Well written and interesting! I love the well-described NPCs, and interactivity looks like it will be fun. This is something that will land on my table, in full or in part.

Appreciate the compliment! And if you end up running it, I'd love to know how it went :D

Nothing beats good old Murder on the Orient Express vibes! I Like it.

Great work! After reading it, I wanted to run it! It’s an old trope but with refreshing twists. The NPCs and the villain are interesting and unique. I can see how the provided material can prompt great interactivity and fun at the table. Respect!

I hope I find some time for it in the not-too-distant future. I will notify you how it went for sure!

Yes! A murder mystery on a ship! A classic idea that is typically not attempted in RPG adventures. This adventure has a ton of potential for fun at the table. There are multiple roll tables, interesting NPCs, and a large ship to traverse that creates an excellent whodunit scenario. Want to run a Hercule_Poirot / Agatha Christie style adventure?  This is it!

Yeah, it was hard to fit onto 8 pages, but I had just watched Last Voyage of the Demeter and am listening to The Count of Monty Cristo, so when I read Spotted Satan, I immediately knew what I wanted to write! :D

So glad you liked it. :)

Wow, this is an incredibly tightly written and presented whodunnit on a pirate ship. Super awesome. All the tables and characters are great. The nightly events are all awesome for ramping up tension. Love it!

Developer

So glad you like it! :D 

It was a blast to write too.
