This year, we're taking Christmas-themed Werewolf to the next level. It's going to be a veritable Christmaspalooza, which is, I suppose, like Christmas but louder and more intoxicated. Bottom line: there are new Werewolf roles, and we are chronicling them here for the good of all mankind.
We will be covering such battle-tested classics as Santa, Krampus, and The Muffin Man, as well as fifteen new ideas for 2016.
A village rests at the base of a mountain, nearly swallowed by the dense woods that surround it. Its inhabitants are a hardy folk, having resisted a clan of bloodthirsty werewolves for generations. Only the brave Lamplighters, who know the arcane secrets to keeping the village's Sun Lamps lit, stand in the way of death. However, a mad scientist, exiled from the village to die on the mountain above, has concocted a new plan for revenge - solar powered automatons. He seeks vengeance by kidnapping villagers and imprisoning their souls in metal bodies, using the mad creations to hunt the village's leaders and turning their precious Sun Lamps against them. Now the village huddles in fear at night, with an impossible choice - light the Sun Lamps and die in a fury of metal? Or go dark and die to fur and fang – or paranoia – instead?
The EatVillagers mod team is excited to once again be working with Dice Tower Convention to ensure that there is lots of fun things happening in the Social Deduction Area (Boca rms 1-4, 7 & 8) running werewolf games from 10pm- onward.
Like last year, we will be offering custom made games with limited availability, and sign ups will be in the Boca Foyer starting at 9pm. Because there will, on most nights, be two special games running simultaneously, you will only be allowed to sign up for one game and you will only be able sign up for a game on the night it is being played. Special games will begin seating promptly at 10pm.
This year, we have expanded our lists of games and designed several different werewolf mechanics to fit our games. It it is suggested that people be familiar with the basic version of Ultimate Werewolf before attempting any of the themed games, those marked ‘expert’ are for the most experienced players.
A secluded village under siege must use magical lamps to empower their defenses and fight off attacks from werewolves and a mad scientist. The addition of a lamp mechanic to the night phase adds new strategy to the Werewolf experience.

Investigator? Cultist? Lord Cthulhu itself? Gurgling horrors await in Cthulhu Werewolf, where knowledge is power and sanity is optional. This is a fun game - be prepared to act out hilarious insanities if you draw the attention of the Sleeper of R’lyeh.
Difficulty: Intermediate. Cthulhu, oddly, is light-hearted and fun. Who knew? The game does have new roles, but tends to involve a lot of laughing.

Step inside the home of those who suffer insanities and those who care for them as a string of killings happened. Figure out if your sane or perhaps your just a little crazy. Work together as a team and discover who and what is causing the deaths, that is, unless, it's just all in your head...
Difficulty: Advanced-- New rules & different mechanics.

Sauron rises in the East, and the One Ring must be destroyed. This is a very advanced game with 20+ new roles, artifacts such as a physical One Ring that conveys dark power to its wielder, multiple teams, and a new Corruption mechanic… Because in Middle Earth, many things may entrap the unwary.
Difficulty: Expert. Please look over the rules first on this one - there's a lot going on. You do not need to walk in understanding the rules, but you do need to be able to pick it up eventually. Prior Werewolf experience is definitely required.

Disney has always been a place full of magic, and though there are many examples of its misuse, good always triumphs over evil. Right? That certainly hasn’t stopped villians from infiltrating another gathering of heros. With princes trying to find their princess, and people having underlying intentions, is everything really as it seems in a village based on the Happiest Place on Earth?
Difficulty: Intermediate, though there are new mechanics and story-based unlockables that will help the village.

Watch the Skies is a MegaGame, which means it often involves upwards of 50 people, and is a vast social game featuring interlocking RPG and board game components. Think Risk meets Model UN, with aliens.

Shaking and red-faced, she channeled a bit of Sarah Silverman as she explained her read on the game, who the real wolves were, and why this newb village was about to blow it by mis-lynching her. I was absolutely convinced.
So was the village. Unanimously, they voted to let her live. And so she ate them.
We are looking for writers. If you are interested, please reach out to us on social media.
