In a quiet room of lace and tea, Where sunlight danced through an ancient tree, The grandmother sat, her heart aglow, As her grandchild offered a crimson rose. “How kind, my dear,” she softly spoke, Her voice like whispers of the oak. She cupped the rose with tender care, Unaware of the venom lingering there.Here is a side of poetry with your monthly exclusive episode of Blood On The Clocktower: https://youtu.be/BBoOIHtLadwThe script this time is Uncertain Death 👉 https://botc-scripts.azurewebsites.net/script/68/1.0.1🚨 We also have released a brand new episode of BOTC on our YouTube channel – go check it out now 🚨

Fist bumped the air so hard when I got that Patreon notification. Yay! :)

Jordan Robertshaw-Jowett

I immediately thought Dom's "godfather" accent was "old Jewish New Yorker." 😂

Jack Ruppert

OMG, I had just finished catching up on all of the NRB BotC content this morning. And I was both loving all the fun shenanigans and regretting that there wasn't any more to watch. Then this drops! Here I go...

Olivia

Title made me think this was a reference to Nana the anime and I was so ready for the weirdest homebrew script ever conceived

Brittany

I love watching these videos and seeing all the cats make an appearance.

Kyle King

@ben I have a question 🙋🏻 not about this one Havnt watched it yet but about the one on YouTube today….. if you havnt watched stop reading now spoilers ………………….. When they were down to 4 players couldn’t Sam just decided to kill a corpse and stall the game out? Then that would have left all four players all with sus on them left forcing good to pick a 1/4 shot in the dark or the game would in theory never end? Also if that was allowed, in the in the future,…… let’s say Ken was the imp (bc I could see him doing this) … couldn’t he bluff soldier then wait till later in the game to the point where it would be dumb to kill a good player…. Kill a dead body in the night then the next day come out as the soldier and that the reason no one died was he was targeted?

Paul Thomson

Absolutely love the cast for this episode! Delighted to see Becca, Briony, Kirsty and Emily along with all those wonderful regulars.

Electric Ninja

Spoiler Alert: Another reminder that Mara is way too underrated at this game

Chris Jull

Super entertaining game! So many new people and they were all great.

RyomenSaya

I love Holly she's so entertaining! But watching this I could swear she was drunk or high lol! Loved all the new people they were great. Side note, anyone in the comments know where I can get a homebrew script critiqued?

Andrew Farmer

So glad they've gone back to some simpler scripts so some of the newer players can get to grips with things. Great start to 2025

Billie Bonka

What an absolutely brilliant game! Holly's accent and role definitely had me thinking i was watching the murder and mice season from dimension 20

LeninsRage

This and the public game released on the same day really demonstrate a critical weakness in Laurie's playstyle: he tunnel visions so hard on *himself* convinced his info is getting messed with in some way that he undermines his ability to deduce the world as well as sowing mutual distrust with his neighbors. In this one late in the game he was believing it was a Pukka world with Holly as the Demon, a conclusion so far off the *real* Demon was hard-confirming Holly against him. If he had trusted his initial info and trusted his neighbors they could have formed a very powerful chain of confirmation and Town Voting Bloc (Laurie-Holly-Kirsty-Sully-Jon) that would've sent this game in an entirely different direction.

Ryan Winwood

Full disclosure, I'm not an expert, but from my understanding:

Ryan Winwood

Imp's can absolutely sink kills into corpses. As to why he didn't, either 1) didn't think of it. Neither Ben nor Ken thought of it/mentioned it either during their talk about potential kills. or 2) it doesn't advance the game state in any way. It just causes a stalemate which would make for boring content until Demon or Town get bored and are forced to kill someone by Ben. Also, yeah, sinking kills to bluff Soldier is a fairly common play, I think. it's mentioned on the BOTC Imp wiki guide.

Emm

This was one of my favorite BotC episodes ever, wow it was so tense!!! Mara is incredible, and loving the new additions to the cast and Ken as co-storyteller!

Reece Hart

That was a masterclass by Mara.

Stuart Reed

One of the best episodes! EPIC

Will Seamon

This was a phenomenal game, one of the best ever on the channel. It’s been a while since we’ve seen such masterful gameplay by an evil team, and maybe the most successful Lunatic framing ever on the channel.

Lars Henrik Øberg

I think this might be my favorite all-round game. Spoiler: With Sam on hos loosing streak constantly on the evil team, it was very satisfiyng for evil to get a real stumping of a game!

Aidan

Also, if the game does get into a stalemate like that where no one is willing to kill, the storyteller can bring in the fabled character “fiddler” which will end the game

Kyle King

Oh I have never seen that character. What does it do?

