Watch him trying to figure things out during Vics nomination of Rehka and that whole info dump. You can watch him real time losing his mind, and trying to figure out how to best play things next.
Watching Vehicular play truly was a treat! And the choice to come dressed as the antagonist was top tier. Like so overtly intentionally evil the whole way through without even being suspected. Chef's kiss. Also, I think the most beautiful thing was the shot of Vic and Brennan on the blue couch next to eachother. Just the inverse energy that was happening there. Beautiful. Truly the queerest and straightest way two people could sit, whatever that means.
"Does anyone want to come... forth as in my previous experience as a top...4 it might be good to come out." Interresting pauses there Brennan. Or maybe i just hear what i wanna hear.
I’ve played and run a LOT of Clocktower and it’s very funny to me to see Chris try to logic out bad plays by inexperienced players. I once ran a game where the demon was a new player, they killed two outed top 4s, a Traveler (a role that’s useless to kill), an already dead player (so nothing happened at night) and then themselves AFTER the minions were dead… but didn’t lose because the Monk was protecting them that night. They won the game through utter confusion from the experienced players 😂😂😂
It's exactly the same as poker. A professional poker player would much rather play against good players than bad players, because they can't read the bad players.
Excellent game. Would love to see this group or a similar one play again. I also love that Aabria totally clocked Brennan, just 'cause she knows him TOO WELL.
Not really a spoiler but warning anyway: This game was superb. I like that it was presented to the audience clearly to help new viewers, and the gameplay itself was incredibly illustrative of loads of things which make clocktower so great, while illustrating common learning experiences people go through early on. The evil team was excellent, with Xander’s self-killing well timed, Kate composedly seeing out the rest of the game as the imp, and most of all Brennan’s genuinely incredible social performance when nominated. He managed to thoroughly convince the whole town he was good, align himself with the suspicious empath in the case that his slayer bluff gets uncovered, and even left Aabria verbally saying she was ashamed to even have nominated him. It was also great to see people who are primarily actors/performers quickly picking up on the mechanical aspects of the game, despite being quite new; it’s the interplay of this information WITH the social aspect which is both the biggest reason I love the game, and one of the things that makes it infinitely replayable. (My thoughts also go out to the wonderful Chris Grace who clearly understood the mechanics more than everyone, but still had to witness 3 dead votes get used on a saint mid-game without anyone finding that even a little suspicious and trying to tie the vote)
Yeah, Chris is a great BotC storyteller himself. He has a TH-cam channel for it - Noobs on the Gooftower - which also sometimes also features Jams / Becca. I think he took the right approach in giving people help to understand the rules and possibilities without pushing them to play a certain way, even if it did hurt his team's chances at winning.
@@maxryder9321 I totally didn’t realize how close the game was! One vote away from not losing, two from winning. Despite all of the chaos of the final day it ended up being narrowed down to the two most important people. Incredible playing all around!
Thank you so much for the kind words! We truly poured so much love into this video and I’m so glad that is translating. We want this first episode to be accessible to first time players but my dream is to make many more and use this wonderful cast (and more talented performers from our LA community… and beyond) to bring more people in to the glorious darkness that is BOTC, and all its intricacies!
I don't know how Alex always seems like the only sane man amongst a group of maniacs in everything I've seen him in. Especially since he's professionally a monster guy
I paused at 1:38 to say this: In-person, high-production-value Clocktower? With Dropout peeps?! AND BECCA AS THE STORYTELLER?! AS A SERIES?!?!?!?!?!?! I am so depressed that I can't afford to back any Kickstarters currently, but I will put all my psychic energy into influencing richer people to back it so we can get as much of this as possible! 💗 ...I should... actually unpause and watch the video now, shouldn't I? 😅
Can we keep this train going? I mean, could someone put one in on account of me, too? I don't even need a membership or whatever, just love watching them play ✨ It'd be more like an extra yes vote on account of supporters who can't. I'll bet production value would skyrocket if everyone who legit *_can't_* afford one is matched by everyone who can afford an extra. (Do not stretch a thin wallet for it though!) But even when times are rough there are those still blessed with abundance.
As someone who has a hard time with games like BOTC and Werewolf, having the roles and the explanations always available on screen really helped me so thanks! Also, this series NEEDS to happen!!!!!!
