ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.

A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Join us at Bard & Baker on select Fridays in 2025 for our Blood on the Clocktower Organized Play night with Jack! Arrival time is 7:00 PM. Game covers can be purchased in advance on our website or in person the night-of at the register.

Plenty of food and drinks available for purchase the night of!

Date: Saturday February 22nd

Time: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Level 3 Adventure suitable for 10-14 year olds

‘The Wolves of Welton’ by Winghorn Press

It’s been a long time since the people of Welton have worried about anything but sheep ticks and late frosts, but now a pack of strangely determined wolves are spiriting away entire flocks at a time and driving farmers from their fields. With food running low and their sorcerer-in-residence nowhere to be found, the village council send out a desperate plea for brave adventurers to destroy the beasts. Is the job as easy as a walk in the woods, or is there more to the Wolves of Welton than mere animal cunning? There’s only one way to find out…

Come prepared with a 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons character of your own choice or use a prepared character from DM Lynn. Everything needed to play the game will be available (dice, pencils, etc...). Space is limited to 6 players only so get your tickets ASAP here on our online store.

Please note if using D&D beyond, we are using Legacy 2014 5th Edition

D&D Lvl 5 One Shot Adventure: The Secret of the Mad Mage

Date: Thursday, February 27th

Time: 5:30 - 9:30pm 

Cost: $15

Join the adventuring party for a Dungeons and Dragons one-shot adventure for 5th level characters. Create your character, grab some dice, and scramble to uncover the true identity of the Mad Mage!

“Waterdeep is buried in a wave of paranoia. Blackmail, ransoms, and extortion flow through the city’s beleaguered bird-delivered mail. As the city tears itself apart to try and keep its secrets safe, many fear the Mad Mad Halaster is finally exacting their twisted revenge on the city. Now an owl and a parchment arrives for you… Can you discover the truth behind the Mad Mage’s messages?”

This 5th level one-shot is inspired by an adventure prompt from the roleplaying game Troika and will take about 3 and a half hours to complete. Some previous play experience is encouraged but all are invited to join the table!

Come prepared with a character of your own imagining with an uncommon magical item using any currently published 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons materials or use one of the pre-generated characters provided. You are encouraged to bring along writing supplies. The materials and pace of these sessions are intended for participants 14 years and older. 

A ticket is required for each participant in your party. Seats are limited so make sure to snag your spot HERE!

Seating begins at 5:30pm to grab food, drink and settle in before the game begins. Please arrive early if you are planning to choose a pre-generated character so you may familiarize yourself. Printed characters are not required, feel free to play your character on a tablet or app if that is easiest for you.

DM Alex Timmis (he/him) loves telling stories around the table with friends. He has been playing Dungeons and Dragons for eight years and rolling dice behind the DM screen for four of them. While an improv performer and instructor, Alex fell in love with role playing games and helped bring FIASCO! to life onstage at the Mopco Improv Theater in Schenectady.  He is currently the Artistic Director of the Electric City Puppets. Role playing games, like improv, give us space to play and explore roles we don’t typically get to play in our day-to-day lives. Alex encourages a playful and respectful table where all players get a chance to add to the narrative and share the spotlight with one another.

ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.

A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Join us at Bard & Baker on select Fridays in 2025 for our Blood on the Clocktower Organized Play night with Jack! Arrival time is 7:00 PM. Game covers can be purchased in advance on our website or in person the night-of at the register.

Plenty of food and drinks available for purchase the night of!

ON THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT...

During a hellish thunderstorm, a scream echoes through the sleepy town of Ravenswood Bluff. The townsfolk rush to investigate and find the beloved local storyteller has been murdered, their body hanging limp from the clocktower. As blood drips onto the cobblestones below, a realisation slowly dawns… a demon has been unleashed, killing by night and taking on human form by day.

Can good find the demon in time? Or will evil overrun this once peaceful town?

WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception for five-to-twenty courageous players and one devious storyteller.

A social game played in person, seated in a circle, each player receives either a ‘good’ or ‘evil’ token with their unique character on it. Good players share information to solve the mystery whilst evil players lie about who they are and what they know. The good team wins if they can piece together their knowledge, trust each other, and execute the demon. The evil team wins if the demon can sow distrust, evade detection, and wipe out the village.

Join us at Bard & Baker on select Fridays in 2025 for our Blood on the Clocktower Organized Play night with Jack! Arrival time is 7:00 PM. Game covers can be purchased in advance on our website or in person the night-of at the register.

Plenty of food and drinks available for purchase the night of!
