 == Vanilla ITR ==
 Vanilla ITR is the most basic form of the game.
-Players are all citizens of Happyville, where everyone is happy all the time. Unfortunately, recently psychos have appeared in Happyville. Psychos are remorseless killers who can only be stopped by death, and it is the duty of every upstanding happy citizen to take them down. As such, daggers have been dipped in a potent truth serum and distributed to every citizen.

-Upon killing a potential psycho, happy citizens must ask for the victim's happy status.  Psychos may choose to ask, but are not required to.  If a happy person kills another happy person, the killer dies of remorse.

 == Vampires ==
-Psycho killers were an unpleasant experience for the citizens of Happyville, but it recently got worse. The psychos have become vampires.  Vampires may create "thralls" by tapping an unsuspecting victim on the neck or shoulders (in an area not covered by state, local, or federal law) with two fingers (as fangs).  That person now follows the orders of the last vampire to thrall them.  They and their master now win as a team.  Thralls are unhappy for the purposes of remorse, but should report their original status to the graveyard.  Thralls who were vampires continue to have the power to create thralls (and retain all their original thralls) but happy people who were thralled do not gain the ability to create thralls.
+Unhappy killers were an unpleasant experience for the citizens of Happyville, but it recently got worse.

 Thralls report directly to their last master- so if Alice thralls Bob, and Bob thralls Charlie, Charlie still reports to Bob (who in turn reports to Alice).  And if Eve thralls Charlie, Charlie still reports to Bob (and by extension Eve).

 * Paladin - The paladin can '''detect evil'''.  They may make eye contact with another player, wiggle their fingers in front of their nose, and ask another player if they are happy.  That player must answer truthfully.  This ability can be used twice.
 * Wizard - The wizard can cast '''magic missile'''.  They may look another player in the eyes and say "Abracastabra."  That player dies immediately and the wizard does not evaluate remorse.  This ability can be used once (or possibly twice, I forget).

+* Ranger - A ranger can '''dual wield''', gaining two daggers.  They have also studied the art of '''knife throwing''', allowing them to kill with a thrown knife.  They must still evaluate remorse.
 * Rogue - The rogue can '''backstab''' players by stabbing them in the back (while behind that player) and saying "backstab".  The rogue may choose not to ask the backstabbed player if they are happy.  If they do ask, the rogue must evaluate remorse (if relevant).
 * Sorcerer - The sorcerer can '''stun''' once and '''heal''' once.
-* Barbarian - The barbarian is '''illiterate''' and did not read the rules.  They are immune to abilities (and should announce that they are a barbarian if they are targeted).  They can still be stabbed by a ranger's second dagger and an animal companion's dagger (they know what daggers are, after all), but are immune to '''heal''', '''stun''', '''detect evil''', and '''magic missile'''.  They are also immune to palm attacks, making barbarian / monk duels hilarious to watch.
