So we're off! The meat of the game is going to be working out the townsponies addresses and their jobs, the idea being to know where to strike when you're going to off somepony. While you can strike blindly if you really want, the more innocent ponies you kill the more dangerous things are going to get - your goal is to kill all the Town Leaders, who only number 12 out of a population of 32. The Lookout (for example) could be watching any one of the houses and if you're seen coming out bloody to the withers it's not going to go down well, so you want to remove her from the equation ASAP. The pressure is that every night you don't kill some unfortunate horse your sanity erodes, which means you risk discovery.

Sending Gummi out to discover a ponies job or home was originally a matter of a D20 roll in the background but I decide to make it a bit more personal - when you give him a job, you then consult your evil Tarot deck, as pictured. All the cards have a predetermined number from 1-20 so it's up to you to draw a high card for Gummi's success. Pick number 20 and it's a critical hit where he learns both their job and address in one blow!

This way seemed more interactive for the player, as well as introducing another creepy element to the game. It does mean I have to draw the face sides at some point, but that should be fun.

More to come.
