Town can always exile the traveler if they believe the Mayor, it’s not exactly a problem that needs to be solved.

Some kind of auction or negotiation game by Reiner Knizia. Ra, Modern Art, and Zoo Vadis comes to mind. They might not technically be Euros but would probably be much more entertaining to watch than your average Euro.

I was so honored to have been involved with this! Go watch the lovely folks give great advice on how to Storytell well!

In case you didn’t know, I have a script competing in the BOTC World Cup 2025 - Garden of Djinn on top 16! It had its second game on The Grimoire stream, and it was a blast! Watch it here: www.twitch.tv/videos/24311... and vote for your favorite script on the official app if you like what you see.

A Clocktower token with Ekin’s name and the ability “Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you claim the most complicated good and hard to bluff character on the script, once per game the Storyteller will show you the best person to kill.

I now have a “player token”, courtesy of incredible artist Tom R! I feel so special 😊

In light of recent news about who is invited back to BOTC adaptations, I’ll be taking the month off from playing on the official TPI stream in protest while I re-evaluate my relationship with them. I’ve also cancelled my Patreon membership. Find me in other places, if you’d like.

I don't see enough people saying it, so maybe I should.

It's very disappointing to see Adam welcomed back into this space.

Storytellers: Sailor is a meta-information character. It has more in common with General, Mathematician and High Priestess than it does with Fool and Tea Lady. Happy Holidays! #BloodontheClocktower

Does the continuity from previous day means the Virgin is holding the baby?? What have the minions gotten up to??

Oh I see! So it’s how many times people say they got that token on a particular script. You might add if it’s been assigned on a grim even if no one logged their token for that grim. Cool! It’s more clear now that I looked at it on desktop, it doesn’t show the frequency table on mobile.

Out of curiosity, how do you determine the popular scripts on these posts? I looked at your page for Sailor, and Lunar Eclipse has more games than Up the Mountain or BMB, but it appears lower? I keep getting surprised that my scripts don’t appear with the characters that are in them, wondering why.

I hope everyone enjoyed last night’s #BloodontheClocktower Atheistic shenanigans on TPI. I was quite nervous about it but it seemed like my players had fun. Didn’t have a chance to catch up with VOD/chat yet.

On Friday, I registered a Recluse as Riot to a Gossip in a provably non-Riot game. Under most circumstances, it’s a “yes, but don’t” interaction. My players bursted out laughing, appreciating the little mystery I created for them, when they figured it out. “Know your players” is a great motto.

I’ll do my best to channel @aggiepaints.bsky.social energy 😊
