Description
Every night at the Stellar Motel is a menagerie of the human condition, and you watch it all from your vantage point behind a desk and some plexiglass. Last night was different: someone was murdered, and no one seems much interested in finding out who did it or why.
No-Tell Motel is a mystery-solving, world building, relationship web game for one. As an overnight clerk, you’ve got eyes on everyone’s business. You know the Stellar Motel’s regulars and the shenanigans they get up to. You’re familiar with their tastes, their personalities, and their weird demands. And you love speculating on the ways in which their lives intersect. You’re pretty used to petty crime, passion, drama, and shady deals but… murder? That’s, shockingly, a new one.
Game includes 16 delightfully sketchy NPCs to meet, information about their motivations and secrets, and a prologue/epilogue system to generate victims and consequences. A standard poker deck and a six-sided die generate the world of the Stellar Motel – its guests, their activities, their connections, and their motives for murder.
Use what you know about your guests to build your case. You might be sure, but will you be right?
- Requires a deck of playing cards, one d6 die, and a way to record events and findings
- Â 32 pages, 6.625″ x 10.25″ B&W zine
