Blood on the Clocktower at Gunpowder Creek Nature Park (Burlington, KY)

As we move into nicer weather, we're taking our first crack at some outdoor Clocktower. Bryant will be hosting at the Gunpowder Creek Nature Park in Burlington, KY.

This park is labeled as both Gunpowder Creek Nature Park and Sperti Park. There is one shelter next to the sign which we have reserved from 7am until 9pm. While this event is free, it did cost about $50 to book the shelter. If you are inclined to help out with the cost of running the event, we have donations turned on or you can chip in with cash or Venmo on the day of the event.

I don't intend to start running games until noon, but you are welcome to start using the shelter earlier for gaming or just hanging out. The shelter has bathrooms, electric, a water fountain, a grill, and 4 picnic tables. Please bring more comfortable seating if you would like it for the game.

About Blood on the Clocktower

In the quiet village of Ravenswood Bluff, ‌a demon walks amongst you. During a hellish thunderstorm, on the stroke of midnight, there echoes a bone-chilling scream. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the town storyteller murdered, their body impaled on the hands of the clocktower, blood dripping onto the cobblestones below. A Demon is on the loose, murdering by night and disguised in human form by day. Some have scraps of information. Others have abilities that fight the evil or protect the innocent. But the Demon and its evil minions are spreading lies to confuse and breed suspicion. Will the good townsfolk put the puzzle together in time to execute the true demon and save themselves? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful village?

Blood on the Clocktower is a bluffing game with players on opposing teams of Good and Evil, overseen by a Storyteller player who conducts the action and makes crucial decisions. The goal of the game is to successfully deduce and execute the demons before they outnumber the townfolk.

During a 'day' phase players socialize openly and whisper privately to trade knowledge or spread lies, culminating in a player's execution if a majority suspects them of being Evil. During a 'night' time, players close their eyes and are woken one at a time by the Storyteller to gather information, spread mischief, or kill.

The Storyteller uses the game's intricate playing pieces to guide each game, leaving others free to play without a table or board. Players stay in the thick of the action to the very end even if their characters are killed, haunting Ravenswood Bluff as ghosts trying to win from beyond the grave. If you arrive late to a game, you can enter after it's started as a powerful Traveller character with unusual talents and questionable allegiances. Each character comes with their own special ability and no two players in a game are ever the same character.
