== Tips & Tricks ==
== Explanation ==
 
* The Drunk will never know that they are the Drunk - they will start the game with a Townsfolk token and behave as that Townsfolk normally while receiving bad information. Figuring out if you are the Drunk can only be discovered via gameplay; be looking for tells like information you receive being demonstrably false, or your ability failing (e.g. A {{Good|Soldier}} dying at night).
 
* Figuring out if a Drunk is in play is important - this will allow Townsfolk to know whether or not they should be scrutinizing their information. The most obvious tell that a Drunk may be in the town is if there are more or fewer Outsiders than you expected (if more, there might be a {{Evil|Baron}} who has let a Drunk into town).
 
* If you suspect a Drunk is in play, it is important to determine which of the Townsfolk it is as soon as possible. There can only be one Drunk in play, so knowing who it is will allow you to treat their information skeptically, but it will also mean that all other Townsfolk can probably trust what they know to be true and reliable.
 
* Differentiating the effects of a Drunk from a {{Evil|Poisoner}} can be difficult, but crucial. If only one person seems to be receiving false information, they might be the Drunk. If multiple people are receiveing sporadically good and bad information, that's probably the work of a dastardly {{Evil|Poisoner}}. Try to extrapolate from the case where either one is true, and see what inferences you can draw from that. Perhaps a Drunk being in play means that the {{Good|Butler}} is lying? Or if there's a {{Evil|Poisoner}} in a game with only one Minion, you know that nobody who's been executed could have been the {{Evil|Imp}}.
 
* Characters like the {{Good|Undertaker}} and {{Good|Ravenkeeper}} will see the Drunk character when checking that player. You do not register as a Townsfolk - you just think you are! This is also true for characters like the {{Good|Virgin}} - a Drunk cannot activate them because they are not really a Townsfolk, they're an Outsider.
 
* If you have figured out you are the Drunk, try to reverse engineer what you know. For example, if you thought you were the {{Good|Empath}} and have been getting a read of '0', you should be suspicious that you have at least one evil neighbour after all. Or, if you thought you were an {{Good|Investigator}}, you can probably assume that neither of the two players you saw were Minions!
 
* Remember that the Drunk receives ''unreliable'' information, not false information. In the majority of cases, the information you receive will be wrong, but sometimes the Storyteller may tell you something that is true. This can happen when the alternative would definitely reveal you are the Drunk (e.g. The Drunk {{Good|Ravenkeeper}} choosing themselves will be shown the {{Good|Ravenkeeper}}).
 
* Keep in mind that characters like the {{Good|Slayer}}, {{Good|Monk}} and {{Good|Mayor}} cannot impact the game with their ability when they are actually the Drunk. For example, a {{Good|Slayer}} will not kill a good player instead of the Demon; their shot will always fail.

== Bluffing as the Drunk ==
 
When bluffing as the Drunk, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
 
* You would not know that you are the Drunk at first. You would receive a Townsfolk character. The Storyteller would treat you as if you were that Townsfolk; check the relevant 'bluffing as' section to see how that character would wake (or not!)
 
* The Drunk is the only good character that you can claim to be without another good character calling you out for claiming the same character as them.


* Bluff as a character that gains information more passively, such as the {{Good|Fortune Teller}}, {{Good|Investigator}}, {{Good|Empath}}, {{Good|Washerwoman}}, {{Good|Undertaker}} or {{Good|Librarian}} and give deliberately and obviously false information. If your information is ridiculous (like claiming one of two players is the {{Good|Saint}} whilst neither is claiming to be the {{Good|Saint}}), you look obviously the Drunk.
When creating a character list using the Script Tool, some character combinations will be marked as unusual with a little character symbol under one of the characters you have selected. These two characters are Jinxed&mdash;they have abilities that clash or contradict each other in some way. The Djinn creates a special rule that allows these characters to work well together. Some jinxed characters even work <em>better</em> with the Djinn in play!


* Bluff as a character that has a power that can fail, then when your fake ability fails, act surprised, and put forward the possibility that you are the Drunk. For example, bluff as the {{Good|Monk}}, and claim the player you protected died anyway. Bluff as the {{Good|Soldier}} and kill yourself of a night time, or get the Demon to kill you. Bluff as the {{Good|Slayer}} or nominate the {{Good|Virgin}}, and act surprised when these character abilities have no visible effect.
The Djinn's special rule is described by the Script Tool online, and is printed out automatically when you create a script with a character combination that is jinxed. There are many different Djinn special rules. Each is tailored to a specific pair of jinxed characters. If there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, even if there are no jinxed characters in play, the Storyteller tells all players what the Djinn's special rule is at the start of the game.  