Ryan Winwood

https://wiki.bloodontheclocktower.com/Fiddler The gist of it is that in a stalemate (or if a game needs to end for other reasons like time constraints) the Storyteller can say "The Fiddler is in play". The Demon then chooses one player. The other players then vote on which is the Demon. It's not a Vote vote, so dead players can also freely vote on it. No other abilities work after Fiddler is declared (Slayer, Voudon, Artist, etc)

David Hayter

Great game, although I think there should be a bit of a gentleman’s agreement around madness. Not just cheat when the storytellers aren’t there.

Andrew Farmer

You would think with 2 ST at least one would do a bit of hovering around the mutant

Chris

Dom bringing his Call of Cthulhu chops by driving Emily to question her sanity, I see. Best game in a long time. Spoilers below: Mara Joy is just so damn good at this game, god damn. Incredible win. Also, props to Becca. She did not sound confident playing evil but that was just the perfect assassin snipe. Really curious how the game would have played out if Sam See didn't volunteer as tribute. One of the most powerful roles in a town full of outsiders and he offed himself.

Shaun Giles

This needs to be on the main channel

ElloryQueen

SPOILER WARNING!! Fantastic episode! The ending was absolutely beautiful and very well deserved. I don't think I've seen a game where the lunatic is there to the end, still thinking they are the lunatic. The way it all could have been undone, too, was very gripping.

Steve

The truly wild thing was good not executing Becca and Dom when they were being so suspicious.

Moist

I deeply apologize to Ben Burns and the Pandemonium Institute (and Rosie's great scene work) - this game works better with the Discord interface. From a viewer perspective you get more info about the character and player. From a player perspective it seems you get more time to build a lie.

Cakey

Mara-arty (Moriaty). Criminal mastermind.

John

The NRB crew has a thing they do (and I have not observed it in the groups I've played with) where some of them tend to believe they are drunk or poisoned if they're an information gathering role, and so they don't attempt to build anything off their information. We saw this with Sam a few games ago, and we saw it with Laurie in this game. (And while I can't think of specific examples, we see at least one person, sometimes multiple people in almost every game.) I get the paranoia about poisoning, but I feel like a more experienced group (although these guys are pretty experienced by now) is going to realize the odds of being poisoned or receiving false information are significantly lower than the odds of not being poisoned or receiving false information, especially in a script without a Vortox. At least my group treats all information as true until we get information that conflicts, at which point we work to determine what information is untrue. YMMV, but being paralyzed and doing nothing because you think your information is false is usually a worse decision than making assumptions based on the information you have and finding out later that it was false. Since if it turns out your information was true in the former case, you did nothing with it, and in the latter case you might have become a vital part of putting the game together. That said, it would have been hard to lose worse than they did today, so they might still have lost, even if they'd trusted their information, but I really feel like this is one of the biggest weaknesses of the NRB crew. And the game with Sam not believing his empath abilities DID cost them a game that probably should have been a quick win for the good team. (Evil had a much worse set up than you usually get.) Ah well. I still enjoy watching the games, even if this particular attitude frustrates me to see.

Cole A

The script links seem to have stopped working on most videos that I have checked

Nika-Rae

This was such a great game!

neonblackdirtinthegarden

100% agreed. Among the many missteps the good team made this game, Laurie's assumption that he MUST be poisoned for some reason was perhaps the most damaging. I have no idea why he assumed that. There are 9 good players in the game, it's statistically quite reasonable that he'd be sat next to two good players. But he immediately said "I have to be poisoned, there's no way a 0 can be right" and just ran with that assumption the entire game.

neonblackdirtinthegarden

Agreed. I think it's a little bit of "main character syndrome". Everybody seems to secretly want to be the one who's drunk, or poisoned, or in some way messed with, because I guess just being a regular Empath with a regular 0 is just not interesting enough. "You've told me a zero, let me think of all the ways that isn't true and assume one of those is reality." It happens very often, and it's a bit frustrating to watch it play out over and over.

neonblackdirtinthegarden

SPOILER BLOCKER Hate to say it but this was a really sad showing by the good team. They got a huge amount of correct information but never came close to building a correct world, they never once questioned Mara despite no evidence confirming her as good, and they just executed themselves night after night leaving all three evil players alive on the final day. Of all the BotC episodes I've seen, I think this was the most one-sided. GG to the evil team but I wish the good team would have put up a fight.

neonblackdirtinthegarden

Yeah, I have no idea why he would offer himself for execution as the Exorcist. Given that he lost three games in a row as the Demon, and then lost either 2 or 3 games in a row as good (I'm talking only about the Patreon exclusive NRB games), he's either terribly unlucky or maybe just not a particularly strong player. Volunteering himself for execution as the Exorcist has me leaning toward the latter to be honest.

disastersappho

ngl the mutant breaking madness repeatedly made me pissed, but otherwise enjoyed!!!
