Man, that was fun. Wheels was simultaneously the spanner for not realizing he was drunk for quite awhile but also extremely helpful for the good guys. So happy we got this Let's Play.
Wow. This looks like an amazing social deduction game. It has the appeal of everyone having a power (like One Night Ultimate series), it allows dead players to still be able to participate (like Donner Dinner Party), and best of all it has a moderator that actually has agency in writing the story of the game to make it more interesting. I already enjoy being the moderator for something like Ultimate Werewolf, but I think this would easily replace it (which I'm cool with because I'm hooked on the One Night version). Thanks for making this video! I really enjoyed it. I didn't mind the quality of the sound--I understood everything said with no issue. If you do another the only thing I'd suggest is having the night phase stuff on screen for longer, but it's really not an issue since you can just pause the video to process it. This is the sort of game I'd easily watch a series of plays of.
really loved this game/video. would love to see it done again with more players! The sound was hard to listen to, probably needs subtitles, for when the players talk (the gamemaster was clear enough though)
This looks like you guys had fun, but I have no idea what’s going on. Subtitles, miccing people individually, and a multi-camera setup with some editing for private conversations, simultaneous conversations, etc, would go a long way. I just watched Ben on the No Rolls Barred playthrough, that was really well done. I had no idea he had those massive dreads though!
@Spideog formerly of Highgate I suspect she spells it "Sareh" due to how she pronounced it. EDIT the video captions spell it Sara... Bu yeah, as seems to be the norm, we see them in a video BEFORE they get introduced. :p
I thought that if the mayor was alive with only three left, then the game would be a cinch, but actually that's when the game became the most interesting.
Love this game so much. You should do a massive eurogamer / RPS / Oxbox / Dice breaker session! Shame I can't scrape together enough people for it to be worthwhile!
I think the nail in the coffin for the evil team is when the baron refused to claim a role, basically admitting that they were evil, this destroyed any world where the mayor was lying because the empath was basically cleared and the only way for the mayor to be the demon is if the empath was the minion
Very surprising the good team won that! Well done! Showing both evil players to the drunk librarian as the Saint is borderline cruel :p. An interesting tactic could have been showing both evil players as the recluse, and when the actual recluse comes out, they’ll look dodgy!
I imagine this would be great for people familiar with hidden roles games and looking for a twist. I however found this confusing and difficult to follow. Also you couldn't always make out what was being said. It does look fun however so keeping this in mind for a few years down the line.
Clavan Dsouza once the monk died and she was told no evil players bordered her, she should’ve deduced who the Imp was immediately (since the librarian and the mayor border her and the imp is the only other person alive still).
Did you see the latest oxventure? At the end they presented him with a DMG signed by all the game creators and he looks like he's about to break down on stage. It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
@@mar_speedman it is not random. The ST chooses if they want to. The first time, Mayor deserves their ability to work. Second time was actually the only choice that gave evil a chance.
Yep! I have played as Imp before and often kill my minions if they are starting to look suspicious. It’s a risky move but I did win a game by playing it like that before. 👌🏻
i came from Oxveture vids, love em real much. But Dicebreaker's... most of the time i barely can read the words in cards and sometime people talk so softly almost whisper, hard to make up what you guys actually saying and in this vid particularly soo many echos >_
Alex is a pretty bad player at this. She threw under the bus her minion and she took forever to play the saint role. I’m actually surprised how she managed to last so long.
This sound quality is inexcusable. It’s pretty goddamn ballsy for Gamer Network/ReedPop to accept superchats from viewers when this video makes it abundantly clear that they’re not giving any of that money to their channels for any kind of sound dampening or audio engineering budget; or a studio that’s wider than IKEA’s cheapest sofa. Also, why does Jamaican Kevin Smith have a personal mic and the people actually playing don’t? C’mon guys, this could’ve been great, but it sounds like someone recorded a night school improv class on a water-damaged Windows Phone. Jesus Christ!
Assuming this is another part of the Gamer Network offices, it's probably the biggest, emptiest space they could find. We know that they have at least 2 small studios all ready setting up, but neither would fit this number of people. We have only seen 3 lavalier mics in one video and it wouldn't be superising they shot videos at different times, maybe sharing equipment. More evidence that equipment is shared between teams would be the increase in the stands mounted mics seen in OX videos, as if the lavalier mics are broken or already in use. They will have decided to use the lavalier on the GM/story teller as he moves around a lot more then the rest of the players and it would be harder to pick up from the camera mounted mics. It costs at least £80 (and easily more) per transmitter and receiver pack, so giving each person one would be over £600 in audio equipment for just one video. Considering we don't normally see Gamer Network videos of this scale, outside of large events, it's not too unreasonable to say that they got what equipment they could get before filming. TLDR it's an unusual video, it's expensive to buy AV equipment for ever possible use case and I need to go crack on teaching this.
I wish this had subtitles. The room is so echoey, it makes it hard to hear.
Watching Wheels slowly piece everything together was fantastic. So happy he finally figured out his drunkenness in the end.
It's Ben! He runs a great game. I had the pleasure of playing in one of his Blood on the Clocktower games in Nottingham last year!
Man, that was fun. Wheels was simultaneously the spanner for not realizing he was drunk for quite awhile but also extremely helpful for the good guys. So happy we got this Let's Play.

