the Imp text said "1 Minion" rather than "a Minion"

#

Cause the SW aura has to happen; the demon died

#

So then the Imp's ability sentence gets satisfied

flint crest
#

what if the Storyteller's rule is law and says "yeah an imp starpass can not choose the SW without proccing it"

#

just this once, as a treat

jagged frost
#

As soon as the soul gets passed, that player is now the only demon from now on

In a Crowd of Thousands, the tenth showcase script by @quaint sequoia is here for your entertainment, showcasing the Fetch!

In a Crowd of Thousands may at first seem like your average death puzzle, but its many intricacies are only unfolded when the implications are thought of. The script places extreme emphasis on the 'puzzle' aspect of death puzzles, forcing all players to examine the domino effect caused by drunkenness, poisoning and death. Players must read past the baseline truths to understand the true machinations within the game state.

Intermediate. Recommended for players looking for a script where small actions have a heavy impact.

When Playing In a Crowd of Thousands…

Good Players must follow lines of cause & effect to determine their origin, whether that means looking inside their own lines for reason to be drunk or have a kill redirected or examining claims, like a Widow's revelation or the Fetch avoiding death. Disregarding implications of info and who is dying is a fatal mistake.

Evil Players have the ability to entirely disturb good's plans, but must be stealthy as almost all of their actions can be tracked. Even slight mishaps can be tracked and will lead to an eventual loss for evil. Some interactions seen as less viable on other scripts could be the most optimal play, such as a Widow poisoning themself to hide the ping & still give the Pestilence an additional kill.

You can't stop us. WE KNOW THE TRUTH! WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!

We Remember The Baron Incident !!

We Remember The Baron Incident is the eleventh showcase script for Homebrews by Luis, showcasing 2 collaborations with @stray otter: the Haberdasher and the Leftenent!

We Remember The Baron Incident is an expert script where the entire evil team gets to dive into chaos! The good team will be at some of their least trustworthy, and with characters like the Heretic, sometimes knowing the Demon themselves might not be enough to win! Characters can build solid confirmation chains fast, but the Summoner and Kukalpa can maks any player a Demon candidate.

Expert. Recommended for players who want to push themselves.

When Playing We Remember The Baron Incident…

Good players will need to be taken with a pinch of salt and speak in winks. Even characters like the Virgin might be hiding secrets from their allies. They will also need to analyse who dies at night, to find a Summoner hiding in their midst, or who the demon is afraid to kill due to the Haberdasher.

Evil players will need to take advantage of the chaos! Many evil players want to be found and killed, with the Leftenent growing more powerful the more people hunt down their demon!

New character: The Catch!

the catch is a new character, released by homepoop by Loois.

Catch (townsfolk)

when you die, that night the ST throws a large, heavy object at you.

The Catch is a townsfolk akin to the banshee, who activates on death. players are informed a catch has died when they hear a loud yelp, a player falling to the floor, or the next day when one player is bleeding from the forehead or otherwise injured

When playing with the Catch

The Catch is incentivised to shield themselves by whatever means possible to ensure they remain conscious and able to inform others of their new injury and continue playing the game

evil players are incentivised to scream loudly and harm themselves at night, or begin days motionless on the floor after they die in order to confirm themselves as the Catch

-# the catch is brought to you by homepoop by Loois, a serious and legitimate homebrew from Sophia

steel hinge
#

can i houserule that the catch is hit with a baseball bat

olive flume
#

yeah

#

the almanac is unreleased but it says the object just has to be large enough and thrown with enough force to cause physical injury

steel hinge
#

yeah but i wanna whack em over the head

Important rules question, RAW is the Catch woken before the object is thrown, or is it up to ST discretion?

surreal hill
#

There's nothing in the ability text that implies waking no

olive flume
#

the catch is not woken

finite fractal
#

Thank you very much

olive flume
#

if the catch wakes by other means (i.e. cerenovus madness), the ST may choose to throw the object while the catch is awake

#

but otherwise no, the catch doesn't wake

steel hinge
#

or the catch catches it

#

or dodges

#

or parries

olive flume
#

an object must hit the catch

steel hinge
#

can it still be held by the st?

olive flume
#

I would recommend that only expert storytellers throw their object while the catch is awake

when hitting the catch

#

If a large heavy object is sadly completely unavailable, is it okay to substitute an Argentinian Piledriver?

olive flume
#

wait

#

I misunderstood what the move was

#

I would argue that the Argentinian pile-driver involves throwing the target at the earth

#

which due to Newton's third law is the equivalent of throwing the earth at the target

steel hinge
#

which is large and heavy

undone veldt
#

Which, if you change your frame of reference, is basically like throwing the Earth at your target

the earth is a large, heavy object

"Think fast!"
Introducing to you, the...

