    This has hit the vibe of the Discworld universe sooooo well.
    1. One, two, three... many.
    2. Stupid dragons prone to exploding
    3. Complete lack of concern about the explosions
    4. Vimes being tired of everyone's shit
    5. The Zombie cop shot through the heart 3 days away from retirement
    6. Extremely EARNEST Igorina
    I love it so much

    After splitting up with your friends to cover more ground, you're wandering the halls of a long abandoned mansion on Titan alone when you stumble upon the study. The gentle 'swish-swish' of the portly caretaker's broom can be heard in the distance as you enter. On a desk and under a fancy lamp's light, you find a bloodstained letter. What is this? It's from your benefactor, Mister Quest. How could this be? He should be back on Earth! When you open it, it reads, "Don't be alone. The butler did it". A chill runs up your spine, why didn't anyone think it was weird for an abandoned mansion to have a butler? You step back and a loud fart startles you. Luckily, it was just a whoopie cushion. As you turn towards the door, you see the outline of a portly figure. What is that in his hands? Is that... a knife? Has the butler come to clean *You* up? Or are you on a MysteryQuest?

    A Hogswatch miracle! Thank you for this gift! Was just yesterday discussing with a friend how many Discworld screen adaptions (understandably) adapt the _plot_ of various Discworld novels, but completely lose the core things that we personally find enchanting about Pratchett's work... but I feel like Modiphius has expended a huge amount of effort to capture the delight of reading Sir Terry's writing; not just the story beats. And I trust you guys to do it justice, too 💛
