One issue 'Pinkamena' had was the only real way for players to keep track of their evidence was to read the diary or note it on a bit of paper. Originally there was a sort of scribble pad you could draw on. This was (sort of) OK, but I felt we needed something better.
So for Slaughter School, I've come up with tokens! As you get new evidence from your Snoop and Newshound and all the other goings-on, you can open this little drawer and take out a token with a role written on it. You can drag these and drop them on top of your suspects.
The benefit of this is that if your Snoop finds a girl is carrying blades around and suggests she could be either Violet or the Nurse, you can drop both tokens on top of the suspect to remind you of that until you manage to narrow it down.
You'll need this kind of help, because the Gholas are rather more clever than the Changelings were. Example, the Ghola Tease not only role blocks your girls now, but she also has a chance of working out (using her naughty feminine wiles) of which role the girl is. If she does, she reports it to the Ghola Thrall and if the role is considered a priority target by the Gholas, the Thrall may well decide to target her the next night!
This can work for you - if you know your Snoop (obviously a priority target for the bad guys) has been seduced, that means there is a chance she's next on the Thrall's hit-list and you can make your next move accordingly. Not always, though - the Gholas don't think very highly of the Tease, even if she is one of their own. There is a chance the Thrall will ignore information coming from such a lowly minion as a Tease. Nothing's for certain!
