Iโ€™m Sure Youโ€™re All Wondering Why Iโ€™ve Gathered You Here This Evening is a deadly inheritance game set in the mysterious mansion of a wealthy, deceased eccentric whom all the guests know somehow .

Players will explore the mansion, deduce charactersโ€™ secrets, vie with fellow guests to be the last one alive, or haunt their killers.

The premise is dark, but the game is more of a melodramatic, farcical play where over-acting is invited. Ham it up. Make grand sweeping gestures, gasp at revelations, and scream when something horrifying happens.

Content Warning: murder, PC betrayal, ghosts. We will use Lines & Veils to keep our play enjoyable for everyone.

System : Iโ€™m Sure Youโ€™re All Wondering Why Iโ€™ve Gathered You Here This Evening by Logan Jenkins. No experience necessary; rules will be taught.
Duration : ~3 hours (Iโ€™m allowing an extra half hour for feedback and discussion, although we will likely finish before then)
Breaks : ~10 minute breaks near the top of the first and second hours
Venue : StreamYard, playingcards.io
Recording : With prior consent of all players, I would like to record for personal reference. If we all agree after the session, I may consider posting to YouTube.
Attendance : All three seats are initially reserved for GFC Camp Starfleet II councilor and cadets: Jim Crocker, Rod Santos, and Vincent Eaton. Once participants have signed up, the wait list is available for general sign-ups. This game will be played using the Open Door Policy.
Safety : Lines & Veils, X-Card, Open Door Policy, The Gauntlet Community Code of Conduct
