Have you ever played the game Clue and thought 'I wish I was actually in the game!'
Have you ever been to a Murder Mystery Dinner Party?
Now is your chance... Put on your sleuthing hats and join us as 7* strangers come together just as a murder is committed.
You're trapped with this vile person (or persons) and must figure out who the killer is before you all die! Who's up for a mystery?
This is a forum-based Murder Mystery Party where 7* players will be accepted in, all with predetermined roles and character background information. There will be no original characters, just assigned roles that you will have to fill. After a secret ballot among players in the form of private messages directly to me, we will determine who would like the chance at being a killer and that role will be assigned to the willing.
For these murder mystery dinners, there are countless scripts online for how to play these with different themes and the like. If there is interest in playing this sort of game, I will create an IC thread and announce the first theme as soon as possible. Specific rules to each game will be explained once we get enough support to make an official game worth the effort of execution.
These games would reportedly take about 2 - 4 hours if performed in person, so I imagine the runtime will stretch out a bit more in text form. Regardless, there is a defined beginning and a defined end and this will not drag out indefinitely like a lot of other games.
Let me know if you're interested in this and I will start converting Murder Mystery scripts into a form that will translate to a message board. Thanks!