Since NRB had Becca and Chris on as guests, I figure the reverse is only fair now - Dropout makes their own BotC series and invites some NRB folk on as guests from time to time (in addition to the Good Time Society videos, since I'm always eager for more high-quality BotC content). :)
SPOILERS: Brennan came in with a weak start but his "Slayer" play was PIVOTOL to evil's success. Even though Vic disbelieved him, knew he was evil, he put them onto Rekha. as a ghost he also deflected attention from Kate in which Chris was trying to mount. Vic's attention to Rekha being unsuccessful made Rekha more trustworthy so when she started nibbling on the "Maybe the saint is the demon" bait, he added so much fuel to the fire. Evil played their hands very well but I think Brennan just might have been the MVP
Yeah, it's really funny to me how both Vic and Aabria talked to Brennan early on, both came away with "Oh, he's definitely evil" and he *still* manages to spin it. 😂
Definitely tied with Kate for MVP given how open she was to dying even after becoming the Imp, she avoided ALL suspicion, as did Xander, right until the very end
As someone who has watched a lot of blood on the clocktower over on no rolls barred, I'd love to see this group play again! Most of them are clearly inexperienced which means they made some "mistakes". I'd love to see how they play once they get a better feel for the game! Either way, this was super fun and a lovely surprise for me, a dropout, LA by night, and blood on the clocktower enjoyer :)
This was amazing. Whilst it's so easy to (jubilantly) point out the DroupoutTV allstars, or the NRB references, everyone did an excellent job and I look forward to any and all future episodes with anticipation and joy 💕
THIS is exactly the kind of content I wannnnttt. The whole community of TTRPG available to watch doing stuff together that is fun and games shenanigans
I would die for a regular series of this. I need my clocktower fix since I can't assemble a group with my lame as hell friends. Also a great mix of people I knew and people I didn't. Love y'all!
This was truly phenomenal; I just wish Jams got some more time in the spotlight! They're SUCH a good ST and Ben gets so much love over on NRB that I thought she'd get love like that here, and then she kinda was just a clock hand :/
Yeah, I also wished we'd heard more from them. I think it was an issue with editing, since the nights were voiced over, Jams didn't get the opportunity to comment much, which is a pity considering in other videos you can tell how much they enjoy explaining and teaching the mechanics of the game.
Not a single dull moment or boring person in this! And, without minimizing the efforts of Kate and Xander, I find it hilarious that even in death Brennan still wins. It's so very on brand for him.
So stoked! Been waiting for a droppout & associates crew since I saw Chris & Becca on NRB. Hopefully the BotC online app is going to be bumping tonight, see you on there!
As a player and a Monthly (or Weekly) Storyteller i will say Great Job. Keeping Going. Trouble brewing always gives you a new thing whenever you play it and this was a great game to watch. Best game i have seen in a long time
Saint is a wild character because new players never respect it the first game, then respect it later on, then stop respecting it and just keep going back and forward. It's funny because the meta has shaped it so that the saint is afraid to claim saint
Yay, excited to see this, such an amazing cast! BotC has become our go-to event party game for the last year. Our favorite social deduction game and a great way to make new friends amidst the chaos.
This was great, about as chaotic to watch as I expected it was to produce and edit. So many cool moments - I appreciate how 'dead' players can continue to be part of the game - and it was probably the strongest used tactic by Brennan, just enough doubt at the end to keep Kate safe. It kept things exciting till the end! Wonderful job all!
@@canadian__ninja - no shade on Ben, but hasn't Becca been teaching and explaining games consistently since the old Geek & Sundry days? i dunno, feels weird to give him the credit for her good work
@MulberryDays I explained it poorly in my comment. What I meant was if you put the way Ben runs a clocktower game, right down to how he talks and runs each day and night, it's basically identical to how Becca did it. Way too identically to be a coincidence.
@@canadian__ninja it's almost like they run in the same boardgame circles and both present the same game for the same audience, as content with all the same technical considerations. 🙃
So crazy different seeing a bunch of newer players play after watching a ton of NRB, great game albeit that chef info was key to unraveling the mystery and was never used after its first reveal 😂
Hey if you enjoyed this and haven't seen it the youtube channel No Rolls Barred has similar games of clocktower that Becca and Chris have guested in. (I believe the ones they guest in have slightly more complicated scripts so if you're new to BotC you may want to begin with their earlier videos)
