In my experience, coincidences are rare. A clue, on the other hand, is always there — just waiting for someone to notice it.
Introduction#
The live game for 15 players will take place in Florence, from 10:00 to 19:30. Each participant will play an elderly lady, 75 years or older (yes, whatever your gender, you'll play a lady), one of the passionate members of the "Adamantine" book club, which meets monthly to discuss the latest intriguing novel from their favorite detective series, featuring Detective Ada C. Beufort.
The occasion is the book club's autumn outing to Lake Bilancino, planned for the entire afternoon. Something unexpected will put their investigative skills to the test. What would Ada do if she were with them?
Inspired by Brindlewood Bay (https://www.gauntlet-rpg.com/brindlewood-bay.html) and our beloved Angela, the inimitable Murder She Wrote detective.
Game experience#
The player experience will focus on playing characters who are 'ladies of a respectable age', with their ailments, eccentricities and difficulties, but free from all worldly obligations and responsibilities. The game will feature moments of lightness and comedy, but also tension and suspense.
The intent of the game is not to mock or ridicule elderly people, but to pay tribute to their particularities, their role in family and society, and the stories they have to tell. Each player is encouraged to play their character with respect and sensitivity, highlighting the qualities that make each club member unique.

If for any reason you feel uncomfortable with what is happening, use the safety words 'go easy' to invite other players to tone it down, and 'stop' to halt them. At any time feel free to step out of the game and approach an organizer.