Audio? Abysmal,
Content? Amazing
A mysterious member of the Dicebreaker team yet to have been subjected to the bucket? Interesting.
Yeah I was surprised about that as well...was she working in the mine until now with margaret??
@Spideog formerly of Highgate I suspect she spells it "Sareh" due to how she pronounced it. EDIT the video captions spell it Sara...
Bu yeah, as seems to be the norm, we see them in a video BEFORE they get introduced. :p
Damn I didn’t know daddy Ben had those locks of hair
"I have been brutally murdered last night. That means that one of these people is a demon."
Does it?
Yes, it was done in a very demonish way. There was demon residue all over the place.
@@bennburns Ah, of course. One of them "infernal killins".
Have you ever been brutally murdered? Then you don’t know!
I thought that if the mayor was alive with only three left, then the game would be a cinch, but actually that's when the game became the most interesting.
The chaotic nature of the drunk is always a fun one in this game.
Great content guys! Loved it and will absolutely love another go of this, preferably with more players!
Wow making the drunk see the imp as a Saint is an amazing twist, definitely gonna use this
Love this game so much. You should do a massive eurogamer / RPS / Oxbox / Dice breaker session! Shame I can't scrape together enough people for it to be worthwhile!

Yeah, not the best option. Ben even helped evil out by killing the empath to try and put shade on the mayor
This was so fun, I really enjoyed it and I'd LOVE to see you guys do this live at egx or rezzed with the EG/Oxbox/RPS crew! ❤️
I'd love to play this game! Great presentation and Presenter (Ben! Sweet dreads!) Though audio was hard to distinguish at times.
Daddy Ben! he runs an amazing game on No Rolls Barred!
I feel like none of the games we play when the game finally lands will ever be as Epic as a Ben-Run game.
Very surprising the good team won that! Well done! Showing both evil players to the drunk librarian as the Saint is borderline cruel :p. An interesting tactic could have been showing both evil players as the recluse, and when the actual recluse comes out, they’ll look dodgy!
Great stuff! Would love to see more, and Maybe with some more mics next time and some more players :)

I am burning a hole in the 'Empath' waiting for her to speak! 34:50
Clavan Dsouza once the monk died and she was told no evil players bordered her, she should’ve deduced who the Imp was immediately (since the librarian and the mayor border her and the imp is the only other person alive still).
Why does only one person have a microphone?
You guys should absolutely play this with the outside xbox crew. That would be so much fun.
oh they are both called alex!! i was feeling so guilty that i forgot a name
yes, Alex Meehan, and Alex Lolies(the blond one)
What no Johnny literally everyone else in the world.
Did you see the latest oxventure? At the end they presented him with a DMG signed by all the game creators and he looks like he's about to break down on stage. It's the sweetest thing I've ever seen.
over a year late but i did get that carry-on screaming reference meehan
Imagine posting this video with the current sound setup. I can't.
This is an odd find, I think this storyteller was the one we had at the UKgames expo where I won as the imp :)
After the 2nd night, the Empath should have figured out who the Evil people are...
Exactly! What in the world was going through her head??
New people need patience lol
why did the recluse die? 19:14
The imp Targetted the mayor. The mayor sometimes can be chosen not to be killed in place of another person. That's why she died
@@Mercsblog thanks!
Why were people getting killed in the night who weren't chosen?
I think when the imp targets the mayor, the attack reflects to a random person
@@mar_speedman yeah, that's the only thing I could come up with. Makes sense I guess.
@@mar_speedman it is not random. The ST chooses if they want to. The first time, Mayor deserves their ability to work. Second time was actually the only choice that gave evil a chance.
@@Moleoflands I have no idea what you're talking about, reply to a comment on a video I watched three years ago and have no recollection of! :D
I would love to watch this but sound is just awful and I can not follow. Sorry.
So does the imp not know who their minions are?
They do. Or at least, Alex got told who her minion was at the start.
She agreed to kill the baron to continue the fiction that she was good / the saint I expect.
Probably. If she was the only one that tried to defend the baron, it would have been pretty suspicious.
Yep! I have played as Imp before and often kill my minions if they are starting to look suspicious. It’s a risky move but I did win a game by playing it like that before. 👌🏻
Also worth noting the Imp can kill themselves in the night and pass it on to a minion if they feel like the heat is too high.
i came from Oxveture vids, love em real much. But Dicebreaker's... most of the time i barely can read the words in cards and sometime people talk so softly almost whisper, hard to make up what you guys actually saying and in this vid particularly soo many echos >_
they have foosball?!?!?!
Engagement!
That’s a lot of white guy dreads.
I have no wit or charm, so I had to get dreads.
Its a Rasta-Mullet.
lol beginners. Why kill the mayor on the last night who was the only other sus person besides yourself the imp?
Alex is a pretty bad player at this. She threw under the bus her minion and she took forever to play the saint role. I’m actually surprised how she managed to last so long.
Didn't have much of a choice though. Empath cleared so many

Though pretty harsh, I kind of agree. I had a really hard time hearing what the people were talking about and that took me out of it a little.
