First in-person TB Storytelling: 1 in 4 outsiders are real

Session

I ran my first game of TB in person tonight (I've storytold online and played in person before). Of the nine players, we had a Spy claiming Recluse, Imp claiming Saint, Librarian claiming to have seen a Drunk and the only real outsider was the Butler.

I'd had the librarian see a drunk between empath and spy. Gave the Imp a bluff of Saint (which they took), and the Spy decided to take the claim of recluse (because they'd been seen by investigator). Of course, I'd built the game around the sole outsider being a butler because no-one would expect me to do that.

Town was convinced of a baron world. Final 3 had the librarian, the Imp-claiming-Saint, and a soldier, and Evil got their demon off the block by getting five votes on the SOLDIER of all people!

Why only one outsider in a 9 player game? Was there a traveler?

Yes, oops haha I should have mentioned. One player was travelling. I gave them a Scapegoat and never procced them.

I love that oftentimes the major puzzle of TB is figuring out how many Outsiders there really are. Also poor Soldier: always the most sus person for just being alive.

Spy can register as an Outsider.