Fantastic video. It's always so fun to watch games like this, because of the entertaining plays you only really get with new players. "High level" BotC is great fun, but seeing how people who don't know the metas play is a different experience. I DID NOT recognise Jams with big makeup, and as a full person rather than a headshot circle on Ben's grim.
I'm only 20 minutes in, and I am loving this. Everyone is adding so much fun to their roles. I also find it singularly appropriate that Vic is a literal VIP in the game XD I want to see them show up everywhere and act in everything.
I love that you are doing your own series for Blood on the Clocktower. I've been watching No Rolls Barred's playthroughs for a long time and I'm hoping there will be more from this channel with even more guests. Maybe get some NRB players to hop the pond and play 🙂
Fantastic showing. My first time learning about Blood on the Clocktower and you made it really easy to understand and follow along, with how well put together this was. Also such a great cast putting on a great show. Look forward, hopefully, to seeing more!
ive been waiting for this for so long, ive already seen some dropout cast members play botc (especially enjoyed chris as st over on noobs on the gooftower), and knew rekha and sam have done some live shows, but im so happy more of them are trying out my favourite boardgame together. gonna watch this tomorrow with my friends who are just getting into botc, cant wait to watch
ok i finished it and THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD GAME! i often storytell for and watch streams of veteran players with complicated scripts, but theres also something really fun about seeing newer players play and learn the game, and trouble brewing is probably still my favourite script. also jams and becca are a great st combo, im so excited to see more of this when the ks gets funded!
Having watch hundreds of games, there is always something magical about seeing a new group. Even if they aren't all new to the game. Thank you for the game with some of my favorite people to watch on the Internet.
I think Aabria shouting: "It's still horny!!" is my favorite quote of this game xD Having the accuser and accused circling each other in the middle was a fun idea
Hi. watched this thrice already. Pls do this again. With different scripts, same scripts, shuffled cast, idc, I just want y'all to do it again. This was so well made
I may just be a bit older of a YT fan but KATE ELLIOT HOLY SHIT. I probably haven't seen them for over a decade! Crazy but awesome, I am definitely a fan
Jan Baker. Posy Petunia. Tomi Ronnie. Devina Addenburrow. Charlotte Everly. Andi Aleck. Budwinnie. Lilibet Becket. BW-193. And last but not least, Clarity Anah.
@@GreyfauxxGamingit's really easy to tunnel vision a world. Especially when the other players may have reason to be selling you an incorrect view on things. Even if something may be true it can be good to trust your info, and they are new.
Watching Dropout peeps play BOTC was an unexpected but very fun surprise and I hope they'll play more of this. But please include more of Jams next time, she's a great Storyteller and I think she would vibe well with this group.
This was so fucking good. I DESPERATELY want to see more games with these people. Definitely going to have to back the kickstarter when it goes live. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time
Lesson learned. Don't rush the saint kill even if they might be evil. Especially if you have a mayor. Could've had at least 1-2 more nights depending on how you play to rule out other options until you're down to Saint and confirmed players even if the claimed mayor is killed. It was a really good game in general, top 4s and other info roles should feel empowered the share their info and use their deaths to confirm things. Don't hold on too long to useful knowledge and definitely don't be afraid to die.
Can we please get Erika and Lou in here so all of Worlds Beyond Number cast can play together?! Thank you Becca for bringing this back with you! I loved watching you play with NRB but love it even more now! Thank you and I’ll be signing up for the Kickstarter 🎉
Everyone looks so good in this video with amazing outfits! Such a great cast too with awesome energy, definitely need to come together more often for murder mystery or BotC stuff.
PLEASE make this happen again!!! I love this game, and it never occurred to me ALL of my favorite improv actors could play at the same time!!! Here's hoping they filmed 2 games or we will bring people back for a second one!!! Thanks for the content!
Enjoyed the presentation and the rules hints. Probably good to indicate which character the Drunk (and later, the Lunatic and Marionette) thinks they are when onscreen.
Agree, and also (if it's not too visually busy) which Good characters the Evil players are claiming. Like in this game, Xander claiming Butler was a key point several times.
I’ve wanted to watch Brennan play Clocktower forever but the true treat was watching vehicular michaelis play
Watch him trying to figure things out during Vics nomination of Rehka and that whole info dump. You can watch him real time losing his mind, and trying to figure out how to best play things next.

