RPG Superstar 2010 Top 32

I found an article with some excellent advice on writing a mystery for an RPG group or in an RPG module. Hopefully it will help someone write the satisfying murder mystery Joshua Frost was looking for.

Last night I had an inspiration for what will (hopefully) sate Josh's hunger for a good murder mystery, in no small part because this post got me thinking about it again. If he likes my proposal once I get around to sending it in to him, I'll dedicate the scenario to you.

Excellent article. Great advice for a murder mystery, or to write more mysteriously!
