About the adventure
Step inside Morrow Manor, a grand estate hosting an extravagant and delightfully unique event. Celebrating Quentin Delaveaux's 75th birthday, you have been invited to an evening of music, laughter, and unapologetically childish party games. Pass the Parcel. Musical Statues. Wink Murder ... But something has wormed it's way into the house, a darkness ready to twist the celebration into lethal danger. The games are about to have some very real and very deadly stakes. WINK MURDER AT MORROW MANOR is a horror-leaning, roleplay forward one-shot where the tone moves from playful to downright unhinged. Expect a mix of social intrigue, escalating challenges, and moments of sudden, brutal danger. Perfect for players who love mysteries, survival scenarios, and hobnobbing among the half-dead, panicking elite. Whether you confront the danger head-on, try to outplay the rules, or search desperately for a way out, one question lingers ... Do you want to play a game?

About me
Hello! I'm David Knight, storyteller, world builder, and Dungeon Master. With 10 years experience both playing and running long-form D&D campaigns, I love games that focus on the players' tragic backstories interwoven into juicy, lore-filled landscapes. You can hear me as Dungeon Master for the No Small Rolls podcast, where I've guided our troupe through 101 episodes of our first campaign, alongside shorter 4-6 episodes adventures, weaving intrigue, plot twists, and silliness. I love good head-scratching puzzles, social deductions, and rug-pulls that keep the players on the edge of their seats or taking big swings to overcome the challenges. I have the most fun when everyone at the table is so engaged in the story that I get to sit back and watch them have fun.

What David brings to the table
Expect a living, reactive, completely unique adventure that your characters can be immersed in with plenty of improvised chaos. Roleplay trumps Roll-play and whilst I try to run games by the rules, but they are not the focus and the Rule of Cool is always a winner!

How David creates a safe table
At the top of the session, we'll have a brief discussion of Lines and Veils for content topics that players do not wish to be included in the randomness. Not all the listed content warnings will appear in the game, however with the free-flow improv style of the game, there is always a possibility. Regardless of randomised chaos, any form of discrimination (homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, or other) or player abuse will not be tolerated at the table.
