Grandmother
“Take a jacket if you go outside, dearie. And your thermos. And your scarf. I have a weak heart, you know. Whatever would I do if you caught a cold…or worse?”
Identity: Grandmother
Alignment: Good
Category: Townsfolk
Ability: You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too.
Explanation: As a Grandmother, you wake up during the first night and learn that one of your fellow players is your grandchild (the storyteller chooses who). You learn that they are of good alignment and which ability they possess. Your grandchild isn’t aware that you learned this information.
Tips for playing as the Grandmother: Confirming a player as good is a rarity during this game. This is incredibly valuable information! Telling them that you know their role is probably a good idea, as this will prove your ability to them. Sharing your ability with the rest of the group can be more tricky. Once the demon gets a hold of your grandchild, you die in the process. What would be the right time to share this information with the group?
Tips for bluffing as the Grandmother: The easiest way to bluff as the Grandmother is to claim that you are the Grandmother, and claim that an evil player is your grandchild. You probably won’t want to do this on the first day, since most Grandmothers take a day or two to reveal their information.
