Custom Clocktower is a fan-made companion for Blood on the Clocktower players and Storytellers. Look up characters and build scripts before the game, then run it from the Grimoire on your phone. Look up characters Search by name, character ID or team, across Townsfolk, Outsiders, Minions, Demons, Travellers, Fabled and Loric. Each character shows its ability along with night order, reminders and jinxes where they apply. For tips on running a character, the Almanac collects Ben Finney's unofficial commentary. Scripts and custom characters Make your own characters with your own artwork, abilities, reminder tokens and jinxes. Custom characters are private by default; anyone viewing a script that includes them can see them. Import scripts from JSON, share them by link, and export them as an image or JSON file. Run the game Pick a script and hand out characters yourself, or send each player a link to get their own. The Grimoire shows the night order and lets you add reminders and notes. Host a live game and players join from the app on their own phones with a join code. Token positions and status markers are cleared when you leave the Grimoire, so finish the game before you navigate away. Between games Try the official quizzes or write your own, and keep the rules and glossary at hand. Good to know • You don't need an account to browse characters or run games.
