Ken's vote for Jon in final 3 was crazy. Evil had already won at this point, because they had 3 of the 6 remaining votes, but Ken gave good a theoretical chance to win.
Truly impressed by the editing of a such a massive video, Chris! Thank you for the efforts and I look forward to seeing you grow as an ST and as a channel!
A new BOTC channel? What a steal! My love for this game has remained strong since I found it 6 months ago and I don’t know if I can even count how many games I’ve watched at this point since then. I was so lucky to get the physical grimoire this Christmas and it’s always good seeing people run the considered “beginner” edition since I hope to use what I watch to help conduct my own games in the future! Maybe one day I can run a group this big but for now Im fine working up from teensyville haha look forward to seeing more from both familiar and new faces!
That was a really great first game! I'm glad you provided an edited version, I started watching the VOD of the livestream but didn't really have time to commit to the full 3+ hours. The newer players were really entertaining and had some solid social reads, so I'm excited to see how they go once they're more experienced with the game.
Thanks! Yes ... hopefully I'll get more efficient with paring it down... I'd love to be able to give a "30 minute game" version of every livestream although it's challenging to see what you need to keep in to tell the "story" of the game
Honestly I don't mind this length, it's perfect. If the games are shorter (1-2hr) I wouldn't mind watching the full thing either to be honest @@NoobsontheGooftower
What a great game. I'm so glad to see another channel running these. BOTC is a fantastic game to listen to, even if it's far too chaotic for me to enjoy playing it myself
I remember Ken’s early games on NRB it’s been so cool to see him go through a journey of becoming a relative powerhouse. I think Jon and Sully have been playing for longer and both have absolutely no clue…
I just stumbled on this channel in my recommendations. I have never clicked a bell so fast in my life. Thank you Chris for bringing this channel to life!
This was such a great example of a game involving new players. First of all, hats off to Acardo for immediately knowing to protect the outed good, I've seen many players not understand how a virgin works. Or just try to protect powerful roles rather than confirmed spent ones. Also their social reads were really good. I think the main thing that lacked was people ignoring information and relying solely on social reads. I think the chef 1 especially could've had that game in the bag for good, but Raquel didn't really manage to get a word in. Also the fortune teller no on bennet and sully was such vital info at final 5. Either way, it was a great showcase of how to win as evil, and how the game's logical aspect is just as important as the social!
This just popped up on my recommended after an NRB video. Great to see more from them, mainly seeing everyone try to deal with the chaos incarnate who some know as Ken.
Such a good game. Glad this was recommended to me (probably because I watch so much NRB). *Spoilers:* The way that evil team just gobbled up the good votes with paranoia and panic is unbelievable master plays. Loved Jon's snipe and quick confirmations just screaming Spy game. Hilarious that he got away with saying Sage ability. Ken is truly a force to be reckoned with. I love how he just got the poor new player to blurt out Monk. Playing the wild card of calling out the entire evil team is such a bold play (but outed evil be like that). Mary Lou was hilarious, though. #StrongButWrong
Very interesting game. I think giving the drunk empath a 2 on Ken and Sullivan could have been a good shout. With Ken poisoning Holly, he did the most damage he could in this game, and a Sullivan Spy world could be sold on an Empath 2 (especially if you change the number). TB is such a good script.
Mara speaks the truth! I've been watching both storyteller and player point of views for months. I tried my first online game and got soldier and no one would let me self-nominate. The second game, however, is when I was the drunk undertaker, and as it was my first info role, I was very excited to share my info, only to find out everyone knew after N2 that I was drunk. Third, I was the sage, and of course I made it to final three. I thought I knew who the demon was, but when I nominated them the entire game told me I just lost the game. I didn't lose. But it kinda soured me on playing, and now I'm back to just watching. As an improv performer and drag jester, I think I would play the game well, but maybe I need to play either with my friends or with a gardener to make sure I didn't get a role that doesn't eff me over.
I also love the collision of Dropout cast (And yes, Chris, I recognize you from Play It By Ear!) and NRB. I was a little worried that The Troubles (wait, probably shouldn't call it that, with them from England and all) would keep them from playing BotC ever again. It's good to know I was wrong.
