Burden of Bodies
One of the biggest problems when you have 15 or more players for Blood on the Clocktower is the time it takes to complete just one game with so many players. Depending on the script, the day phase can take so long due to shenanigans (gossip, juggler etc) and single night deaths mean the average day cycle can be around 6.
This script is designed to remove all those negatives as it rarely goes to day 4 and the custom fabled (Shenanigan net) stops the days from running away. There is no poisoning so it becomes a race between the good team getting all the correct information to point to the demon and the evil team killing town. This is helped since over 55% of the script roles can either die themselves or cause the death of someone else. By the end of the second night the grimoire can show anything from 1 to 8 deaths, depending on player choices.
Burden of Bodies is a well used script online for large groups of players when everyone wants to play. Notes are below on the travellers, Jinxes and Fabled.

Jinxes, Travellers, Fabled and Strategy.
Jinxes:
- Cannibal and Juggler : If the Juggler guesses on their first day and dies by execution, tonight the living Cannibal learns how many guesses the juggler got correct.
Recommended Travelers:
None of the 'killing' travellers should be used as the game becomes more balanced towards the evil team.
- Scapegoat,
- Apprentice,
- Voudon,
- Beggar,
- Deviant,
- Bone Collector,
- Barista,
- Bureaucrat,
- Thief.
Fabled:
- Djinn - Use the Djinn's special rule. All players know what it is. (Jinxes listed above)
- Bootlegger - This script has homebrew characters or rules. (Shenanigan Net Fable)
- Ferryman - On the final day, all dead players regain their vote token.
- Shenanigan Net - Players may only perform ONE form of Shenanigans per day - (Slayer, Psychopath, Gossip, Juggler).
Strategy:
The race between the good and evil team is really important. Evil should kill whenever they have the option, so they will give themselves the best chance if they find the information roles on day 1. Good players need to get information out as early as it is safe to do so. The Shenanigan Net needs to be policed. If a gossip pretends to Psychopath kill, they then are unable to gossip.
