Out of Character Chat

A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the Times of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms Hotel. Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely injuring him in the process. It is the beginning of "Horror On The Orient Express" a European campaign set in the winter between January and March of 1923. Over the course of the campaign, the investigators are trying to collect the various pieces of an ancient statue called the Sedefkar Simulacrum. Night falls early then, and each night is long and cold. The campaign is made up of 11 scenarios, taking place in seven nations, the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Italy, The Kingdom of Serbs Croats and Slovenes, Bulgaria, and Turkey. All are stops on the path of the Simplon-Orient Express.

Great thank you. I think I’ve used Turkish and probably French already and will take Arabic. I’ll leave Italian to the opera-philes in the group.

We probably want to ration our languages so we don't share too many as well. The Orient Express goes through quite a few countries.

Please find the Milano-Handouts thread.
I remind you that the first handout was in the Orient Express, while travelling from Paris to Lausanne, when the group met Caterina Cavollaro.

By the way, I have been singing in opera choruses around the southeastern US off and on for 30 years or so, so it has been a lot of fun for me for the game to visit La Scala.

We're currently rehearsing Marriage of Figaro, and I met my wife while singing in this current one.

That’s awesome. It’s always interesting when a game coincides with real life. No pressure on the GM!
