#BOTC demons

[tribdinosaur]

I drew some Blood on the Clocktower characters as furry beastfolk <3 <3 I LOVE Blood on the Clocktower so much!!

BOTC is a hidden role game with cool powers, and players who are killed can still talk to everyone. If you want more info about it, you browse the wiki!

(This post is not sponsored~ I'm just a fan. <3)

I drew these live on stream on my Twitch + YouTube :D

normalize being an absolute gremlin with the Pit-Hag ability. normalize making good Demons to make town waste an execution and cause arbitrary deaths. normalize making good Minions to take abilities out of play. normalize making a good-aligned Evil Twin to extend the game long enough to make a new Demon, or just to win the game off town misunderstanding the interaction. normalize making evil Dreamers and Philosophers and Savants and Sweethearts (not snake charmers, people actually make those a decent amount) to silently drunk info or perfectly bluff something or get weird metainfo.

normalize doing literally anything other than being a slow Baron. normalize doing something which requires a modicum of creativity.

mildly embarrassing confession: so i’m obsessed with no rolls barred plays blood on the clocktower and i don’t watch nrb outside of it but i really like the cast and it’s a fun vibe. (also watched a bit of noobs on the gooftower and tpi official vods) there were some standouts cast members when i first watched them last year but this time i’m generally enjoying everyone and liking everyone’s different play styles.

then in my sleep deprived state i start to become slightly obsessed with this one regular. just slightly. like i start hoping he gets big plays and screentime and funny bits. but i also want to see him mess up spectacularly and blow shit up for his team because he always gets stuff comically wrong and idk 💥💥💥 i don’t know why i picked him out of everyone but whatever, it’s just a 2h long game, cool to pick a bias for absolutely no reason, and i enjoy everyone regardless.

then one day it hits me like a truck. it’s because this guy reminds me of martyn. not in the sense he’s like martyn but he has the same effect martyn has on me. inexplicable whimsical fascination and wanting him to explode while giggling and twirling my hair. it’s ALWAYS a witty british man who’s good at improv and also has a WIFE. i can’t fucking stand myself 😭

I keep thinking there's something there about storyteller!lewis appearing alive to us in all his cutaways where he explains the rules to us, but dead to the players/during gameplay

I dont know what that something is quite yet, but theres something

Things you can do in Blood on the Clocktower but probably shouldn't number 5:

Puzzle drunk the puzzlemaster

It just says "1 player is drunk", it doesn't give any restrictions on who it can be

[antistoic]

Two bodies, together on the sharp ground. One kneels above the other, holding its needle and thread, handcrafted golden dagger in its key-shaped sheath. It lowers the hood of its robe and bows, spreading bony fingers across tattered, bloody rags to smooth them.

The other lays still as though already lifeless, a bottle of wine cradled in between his arm and chest. He breathes, slow and steadied, crystallizing in the air and blurring his view of the stars.

“Thank you. My… friend. You have been. Kind to me.”

His breaths, languid and deep, grow slower, slower, slower, until the clouds above dissipate and he sees the stars, clear and bright in his glassy eyes.

“Drink, my friend.”

It keeps one hand on his chest, the other reaching upward, slowly, carefully, dragging its claws across fragile skin, still soft, up to his face, cold to the touch. Wings drawn close into a shroud over the two bodies, it hooks a claw between bruised-brown lips.

The tall figure, robe discarded in the dirt, feels the rising sun on its wrinkled skin. It flies off, landing and perching on the roof of the church at the center of town, keeping a watchful, venomous eye on its inhabitants.

Who dies first in the botc au?

I haven't figured that out quite yet but I'm thinking either a first night roles like Impulse the investigator or BigB the recluse, whose power has already served its purpose for Bdub's Chef info.

But story wise I like the idea of BigB dying first. Since he's just the recluse, living on the outskirts, generally disregarded by their small community, there would be people in town who aren't totally convinced there's a demon when he dies. No one is executed on the first day for this reason, but everything goes to sleep feeling anxious that they'll wake up to find more evidence of a demon. Spoiler alert, they do.

Round one, poll 5:

[natjennie]

okay im slowly starting to understand botc but by far the best moments of nrb playing it are when a bunch of groups are having really important secret conversations in separate rooms and then suddenly it cuts to the people left in the town square in the middle of doing the most random inane shit you've ever seen. laurie singing a song to his cat. jon playing piano for blair.

Lleech (Demon, Experimental)

"Tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty, tasty brai- I mean pie! Yes. Tasty pie. That’s what I meant to say."

Each night*, choose a player: they die. You start by choosing an alive player: they are poisoned - you die if (& only if) they die.

The Lleech lives if their host lives, and dies if their host dies.

it costs 0 dollars to not make comments like these on people's posts
