Betrayal at House on the Hill: Game over!

[Nancy Drew 39]

Nancy, please choose your character!

Wait, let me post the stats.

What are my options?

Nm, will look at them later and decide.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I actually know something about herbs, so Anita maybe?

@Charles, do the characters have special abilities?

Oh and what do the stats signify?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Oh well in that case, how do we decide?

[Nancy Drew 39]

@Charles, what do the stats mean and how do they affect the characters?

[Nancy Drew 39]

I’ll take dibs on Anita. I’m getting Wednesday Addams’ vibes from her picture.

[Nancy Drew 39]

- Speed controls how many tiles you can move on your turn.
- Might controls combat, both attacking and defending.
- Knowledge and Sanity don't do anything specific (other than the general stuff above), unless something in-game says otherwise.

Switch to Oliver Swift in that case.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I don't have a strong opinion about this, but 5 is speaking to me.

Same.

VOTE: 5

[Nancy Drew 39]

Can anyone help advise me? I’m not really sure what to do.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Do you want to explore somewhere?

Sure, do I just choose a room? I played this ghosthunting game where we had different locations and maps but I have no idea where to go?

[Nancy Drew 39]

You can move up to your speed distance. Choose a direction.

to the basement? or do I have to go West maybe?

[Nancy Drew 39]

East go to Charred room

[Nancy Drew 39]

Sure, why not?

How do I get to the Observatory?

[Nancy Drew 39]

Move to Observatory, roll dice

[Nancy Drew 39]

Lose 2 knowledge, 1 sanity

[Nancy Drew 39]

Great game, thank you for playing everyone!

I don’t think my role really affected my play but then I pretty much had no clue what I was doing.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I really didn’t understand what I was doing. I think the being punished for failing to do attacks thing, majorly confused me.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Normally there are no direct consequences for failing to attack in this game; this particular Haunt was an exception.

This time around, I tried to stick pretty closely to the in-game text, except where doing so would make no sense in a forum-based environment. I'm always up for feedback on how I can better communicate information about the game to the players.

Well, because I was so extremely worried about receiving any damage, I pretty much ignored my actual role and didn’t try to look for the traitor. If we weren’t going to be punished for that, I would have paid more attention to trying to find the traitor. I would prefer to have the game more emphasize sleuthing > self-preservation which is what I was doing and that kind of took the fun out of it too some extent for me.

[Nancy Drew 39]

I'm just saying that this could have been clarified at any point via PMs instead of just being confused all game

???

I was in contact with both Farren and Charles so I don’t understand? *confuzzled*
