It’s definitely still going to happen – hopefully – but the abrupt truncation of my house-to-myself holiday required me to prioritize what needed doing, and ‘prepping for a game’ took second fiddle to ‘putting the kids’ new desk, chairs, and table together.’ I will be contacting the folks who volunteered for the playtest early next week; I plan to have at least the framework for the adventure by then. Also, I expect that a portion of said playtest will involve a rough-and-ready generation of a cheat-sheet for new players.
This is the tentative blurb for the Washingcon game:
Danger-Prone Dani and the Dossier of Madness
Teen sleuths Dani Balasco and her Mystery Club have one prized possession: the collected casebook of their adventures in Torrance Cove. But somebody’s stolen the book from them! Why?
This family-friendly, relaxed adventure uses Evil Hat’s BubbleGUMSHOE teen sleuth RPG rules, and is designed for three to five players. Pre-generated characters and streamlined rules for play will be provided; experienced players welcome, but not required. If you’ve always wanted to be in your own Scooby-Doo episode, you will hopefully enjoy this game.
Damn, that is much better than the blurb I wrote for my games…
Jeepers!
And Jinkies!, too.
Don’t forget “Zoinks!”
