Info

This is a murder mystery for 8 players, where the names/pronouns can be changed programmatically for most of the characters.

For a compiled, playable game with PDFs using all the default character names, see the releases.

Customisation

To generate the game with your own character names and pronouns, complete the instructions below, in order. I recommend using your guests' actual names. That way, everyone just has to learn one set of names at the party.

1. Assign the characters to the actual people in character assign.txt.
2. Do all the replacements in the pronouns_and_replacments.txt. Use people's actual names to make things easier. There are some defaults in there which you can run to generate a working game.
3. Change the text in Newspaper.md to reflect the date and location (this is the invite)
4. Run generate_game.sh in bash.
5. The generated files are all in the _generated_game folder
6. (Optional) Run Character_assign.sh, which will create a file called Character assign Generated.txt with all the names of the participants

Requirements

Requires bash and pandoc (with Latex) for the scripts to run.
