The idea for this script started with wanting to build a game around the Poppy Grower and the Yaggababble. Everything else came together to support that setup.
The theme leans into madness and drunkenness, kind of inspired by Bad Moon Rising. Like that script, this one can go either way: it could be a fast game if people pick up on clues early, or it might drag out if misinformation spreads.
To help hide the Yaggababble, I included the Lunatic.
Just to make things more confusing there's also a Djinn rule, where the Lunatic gets the same phrase as the Yaggababble.
I added the Scarlet Woman as a safety net, soif the Yaggababble gets caught early, evil still has a chance. Depending on how much the storyteller wants to help the evil team, I've included the Psychopath as another potential source of kills and also to help the demon know at least one minion(if included in setup).
There are other characters that help mask the Yaggababble’s identity too, like the Juggler, who can provide useful info but also stir up doubt.
I included two other demons that can act as a front for the Yaggababble, since they also have multiple kills. This should give the town some misdirection while they try to piece things together.
There are a few characters in here that my group hasn’t played with yet and I think they'd be excited to try out.
To balance things, I made sure to include some strong info-gathering roles and good first-night characters.
Other notes:
I added Xaan to mess with outsider counts and add misinformation.
The Village Idiot gives evil a bluff option in a Poppy Grower game.
I’m still unsure about keeping the Hatter, since there are already a couple of safety nets for evil.
Looking for Feedback:
I feel like the script might lean slightly in favor of evil, but I’ve tried to give good enough tools to balance it out. Would love feedback on whether it feels fair, if the roles work well together, or if anything stands out as too much or too little.