* Insinuate a Drunk is in play, and lead the group on a hunt to find out who it is. This will distract them from the main goal of finding the Demon, and will make them distrust their own good team.
The Djinn may have several special rules at once. If there are multiple pairs of jinxed characters on the character sheet, the players learn all the Djinn's special rules.


* Insinuate that a particular player is drunk. This is especially helpful if they have a damning case against your team, such as a {{Good|Undertaker}} claiming that your dead {{Evil|Poisoner}} is indeed the dead {{Evil|Poisoner}}.
== Djinn Special Rules ==


* Convincing the group that a Drunk is in play, or that a particular player is the Drunk, is MUCH easier to achieve if the number of people publicly claiming to be Outsiders supports your story. For example, if you are saying that the {{Good|Virgin}} is drunk, and there is supposed to be just the one Outsider in play, but the real {{Good|Saint}} has revealed who they are, then the only way for the {{Good|Virgin}} to be the Drunk is if the {{Good|Saint}} is lying. If you bluff as an Outsider, or if a fellow evil player bluffs as an Outsider, then it is much easier to convince the good team that a Drunk is in play, because the extra Outsiders make it look like a {{Evil|Baron}} is in the game, which would add two extra Outsiders.
Special rules for characters from Trouble Brewing, Sects & Violets, and Bad Moon Rising:
* {{Evil|Fang Gu}} and {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}}: If the {{Evil|Fang Gu}} chooses an outsider and dies, the {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} does not become the {{Evil|Fang Gu}}.
* {{Good|Chambermaid}} and {{Good|Mathematician}}: The {{Good|Chambermaid}} learns if the {{Good|Mathematician}} wakes tonight or not, even though the {{Good|Chambermaid}} wakes first.
* {{Good|Lunatic}} and {{Good|Mathematician}}: The {{Good|Mathematician}} learns if the {{Good|Lunatic}} attacks a different player(s) than the real Demon attacks.


