MURDER AT THE OCCIDENTAL
A Noir Willard Networks Whodunit Short-Story.
“The meaning is in the waiting.” - R. S. Thomas
The concept of this event is a completely unique story and investigation tailored by the players through roleplay. Each character will have motivations and reasons to be at the Lodge that will be discussed in a private forum conversation, giving the player the ultimate choice to enact these motivations if given enough reason from an in-character point of view. It is undecided who will be the killer(s), or the victim(s). Even the Detective could bite the bullet, knife, rope, blunt object, etc. The investigation(s) will be in an organic player-driven environment.
The World Renown Occidental Mountain Lodge is an exclusive getaway for the elite and rich individuals of the world, tucked away in the Colorado mountains. The year is 1952, it’s December 12th and the Occidental Mountain Lodge is in its slowest month in the year, not to mention the supposed blizzard that is to hit the region.
Our colourful cast of characters are all stuck together inside this Lodge due to some terrible weather. The phone line is down. The Lodge is on a backup generator.
Only a handful of guests and staff stay with the Occidental during the down-season of the harsh Winter.
