The fantastically fun social deduction game
Blood on the
Clocktower is still in prototype, expected to release
in early to mid 2022. But some of us can't wait!
Fortunately for eager fans,
the Pandemonium
Institute has announced they are happy for anyone to use
do-it-yourself resources to make the physical game (called a
“Grimoire”, the box loaded up with all components) provided we
don't sell anything and don't use it for automated games.
This is intended to supplement official resources found via the
Blood on the
Clocktower site. I don't consider this to be a print-and-play
suitable game; these are for only some of the game components.
Grimoire box
You'll need a large, sturdy box for the Grimoire. I've
up-cycled an unwanted game that has a good deep rectangular box;
this document is custom shaped to that. Print on single-sided A3
paper, and apply these panels to all exterior surfaces of the
lid and tray. I then cover all that with protective
adhesive-backed transparent film.
There are so many components in this game it is wise to keep
them organised into smaller containers, both for storage and
during play.
Each edition gets a long box for its tokens (character,
marker). There is an extra “Storyteller box” for the general
components for Town Square (life token, vote token, name label),
Grimoire (death shroud, information card, reminder token) and
Fabled tokens (character, marker).
Print single-sided onto A3 paper, glue panels to each side of
sturdy card (make sure to line up each side exactly), then cut,
fold, and glue to form the boxes. These are sized to fit inside
my custom Grimoire box.
A set of modular separators divide each long box into sections.
Print the dividers onto thick card, cut and fold, and glue at
the marked positions in the base of each box.

Character tokens
The web images are a good start, but are optimised for display
on a pixel device, not printing to paper. The resolution is low,
there's a useless shadow, the text is blurry, etc.
I've made these high-resolution tokens, rendered the icons, no
shadow, and a more readable font. 47mm diameter tokens. Pages
are A4 size.
I use a Town Square sized for the specific game board that I
cannibalised; you may find it useful, but you also might want to
re-size it.
The document is designed for a folding two-panel board. The
front panels show the Town Square and a table of Character
Counts for reference during the game. The rear panels show an
overview of the game.

First-person variant: The Storyteller reads the
explanation aloud to the group. The second page is a
bullet-point checklist of steps to set up the game from the
beginning.
Third-person variant: A delegated assistant player reads
the explanation aloud to the group. The second page is a
reference sheet of Travellers and Character counts, to
display under the Town Square.
When teaching the game these days, I use a rules explanation
that differs in some places. See a detailed discussion
of my custom rules explanation for the game.

The Nu West Leda Miss Crosley NWV 387: A Deep Dive into a Vintage Hi-Fi Enigma
In the world of vintage audio, certain model numbers achieve legendary status. The Marantz 2270, the McIntosh MC275, and the Technics SL-1200 are household names. But lurking in the shadowy corners of collector forums, estate sales, and restoration workshops is a far rarer specimen: the Nu West Leda Miss Crosley NWV 387.
Based on music archiving and vinyl collecting conventions, this appears to be a reference to a specific record release. Here is a blog post written around that topic, interpreting "NUV 387" as a catalog number and "Nu West" as a label (possibly a sub-label or reissue series). nu west leda miss crosley nwv 387
To the uninitiated, the string of words and numbers—nu west leda miss crosley nwv 387—reads like a cryptic password. To the dedicated audiophile or mid-century electronics enthusiast, however, it represents a fascinating, albeit frustrating, chapter in consumer audio history. This article unpacks every component of that name, explores the device’s origins, its technical specifications, and why it has become a coveted (and confusing) piece of sonic nostalgia.

In the context of Nu West Leda films, "Miss Crosley" is the stage name for a specific disciplinarian who appeared in several titles. Check device label for exact manufacturer and search
Issue 1: The Turntable Won't Spin or Spins Erratically
The grease used on the turntable mechanism hardens into glue after 20 years.
Fix: You must disassemble the platter, clean off the old lithium grease with isopropyl alcohol, and re-lubricate with white lithium grease or sewing machine oil.
Resources & Next Steps
Check device label for exact manufacturer and search model NWV 387 online for manual and firmware.
Preserve the serial number and photos before any service.
If you want, tell me which of the following you want next and I’ll produce it:
Safety & Compliance
Follow voltage and grounding guidelines.
Use specified fuses and cables.
Ensure compliance labels (FCC, CE) if using wireless features.

Issue 3: Static When Turning Knobs
The potentiometers (pots) for volume and tone are dirty.
Fix: Purchase a can of DeoxIT D5. Spray it into the small slots on the potentiometers and rotate the knobs 30 times.