I'm sorry to hear you are soured on playing. BOTC is so much fun with the right community. There's a bunch of really good ones out there that you can join through discord. I hope you find the right one.
You were unlucky. After some games you find out the groups that play for fun despite the result and who likes try harding. My advice is keep playing, find those players u feel comfy around and u are set for great times. I'm experienced but goofy and like fun and chaos, and I found ppl that just wanna join in and have fun! Give it another try❤
these are great, even placed in comparison to NRB as my 'pinnacle' of BOTC presentations. Thanks for pulling these together! i did have a few suggestions to make them even better: 1. I am not sure if it is the accent or what, but sometimes I have a hard time understanding Mara - many times she says a lot of words very very quickly and I can't decipher them all, to the point where I don't understand what she is saying! This is most important when she's a storyteller. I lose half of the gameplay explanations and rationale for decisions when this happens. 2. the audio levels are different for each person sometimes. i find myself constantly changing the volume. 3. even having watched all the NRB BOTC episodes, I still need a reminder of what each character does. is it possible for you to review each character's abilities during the set up? we can always skip it if we know it already...it's just so handy to see the abilities and how each character may interact with the others. 4. i don't need music, as others have suggested. I'm so engrossed i didn't even notice the lack of background! thanks Chris (and any other team members involved!!)! Well done to everyone!!
Can you elaborate? I've seen streams and I always wonder why they put on this generic boring background music (since they can't risk a copyright strike). I'm open to the idea, just not sure why it's necessary and I feel like a lot of people do it because everyone else is doing it. If I did add it, I am definitely not adding the bland techno music a lot of people use.
bless Mary Lou's heart. Even though Holly is proved good she keeps sussing her and she outed the monks role to the whole town when good came up to her and told her well we know your good shes like, "How do you know that?" then they had to reexplain a 5th time an be like b/c of the virgin kill night one lol....
Nice game! Mara at times gave a little too much during narrations, like saying "the game continues, the executed player was not the demon!" Or "Your neighbors have changed" to a (Drunk) Empath who at the time would only know of one new neighbor
Yeah, sorry about that. I'm not used to talking to playersduring the nightl ike that, especially for the benefit of trying to make it entertaining for stream, so might have been a bit too wordy. I tried to correct myself with Bennett by immediately saying that one of his neighbours was dead and then figured that he'd find out when he woke up anyway, but it's something I'll keep an eye on in future. As for saying "the executed palyer was not the Demon" sometimes I'll say that when I know full well they are the Demon, passing to Scarlet Woman, so I implore my players to meta me on that, haha. :p
Everyone thinking Sully is Spy confirming dead Joseph, is not what I would have thought. I would have presumed Joseph was dead Spy and Sully was other evil.
Great group of players! The editing is a bit clunky don't be afraid to show more of the conversations. To me less runtime is fine, but all of the jumping was distracting.
Half an hour in and I did start to feel a bit bad for Chris who asked Mara to help storytell, but it did feel a little like Mara talked over Chris a lot in the setup and then continued to pretty much take the spotlight as ST. I noticed she did pick up on it at the end of day 2, but then continued to do it :/
I don't understand why Jon slow rolls so much when he wins games. I know he is not trying to taunt or anything, but it could annoy other people he plays with.
Ken's vote for Jon in final 3 was crazy. Evil had already won at this point, because they had 3 of the 6 remaining votes, but Ken gave good a theoretical chance to win.
He's really out here playing with his food
I see Sullivan, Ken, Jon, and Holly, and I don't even need to see the roles or anything to know this is already going to be a trip.
Ken is so good. He plays such an agent of chaos, but he proves again and again there's a method to the madness. He kind of scares me a little. 😂😂
John always does this. He has the ending of the game on 100% lock, but he plays it out like an angsty townsfolk. 😀
Ken is the best at being obviously evil with the double bluff. Great game
Truly impressed by the editing of a such a massive video, Chris! Thank you for the efforts and I look forward to seeing you grow as an ST and as a channel!
Thanks! I promised my husband I wouldn't make him watch the full livestream but I'd give him the high points!

