I've just played the new featured mystery -- the Green Specter -- and I was very disappointed. I don't want to spoil this for anyone else trying to play the case, but some of the alibis are messed up. With patience, you can sort them out but it's confusing and irritating. There is another problem with the case setup that makes it difficult to apply the correct solution -- again, I don't want to spoil it. Finally, I have to say that the entire case was too convoluted and contrived. Maybe the Sleuth crew are pushing a little too hard now and should take a little time with the next featured mystery. This is a great game; develop it with care!

By the way, the problem with the alibis not matching up is now fixed. That came from a communication problem between myself and the mystery author.

I have an idea. Dash, you should submit a featured mystery. They're not as easy to formulate as you think!

I never said that it was easy, Sunny -- I said I didn't want the game-masters to rush. We're all having a good time, relax a little on the featured mysteries!
Submitting a featured mystery is on my to-do list.