* If you want a fellow evil player to back up your bluff as the Drunk, get them to claim to be the {{Good|Librarian}}. The {{Good|Ravenkeeper}} and {{Good|Undertaker}} work well too, but one of you will have to die for that to work.
Special rules involving Experimental characters:
* Many pairs of characters follow the "hate" jinx special rule of: "Only one jinxed character can be in play". Currently, these character pairs are:
** {{Evil|Godfather}} and {{Good|Heretic}}
** {{Good|Spy}} and {{Good|Damsel}}
** {{Good|Spy}} and {{Good|Heretic}}
** {{Evil|Widow}} and {{Good|Damsel}}
** {{Evil|Widow}} and {{Good|Heretic}}
** {{Evil|Legion}} and {{Good|Preacher}}
** {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} and {{Good|Magician}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Exorcist}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Flowergirl}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Minstrel}}
** {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}} and {{Evil|Mastermind}}, with the additional rule that evil players start knowing which player and character it is.
* Some pairs of characters cannot be in play in the start of the game, or have special rules relating to their creation:
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Good|Damsel}}: If a {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} creates a {{Good|Damsel}}, the Storyteller chooses which player it is.
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Good|Heretic}}: A {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} cannot create a {{Good|Heretic}}.
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Good|Politician}}: A {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} cannot create an evil {{Good|Politician}}.
** {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} and {{Evil|Riot}}: If the {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} creates {{Evil|Riot}}, all evil players become {{Evil|Riot}}. If the {{Evil|Pit-Hag}} creates {{Evil|Riot}} after day 3, the game continues for one more day.
** {{Good|Engineer}} and {{Evil|Legion}}: {{Evil|Legion}} and the {{Good|Engineer}} cannot both be in play at the start of the game. If the {{Good|Engineer}} creates {{Evil|Legion}}, most players (including all evil players) become evil {{Evil|Legion}}.
** {{Good|Engineer}} and {{Evil|Riot}}: {{Evil|Riot}} and the {{Good|Engineer}} cannot both be in play at the start of the game. If the {{Good|Engineer}} creates {{Evil|Riot}}, the evil players become {{Evil|Riot}}.
* Several experimental townsfolk characters ({{Good|Alchemist}}, {{Good|Magician}}, {{Good|Poppy Grower}}) interact poorly with Minion characters ({{Good|Spy}} and {{Evil|Widow}}) that get to see the Grimoire. The jinxes between these characters are:
** {{Good|Alchemist}}: The {{Good|Alchemist}} cannot have the {{Good|Spy}}/{{Evil|Widow}} ability.
** {{Good|Magician}}: When the {{Good|Spy}}/{{Evil|Widow}} sees the Grimoire, the Demon and the {{Good|Magician}}'s character tokens are removed.
** {{Good|Poppy Grower}}: If the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} is in play, the {{Good|Spy}}/{{Evil|Widow}} does not see the Grimoire until the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} dies.
* Other jinxes between experimental townsfolk and good characters are:
** {{Good|Lycanthrope}} and {{Good|Gambler}}: If the {{Good|Lycanthrope}} is alive and the {{Good|Gambler}} kills themselves at night, no other players can die tonight.
** {{Good|Cannibal}} and {{Good|Butler}}: If the {{Good|Cannibal}} gains the {{Good|Butler}} ability, the {{Good|Cannibal}} learns this.
* The {{Evil|Marionette}} has six special rules:
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Balloonist}}: If the {{Evil|Marionette}} thinks that they are the {{Good|Balloonist}}, +1 Outsider was added.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Huntsman}}: If the {{Evil|Marionette}} thinks that they are the {{Good|Huntsman}}, the {{Good|Damsel}} was added.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Poppy Grower}}: When the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} dies, the Demon learns the {{Evil|Marionette}} but the {{Evil|Marionette}} learns nothing.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Damsel}}: The {{Evil|Marionette}} does not learn that a {{Good|Damsel}} is in play.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Good|Snitch}}: The {{Evil|Marionette}} does not learn three not-in-play characters. The Demon learns an extra three instead.
** {{Evil|Marionette}} and {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}}: The {{Evil|Marionette}} neighbours a Minion, not the Demon. The {{Evil|Marionette}} is not woken to choose who takes the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token, and does not learn they are the {{Evil|Marionette}} if they have the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token.
* The {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} has four special rules:
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Butler}}: If the Organ Grinder is causing eyes closed voting, the Butler may raise their hand to vote but their vote is only counted if their master voted too.
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Flowergirl}}: If players' eyes were closed during the nominations, the Flowergirl learns how many times the Demon voted.
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Minstrel}}: Only 1 jinxed character can be in play. Evil players start knowing which player and character it is.
** {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} and {{Good|Preacher}}: Only 1 jinxed character can be in play. Evil players start knowing which player and character it is.
* Additional special rules for minions and Minion characters:
** {{Evil|Baron}} and {{Good|Heretic}}: The {{Evil|Baron}} might only add one outsider, not two.
** {{Evil|Cerenovus}} and {{Evil|Goblin}}: The {{Evil|Cerenovus}} may choose to make a player mad that they are the {{Evil|Goblin}}.
** {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} and {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}}: If there are two living {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}}s, the Scarlet Woman {{Evil|Al-Hadikhia}} becomes the {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} again.
** {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} and {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}}: If there are five or more players alive and the player holding the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token dies, the {{Evil|Scarlet Woman}} is given the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token tonight.
** {{Evil|Mastermind}} and {{Evil|Lleech}}: If the {{Evil|Mastermind}} is alive and the {{Evil|Lleech}}'s host dies by execution, the {{Evil|Lleech}} lives but loses their ability.
** {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} and {{Good|Poppy Grower}}: If the {{Good|Poppy Grower}} is in play, Minions don't wake together. They are woken one by one, until one of them chooses to take the {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} token.
** {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}} and {{Evil|Organ Grinder}}: Votes for the {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} count if the {{Evil|Organ Grinder}} is babysitting {{Evil|Lil' Monsta}}."
* The Demon character {{Evil|Leviathan}} does not kill at night and causes the game to end at the end of day 5. It has seven special rules:
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Farmer}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} is in play and a {{Good|Farmer}} dies by execution, a good player becomes a {{Good|Farmer}} that night.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Innkeeper}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} nominates and executes a player the {{Good|Innkeeper}} chose, that player does not die.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Mayor}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} is in play and no execution occurs on day 5, good wins.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Monk}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} nominates and executes the player the {{Good|Monk}} chose, that player does not die.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Ravenkeeper}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} is in play and the {{Good|Ravenkeeper}} dies by execution, they wake that night to use their ability.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Sage}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} is in play and the {{Good|Sage}} dies by execution, they wake that night to use their ability.
** {{Evil|Leviathan}} and {{Good|Soldier}}: If {{Evil|Leviathan}} nominates and executes the {{Good|Soldier}}, the {{Good|Soldier}} does not die.
* The Demon character {{Evil|Lleech}} has two further special rules, in addition to the jinx with the {{Evil|Mastermind}}:
** {{Evil|Lleech}} and {{Good|Slayer}}: If the {{Good|Slayer}} shoots the {{Evil|Lleech}}'s host, the host dies.
** {{Evil|Lleech}} and {{Good|Heretic}}: If the {{Evil|Lleech}} has poisoned the {{Good|Heretic}} then the {{Evil|Lleech}} dies, the {{Good|Heretic}} remains poisoned.
* The Demon character {{Evil|Riot}} has the most jinxes of all!
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Clockmaker}}/{{Good|Investigator}}/{{Good|Preacher}}/{{Good|Town Crier}}/{{Good|Damsel}}: {{Evil|Riot}} registers as a Minion to the {{Good|Clockmaker}}/{{Good|Investigator}}/{{Good|Preacher}}/{{Good|Town Crier}}/{{Good|Damsel}}
** {{Evil|Riot}} and {{Good|Cannibal}}/{{Good|Pacifist}}/{{Good|Undertaker}}/{{Evil|Devil's Advocate}}: Players that die by nomination register as executed to the {{Good|Cannibal}}/{{Good|Pacifist}}/{{Good|Undertaker}}/{{Evil|Devil's Advocate}}.
** If a {{Evil|Riot}} player nominates and kills...
*** {{Good|Farmer}}: ...a {{Good|Farmer}}, the {{Good|Farmer}} uses their ability tonight.
*** {{Good|Grandmother}}: ...the grandchild, the {{Good|Grandmother}} dies too.
*** {{Good|King}}: ...the {{Good|King}} and the {{Good|Choirboy}} is alive, the {{Good|Choirboy}} uses their ability tonight.

