Storyteller Tips

If a Mimic, ??, or Cannibal gains the Evil Twin ability, show that player as the Evil Twin to the Good Twin.

If the good team is losing, keep the Mimic drunk. If the Mimic Fanzazz is killed by the real Demon, just drunk the Mimic and let them die.

A Mimic can be drunk on Night 1 to have an ability appear on later nights, especially an Evil Twin ability.

If the Cordyceps is executed while they know their Host is a Klutz, they need to claim Klutz.

If a Lleech gets created (via Snake Charm or otherwise), have them pick their new host before performing any other action. That way you know if those other actions should be poisoned.

If the Cannibal eats a good player next to the Shroom, they are poisoned.

If the Cannibal eats an evil player next to the Shroom, they probably gain their bluffed ability.

If the Cannibal eats a player who claimed Klutz, they must claim Klutz, even if they did not gain the Klutz ability.

If the Cannibal gains the Klutz ability via the Shroom, but the owner does not claim Klutz, they do not have to claim Klutz.

Change Notes

• Added "Drunk" reminder token to Mimic.
• Added flavor text to some characters.

• Revamped the Mimic.
• Updated night order instructions.
• Add Lleech / ?? jinx.

• Updated json to add a mushroom.

• Replaced the Bishop with the Thief.
  • This script has a hard enough time getting the right character nominated, the Bishop gets exiled super fast. The Thief is more setting-appropriate and can cause a well-timed vote modification.
• Replaced the Judge with the Deviant.
  • The Judge is broken with Evil Twin. Even with a Poppy Grower it's too dangerous; just need to remove it. I would rather replace this with a homebrew, but I have no ideas atm and no time before VegasCon.

• Updated Cordyceps night order instructions.

• Nganga revamped.
• Removed the optional rule for Nganga.

• Updated Nganga, Piracuru, and Lleech night order instructions.
• The Mimic can cause or prevent the end of the game.
• The Cordyceps host cannot kill Minions.

• Updated Cordyceps night order instructions.

• Added Nganga, Mimic, Piracuru, Cordyceps, and Steamfitter homebrew characters.
• Added ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, ??, Shroom, The Mask, and Prankster secret characters.
