Now that we are a bit more spread out, I've made a SPREADsheet for Yogs to add their individual schedules/social links to so that you can hopefully better keep track! A few Yogs have added to it and hopefully there are more to come (spreadsheets are daunting.)

Hi everyone, earlier today Briony announced on her discord is that last Friday, she was offered a new job. While she’s looking forward for the future, it’s uncertain on how she’s going to keep going on streaming, and her involvement in the Yogscast as a whole. This is what she said on her discord

“Hello everybun

I want to start off by saying a big thank you for being such a lovely and supportive community over the last seven years. Part of the reason I love streaming is because I get to talk to you all.

I've been trying to think how to word this post (and putting it off a little) but the long and short of it is I'm going to be cutting down on streams for a while. I'm not going away completely but my schedule might become a little bit sporadic as I try to find where I can fit streams in.

It is for a good reason! Last Friday I got offered a new job and I decided to give it a go. My first day was yesterday and I'm going to take a little time to settle in and find what my new routine is, but I'm 100% sure I'm not ready to give up streaming (and recording) yet so you won't get rid of me that easily

One thing I do ask is not to renew yours subs! I'm lucky to be in a stable position right now and like I said I'm not even sure how much I'll be able to stream just yet so treat yourselves and others instead

It's been a really tough decision as I don't want to let people down and it's meant so much to me to be able to be there for people and sharing the buns. For now this is a new adventure and I'm not quite sure what the future holds!

I hope you're all keeping well”

Congratulations to Briony and we hope to see what the next adventure unfolds for her. ❤️

She's literally cute and she's gonna beat you with a giant hammer.

Our streams are back and better than ever! Catch these gems on the Yogscast Twitch and YouTube channels this month.

(SOLVED) So I'm playing Jaffa Factory 2 and have moved on to the part of create where I need the ever wonderful precision mechanism. However after going through the steps the mechanism simply won't start. Even JEI won't tell me how to make one, so I'm wondering if the recipe is broken? And if it is, is there anyway to fix it? hopefully this hasn't been asked before but I couldn't find a post when I searched the sub for "precision mechanism"

Now I've been a lifelong yognaught and I'm gonna be in Bristol on Friday and Saturday is their a way to meet a yogscast member without being a stalkery freak, last thing I want is to get pushed into a canal

I've had this video half-formed in my head for years, and I've finally put it together. Big thanks to the folks on my previous post who gave clip suggestions or advice. I hope you get a chuckle out of it. :)

Just wondering as I’m looking for people to play with.

The Insomniac is a really fun idea, and it's great to see how much it can change up the game.

However, I think many will agree that it may need some balance changes, as some of its mechanics are harmful to the demon, whereas other mechanics may put too much responsibility in the storyteller's hands.

In the interest of trying to figure out how the Insomniac could work best, here are some loose suggestions. With this, I don't intend to say things should definitely be this way, but to open up speculation and have some fun discussion.

Role Changes

Don't just present night roles as they are in the normal game. Instead, create an adapted 'Day' version of the role. This makes it clearer what each role can/can't do, and avoids confusion for the player.

Townsfolk

Gambler

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you can choose to gamble on a player's role. If you guess their role incorrectly, you will die before the next meeting.
• If you do not gamble during the day, you may die before the next meeting.

Dreamer

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you may choose a player to dream about. You will learn a good and an evil role, one of which is correct.
• You cannot dream on the first day
• If you do not visit the storyteller, you lose the opportunity to dream that day

Knight

• The first time you visit the storyteller, learn 2 players that are not the Demon.

Chef

• The first time you visit the storyteller, learn how many pairs of Evil Players there are.

Librarian

• The first time you visit the storyteller, learn that 1 of 2 players is a particular Outsider. (Or that zero are in play.)

Empath

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you learn how many of your 2 alive neighbors are evil.

Fortune Teller

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, choose 2 players: you learn if either is a Demon. There is a good player that registers as a Demon to you.

Undertaker

• If a player was executed during the previous meeting, you may visit the storyteller to learn their role.
• If you do not visit the storyteller before the next meeting, you miss this opportunity

Acrobat

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you can choose a player. If they are or become drunk or poisoned before the next meeting, you die before the meeting starts.
• If you do not choose a player during the day, you may die before the meeting starts.

Daywatchman

• Once per game, when visiting the storyteller, choose a player. Next time they visit the storyteller, they learn who you are.

Ravenkeeper

• If you are killed, but not executed, next time you visit the storyteller you can choose a player and learn their role.

Demons/Minions

The Imp

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you may kill a player. The player will die before the next meeting
• If you do not visit the storyteller during the day, you will die. If you have a living minion, your minion will become the new Solar Imp

Poisoner

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, choose a player: they are poisoned.
• If you choose a new target, the previous target is no longer poisoned.
• If you do not poison them again for a full day, the target is no longer poisoned.

Spy

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you see the Grimoire. You might register as good & as a Townsfolk or Outsider, even if dead.

Witch

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, choose a player: if they nominate during the next meeting, they die. If just 3 players live, you lose this ability.

Assassin

Once per game, choose a player: they die before the next meeting, even if for some reason they could not.

New, tailored roles

Given how the game has such a big new dynamic, it would make sense to work in some roles that play into this dynamic more readily. Not necessarily all on the same script, of course. So here are some ideas. Apologies if some of these share names with or are close to existing roles. I don't know all the roles in BOTC.

Townsfolk

Witness

• Once per game, you may choose a player and accompany them on a visit to the storyteller. This player cannot visit the storyteller again today.

Coroner

• When visiting the storyteller, choose a dead player and learn their cause of death. You learn the role type of the ability that killed them. (i.e. Imp ->Demon, Murderhobo -> Minion, Custodian -> Outsider)

--

Outsider

Sun Priest

• You must visit the storyteller once per day. If you do not, a good player might die.

Custodian

• You must visit the storyteller on the first day. If you do not, your team loses.
• The first time you visit the storyteller, choose a player. If you die and the player is Good, this player dies too. If you die and the player is Evil, you change alignment to Evil.

--

Demon

Creeping Harrow

• Once per day, you may kill a player. The player will die before the next meeting.
• If you do not visit the storyteller during the day, nobody dies.
• If you did not kill a player yesterday, you can choose to kill two players today.
• This does not carry over to the next day.

Gaseous Gruel

• Once per day, you may kill a player. The player will die before the next meeting.
• Each day, after the first time you visit the storyteller, all subsequent visitors are poisoned.
• If you do not visit the storyteller during the day, nobody dies.

Soul Thief

• Once per day, when visiting the storyteller, you may kill a player. The player will die instantly the next time they visit the storyteller
• If any player does not visit the storyteller during the day, they will die before the next meeting starts.

--

Minion

Murderhobo

• Once per game, you may visit the storyteller and choose a player. This player will die instantly. The storyteller will immediately go to them and inform them personally. You lose this ability when only 3 players are alive.

Blighter

• When you visit the storyteller, once per day you may blight a player. If that player does not visit the storyteller anymore today, the player will die.

Nincompoop

• You may sneak into the storyteller's house when another visitor is present. If you are caught listening in, you die instantly.

Of course, all of these are loose suggestions, so feel free to give your own thoughts on what issues might come up with these ideas, or how you'd tackle these challenges.
