RogerBW runs his own murder mystery scenario, which had its first public outing at the 2018 YSDC Games Day. Session 01 - Do They Have Any Toffee?: Called out on a Saturday morning to a manor house in the Fen country, the great detective faces a distinctly strange challenge.

This time they find one. (Background effects provided by the Consumption Ward.)

“Violet Hu(gh)es.” Cute. Was that from Nick or Roger? ---

The PCs were actually created by someone else who posts here, whom I will not out unless they wish to speak up. (I changed one of the names to fit better with my conception of the character, but I didn’t spot anything odd about that one.) ---

Is that Roger’s own scenario, or Rogers own Murder? The latter would be a lot creepier! ---

I think it unlikely that I will die in a country house in 1926. ---

Almost a week for that gag, Nick. (Feel free to add your own “weak gag” comment) ---

Hmm… That whole brain-in-a-milk-churn business must be a red herring. After all, the scenario’s called “The _Fractured_ Mind”, not “The _Lactosed_ Mind”. ---

_\*So, uh, Roger… How come your guest bedroom is full of books on, ah…"_ “My collection of textbooks about serial killers, you mean? Oh, I just keep them there to make my guests feel welcome.” _\*…B-beg pardon?!"_ “Well, y’see, first I sorted through my ENTIRE book collection, and put all the LEAST upsetting and disturbing volumes in the spare bedroom.” _“…”_ “It works, it really does! Whenever I have visitors over who say they need a place to stay for a couple of weeks, they always leave after a single night - that’s how relaxing it is! They get a month’s rest in just a few hours, I’m sure!” ---

I was very good. I didn’t file the religious texts in with abnormal psychology. ---

I use Library of Congress for the nonfiction. It minimized the number of decisions required, and I’ve used LoC so much that I can readily find almost any topic on my shelves. ---

The standard in the UK is Dewey Decimal, but I’ve not had enough to do with it to make it come naturally. (Also, last time I looked there was no free version of the standard.) ---

I have a friend with a very large collection of books filed strictly by author. His bibles are under _Rabbenu, Moshe_. ---
