ABILITY:
All players know you are the Shogun. Minions & Demons do not know each other. Each day, publicly choose a player: they die. If you are executed while Minions live, your team wins. [No Outsiders]
STORYTELLER NOTES:
Outsiders can still be added to the game with characters such as the Xaan, Godfather or Balloonist.
This character uses a lot of jinxes, so be cognisant of them, and remind players about them prior to the game's commencement.
Consider putting a number of powerful information roles on scripts with the Shogun, as there are far less chances to find and kill evil players.
The Shogun is known to everyone and will take everyone down with him, unless his hidden Minions are killed.
Playing as the Shogun
This is the most outed evil a player can be, so enjoy it. Normally being outed as evil is unhelpful, but given that Minions and Demons do not know each other, players will come to you to curry favour and convince you that they are worth keeping around. Use town's information against them, as their accusations will lead you to your evil team, and see if their stories check out before you brutally kill someone during the day.
Given that you kill during the day, you may opt to forego your ability on Day 1 so that you don't inadvertently kill a Minion, but perhaps not? The odds of killing a good player are never better, so you may consider going for broke.
Importantly, while Minions are expendable, they are also your only line of defense. Convincing town that your Minions yet live is the only thing keeping them from turning on you, so frame others, be loud, and direct traffic as much as possible.
Example
Alex is the Shogun. He is immediately announced to town, and over the coming days, with 5 players remaining, town is convinced that all Minions are dead. They execute Alex that day, but the Poisoner still lives. Alex's team wins.
Fighting the Shogun
Remember that roles like the Chef, Town Crier and Empath that locate evil players, or Minions in general, can be harmful to town, as it outs the evil team to the Shogun, or even creates frames the Shogun can lean on to convince town to kill otherwise good players. Keeping information relatively discrete and perhaps even lying about your information might be useful, but finding a balance is essential.
Remember that the Shogun will inevitably kill in final 3, so if you find yourself on the penultimate day, know that you will need to chance it and go for the Shogun!
Example
Peter is the General who learns, after several days of evil winning, that the game is now neutral. He chooses to out that evil is still winning to keep a dead Minion hidden. On the day that he learns that good is winning, he correctly discerns that all Minions are dead.
Jinxes
Scarlet Woman: The Scarlet Woman cannot become the Demon. Instead, the Scarlet Woman instead gains the ability of the first Minion to die.
Goblin: The Goblin's ability no longer ends the game. Instead, if the Goblin's ability would trigger, they may immediately choose a player: they die.
Mastermind: If a Mastermind's ability would trigger, players must execute a living player that day. If that player is good, evil wins.
Spy: The Shogun learns who the Spy is. The Spy does not see the Grimoire, but instead learns which Minions are in play.
Widow: The Widow learns who the Shogun is. The Widow does not see the Grimoire, but instead learns which Minions are in play.
Boomdandy: If the Boomdandy's ability would trigger, the Shogun must die. Good wins if a Minion is chosen. If the Boomdandy is the only living Minion, the Boomdandy's ability does not trigger.
Slayer: The Slayer can use their ability on Minions.
Record Keeper: If the Record Keeper is executed, the Shogun does not see the Grimoire: they instead learn who their Minions are.
Poppy Grower: The Shogun does not receive bluffs. If the Poppy Grower dies, the Shogun and Minions instead learn players who are dead Minions.
Magician: The Magician is also announced as the Shogun. The Shogun must tell the Storyteller who they are killing privately.
Lunatic: The Lunatic is also announced as the Shogun. If they target a Minion with their ability, that Minion might die. If they target the Shogun with their ability, their team loses.
Mayor: If the Mayor is killed by the Demon when 3 players live, the Mayor's team wins.
