Fluid Right Before Period

game review: Total Crime - The scent of murder

Saturday before a week in time for Halloween was a birthday party for George Singer, a successful perfume manufacturer instead. Well, George did not have much of it because he preferred to be killed before, the more fun it had the potential killer ...

What we also immediately entering into the case, "The scent of murder "would be set from the Mystery total. At the birthday party fall under respected father took George Alfred, his faithful wife Gabrielle, Company lawyer Dr. Sommerfeld and several other figures in part, which is now the day after the ceremony ended unhappily-to-do, arrive along with the inspector responsible for the case Karla Fischer, to expose the perpetrators.

Preparation
As for crime total games is customary to award the participating roles, and organizational preparation of the evening, by a game director - usually the one who has the game purchased online and wisely, the most experience in dealing have the detective role playing is. In our case, I was the lead player, but had up to hochlobende reviews from my fellow reviewers on Games Test no real knowledge, much less do their own experiences with crime role-playing, vorzuweisen ...

Why is this important? Well, because total mystery games usually need a little preparation. Each participant that one of the roles does (and not just simply sit and watch and his stomach will fully hit the buffet:-D), must receive its role description, not just the general all the information available to him and the other roles and to Gameplay includes, but also personal, relevant information has only his role he held until the beginning of the crime the evening to keep secret as far as possible (it would be fairly pointless, the murderer would check with the open Quicktime-ending game master about what he had observed as a murderer because: - /).

Fortunately, my Instructions were really all the necessary assistance in respect of all with the role allocation and the actual game night necessary preparations, including information on costumes, or to provide an evening meals. It is absolutely necessary that obviously, but as a role-play live from the atmospheric background, the harmonious design, one should not be too fussy here :-).

The actual game
met on game night after all Participants, a much-needed requirement, because missing even one case of the participating roles (specifically, the role of acquiring players), so the game can not be played. One should therefore be in advance to confirm the arrival, to minimize the risk of failure of the evening (yes emergencies can happen always) be kept to a minimum.

The game then proceeds in several rounds in which the inspector (or inspector) reads first the latest results of the investigation the police and then the players personal information to her or to other figures given (there are for each role with a small booklet the directions of each round). After it is then in each case a cheerful mix of suspects and minimization of the obtained information from the references,
because you really do not happen to be branded as a murderer of innocents. Should we, therefore, contribute strongly to possible to learn much, or is one that may be liable as an attempt by distracting ... or is it even the excessive Unbeteiligtsein that draws the suspicion of one? Difficult difficult, but incredibly fun ;-) ...
After 5 such rounds then follows the prosecution, so judging the questions of motive and murderer, before finally the case resolved. The assessment should take place simultaneously and secretly, so that no suspicions because of the recent "mathematical" pronounce (rather than combinatorial) a suspicion.

Conclusion

My goodness, we laughed that night, as we this, our first joint, have tried total crime. The wildest speculation and suspicion, intriguing surprises and mysterious events, everything was in place.
case and solution are in consistent and quite solvable by the participants, although it would certainly have been helpful if all participants had had a plan of the place, on which he would enter his advice it gives, and related thoughts.

Except for improvement of this little fact, the evening rocked really, all the guests were extremely enthusiastic, in short: The next Crime is totally case already ordered!
