A Will to Murder
by Mo Holkar
A Will to Murder is set in the 1930s in Albion House, a stately dwelling in the small English village of Highthorpe. Albion House belonged to Roy O'Leary – who was murdered yesterday afternoon.
Roy O'Leary was an elderly and wealthy man, and there are several family members who may benefit from his last will and testament. O'Leary's lawyer has asked the family to gather together at Albion House, the day after the murder, to hear the reading of the will. The police are also present – because the O'Leary family are the prime suspects in the murder case.
Everyone listens respectfully, as the Lawyer reads out the will. The main clause is very simple, as O'Leary must have had a premonition or warning of his dreadful end. The whole of Roy O'Leary's splendid fortune is left to whoever identifies his murderer!

All Rite on the Night
by Graham Harper, Mel Dymond Harper, Mo Holkar
The venerable Bassethwaite Occult Society is preparing to hold its traditional combination Annual General Meeting and Winter Solstice Rite.

However, perhaps this year will be a little different what with the influx of new members, the recent curious weather and a lunar eclipse predicted to coincide with the rite?

Time for Tea!
by Dream Cloutman-Green, Jon Cloutman-Green
In a future where the British Empire reigns supreme, tea provides moral fibre
and gives the Empire it's stiff upper lip that enables it to bring civilisation
to the far flung corners of the galaxy regardless of whether Johnny Foreigner
aliens want it or not.
The war on the edges of the Empire has been running for over 5 years now and the tea supply has been streached to breaking point. This has caused the price of tea within the rest of the empire to rise to the point where the possibility of riots have been politely suggested if extra tea is not provided soon. Imagine the horror when news reaches the government that the Empires largest tea freighter had been 'tea napped'!
It is essential for the future of the Empire that the tea is returned quickly and so a negotiation team has been sent to the nearest space station in order to ensure its return before the course of war turns irrevocably against the British! However is a Universe where foreigners, aliens, radical Beanists threaten to destroy the true leaf and infusiantistas have started to refute the benefits of the blessed caffine can the negotiations succeed and proper civilised luncheon carry on?
Join Evil Twin Inc for a game of Victorians in space with tea! Muffins to be provided.

Journey back to the Middle Ages, when superstition, ignorance and a robust approach to hygiene hold sway over the isolated community of Bassethwaite, gripped in unnatural winter and civil strife.

Nobles, tradesfolk, guildsmen and of course the omnipresent peasants throng the streets in protest or cower within, fearing the end of the world may be at hand. Will the deathly chill ever end? Will St Kevin intercede to protect his beloved people? Will Sir Humphrey return from the Crusades to depose the wicked Sheriff of Basset? Will the lake thaw in time for the villagers' annual Ferret Rolling? Find out all this and more, as you take the role of a character in Winter of Discontent. And may God have mercy on your soul…