"New players outclassing experienced players with sheer unpredictability" is my favorite phenomenon
@@ironici Chaos is a strategy!
It's exactly the same as poker. A professional poker player would much rather play against good players than bad players, because they can't read the bad players.
Hearing Brennan in the background explaining the difference between a catapult and a trebuchet made the video a 10/10 and I'm not even finished.
Excellent game. Would love to see this group or a similar one play again.
I also love that Aabria totally clocked Brennan, just 'cause she knows him TOO WELL.
Excellent??? They all played so badly
@@Pumpythecat Whereas you, I'm sure, were born with the rules preloaded into your brain 🙄
Heheh. Clocked. Good one.

Holy shit, Brennan is 1 step away from playing BOTC with NRB
ITS HAPPENING
We know he was in the UK for a week or two...!
GET OUT!!

So close!

Love that both Dropout folks and Yogscast folks have gotten into Clocktower after having guests on No Rolls Barred!
Aabria and Brennan clocking each other immediately is peek BFF. This game had everything. I loved every single machination. Kate was MVP.
WAIT AMY’S HAIR LOOKS SO GOOD WTF
As a BOTC fan, comedy fan, and gaming fan, I must implore everyone who sees this to support more of it happening as much as possible.
As someone who has watched a lot of blood on the clocktower over on no rolls barred, I'd love to see this group play again! Most of them are clearly inexperienced which means they made some "mistakes". I'd love to see how they play once they get a better feel for the game! Either way, this was super fun and a lovely surprise for me, a dropout, LA by night, and blood on the clocktower enjoyer :)

When I saw Becca appear on No Rolls Barred I KNEW a Blood on the Clocktower video would be coming soon ❤❤LOVE THE CAST
I'm here as a long-time viewer of the NRB BOTC videos, and I think we absolutely need a full season (or two, or three..) of this.

YESSSS!!! BOTC is breaking out into the mainstream!
Chris bringing Clocktower to all of these people 🎉
As a player and a Monthly (or Weekly) Storyteller i will say Great Job. Keeping Going. Trouble brewing always gives you a new thing whenever you play it and this was a great game to watch. Best game i have seen in a long time
Saint is a wild character because new players never respect it the first game, then respect it later on, then stop respecting it and just keep going back and forward. It's funny because the meta has shaped it so that the saint is afraid to claim saint
In Smosh, Angela ended up claiming Saint to protect her role as Monk. Pretty fascinating.
The funniest period was the Kill All Saints meta, because sometimes the STs had to ring up a second game after half an hour. Twice.
Yay, excited to see this, such an amazing cast! BotC has become our go-to event party game for the last year. Our favorite social deduction game and a great way to make new friends amidst the chaos.
This was great, about as chaotic to watch as I expected it was to produce and edit.

Loved seeing Jams with my dropout faves!! What a fun combination of things I love!
Been running BotC for 2 years now, and I am so glad to see it played here. With Brennan too!!
American Nerdtube doing an NRB-style BOTC with a PI Storyteller? Hell yeah. I'm absolutely in for that.
I think Aabria shouting: "It's still horny!!" is my favorite quote of this game xD
Having the accuser and accused circling each other in the middle was a fun idea

I love it! can't wait for more BOTC with this perfect cast + guests from NRB 🔥❤
This game was so much fun! I can't wait to back the kickstarter for more of these games. 🖤
Hi. watched this thrice already. Pls do this again. With different scripts, same scripts, shuffled cast, idc, I just want y'all to do it again. This was so well made
I may just be a bit older of a YT fan but KATE ELLIOT HOLY SHIT. I probably haven't seen them for over a decade! Crazy but awesome, I am definitely a fan
Jan Baker. Posy Petunia. Tomi Ronnie. Devina Addenburrow. Charlotte Everly. Andi Aleck. Budwinnie. Lilibet Becket. BW-193. And last but not least, Clarity Anah.
This was a joy to watch!! Kate did amazing and now I might have a crush lol
BECCA I NEED THIS KICKSTARTED LIVE RIGHT NOW!

