Storyteller Tips

• This is a madness-themed script. Review the Madness Philosophy and be a madness hawk.
• Put a Spryte in play one in every four games as if it were one of the main Demon types.
• Warn the players at the beginning of the game that most Sprytes will want to hide within the town.
• The Spryte can be evil-turned.
• If you show the Pixie the Spryte & the Pixie gains the Spryte ability when the Spryte dies, the game will continue as the Pixie now "is the Demon".
• The Brownie can turn evil via Bounty Hunter because it is a setup ability.
• Remember that Her Majesty's ability should work especially well for their own team.
  • Always execute Her Majesty if they break their own madness, unless it would automatically win the game for their own team.
  • If an evil player breaks a good Her Majesty's madness, you should probably execute them.
  • If a good player breaks an evil Her Majesty's madness, you should probably execute them. Even the Spryte.
• Have the Daredevil kill a Townsfolk when the Princess stops the Demon from killing.
• If the Golem nominates the Brownie while they have their ability, the Brownie does not die, but loses their ability.
• The Brownie is safe from the Nymph ability: if the Brownie with an active ability attempts to save the Nymph, the Nymph dies.
• The Clown's ability can either simulate different madnesses, or simulate everyone having the same madness. The latter is better near the beginning of the game.
• An Alchemist Clown can cause the evil team to be Actor, Harpy, or Cerenovus mad. For the other two, they will assume the Alchemist has the Harpy or Cerenovus ability.
• Harpy/Actor/Daredevil/Gremlin kills can be timed to appear as Golem or Witch kills.
• The Swiper (an Alchemist Swiper) can copy the Spryte, and they now "are the Demon". The Spryte's team does not lose until all Demons are dead.
• The Swiper cannot poison the Brownie or gain the Brownie ability while the Brownie has their ability.
• The Morbrigan has a variety of interactions:
  • The Pixie cannot gain an ability.
  • The Actor(or Pixie) madness is blocked on the target player.
  • The Spryte(or Pixie) cannot hide from Minions or vice versa on the target player & they cannot kill themselves.
  • The Brownie(or Pixie) cannot lose their ability.
  • Her Majesty(or Pixie) cannot execute the target player.
  • Golem cannot kill themselves.
  • Mutant cannot execute themselves.
  • The Daredevil cannot kill.
  • Nymph cannot lose the game.
  • The Clown(or Alchemist) muddling is blocked on the target player.
  • The Harpy(or Alchemist) madness is blocked on the first player.
  • The Witch(or Alchemist) cannot kill themselves.
  • The Cerenovus(or Alchemist) madness is blocked on the target player.
  • The Swiper(or Alchemist) cannot gain a new ability & cannot poison themselves.
  • The Vigormortis cannot kill themsevles.
  • The Pika-Pika madness is blocked on the first player & they cannot kill themselves.
  • His Highness will not be able to confirm they are sane until night, but then can out themselves.
  • The Gnome cannot kill themselves.

  • A positive Outsider mod was still required for the Cerenovus & Clown.
  • the Brownie has had more power added several times, and can stand a small nerf.
• Replaced the Tinker with the Showboat.
• The Showboat is mechanically themed, but not setting themed.
• The Showboat allows more ambiguity for Actor, Golem, Harpy, & Witch deaths.

  • Swiper fits the madness theme, and can poison a Faerie.
• Replaced Pukka with Pika-Pika secret character.
