Theme Description (Flavor)
The sun rises. The blood flows. The crowd watches, helpless.
In this cursed village, death no longer waits for nightfall. It walks boldly under the sun, slipping through laughter and daylight routine with a smile and a knife. Here, the townsfolk do not hang their dead—they create them. With a gesture, a whisper, a poorly chosen vote, another life is erased.
Slayers strike at noon. Psychopaths make midday promises they keep. Harpies sing and hearts stop. The Golem gazes into the burning sun. Even the Witch needs no cover of darkness to damn the foolish.
In Death in Daylight, the gallows are quiet…but the square is never safe. Trust no daylight. Fear the living more than the night.
Mechanical Goals of Script
The core concept of this script is to have quite a few forms of death during the day, with some obscurity surrounding them. It is a mechanically simple script and is intended for faster games.
Key Notes
If you put a Yaggababble in the bag, the extra deaths from the Yaggababble are intended to be day deaths. So be creative with it! You will at times have to make snap decisions as an ST on this script with Harpy madness and Yaggababble kills during the day.
Key Characters
Pirate – A very fun role to play in this script. You don’t care if good or evil dies. You are playing for team pirate! Yarrr!
Pixie – With how quickly players die on this script, it doesn’t take quite long for you to gain an ability.
Slayer – Contributes to the day death theme while hunting for the demon!
Alchemist – A crowd favorite as it is always fun to have a minion ability. You can even make a Scarlet Woman Alchemist in an Imp game to deny a possible star pass!
Scavenger – A fun role to be, especially with the rate of player deaths. Something good happening could entail turning the Scavenger into a Pirate and therefore confirming other pirates, killing a minion, etc…be creative!
Golem – A pretty powerful outsider borderline Townsfolk. You can kill an outed Psychopath or potentially find the Demon. Do be wary, as the Fang Gu may use the Golem in a pinch as an escape hatch.
Witch – Contributes to day deaths.
Harpy – Contributes to day deaths. Plus, you can weaponize a Golem or Alchemist Psychopath!
Psychopath – An exciting role to play as but you might want to be careful of an Alchemist Psychopath or Golem lurking around the corner.
Yaggababble – Try to make the extra deaths happen during the day.