To bad that one girl didnt read how recluse works or listen to like 3 people who explained it.
@@GreyfauxxGamingit's really easy to tunnel vision a world. Especially when the other players may have reason to be selling you an incorrect view on things. Even if something may be true it can be good to trust your info, and they are new.
Watching Dropout peeps play BOTC was an unexpected but very fun surprise and I hope they'll play more of this. But please include more of Jams next time, she's a great Storyteller and I think she would vibe well with this group.
I am so mad at the algorithm for utterly failing to give me this video sooner. Glad I haven't missed the Kickstarter.
Amazing storytelling, clever plays, what a fun game you guys played. Congrats on this!
Aabria has such Cassandra vibes in this one
This is the perfect game for these improv champs to play. Yes more please.
i did NOT recognize Jams in all that makeup!! excited to see this all-star cast play more games together!
@@alias_hallow same. She looks a bit different without the glasses. The superman disguise works, I guess.
Blood on the Clocktower is the perfect game for youtube.
So glad yo see yall performing
Also how wild that Kate, Alex and Aabria were all chatting (knowing their rolls)
More BOTC! Love the way yall set up the cameras for private convos!
This was so fucking good. I DESPERATELY want to see more games with these people. Definitely going to have to back the kickstarter when it goes live. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time
Lesson learned. Don't rush the saint kill even if they might be evil. Especially if you have a mayor. Could've had at least 1-2 more nights depending on how you play to rule out other options until you're down to Saint and confirmed players even if the claimed mayor is killed. It was a really good game in general, top 4s and other info roles should feel empowered the share their info and use their deaths to confirm things. Don't hold on too long to useful knowledge and definitely don't be afraid to die.
Can we please get Erika and Lou in here so all of Worlds Beyond Number cast can play together?! Thank you Becca for bringing this back with you! I loved watching you play with NRB but love it even more now! Thank you and I’ll be signing up for the Kickstarter 🎉
UMMM MORE PLEASE!
PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN SEASON!
Everyone looks so good in this video with amazing outfits! Such a great cast too with awesome energy, definitely need to come together more often for murder mystery or BotC stuff.
PLEASE make this happen again!!! I love this game, and it never occurred to me ALL of my favorite improv actors could play at the same time!!!
Here's hoping they filmed 2 games or we will bring people back for a second one!!! Thanks for the content!
Check the description; they want to make more but need to fund them.
Need more of this! Also look at Jams being all fancy! Used to seeing her at home in a tiny box
They said Jams and I went "where?!" It took me like another minute to realize she was just all gussied up.
Rehka encapsulating getting marinated by evil with the if youre both bad people youre gunna do a big trick on me is prefect
Enjoyed the presentation and the rules hints. Probably good to indicate which character the Drunk (and later, the Lunatic and Marionette) thinks they are when onscreen.
Agree, and also (if it's not too visually busy) which Good characters the Evil players are claiming. Like in this game, Xander claiming Butler was a key point several times.
OMG blood on the clocktower with brennon lee mulligan????
love this too much
This is such a fun game, I would love to see more of it!!!
1:41:26 " one of you is evil but that was stunning" is soooo funny knowing their roles
instant subscribe! what a great group.
This was FANTASTIC. Y'all have a day 1 backer here for sure.
LOVE THE WALK AROUND. That’s amazing. Lovelovelove
I'm subscribing in the hope this becomes a series!!!
I'm also really happy to see Jams here 💜 I started watching GenConTV BOTC games that she was the Storyteller for
I love Brennan’s fancy goth outfit is slacks and dress shoes with his regular shirt. I love him.
