Main St., Suite 110, Alhambra, CA 91801\ \* **๐ฒ Cover Fee:** Free\ \* **๐ช Seating:** We will be meeting in the outdoor seating area outside Wushiland Boba. Please bring a camping chair or folding chair if possible.\ \ ===============================\ ๐จ **IMPORTANT SEATING & ARRIVAL INFORMATION**\ We will be playing in the outdoor seating area outside Wushiland Boba.\ \ There is some seating available, but chairs may not be guaranteed for everyone, especially if attendance is high and both games are running at the same time.\ \ I strongly recommend bringing a camping chair or folding chair so you have a comfortable place to sit throughout the evening.\ \ Please try to arrive a little before 5:30 p.m. so there is enough time to get settled, meet the other players, choose which game you would like to join, and complete the character setup before the games begin.\ \ ๐ป Restrooms: Restrooms are available nearby at The Habit Burger Grill if needed.\ \ ========================================\ \ Join us for an evening of Blood on the Clocktower, an immersive social deduction game filled with mystery, strategy, conversation, bluffing, deception, and plenty of suspicious behavior.\ \ This event will feature two games running in parallel, giving both newer and more experienced players an opportunity to join a table that fits their experience level.\ \ Each player receives a secret character and joins either the good team or the evil team. The good team must gather information, compare clues, identify inconsistencies, and determine who the Demon is before it is too late. Meanwhile, the evil team must create confusion, spread misinformation, protect the Demon, and convince the town that someone else is responsible.\ \ Unlike many social deduction games, dying does not remove you from the experience. Even after your character dies, you may continue participating in discussions, sharing information, developing theories, and helping your team pursue victory. Dead players also retain one final vote that can become extremely important later in the game.\ \ ๐ฑ **NEW & BEGINNER PLAYERS โ TROUBLE BREWING**\ One table will be dedicated to Trouble Brewing, the introductory Blood on the Clocktower script and one of the best ways to learn the game.\ \ This table will be run by a couple of our existing Storytellers and is specifically intended for first-time players, newer players, and anyone who would like a more traditional Clocktower experience.\ \ No previous experience is required.\ \ Before the game begins, the Storytellers will explain the basic rules, character abilities, nominations, voting, executions, nighttime actions, and the other important mechanics you will need to know.\ \ Trouble Brewing uses an approachable collection of characters while still providing plenty of opportunities for deduction, bluffing, misinformation, teamwork, and unexpected twists.\ \ If you have never played Blood on the Clocktower before, this is the table I recommend joining.\ \ New players should not feel intimidated. This game is specifically being offered so that newer players can learn how Clocktower works in a friendly environment while actually experiencing a full game.\ \ ๐ฅ **EXPERIENCED PLAYERS โ BIG CHOICES AND BAD DECISIONS**\ At the second table, I will be Storytelling Big Choices and Bad Decisions.\ \ This game is intended for players who already have some familiarity with Blood on the Clocktower and are comfortable dealing with more unusual characters, interactions, and strategic decisions.\ \ As the name suggests, expect difficult choices, uncertain information, calculated risks, and decisions that may have consequences far beyond the person making them.\ \ There may be situations where there is no obviously correct choice, and players will sometimes have to make important decisions without having all of the information they would like.\ \ One Demon that could potentially appear is the Al-Hadikhia.\ If the Al-Hadikhia enters play, selected players may be confronted with a very simple question that can have extremely complicated consequences:\ \ Do you choose to live, or do you choose to die?\ \ That decision may sound straightforward, but in Blood on the Clocktower, choosing to survive is not always the safest option.\ \ Sometimes dying may provide important information. Sometimes surviving may create an even larger problem. Sometimes the decision that appears best for you may be disastrous for the rest of the town.\ And sometimes you may have to make that choice without knowing whether the people around you are telling you the truth.