About this Raddle

The Damsel is an Outsider — which means she's playing for Good, but also a liability for Good. If the Evil team figures out who the Damsel is, they can immediately win the game. Meanwhile, there's also a Huntsman in the game, hunting for the Damsel. If they find her before the Evil team does, she gets 'saved', and turned into a townsfolk. In this case, she turns into a the Knight, and immmediately learns two people who are definitively not the Demon. Late in the game, this can be really powerful!

Theme: Blood on the Clocktower

My favorite game is Blood on the Clocktower, a social deduction game that is endlessly replayable due to volume and variety of character options. Each character has a special ability, and most of them involve learning information about other players, or affecting other players' info (or existence) in some way. But a few special characters actually get to embody other characters, either by taking their power or pretending to be them for Reasons.
