That’s right you have been invited to one of Lord Ruston’s prestigious socials. Now you might be worrying about what that entails, well worry no more because this page holds all the information you should need.

• The What

Now what will the Party be like? Good question. I see it as a kinda potluck style cocktail/charcuterie party. Cheese boards, finger foods, wine and fancy drinks. That sort of thing. I trust all of you to bring awesome and delicious foods that we can all enjoy.

Second, the theme/style. For this particular get together the style in mind is a loose Jazz age style Think 1920-early 1940. Prohibition, bootlegging speakeasy’s, gangsters, Hollywood socialites, and art deco. As long as the outfit matches your character.

• The Where

• The Why

I’d like to answer that question with a question. Why not?

• The When

Saturday November 1st 2025 Doors Open at 7:00pm Game Starts at 7:30pm

• The How

Last but not least is how the game will play out. Any guest can be the killer, its up to you and your fellow guests to figure out who by process of elimination. Each guest will have two “connections” one positive one negative, two rumours about themselves an objective in the first act and one of two motives.

• The Connections: Each guest will have two connections, each with another guest. These will be small backstory relationships that you will be aware of. For example Bob our main guest has a good connection with Harry, and a bad connection with Sally. Harry knows Bob is a loyal friend and will drop everything for a friend in need. Sally knows that Bob has quite the temper and is quick to violence. Harry is aware of both these facts and who they are known by.

• The Rumours: Each guest will have two rumours about them given to other guests that they do not have a connection with. One rumour will be false and one will be true. The rumour that is true will be supported by one of the connections with that guest. For example lets revisit Bob. Rumour 1: Early last month Bob got into a fight outside a bar and put a young man in the hospital. Rumour 2: Late in the summer Bob received a large inheritance from a distant relative. The first rumour is true because it is supported by Sally’s connection with Bob.

• The Objectives: Each guest will have a different objective in the first act. These are simple tasks to act as an alibi or perhaps incriminate and help flesh out your characters motive.

• The Motives: Each guest has one of two simple reason for attending this social, other than having a good time that is. You are either hoping for a large favour from Lord Ruston or you are hoping for some of his vast wealth to help in these troublesome times. Those are the two motives you might have, money or a favour.

Now you might be thinking that’s a lot to remember but don’t worry I will send everyone a short page about their character closer to the night of the event. This stuff takes time.

Now at any point you have a question or maybe an idea you want to send my way let me know. I am happy to help.

Your gracious host
