App version 3.46.0 is live now - The Language Update!

Hi folks.

Over the past couple of years we've been slowly translating Blood on the Clocktower into a number of different languages, subsequently releasing them as boxed versions of the physical game. Because this has been an incremental process, we've always seen it as something that we'd add to the app 'eventually'. That eventually never came, because there are over 6,000 languages spoke...

Die with Dignity - In your own tongue!

Hi everyone! As we recently said in the previous Patreon post, the app will soon be available in multiple languages but we need your support to make this happen!

New official app tutorial video

Hey Guys.

Our old tutorial was...well...old and kinda lacking in a lot of the more advanced features. For this reason, I've created a new one which goes into a lot more detail. I hope you and your players find this useful. It's aimed at Storytellers but it also covers everything a player might need to know in order to understand how the app works.

Have fun,

Ben.

This is causing some disconnects when accessing the app. There is a fix for this and Patters very kindly made a video explaining how to deploy it on a Windows machine. You can use this fix until we figure out a way to bypass it prope...
