This is amazing news, and I'm glad to hear the end goal is making a custom script and being able to purchase those tokens + a token box. I ADORE this idea
Really appreciate this Q&A. Lots of answers I was looking for and really enjoyable to watch. Flipped alignment tokens are an idea that sounds good for a couple seconds and then you realize what a nightmare it'd be to actually use. The one thing that could be useful is a flipped version of characters that will likely swap a lot (Cult Leader and Goon are prime examples). Upside-down is still easier.
For instances when good tokens need to be shown as evil: Instead of printing both colors, include a few red plastic rings to place around the blue tokens on the grim. -- Now I see folks in the live chat had the same idea.
For the common alliance-changing-characters wouldn't double sided tokens, good on one side, evil on the other, be much easier than seperate good and evil tokens? When you take the token from the player, just be sure to tell them their starting alliance if it is unclear.

Whens the super official, "Its Cold Outside" Script coming out? ;)

How would you ensure they adhere to the grimoire without one side being made of felt? - Ben
@@BloodontheClocktower that's why you work for TPI and I don't. lol the thought didn't even cross my mind.
Would prefer just getting a bundle of all the newer characters instead of having to make several scripts to get them all.
I’d assume they’d probably offer a pack of all of them as well as the customisable set.
38:12 But the Mathematician Chambermaid?
And Lunatic Mathematician, and Fang Gu Scarlet Woman
i think they mean in each base script individually. Chambermaid and Mathematician are from different scripts
@@Kenoboi_42 okay they say "on any of the scripts"
Sorry for being stupid
