Running Night Actions and Daytime Town Votes as Storyteller
As the storyteller, your job is to guide players through secret night actions and moderate public nominations and execution trials during the day.
Managing the Night Phase
During the night, open your Storyteller Grimoire to view all player tokens and their assigned secret roles. Place game reminder markers directly onto tokens to track ongoing statuses or abilities from one phase to the next. You do not need to memorize who wakes up when; open the night order management screen to follow an automatic night order. The interface gives you step-by-step visitor prompts and role reminders, telling you the exact sequence in which to visit players and resolve their night actions.
Moderating Daytime Trials
When day breaks and players gather in the town square, switch to your daytime phase controls:
- Timers and Limits: Set discussion timers, adjust nomination limits, and pace the voting rounds to keep the meeting moving.
- Nominations: Open the nomination phase screen to track candidates put forward for town execution.
- Clocktower Votes: Start a trial vote to bring up the town voting interface, which sweeps visual clock hands around the circle and tracks active vote counts in real time.
- Travelers: If your match includes Traveler roles, use the storyteller tools to process exiles separately from standard executions.
