After I ran a few games of Blood on the Clocktower, I encountered a few instances where I wished I could silently convey a little more nuance with night instructions, especially to help the newer players make good plays and decisions. So, I printed a few custom index cards to help with future games.
Some of my index cards became PocketMods.
These are meant to be printed on standard 3" x 5" index cards that I run through my inkjet printer. Sometimes, I need to use my finger as a spacer to make sure the printer collects them from the hopper.

I keep this tool to help me inventory my Grimoire.
Each edition is identified by pips on the character token and the reminder tokens (1x for TB, 2x for BMR, 3 for S&V, 4 or none for others).
For the base 3 scripts, it lists the count for "Demon / Minion / Outsider / Townsfolk / evil Reminder / Good reminders.
For Travelers & Fabled, it shows Life tokens / Dead votes / Travelers / Traveler reminders, Fabled, Fabled reminder.
The later boxes are for the "Kickstarter Edition" and the "Clocktower Con 2023" unique token sets.
The rest of the document is the grim inventory with my personal additions below the line of asterisks.

I made a unique index card for every released Traveler character, and one of my homebrew Travelers.
After printing each, I marked them with TB/BMR/SNV/E on the corner to confirm their edition.
These cards were made to be handed to Travelers to choose and Traveler players can keep them so they have a copy of their role in writing for the duration of their game.
This is been a very useful addition to my Grim Kit.

This is meant to be shown to players to draw the Butler during the first night phase. This role can be a little intimidating for new players, so I made an index card to encourage them to play.

Instead of using a scrap of paper for Mezepheles words and Yaggababble Phrases, I created index card "Stationary" for the phrases.
Write the words out with a Sharpie or permanent marker and you're all set!
This also makes the player experience a little more special since you can give them their phrase after the game.

This my own approach to running the "madness" mechanic condensed into written form. This is not a canonical TPI interpretation of the rule. It's how I've personally digested it and plan to run it. Consult the Almanac and other rules resources for specifics about Madness.
I made this as an exercise to get confident running the "madness" mechanic. It is not intended to be shared with players. I keep it for my recognizance so that I remember how to concisely explain why I decided to make a Storyteller decision on Madness.

This is a reminder card that I can show to an authorized Grimoire-peeker after they take a picture. There is nothing in the rules prohibiting the sharing of the photo. I think this is a sportsmanship and conduct norm that should be enforced to facilitate the Lunatic Outsider and other roles.
I've never pulled this out, but it's there just in case.
