NO-TELL MOTEL finishes crowdfunding today!
No-Tell Motel ends crowdfunding today!
We hit the goal yesterday - that tremble you heard was me breathing a sigh of relief - and we're entering into extra-pay-for-the-team/potential stretch goal territory.
What's that stretch goal? An original soundtrack created by Dark Lofi beats producer Dated, which will be available on major streaming services for free. Check out his stuff here to get an idea.
Music is, obviously, pretty important to me, and a crucial piece of the storytelling experience. I hope we hit it.
If you're on this list and (somehow, incredibly) not familiar with what I'm talking about: No-Tell Motel is a single-player murder-mystery TTRPG. You play the clerk at an overnight motel, trying to find out which one of your guests is a murderer. It's a bit Clue and a bit, I dunno, Errol Morris's Tabloid. Yeah, that documentary everyone knows and loves! That one.
The twist? You can absolutely get it wrong, and that can have disastrous consequences for the falsely accused, the motel, and you. You can back it here.
As for how it actually plays: it's a bit like Solitaire. Check out my explainer here.
The face cards are your suspects - and your victim. Longtime collaborator Shawn McGuan is deep into developing the character art to accompany each. Check 'em out:
Layouts are in edits and Shawn's about halfway done with the card art. Once the crowdfunding campaign ends, I'll begin ordering the swag (the keychain, the "Dice Tray") and the book itself will come together rapidly.
We're almost there, friends. Regular programming will resume shortly.