Catch

#

[Townsfolk]

If you die, the Storyteller throws a large, heavy object at you.

The Catch dies with a catch.

  • If the Catch dies, the Storyteller throws a large, heavy object at them.
  • If possible, injury should be caused.
  • This happens whether the Catch dies during the day or at night.

How to Run:
If the Catch dies, throw a large, heavy object at them. Cause injury if possible. If you don't have a large, heavy object, then punch, kick, or push over the Catch.

Examples:

  • Luis, the Catch, is executed and dies. The Storyteller then throws a washing machine at him, breaking his leg.
  • Pynstripe is the Catch. The Xaoh kills them and so, Luis, the Storyteller, throws a frying pan at Pyn. Owie ouchie.

Jinxes:

  • Catch and Matsuraid: If the Matsuraid is in play & the Catch is nominated, they use their ability.

Blood on the Clocktower – Homebrews by Luis
Update v2.3.1 – "Fangs & Phantoms"

Greetings, storytellers and schemers! The latest update to Homebrews by Luis brings a slew of tweaks, new character designs, and balance adjustments to keep your Blood on the Clocktower games as devious as ever. Let’s dive in!
🔥 New Characters 🔥

The Revenant (Demon - Experimental Set) – An undead menace that grows stronger when its minions are executed. The first time a minion dies, you gain an additional ability for the rest of the game!
The Howler (Minion - Experimental Set) – A cursed creature that lets out a terrifying wail at night. If you are executed, the first player to vote for you becomes poisoned for the next two nights.
The Veilkeeper (Townsfolk - Phantom Set) – Each dawn, you learn if an evil player spoke last during the previous day’s discussion. Beware of manipulative tongues!

🛠️ Balance Changes 🛠️

The Hollow (Demon) – Now learns a random Townsfolk role at the start of the game instead of a Minion role, making its misinformation more subtle.
The Gravebound (Townsfolk) – No longer learns the role of the most recently executed player, but instead learns if they were good or evil.
The False Prophet (Outsider) – Now registers as good for the first two nights before flipping to evil, adding a new layer of deception!

📜 New Custom Game Mode: "The Cursed Hour" 📜

A new optional mode where every player begins the game with a secret, randomized curse. These can range from speech restrictions to hidden win conditions! For experienced groups who love a chaotic twist.

Yeah that is uhh how AI works, correct

It quite literally can't make anything new

Well, if you fiddled with the output token generation and weighting you could generate something "new" but it would literally be unintelligible gibberish

MASSIVE HUGE NOTE

We are diving into selling cute new products for the Homebrews By Luis company line! Here’s some things you can expect to add to your collection! Let’s dive into your new options, shall we?

  1. Stop saying PiaNO and start saying PiaYES to the official Homebrews By Luis Piano for The Catch Character! The Piano has a few interesting features like being able to be used with The Catch character and making cool sounds when used! Be sure to add it to your next game!
  2. The Anvil is a unique and interesting way to spice up your games of Blood on the Clocktower using the Homebrews by Luis line! Use the new smithing function to strike up the flames of excitement in your games!
  3. Why wouldn’t you want to try delving into the newest content for The Catch character by implementing the Bucket! This addition is slightly unusual, because instead of it being thrown to The Catch character, they kick it instead! Ye-ouch, that’s got to hurt!

New update! Gear score!

I hope you're all ready to feel the thrill of the loot chase, to get invested in yourself and your progression as a BOTC character.

  • each game, the ST will give out a number of gear drops at random to members of the winning team, equal to the number of evil players
  • there are 15 gear slots - sword, shield, dagger, bow, helmet, mask, shirt, undershirt, shoulder, gauntlets, trousers, boots, mug, bedroll, and wife.
  • gear has a "power score". all gear starts at 0, and players can rip up gear to increase the power of another item of the same type by +1
  • at launch, gear score is capped at 20 per piece. however, every two months the official gear score cap will increase by 5. this will encourage players to continue playing and keep the thrill of the loot chase constant!
  • when a player would die, their gear score is compared to the gear score of the person who would kill them.
  • if it is the same, nothing happens.
  • for each gear score the victim has over the killer, there is a 1% chance to resist death.
  • for each gear score an evil killer has over the victim, there is a 1% chance to get an additional kill.
  • for each gear score an evil player has over a townsfolk, there is a 1% chance they may misregister to them

We at HPL hope that this update will foster a sense of pride and accomplishment in our players. happy looting!
