Characters

Townsfolk

Balloonist
Each night, you learn 1 player of each character type, until there are no more types to learn. [+1 Outsider]
Dreamer
Each night, choose a player (not yourself or Travellers): you learn 1 good and 1 evil character, 1 of which is correct.

Each day, you may make a public statement. Tonight, if it was true, a player dies.

If you die at night, you are woken to choose a player: you learn their character.
