As the title says. I eventually want to run an impostor scenario/murder mystery in my World of Darkness game at some point, and would like some pointers.

Depends on the check.
Honestly, this is sort of exactly what I wanted out of asking this, thank you so much!
As the title says, I was wondering what'd make for good horror in the medium, and thought I'd try to ask here!
If I watch everything on a monitor via my computer, do I still need to pay a TV license fee or do I only need to play it if I want to use iPlayer? How does that all work? I definitely will not have an actual TV for a while.
That's for tuning into TV stations and iPlayer.
Technically not entirely new, but I'm hoping to introduce my group to Changeling: the Dreaming. It's a personal favourite system, and I think it's probably going to work better than D&D for what I personally want to run.
I've misread the at proto docs, and understood that it could have been a way to combine twitter with a feed reader, and honestly, that sounds like a good idea for a platform.
For he himself has said it, / And it's greatly to his credit, / That he is an Englishman!
Mint's a pretty nice distro, all things considered. The only one I'd turn my nose up against is Manjaro, mostly because of their leadership's reputation as clowns.
Changeling: the Dreaming fan here. Our system is better suited to the roleplay side of things, several sessions can go by without a single combat, and it's not the core focus of the system.
Honestly, I probably feel this more than this being the actual truth.

For a moment, I thought D&D had a streaming service, sounds like something they'd try.
Game: Mage: the Ascension, 20th Anniversary Edition
Time: Oneshot, Thursday, 4 April 2024, 19:00 (with option to join a regular group playing other games)
Type: Voice
Game Tech: Discord for voice, Roll20 for everything else
Capacity: 3/5
Join us for our very non-serious, April fools-themed oneshot, where a rouge chantry-turned-criminal gang attempts to steal a strain of Marijuana from a Technocracy base. The game takes place in 2008, in Cincinnati, starting out in a shared apartment above a Papa John's.
I have never ran mage before (I'm pranking myself, see?), nor have any of the existing players, we have no idea what we're doing, and I think most of us like it that way. You're free to join if you're a new player, most of us are.
ST Seeks Successor for Changeling: the Dreaming Game
- System: Changeling the Dreaming, 20th Anneversary Edition
- Time: 2PM EST
- Weekday: Friday
- Current Tech: Discord (Roll Bot) + Mr Gone's sheets.
Hi! I'm looking for a successor ST for my "Doofy Kids' Movie"-themed C20 game. The whole thing was meant as a oneshot, but I realised there could be potential in this sort of game, and decided to make it a reacurring game instead. Eventually, due to a tangled web of various descisions, I accidentally wound up making a player character. After about 5ish games, I realised I was simultaneously playing the role of both player, and Storyteller, and I've decided to try to focus on being the former, as I'd prefer to keep my priorities clean with running my other game well, rather than having two games and three roles to juggle plates with.
The game is notable for starting with a restriction for character creation in that only the Childling seeming is allowed. I wanted a game focussing on the sort of wacky hijinks one would see in media like The Goonies, or Spy Kids (my PC even started out as a stereotypical bully character, but everyone liked him too much).
I'll try my hardest to answer any questions you'll have about running this game, but rest assured, I've already got a foundation of characters and ideas you can draw from.
> "Something's not right with her, I can feel it, there's no way Ms. McDonald is putting all of the weird kids together... You-you think she's planning something?"
It's 2006. You're in elementary school, Detention, specifically, for whatever reason. The rest of the "weird kids" are in here with you. They all seem to have some kind of magic powers, too, and look like something out of a comic book, but only you and them can see them like that. You feel uncomfortable in this room for some reason, it's stifling, you feel like you should try to leave. The rest agree, but Ms McDonald is patrolling the halls, and she doesn't seem to like you very much.

So, yeah, this is a Changeling: the Dreaming oneshot, roughly in the style of something like the Goosebumps TV series without the horror, or a Robert Rodriguez kids' movie (Spy Kids, Shark Boy & Lava Girl), mixed in with a little bit of the gloomyness of the rest of the World of Darkness setting.
If you have never played Changeling: the Dreaming before, you play as different faerie "Kiths", like the shapeshifting Pooka, or industrious Boggan. The game itself, in comparison to other World of Darkness games (Vampire: the Masquerade, Werewolf: the Apocalypse) is a lot less focussed themewise, and has a general fantasy bent, which I feel makes it a perfect introduction to the WoD for those familiar with D&D.
Times
For this game, I am running 2 different games at 2 different times, you can sign up for both, or for either.
