The week before a MortalCase party is where guests decide how much they'll join in, and most of that is settled by 3 messages. Here's what belongs in the invitation, what to say when the Character Guides go out, and what to keep out of the group chat. You'll also get the 5 lines that work as pre-party messages, and a last reminder that gets everyone through the door on time, with nothing new to prepare.
Player numbers are the thing MortalCase hosts get stuck on, usually because the answer arrives in pieces. This is all of it in one place: what a game needs before it can run at all, and how much slack you have once it can. You'll come out knowing how many invitations to send, how firm they need to be, and what to do when your count changes 2 days before the party.
Cast by personality and the story can land on the guest least likely to turn up. Reliability decides who carries the 8 required Primary Characters; comfort decides the rest. Here's the casting method that survives a cancellation 2 days before the party, keeps a quiet guest from being demoted to an optional role, and stops private character material from landing in a shared folder. It ends with the record you keep so the swap you make on Friday still works on Saturday.
The purchase of a MortalCase murder mystery game or prop grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use the game for personal, non-commercial purposes. Any other use of the game or prop, including but not limited to public performance or distribution, is strictly prohibited.
