HOW IT PLAYS
Three rounds across one autumn evening:
- Round 1 — The Wake (40 min). Meet the table. Share what you noticed.
- Round 2 — The Investigation (50 min). Search the rooms. Secrets leak.
- Round 3 — The Accusation (30 min). Name a killer. Vote. Hear the truth.
WHY THIS KIT
- System-agnostic — no rules to learn, no prep required
- D&D-flavored — halflings, dwarves, half-elves, gnomes
- Designed for grief and gossip as much as detection
- Every character has a secret — some deadly, some tender