This section will get updated as more characters are made available.


* If you intend to bluff as the Drunk later in the game, and you believe you can succeed, initially give opposite information to what you want the good team to believe. If you are claiming to be the {{Good|Empath}} for example, and later in the game you want to execute your good neighbours, then initially tell the group that both your neighbours are good - if later on, the group comes to believe that you are the Drunk, then they will assume that at least one of your neighbours is evil and execute them both.
The Djinn special rule allows Jinxed characters to both be on the same script, and even both in play at the same time. If your script has jinxed characters, let your players know the Djinn special rule(s) at the beginning of the game, whether or not Jinxed characters are in play.

"نحن لسنا هنا.
انت لست حقيقي.
كل شيء هو وهم.

Summary

"Use the Djinn's special rule. All players know what it is."

Add the Djinn to all games with a jinx icon on the script. The Djinn resolves jinxes by creating a unique rule.

  • When creating a character list using the Script Tool, some character combinations will be marked as unusual. These two characters are jinxed—they have abilities that clash or contradict each other in some way. The Djinn creates a special rule that allows these characters to work well together. Some jinxed characters even work better with the Djinn in play!
  • The Djinn’s special rule is described by the Script Tool online, and is printed out automatically when you create a script with a character combination that is jinxed.
  • There are many different Djinn special rules. Each is tailored to a specific pair of jinxed characters.
  • If there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, even if there are no jinxed characters in play, the Storyteller tells all players what the Djinn’s special rule is at the start of the game.
  • The Djinn may have several special rules at once. If there are multiple pairs of jinxed characters on the character sheet, the players learn all the Djinn’s special rules.

How to Run

At the start of the game, if there are jinxed characters on the character sheet, declare that the Djinn is in play and inform the group of all Djinn special rules for this game. (Do this even if there are no jinxed characters in play.)

Follow the Djinn instructions as listed on the Script Tool printout.

Examples

The Pit-Hag and the Heretic are Jinxed. At the start of the game, the Storyteller reads out the Djinn's special rule: “A Pit-Hag cannot create a Heretic.” Later in the game, the Pit-Hag tries to create a Heretic. The Storyteller shakes their head, and the Pit-Hag must choose another character to create.

The Spy and the Magician are Jinxed. At the start of the game, the Storyteller reads out the Djinn's special rule: “When the Spy sees the grimoire, the Demon and the Magician's character tokens are removed. There is no Spy and no Magician in play, but the Storyteller reads this aloud anyway so that the good team doesn't know which Minion is in play.

Djinn Special Rules

Special rules for characters from Trouble Brewing, Sects & Violets, and Bad Moon Rising:

Special rules involving Experimental characters:

This section will get updated as more characters are made available.

The Djinn special rule allows Jinxed characters to both be on the same script, and even both in play at the same time. If your script has jinxed characters, let your players know the Djinn special rule(s) at the beginning of the game, whether or not Jinxed characters are in play.
