An Exceedingly Awkward Dinner
Really, nothing dampens one's appetite like starting dinner with a debate over whether or not the servants should clear away the place at the head of the table set for the late Galumph. Assuming (quite reasonably) that the master of the house would be alive by the end of the day, the servants had laid the table with a place for him. After your reassuring sermon, one of the servants hurried in to rearrange matters, but they were interrupted by Frumious, who attempted to claim his father's place at the top of the table. But technically, Majorie's now the owner of Puddlestomp Hall...
Anyway, the upshot of it was that they left the place-setting for Galumph, and now there's an ominous empty chair at the head of the table, with Majorie facing off against her son-in-law Frumious, and Elspeth seated opposite her old college rival Momerath. It feels a little like a duel, and Elspeth finds herself making a pre-emptive grab for the butter-knife when they bring in the freshly baked rolls. Just in case Momerath arms himself first.
"You always were quick, Elspeth" snarks Momerath. "Always good at seizing opportunities." He leans over towards Majorie. "Did you know, Mrs. Puddlestomp, that your friend the vicar has been living something of a double life? Why she's - "
"Clarice Medlar!" declares Constable Hopscotch from the door. For a moment, Elspeth's frozen in terror at the thought of being exposed, but the constable continues. "I don't know how she does it!" He waves the copy of Death in the Dregs with enthusiasm. "Just when you think you see the solution, she throws in a surprise. Sorry I'm late, I started reading it again and before you know it, zap! I'm riveted!" Then he remembers that he's (a) supposed to be investigating a murder and (b) is sitting down for dinner with the bereaved family. His mood runs full-steam into an iceberg. "And, um, sorry for your loss." He sinks down.
In his book-waving enthusiasm, a piece of paper - that mysterious bookmark - fells from Death in the Dregs, and it's landed under the table between Elspeth and Momerath. Elspeth can feel Momerath's feet moving under the table, as if searching for the errant paper.
"What are the next steps, Constable?" asks Frumious. "If my father's death is the result of foul play, I want to see the culprit brought to justice as quickly as possible."
"So you can get his money," mutters Majorie into her soup course.
"That Polly girl was the last one to see my father alive," continues Frumious. "I'd consider her the prime suspect."
"We'll wait for Dr. Welldone's report. And I happen to know Polly," replies the Constable. "I can't imagine she'd do anything like that."
"Well, Constable," says Momerath, "If you're truly an aficionado of Medlar's work, you'd know that the person you suspect least is often responsib -"
There's a crash as Majorie's spoon falls from her hand, cracking the bowl and sending a red flood of tomato soup cascading across the white tablecloth. "I'm sorry," she says, "I can't, I just can't...."
"Maybe you should take Majorie back to her room, Vicar" suggests the Constable.
Majorie pushes back her seat and rises to stand, but nearly topples. Servants appear to help her, and one of them plucks Elspeth's arm. It's Polly.
"Cla - I, I mean, Vicar Gumfoot, I need to con - to talk to you. Please," she whispers.
And in the confusion, Elspeth spots the paper on the floor, with Momerath's toes inching towards it.
What do you do?
* Go with Majorie
* Go with Polly
* Grab the fallen paper

An Invitation
The sermon goes down like a cup of warm milk at bedtime, soothing jangled nerves and lending a sense of order and calm to a trying day. While Elspeth addresses the servants and staff of Puddlestomp House, the remains of old Galumph Puddlestomp are whisked away to the undertakers by Doctor Welldone. The constable remains upstairs, guarding the crime scene - although you hear the rustle of pages every few minutes, so he's probably just reread Death in the Dregs. As for your old college acquaintance, Momerath, you spot him eavesdropping on your sermon from the wings, with a sour look on his face. Reassurance and piety were never really in Momerath's wheelhouse, which is a poor showing for a vicar.
After the sermon, Majorie thanks Elspeth for her support. "Cook prepared such a lovely dinner for this evening, as Frumious and his friend were coming... and the doctor said I should eat something, to keep my strength up. Won't you join us for dinner?" Frumious and Momerath are already marching towards the dining room. It's clear that in the Puddlestomp household, grief is no obstacle to a hearty supper.
What does Elspeth do?
* Attend the dinner
* Make an excuse, and go off after Dr. Welldone
* Make an excuse, but hang around Puddlestomp Hall and eavesdrop

Playtesters Wanted for The Dreadful Hare
The call for playtesters is now open for The Dreadful Hare, the adventure anthology for Merryshire Detective Club.
We’re looking for Game Moderators with active groups who can run one of the scenarios and send us their feedback by September 30, 2026. Playtesters may be assigned anything from a pesky pooka curse or trouble at the circus to an unfortunate chapel impaling or a pie-shop theft that definitely won’t turn into anything worse.
You’ll receive the latest Merryshire Detective Club draft along with your assigned scenario. At this stage, we’re testing the scenarios rather than the core rules. If you finish early and want another mystery, we may even send you one.
If you’d like to take part, read the full call for playtesters and get in touch:

And now, to bed!
The campaign is at an end! We're funded more than twice over, and with nearly a thousand backers. I would thank you all individually, but there's a character limit on these posts, so I shall thank you generally: thank you!
Specific, personal thanks may be obtained in person at any convention or other happy occasion in which you and I are both in the same place.
Thanks also to the Pelgrane team - Cat, Ibrahim, Ken (not that Ken) and Robin (that Robin).
So, what's next? Well, there'll be some behind-the-scenes accounting and billing stuff as Backerkit collects pledges - if there are any problems there, contact [email protected]
I need to polish up the rulebook, finish my bit of The Dreadful Hare, and write the stretch goals.
Several of the Dreadful Hare scenarios will be going up for public playtesting in the very near future - if you'd like to get involved, keep an eye over at See Page XX.
The Elspeth Gumfoot story will continue here for a few more days on the campaign page until she's found the culprit behind the murder of Galumph Puddlestomp.
But you are equally welcome to sit back, relax, and do nothing but wait for the PDFs and, yea, the finished books to arrive in your inbox or mailbox as appropriate. We'll keep you informed of progress in updates here, where someone other than me will complain loudly about printers, as tradition dictates.
But, for right now, I raise a glass to you all! Thank you once again!

