Welcome to QF65! This game is a rerun of @Herowannabe's QF33 Deception: Murder in the Cosmere, and like that game, is very different from other SE games, so make sure to read the rules carefully. Somewhere in the Cosmere, a murder has taken place, and it's up to (most of) you to solve it before the murderer gets away. An abundance of suspicious objects have been located at the scene of the crime, and the players must identify both the "Method of Murder" as well as the "Key Evidence". Complicating things is that the Assassin and possibly some of their Co-conspirators have infiltrated your numbers, and will try their best to foil your efforts to solve the mystery. However, two things may come to your aid. The first is the Oracle, a powerful being that knows all the details of the crime, but is limited in it's ability to communicate. Additionally, one of the Investigators may also be a Witness to the killing, able to identify all of the conspirators so long as you can keep their identity hidden. The complete rules can be found in doc form here, or in the spoilers below: And here is a schedule of events (the listed day is when that cycle starts): Signups will close at 5:00PM EST on Thursday the 16th, and the game will start shortly afterwards. In addition, since this game runs rather quickly, if there is interest I will run it a second time shortly after the first round ends. If you don't think you have the bandwidth to play as the Witness/Assassin/Co-conspirator, let me know in a PM or through Discord and I'll take that into consideration when building the distribution (no promises though). @Devotary of Spontaneity will be the IM for this game. Here is a link to the spreadsheet I will be using to run the game. Player List: Quick Links: Pinch Hitters:

Eban Naworeh looked over his tiny shop. In his 82 years serving as Silverlight's chief Oracle, he had acquired a good number of knick-knacks, trinkets, baubles, potions, relics, and other curiosities- and each one of them served an important function. He moved slowly through the shop, repositioning an item here, dusting off another there. When he was satisfied, he touched an etched panel on the wall, dimming the lights, and moved to the bedroom. He removed his slippers, donned his sleeping cap, and climbed under the covers. His head had scarcely hit the pillow before images and impressions flooded his mind. This was no ordinary dream- decades of service as an Oracle had taught him the difference between regular dreams and visions. This one came mostly in the form of emotions and flashes of color. Animosity and malicious intentions. A concocted plot. Indistinct silhouettes, moving against a bright background. Surprise and shock. The color crimson. A flash of pain. Death. Eban's eyes snapped open. He sat up in bed and shook his head, trying to make sense of the images and sensations still rattling around inside his skull, but they refused to take shape. Of one thing, however, Eban was certain: Somewhere, somehow, somebody had just been murdered. And they had to find and catch the murderer before it was too late. Welcome to QF33 - Deception, Murder in the Cosmere! This game is a little bit different from your regular SE game. Okay, it's very different. It is based on the game “Deception: Murder in Hong Kong” by Grey Fox Games, but with a Cosmere-flare. The gist of it is this: Somewhere within the Cosmere, a grisly murder has taken place. You and your fellow Investigators arrive at the scene of the crime to discover that the Assassin has left important clues. From among the suspicious objects scattered around, you must deduce the “Methods of Murder” and identify the “Key Evidence” in order to catch and convict the killer. As if solving a murder wasn’t tricky enough, this one is complicated by the fact that one of your fellow Investigators is the Assassin! While the Oracle gives the Investigators clues on what to look for, the Assassin attempts to sow confusion and doubt in order to cover their dark deed. Furthermore, the Assassin may have one or more Co-conspirators trying to cover their escape, but the Investigators may find aid in the form of a Witness who can identify the criminals and help bring them to Justice! The full rules for this game can be found here. Please read through them thoroughly, as again this is different from anything else we have done in SE, and if anything is unclear please ask questions! While sign ups are open I will be making a spreadsheet that will be used to run the game and will be open to the public. When it's ready I will edit the link in here, but in the meantime here is a link to the spreadsheet with all the "cards" and "tiles" that will be used in the game. Sign-ups are now open, and will run until the countdown timer below runs down. Quick Links:
