The Obra Dinn

The Obra Dinn is a puzzle like Leviathan script where most good players are incentivized to tell the truth, and those who want to lie are doing so for their own reasons. The Townsfolk give just a bit of information to point the good team in the right direction but will need to aggregate that information in order to construct the most likely worlds. The Outsiders mostly provide a few reasons for good players to lie. The Minions mostly provide social/mechanical misinformation.
Motivation: This is a Leviathan script I made mostly for myself. I do like playing Harold Holt's Revenge, but something that nags at me when I play HHR as a good player is the threat of a Damsel. I often feel like I can't just share my character/info and solve because it will expose the Damsel, and I have had a number of HHR games end in an unsatisfying way when a Damsel is outed. I also like Leviaxaan, but I wanted a Leviathan script without a King (personally not a fan of the jinx), Poppy Grower, Boffin, or Mezepheles.
It has been play tested a few times and people have enjoyed it!
(the script name is inspired by the puzzle game Return of the Obra Dinn)