\ \ The Al-Hadikhia is only one of the possibilities in Big Choices and Bad Decisions, so the exact characters and threats in play will remain a mystery until the game begins.\ \ ๐ช **PLEASE BRING A CHAIR**\ Because there may be two games running simultaneously, the available outdoor seating may fill up quickly.\ \ If you have a camping chair, folding chair, or other portable chair, please bring it with you.\ \ There may already be chairs available at the location, but seating cannot be guaranteed for everyone. Bringing your own chair will help make sure you have a comfortable place to sit throughout the game.\ \ ๐ฉธ **NEW PLAYERS AND VETERANS ARE BOTH WELCOME**\ Whether this is your first game or you have already spent countless evenings confidently accusing completely innocent people of being Demons, you are welcome to join us.\ \ Come ready to meet new people, exchange information, build theories, bluff convincingly, make accusations, defend yourself, and possibly spend the evening regretting one extremely important decision.\ With two games running at the same time, there should be something available for both beginners and experienced players.\ \ New players are absolutely welcome.\ \ Please remember to bring a camping chair or folding chair if possible.\ See everyone Saturday night! ๐ฉธโฐ\ **โฐ Attendance Expectations**\ \* Please arrive on time. The rules explanation, character distribution, and game setup will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m.\ \* If you are no longer able to attend, please update your RSVP at least 24 hours before the event.\ \* Cancellations made within the 24-hour window, as well as unexcused absences, may result in permanent removal from the group.\ \* In the event of a genuine emergency, please notify the organizers as soon as reasonably possible.\ \* Repeated unexcused absences or repeated last-minute emergency notices may also result in permanent removal.\ **๐ค Code of Conduct**\ Please treat every participant with courtesy and respect.\ \ Deception, bluffing, suspicion, and accusations are part of the game, but personal attacks, hostile behavior, excessive shouting, bullying, or aggressive accusations directed at another participant are not acceptable.\ \ Please remember that this is a game. Whether you win or lose, everyone is expected to help create a welcoming, enjoyable, and respectful experience for both new and returning players.\ **โKill with grace, and die with dignity.โ**\ \

Come hit up Paper Hero's for a chill afternoon of board games with East Valley Board Games. Also, BUNDLE UP, as it can get quite chilly in our corner of the store. Layers are good.\ \ The gaming details:\ \ Attendance: This is a drop-in event, so you donโt have to stay the whole time. Come for an hour, come for two hours, show up late, leave early. As long as you clean up any mess that you leave, you're good with us and the wonderful store runners, Andrew and Zoey. NOTE: It is advisable that the best way to get in on a game without waiting is to come at the beginning of the event at 2pm. Otherwise you might have to wait for a game to end and another to begin.\ \ Parking: Paper Heroes is located in a strip mall on the northwest corner of Burbank Blvd. and Hazeltine Ave. in Sherman Oaks. No, we don't know why Meetup lists the city as Los Angeles and not Sherman Oaks.\ \ There are a few parking spaces in the small shopping center, and we would suggest looking for street parking as well. Since it's Sunday, meters will be free. **Important note: It's been brought to our attention that there are a few 1 hour parking signs around the venue, so as always, check parking signs carefully so you don't get a visit from a parking fairy.** We have had good luck parking on the east side of Hazeltine, just south of Burbank.\ \ Food: Outside food and drink is allowed in. We just ask as always that you are careful so as not to spill. There's a coffee shop next door, Nat's Early Bite, which is open until 3pm. Just please be careful and donโt spill food or drink on games, or youโll be expected to replace them, which we think is a fair policy. Also, there are some game mats placed on some tables around the stores with signs asking patrons to not place food or drink on top of them. PLEASE RESPECT THIS RULE. Don't be a jerk.\ \ Guests: Guests are great! Just be sure to note it in your RSVP, and if your guests' plans change, please update your RSVP. Please understand that you are responsible for making sure that your guests spend at least $5 at Paper Heroes to support the business.

