Hello and welcome to Changeling Gaming! We invite you to join us for an intermediate game of BOTC at our home at the Board Games Arboretum!
Changeling Event Type: Special Event. Age recommendation 16 years +
What to Expect: Come solo or with friends and immerse yourself in a game of Blood on the Clocktower (BOTC). These member-exclusive events are great opportunities to meet other members of the Changeling community.
What is Blood on the Clocktower? Blood on the Clocktower is an advanced version of the game Werewolf, and crucially the dead still have an important role to play in the game. The game is run by a Storyteller who has carefully crafted an experience and facilitates the game for up to 20 players. It is part deduction and part deception. Set in the little village of Ravenswood Bluff, players in the game assume different roles, each with unique abilities to hunt down the evil or stay hidden as one.
Player Level: Intermediate, we highly recommend familiarity with Blood on the Clocktower in order to attend this event. For this event, we will be playing the Bad Moon Rising script. (wiki)
General Admission: Admission includes access to the privately booked space and a full playthrough of the game. We will play a second game or more if there is time. If tickets are sold out for this event, please join the waitlist to be notified if a space opens up!
Tickets are priced and sold per person. Pre-purchased seats will be held for attendees for the first 15 minutes of the event.
Membership & Passes: Changeling Gaming Memberships include event discounts for our paid subscribers. After just two events within a 30-day period, our members save, with the potential of over $80 per month! For this event, each Special Event Membership ticket purchased must have a single individual corresponding Patreon Special Events Membership Subscription. Or, a temporary Membership Pass may be presented with Special Event stamp slots available for each ticket purchased.
Proof of membership will be required at the door.
Attire: For a game like Blood on the Clocktower, which thrives on atmosphere and a mysterious setting, what we encourage for attire, but do not require, are garments with dark, moody colours like black, deep purple, or blood red.
If you want to go full out for your own immersive fun, to help set the tone and vibe of our story, think of an eerie, almost haunted feel; a Victorian or Gothic aesthetic.
