Murder at the Greydog Inn

Continuum, 1st-4th August 2008

Running Twice - Saturday 9am-12noon and Sunday 9:30am-12:30pm

First run clashes with Best of the Wurst; Second run clashes with Diamond Geezers

The Greydog Inn is heaving. Couples flirt, warriors boast, merchants barter, Lunars and Orlanthi glower at each other over their mead. Just another typical night. But death walks the darkness, and foul murder is uncovered. The clan honour has been tarnished, and the guilty must be found before the killer strikes again...

"Murder at the Greydog Inn" is a 16 player, 3 hour freeform. Written by Graham Robinson, based on characters and setting from "Tales of the Reaching Moon #18 & #20".

Although "Murder" is set in Glorantha, no previous knowledge is assumed or needed to play. The casting questionnaire might be easier to fill in if you know that the Greydogs and Goodswords are fiercely independent, storm and earth worshipping barbarians; that they are currently ruled by the mighty Lunar Empire, who worship more civilised, complex gods; and that the Sundomers are Lunar allies, who follow a strict and paternalistic Solar diety.

As well as the 16 players, there's one extra character, who dies about 20 mins into the game. Afterwards, that character's player will help me GM the rest of the game. If you'd like to be my stooge, please drop me an e-mail (graham@albionsoft.com).