Come hit up Paper Hero's for a chill afternoon of board games with East Valley Board Games. Also, BUNDLE UP, as it can get quite chilly in our corner of the store. Layers are good.\ \ The gaming details:\ \ Attendance: This is a drop-in event, so you donโt have to stay the whole time. Come for an hour, come for two hours, show up late, leave early. As long as you clean up any mess that you leave, you're good with us and the wonderful store runners, Andrew and Zoey. NOTE: It is advisable that the best way to get in on a game without waiting is to come at the beginning of the event at 2pm. Otherwise you might have to wait for a game to end and another to begin.\ \ Parking: Paper Heroes is located in a strip mall on the northwest corner of Burbank Blvd. and Hazeltine Ave. in Sherman Oaks. No, we don't know why Meetup lists the city as Los Angeles and not Sherman Oaks.\ \ There are a few parking spaces in the small shopping center, and we would suggest looking for street parking as well. Since it's Sunday, meters will be free. **Important note: It's been brought to our attention that there are a few 1 hour parking signs around the venue, so as always, check parking signs carefully so you don't get a visit from a parking fairy.** We have had good luck parking on the east side of Hazeltine, just south of Burbank.\ \ Food: Outside food and drink is allowed in. We just ask as always that you are careful so as not to spill. There's a coffee shop next door, Nat's Early Bite, which is open until 3pm. Just please be careful and donโt spill food or drink on games, or youโll be expected to replace them, which we think is a fair policy. Also, there are some game mats placed on some tables around the stores with signs asking patrons to not place food or drink on top of them. PLEASE RESPECT THIS RULE. Don't be a jerk.\ \ Guests: Guests are great! Just be sure to note it in your RSVP, and if your guests' plans change, please update your RSVP. Please understand that you are responsible for making sure that your guests spend at least $5 at Paper Heroes to support the business.

Main St., Suite 110, Alhambra, CA 91801\ \* **๐ฒ Cover Fee:** Free\ \* **๐ช Seating:** We will be meeting in the outdoor seating area outside Wushiland Boba. Please bring a camping chair or folding chair if possible.\ \ ===============================\ ๐จ **IMPORTANT SEATING & ARRIVAL INFORMATION**\ We will be playing in the outdoor seating area outside Wushiland Boba.\ \ There is some seating available, but chairs may not be guaranteed for everyone, especially if attendance is high and both games are running at the same time.\ \ I strongly recommend bringing a camping chair or folding chair so you have a comfortable place to sit throughout the evening.\ \ Please try to arrive a little before 5:30 p.m. so there is enough time to get settled, meet the other players, choose which game you would like to join, and complete the character setup before the games begin.\ \ ๐ป Restrooms: Restrooms are available nearby at The Habit Burger Grill if needed.\ \ ========================================\ \ Join us for an evening of Blood on the Clocktower, an immersive social deduction game filled with mystery, strategy, conversation, bluffing, deception, and plenty of suspicious behavior.\ \ This event will feature two games running in parallel, giving both newer and more experienced players an opportunity to join a table that fits their experience level.\ \ Each player receives a secret character and joins either the good team or the evil team. The good team must gather information, compare clues, identify inconsistencies, and determine who the Demon is before it is too late. Meanwhile, the evil team must create confusion, spread misinformation, protect the Demon, and convince the town that someone else is responsible.\ \ Unlike many social deduction games, dying does not remove you from the experience. Even after your character dies, you may continue participating in discussions, sharing information, developing theories, and helping your team pursue victory. Dead players also retain one final vote that can become extremely important later in the game.\ \ ๐ฑ **NEW & BEGINNER PLAYERS โ TROUBLE BREWING**\ One table will be dedicated to Trouble Brewing, the introductory Blood on the Clocktower script and one of the best ways to learn the game.\ \ This table will be run by a couple of our existing Storytellers and is specifically intended for first-time players, newer players, and anyone who would like a more traditional Clocktower experience.\ \ No previous experience is required.