Lineage 1 Emblems High Quality Page

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.

Here is my current set of documents for printing DIY Blood on the Clocktower components. All this work is my adaptation of art and text © 2014–2021 Steven Medway and Pandemonium Institute.

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 lineage 1 emblems

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.

Component boxes lineage 1 emblems

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 lineage 1 emblems

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.

Grimoire tokens lineage 1 emblems

All the tokens for the Grimoire (except characters): ability markers, alignment markers, info cards, death shrouds, night reminders.

A track to show the current day or night phase, by number.

Two large cards (or one card double-sided) to declare, and pose for photos, which team won the game.

The 12 information card faces can be made single-sided (12 cards) or glued back to back double-sided (6 cards).

A brochure-like promotional card with a little detail about the game, to show to curious onlookers while a game is in progress.

Town Square lineage 1 emblems

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.