200% Funded!!!!
... is the sort of over-enthusiastic, over-hasty, and to be honest overly mathematical sort of thing they say up in Riddleton. Down here in the village, we just not approvingly and say "make mine a double there, barkeep".
But that is not to diminish our amazement and joy. We've hit twice the original goal, and unlocked free sticker sheets, the nature of which will shortly be determined through internal debate, and possibly pistols at dawn. One faction wants delightful and charming fripperies; another group still clings to functionality and mutters about ways stickers might be used in-game. We shall see which triumphs.
In the meantime, our next stretch goal is another Adventure Seed. Four hours and the vagaries of Overtime mode to go...

Old Ambiguities
A quick synopsis of what's gone before in our little play-by-post game.
Vicar, detective and secret murder mystery author Elspeth Gumfoot is investigating the death of Galumph Puddlestomp, local landowner. Galumph was already ill, but now he's been poisoned with strychnine that may have been added to his tea or his medicine. Possible suspects so far:
* Galumph's son Frumious, who was demanding money from his father - Elspeth found letters to that effect in Galumph's bedroom.
* Galumph's second wife Majorie, a friend of Elspeth
* Doctor Welldone
* Polly, the Maid
However, there's a complication or two at the crime scene - a copy of Elspeth's own book, Death in the Dregs, written under her pseudonym of Clarissa Medlar. This particular copy belonged to Constable Hopscotch.
Furthermore, there's an old acquaintance of Elspeth's also on site - Momerath Grable, another student of Themology, and it's his presence that's piqued Elspeth's interest. Sneaking downstairs and deploying her formidable skills at Gossip among the servants. Elspeth quickly learns from the coachman that Momerath arrived with Frumious. From the cook, she learns that Frumious was expected for dinner, and was bringing a guest.
A refreshing cup of tea in the kitchen also gives Elspeth a chance to think about Death in the Dregs. In that book, the poisoned wine was a gift from the local bishop, who murdered the victim to cover up financial misdealing. Elspeth knows she was flying a little close to the sun with that one - 'write what you know' is dangerous advice when you're a writer trying to stay anonymous. There was quite a bit of gossip in church circles about the true identify of 'Clarissa Medlar' after that book came out... and Elspeth's own appointment as vicar of Wooble-in-the-Wold is not wholly secure. If sufficient scandal attached itself to her name, she could be forced out - leaving her vicarage open to a replacement. Like, say, Momerath.
But all that could be paranoid egotism, or egotistical paranoia - maybe the presence of her book is a co-incidence, and the murder's nothing to do with her.
A shadow falls across her cup of tea.
"Vicar Gumfoot?"
It's Constable Hopscotch, turning his helmet over and over nervously in his hands.
"The doctor's taking Mr Galumph - his body, that is - away to the undertakers. Because it's so gruesomely twisted and such, with the strychnine poisoning" - like a gnarled branch, he adds, quoting Death in the Dregs - "we're not letting the servants see it being carrying out. So Mrs. Majorie's wondering if you'd say a few words, religious-like, just so there's a bit of ceremony and respectfulness and such."
So, what does Elspeth do?
* REASSURANCE: A nice little sermon full of reassuring cliches, calming frayed nerves
* THEMOLOGY: A highly technical and abstruse sermon aimed at testing Momerath to see if he's lying
* NOSINESS: A fire-and-brimstone sermon designed to intimidate any guilty parties into giving themselves away
* Or she could refuse Majorie's request and go follow the doctor...

Project Update: And now, to bed!
The campaign is at an end! We're funded more than twice over, and with nearly a thousand backers. I would thank you all individually, but there's a character limit on these posts, so I shall thank you generally: thank you!
Specific, personal thanks may be obtained in person at any convention or other happy occasion in which you and I are both in the same place.
Thanks also to the Pelgrane team - Cat, Ibrahim, Ken (not that Ken) and Robin (that Robin).
So, what's next? Well, there'll be some behind-the-scenes accounting and billing stuff as Backerkit collects pledges - if there are any problems there, contact [email protected]
I need to polish up the rulebook, finish my bit of The Dreadful Hare, and write the stretch goals.
Several of the Dreadful Hare scenarios will be going up for public playtesting in the very near future - if you'd like to get involved, keep an eye over at See Page XX.
The Elspeth Gumfoot story will continue here for a few more days on the campaign page until she's found the culprit behind the murder of Galumph Puddlestomp.
But you are equally welcome to sit back, relax, and do nothing but wait for the PDFs and, yea, the finished books to arrive in your inbox or mailbox as appropriate. We'll keep you informed of progress in updates here, where someone other than me will complain loudly about printers, as tradition dictates.
But, for right now, I raise a glass to you all! Thank you once again!