This seems like such a fun crowd, definitely a great way to get my BOTC fix!
Hyped to see Jon be the demon for the first time since that leviathan game….
Such a fun game! I'm excited to watch future content!
Mary Lou and Clocktower? I'm sold.
That was a really great first game! I'm glad you provided an edited version, I started watching the VOD of the livestream but didn't really have time to commit to the full 3+ hours.

Brilliant vid, always love seeing this game and the NRB folks. Ken is an absolute agent of chaos, love it. Can't wait for future videos.
Love seeing my favorite people finally having a dedicated channel for BOTC. Can't wait to see more!
Great cast, great Storytelling, great editing, came out to be an awesome game to watch!!
Great video! Can’t wait to see your next game. Blood On Clocktower is hands down the most fun game ever. Especially with such a great ensemble! Thomas
Just subscribed. I love blood on the clock tower and missed it on NRB so great to see some of the team here
what a cast! looking forward to seeing more from this channel
I remember Ken’s early games on NRB it’s been so cool to see him go through a journey of becoming a relative powerhouse. I think Jon and Sully have been playing for longer and both have absolutely no clue…
It's awesome to see this channel!! I was worried I'd run out of Botc content to watch haha
I'd love to see more of these new players. 'specially Mary Lou. They're fantastic.
It's nice to see Mr Jesse Klien! He used to be a regular part of my UA-cam experience, watching him on Afterbuzz reviewing Agents of Shield.

great storytelling, great group of players, really enjoyed the video, subscribed ❤
Oof this came out just after I watched the full livestream, oh well, I enjoyed that immensely as well
Thanks for watching! I watched the whole livestream again too (to edit it, lol).
Great vid!
"Don't come at me Soldier lovers."
There are none lol
Subscribed as soon as I saw the NRB folks anyway, but I would have subbed by the end of the video either way - that was great :D
Such a good game. Glad this was recommended to me (probably because I watch so much NRB).

This was a great game, I watched the live stream. Does need background music in my opinion. Love the cast you threw together.

Oh my! Clocktower content with cameras on! No cringe avatars. Normal humans! Edited even. Subscribed. Love it.
bless Mary Lou's heart. Even though Holly is proved good she keeps sussing her and she outed the monks role to the whole town when good came up to her and told her well we know your good shes like, "How do you know that?" then they had to reexplain a 5th time an be like b/c of the virgin kill night one lol....
Just found you guys. Good stuff. 🙂
Everyone is out here playing BOTC and meanwhilr Ken is playing 5d chess, incredible.
Does anyone know what they’re using to play clocktower? Is this a fan made thing or is it able to be used on the website?
So happy to see this channel starting! How would y'all recommend getting into playing? I've seen so many games, but have no one to play with
Omg I love Mary Lou
Nice game! Mara at times gave a little too much during narrations, like saying "the game continues, the executed player was not the demon!" Or "Your neighbors have changed" to a (Drunk) Empath who at the time would only know of one new neighbor

Sullivan, the best undefeated player still right
I swear I've seen some of these people before ;)
Everyone thinking Sully is Spy confirming dead Joseph, is not what I would have thought. I would have presumed Joseph was dead Spy and Sully was other evil.
Omg I love Mary Lou's humor and energy even as a beginner
Gootz looks like a young Mike Myers to me🤔
just found this channel
No somewhere over the rainbow on the ukulele intro am disappoint. Weigh more pies
Ken acted as an unofficial DA here
Great group of players! The editing is a bit clunky don't be afraid to show more of the conversations. To me less runtime is fine, but all of the jumping was distracting.
Whats the Twitch account?
no Twitch account, we're streaming here on UA-cam!
Half an hour in and I did start to feel a bit bad for Chris who asked Mara to help storytell, but it did feel a little like Mara talked over Chris a lot in the setup and then continued to pretty much take the spotlight as ST.
