Hello! We host in person games of Blood on the Clocktower every Friday (and some other days), here in Belfast, UK. Please message us if you’d like to join in the fun.

An elderly man with white hair and glasses sits in a dimly lit, cluttered study, holding a newspaper titled "Fortunes Inside" and "The Ravenswood Teller." The newspaper features a printed illustration of a crystal ball on the left page and a raven on the right page.
A tall gothic Clocktower stands beneath a sky filled with drifting clouds glowing in warm shades of red, orange, and gold from the setting sun. The tower itself is cast mostly in cool indigo and navy shadow, with only the highest spires catching a faint golden glow. A thin band of violet light sits just above the horizon, separating the fiery sky from the darker landscape below. Tiny golden particles drift through the air, illuminated by the warm light. At the base of the tower, swirling blue mist wraps around the lower stone and the ground, which reflects a faint shimmer of the sky’s colours. Silhouettes of distant trees and spires are barely visible through the mist. The scene contrasts a warm, ember‑like sky with a cool, twilight‑blue tower and landscape.
A gothic Clocktower rises into a misty night sky, crowned by a huge ring of deep red rose petals that grow outward from its upper spires like a living coronet. Dark thorned vines wrap around the tower’s spires and weave through the petals. The clock face glows with a warm red light, and the tower’s windows emit the same crimson radiance. Hundreds of red rose petals drift gently downward through the air, some sharp and velvety, others softly blurred as they fall. A pale, cool mist surrounds the base of the tower, obscuring the lower structure and the landscape beyond. The scene contrasts rich red tones with cool blue‑grey fog, creating a romantic, surreal atmosphere.
The image depicts two contrasting brothers standing side-by-side inside a grand library. On the left, the "good" brother smiles warmly, wearing elegant beige and gold robes adorned with a tree-of-life brooch, holding a glowing magical book while surrounded by floating golden light orbs. On the right, the "evil" brother smirks with crossed arms, dressed in dark leather and metal armor, backed by a swirling aura of blue magical flames.
A gothic Clocktower rises dimly in a fog‑filled sky, its spires fading into mist while soft ash drifts downward like glowing snow. Below, a polished stone slab lies embedded in cracked, ashen ground scattered with faint orange embers. The slab reflects the Clocktower vividly — its reflection burns with ember‑red light, cracks of molten glow outlining the spires and clock face. Around the slab, broken mirror fragments are dusted with ash, but the central reflection remains whole and bright. The warm reflection contrasts with the cold, grey world above, creating a surreal, bittersweet atmosphere of memory and renewal.
A dark fantasy storm‑ritual scene centers on a blazing Clocktower surrounded by roaring red flames. The tower’s stone glows with molten cracks, its clock face burning gold at 11:10 as fiery light pours down its surface. Above, a vast crimson vortex churns in the sky, jagged red lightning splitting the clouds and bathing the landscape in violent light. Around the tower, a perfect circle of iron braziers leans inward, their flames bending toward the structure. In the foreground, a raised stone dais carved with glowing runes holds a sealed crimson tome bound in red leather and stamped with a heavy wax sigil. The cracked ground pulses with red fissures, and long shadows stretch outward from the ritual circle. Torn crimson banners whip in the storm winds, dust and debris swirling through the air. The scene glows with operatic intensity — mythic, thunderous, and charged with power.
A vast, surreal portal dominates a twilight landscape where science fiction, fantasy, and horror converge. The archway is built from carved stone etched with glowing runes, metallic ribs threaded with luminous circuitry, and smooth organic curves that pulse faintly. Inside the portal, the Clocktower stands as the clear focal point, flickering between three overlapping forms — a medieval stone tower with an 11:10 clock face, a sleek futuristic spire, and a skeletal ruin — all framed by swirling nebula light and glitch‑like distortions. The ground below blends cracked stone slabs, exposed metal conduits, and glowing crystalline formations, with mist curling around them. Floating runes and holographic shards drift through the air. The sky fades from deep violet to teal, scattered with stars, casting a cosmic glow over the scene. The tone is majestic, mysterious, and slightly ominous, evoking a perfect fusion of sci‑fi, fantasy, and horror.
A surreal fantasy illustration shows an enormous open book resting on an ink‑splattered surface. From its glowing center, swirling black ink rises and forms a tall Clocktower drawn in sketch‑like lines, with a large clock face showing 11:10, two pointed spires, and a full moon behind drifting clouds. Around the tower, circular portraits of Blood on the Clocktower characters float in the air — a raven, a nun, a hooded assassin, a red‑skinned demon, a ghostly figure, an elderly man with glasses, a jester, a skull, a half‑white half‑black mask, and a fortune teller holding a glowing crystal ball. An inkwell with a quill sits to the left of the book, and a tipped‑over ink bottle spills to the right. The palette blends cool blues and purples with warm golden light, creating a magical, dreamlike atmosphere.
Two silhouetted figures stand on opposite sides of a large puddle in a cobblestone village square at dusk. The left figure is lit in blue and the right figure in red, with their colours swapped in the puddle’s reflection. Around the puddle are paired objects: a red hat opposite a blue hat, a red‑ribbon scroll opposite a blue‑ribbon scroll, a red‑glass lantern opposite a blue‑glass lantern, and a red feather opposite a blue feather. All pairs appear colour‑swapped in the reflection. In the background, a tall Clocktower shows 6:00, its reflection subtly different in the water. The sky glows with warm orange fading into twilight blue, and birds fly overhead.
A Clocktower at night, in a town. The moon rises behind it.
