We couldn't be prouder, we couldn't be happier. Rarely have we seen our game realised with such joy, fun, and beauty as

The Banshee becomes more powerful when dead, nominating and voting twice as much. With brand-new…
It's been a while since we've had a new Minion for you, so we've called up one of our favourites. We just thought it was time to send this character an invitation to join the team. New character, assemble!

Find all the experimental characters on our Wiki - left hand side menu under Experimental - all the info about their abilities, how to run them, and with tips and tricks plus a ‘how to bluff as’ section.
Here in Australia, it’s April 1, and the start of a new month means it’s time for another character release! While we usually wait until later in the month, this April, we just couldn’t resist. We’re incredibly excited to announce a revolutionary new character: THE FOOL!
Fool…
“Ding DOM Merrily on High” - pretty perfect title for a pre Christmas release of No Rolls Barred playing Blood on the Clocktower. Will the team figure out Dom is the Demon?
Enjoy!

Yep, true story.
The player was so concerned that their team would lose if they were executed, so they snuck off and hid under a table, only to jump out at the end of the game to announce they were still alive!

The hand-print symbolises the idea of a leaderless movement, a mass of people, an amorphous entity that moves forward by an idea, but one that you recognise by the imprint it leaves behind... that seemed very Legion to me. (Read the full post on our Facebook page 🖐️🖐️🖐️)
The Original Baron only added one Outsider.
It wasn't mean enough. The Baron needed to be scary for the good players to face. Just adding 1 Outsider wasn't quite mean enough.

Each edition has its own main piece of art, which were crafted by John Van Fleet, one of Steve’s favourite artists.
John was asked to create each character in such a way that it could be one of two characters from that edition.
