Davy Jones' Locker

Freeform Games have just published Davy Jones' Locker - their second game in as many months.

Here's the background information:

It is 1785, and the Caribbean is a hotbed of violence, treachery, the occult and, of course, piracy. Tortuga, an island off the north coast of Haiti, is home not only to peaceful plantations, but also to thieves, gypsies, scavengers, voodoo queens and grave robbers. Tortuga is also a pirate stronghold and a frequent port-of-call for the most feared pirates in the Caribbean.

Abel "Blackheart" Read, the Caribbean’s most nefarious pirate, had wrought havoc for many years throughout the region - but now his reign of terror is over. First, Blackheart and the Pegasus, his ship, was captured a month ago - and then two weeks ago Blackheart’s second-in-command, Calico Jack, ran his ship (the Orion) aground off Tortuga’s rocky north coast. With these two pirates (and their ships) out of business, the waters of the Caribbean are much safer.

They have also created a power vacuum in the pirate world - one that will no doubt be filled before too long.

Tonight, the Libra, a retired warship converted for commercial use, departs from Tortuga on its journey to St. Augustine, Florida. For some of its passengers, this will prove to be a profitable journey. For others, Tortuga may be the last dry land they ever see...

In Davy Jones’ Locker, the course of this fateful journey will be played out over the course of a single evening. There are, among the passengers and crew, an ex-pirate, a gypsy, and a nun. However, not everyone is who, or what, they seem. Some (well, all) of those on board have mysterious secrets and will do anything to prevent them from being revealed.

Stake & Chips

I've just learned about Stake & Chips - an online murder mystery project from VideoMajic, an amateur film-making group.

The game hasn't really started yet - at the moment the characters are being introducted. When it really gets going, however, you will be able to read the interviews and (I gather) influence the direction of the project.

A Squidoo lens on Death on the Gambia

I've just found a "lens" on Squidoo about Death on the Gambia, by Jay Shaffstall.

The review includes a few useful tips as well, so it's helpful as well.

Click here to check it out.

Jay has also created a lens on Curse of the Pharaoh and Way out West.

(I've done one on Murder Mystery Games in general.)

And that's about it - thanks for reading!
