Also I feel that it gives a good starting point on the first day for conversation. I obviously based my suspicions on people's occupations on DAY 1 but other than that it's pretty much just fun and helps in creating death scenes.

Personally, I love the role-play side, and use it to convey and construct my arguments; but it can be applied a varying amount by different people, according to how much they enjoy it.

The role-play in this game worked pretty much as I intended it to, although there was probably too much mention made of extrinsic (ie non-village related) matters.

Unfortunately, I shall have to give the next game a miss as I will be away on business for much of the latter half of this month. Plus I need time to recover from the stress (and lack of sleep) induced by the last game.

Tgwbs - as far as I am concerned, you are welcome to moderate the next game.

I'd love to play again although I'm willing to sit out if we need room for new people.

I could be the local undertaker, but I'm a bit worried about the suspicion that will instantly be placed upon me .

As far as the letters or scribe I say simply Meh! If we want to impliment I have no problem with that but I don't think it's a big deal. I would like to possibly see the mason's be introduced though.

Note to self: never second-guess your first conclusions. I knew there were three quiet wolves....

drat drat drat!!!!

Well played indeed Oddwen. My hat, had it remained on my head before my neck snapped, would be off to you.

The wolves have won three times in a row! Congratulations Oddwen, Holbytlass & Shelob! A little drastic end for the Storyland but great game, everyone. I really enjoyed reading it

Count me in for this one. Just as advance warning, I'm taking this 8 hour long exam on June 18, so I won't be very active on the first day.

Allowing the seer to dream on the first night might give the first day's deliberations a little more direction. And I think it would help level the playing field for the villagers to have some information the first day since the werewolves already know who they are.

I'm a weaver.
