These are a set of homemade tokens that I made for the inside of my Grimoire. I made them by printing them on white matte 110 lb card stock paper and adhering them to a sheet of self adhesive felt to the other side. I recommend using gray self adhesive felt to contrast with the black felt in the grim.
I like to use rectangles, squares, and triangles when I make custom tokens due to their ease of cutting while crafting and to differentiate them from the official stock circle reminders.
VERY IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: None of these accessories are essential to enjoyment of this game.

This tool is a Pukka cheat sheet that fits in the Bad Moon Rising box and may could be mounted in the grim. This is a condensed summary of how the Pukka works to combat Storyteller confusion and anxiety when running the Pukka.

For use with the Spy and Widow. For best effect, show the Grim insides to the Spy or Widow and then place the arrown while they're looking at the book. Just to make sure they understand.
Yellow was selected because it stands out from purple as a complementary color.
It's impossible to get a "Hi-liter Yellow" level of visual "pop" from an inkjet printer, so I've put in a "yellow fill" and "no-fill" variant in the project folder for folks who want to color a token in with a highlighter.
To make sure the lines are clear, tint the paper with the hi-liter first, let it dry, and then print over. it.
I made a bit for this tool, pretend I'm a late night TV informercial announcer:
"Are you a first time Trouble Brewing player?
Did you draw the Spy?
Are you totally lost when you look at the Grim and see all of those tokens?
FEAR NOT! With the new GRIM PEEKER ARROW, you can immediately figure out where you are in the circle with a bright yellow arrow that stands out from the rest of the book.
The GRIM PEEKER ARROW has the word “YOU” written upside down and right side up, so no matter where the Spy token is in the Grim, you’ll immediately be able to see where you are and try to help your Demon.
Just print on card stock and attach to some sticky felt and you’re good to go.
The dimensions of this token are under 1.66” square, so it can easily fit inside of your retail edition Trouble Brewing token box."

These are wedge tokens meant to save room in the Grimoire. When I put together my Grim, I orient it with the Storyteller at the bottom at their entry point. these wedges flag gaps as "entrances" that enables me to squeeze the tokens together a little tighter and spatially locate players by their proximity to gaps in the circle.

This tool is meant to help the Storyteller remember if the day's Gossip was used and if it was true or false. The Storyteller keeps a reminder dot in the "Not Used" part of the square and may move the reminder tokens from "Not Used" to "Not Used" for fake Gossips. Once the actual Gossip acts, lock it in on a true or false and come back to it at night.

After botching multiple games with the Minstrel, I was determined to make a set of reminders to help run this role.
The triangle "CHECK" reminders go next to each Minion.
The square "REMINDER" should be placed next to the night order reminder sheet, since Minstrel is not on the night reminder sheet.
The large "MINSTREL DAY" rectangle goes into the middle of the player circle on the Grimoire as a reminder that day actions are rendered drunk until dusk.

Occasionally, I like to make new tokens for experimental roles. Typically the "How to Run" in the Blood on the Clocktower Wiki will disclose if a new role needs reminder tokens and how to use them.
Most of these have been brought into official existence by The Carousel

This is not an official TPI token. The printed promotional Widow only came with a "Poisoned" reminder token and not a "Call" token. This reminder Token was initially included in the Official BotC app and then taken out of the app to avoid confusion. I think it's a useful token, so I made one for myself.
UPDATE: In the latest printing of this token from The Carousel expansion, a "KNOW" reminder token is included that serves the same purpose.

In an X post on 2024.11.12, likely inspired by community recommendations, Steven Medway changed the the Cannibal "Died Today" reminder to "Lunch" and canonized "Faux Paw" as the reminder token text for Lycanthrope v2.