\ \ Before the game begins, the Storytellers will explain the basic rules, character abilities, nominations, voting, executions, nighttime actions, and the other important mechanics you will need to know.\ \ Trouble Brewing uses an approachable collection of characters while still providing plenty of opportunities for deduction, bluffing, misinformation, teamwork, and unexpected twists.\ \ If you have never played Blood on the Clocktower before, this is the table I recommend joining.\ \ New players should not feel intimidated. This game is specifically being offered so that newer players can learn how Clocktower works in a friendly environment while actually experiencing a full game.\ \ ๐ฅ **EXPERIENCED PLAYERS โ BIG CHOICES AND BAD DECISIONS**\ At the second table, I will be Storytelling Big Choices and Bad Decisions.\ \ This game is intended for players who already have some familiarity with Blood on the Clocktower and are comfortable dealing with more unusual characters, interactions, and strategic decisions.\ \ As the name suggests, expect difficult choices, uncertain information, calculated risks, and decisions that may have consequences far beyond the person making them.\ \ There may be situations where there is no obviously correct choice, and players will sometimes have to make important decisions without having all of the information they would like.\ \ One Demon that could potentially appear is the Al-Hadikhia.\ If the Al-Hadikhia enters play, selected players may be confronted with a very simple question that can have extremely complicated consequences:\ \ Do you choose to live, or do you choose to die?\ \ That decision may sound straightforward, but in Blood on the Clocktower, choosing to survive is not always the safest option.\ \ Sometimes dying may provide important information. Sometimes surviving may create an even larger problem. Sometimes the decision that appears best for you may be disastrous for the rest of the town.\ And sometimes you may have to make that choice without knowing whether the people around you are telling you the truth.\ \ The Al-Hadikhia is only one of the possibilities in Big Choices and Bad Decisions, so the exact characters and threats in play will remain a mystery until the game begins.\ \ ๐ช **PLEASE BRING A CHAIR**\ Because there may be two games running simultaneously, the available outdoor seating may fill up quickly.\ \ If you have a camping chair, folding chair, or other portable chair, please bring it with you.\ \ There may already be chairs available at the location, but seating cannot be guaranteed for everyone. Bringing your own chair will help make sure you have a comfortable place to sit throughout the game.\ \ ๐ฉธ **NEW PLAYERS AND VETERANS ARE BOTH WELCOME**\ Whether this is your first game or you have already spent countless evenings confidently accusing completely innocent people of being Demons, you are welcome to join us.\ \ Come ready to meet new people, exchange information, build theories, bluff convincingly, make accusations, defend yourself, and possibly spend the evening regretting one extremely important decision.\ With two games running at the same time, there should be something available for both beginners and experienced players.\ \ New players are absolutely welcome.\ \ Please remember to bring a camping chair or folding chair if possible.\ See everyone Saturday night! ๐ฉธโฐ\ **โฐ Attendance Expectations**\ \* Please arrive on time. The rules explanation, character distribution, and game setup will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m.\ \* If you are no longer able to attend, please update your RSVP at least 24 hours before the event.\ \* Cancellations made within the 24-hour window, as well as unexcused absences, may result in permanent removal from the group.\ \* In the event of a genuine emergency, please notify the organizers as soon as reasonably possible.\ \* Repeated unexcused absences or repeated last-minute emergency notices may also result in permanent removal.\ **๐ค Code of Conduct**\ Please treat every participant with courtesy and respect.\ \ Deception, bluffing, suspicion, and accusations are part of the game, but personal attacks, hostile behavior, excessive shouting, bullying, or aggressive accusations directed at another participant are not acceptable.\ \ Please remember that this is a game. Whether you win or lose, everyone is expected to help create a welcoming, enjoyable, and respectful experience for both new and returning players.\ **โKill with grace, and die with dignity.โ**\ \
