Welcome to the game; you are the Cameraman
ALIGNMENT: Town
GENERIC: Limited Watcher
WIN CONDITION: All Scum and malicious third-parties (if any) have been vanquished.
BACKGROUND:
You are an ordinary working stiff, tasked with recording as much raw footage as you can and passing it to a crack team of editors, who will assemble it into a reality show bearing only a vague resemblance to actual reality. Step 3: Profit!
Unfortunately, your crack of team of editors has regrettably declined to continue respiratory and circulatory activity. Your cell phone doesn't work and you're stuck here for the moment. Your situation, it must be said, is tenuous; a guy with a camera wandering around a haunted cabin in the woods is just begging for a cool first-person perspective throat-slashing scene. You saw Blair Witch, after all.
But if you keep your wits about you, you might just be all right. Except...
The book. The Necronomicon, ancient Book of the Dead, written in human blood and gateway to evil worlds far beyond what you had to endure filming Jersey Shore. The thought of the book fills you with unspeakable terror, and you believe that keeping careful track of the book might be the key to not just your own survival, but that of all the decent people (and reality TV contestants) assembled here.
Accordingly, you have set up your camera to watch over the book at all times. If someone should take it from its perch, you will know it.
Good luck!
POWERS:
1. Each Night, you will leave your camera trained on the common room; during each Day, you will view and edit the footage, paying special attention to any activity concerning the Necronomicon. At the end of each Day, if someone has taken the Book of the Dead from its public spot, you will learn who took it. You will also note whether anyone deliberately passes the book to another during the Night (please note that there may be methods by which the book may find a new owner that you will not be able to witness). What you do with this information is entirely up to you.
2. You live in superstitious terror of the Necronomicon. As such, you are not permitted to take it or have it in your possession at any time. Should it be given to you, you will immediately return it to the common area.
