Nice video for readers and writers alike. I'm cramming for a game of Call of Cthulhu, so I'm not sure how this might apply to the players/investigators. I'm just having a good time learning how to create mystery and suspense. BTW, when you mentioned Magnum PI matching wits with Miss Marple, I assume you were talking about the Tom Selleck era 😎.
Absolutely. I keep forgetting that there is a new version of Magnum. I have seen the first season of the new show and I respect that it is doing it’s own thing while also staying true to the spirit of the original show. But still for me Tom Selleck will always be Magnum. I also wish you the best of luck on your Call of Cthulhu RP. I have DMed D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2 with a focus on character study and social encounters, but running a story with strong mystery elements is both thrilling and challenging. Even though this is not an original tip, the best advice I received was to have an NPC tag along with the player characters so that if they get stumped then the NPC can help point them in the right direction. I have been doing research for another video on mystery writing, this one focusing on how to hide plot points and clues in plain sight. Maybe it will be of some help when I finally get it recorded and uploaded.
@@TheArtfulNarrator Thanks for the tip. I'm looking forward to the video. My mom met Tom Selleck at our xc ski resort many years ago. She said he was a really nice guy.
I honestly have no clue what to call this video's subject. My skills as an internet Spin Master, Content Creatoring Hyper Generator, Click Catcher, are clearly nonexistent. But what else is new since I am not trying to generate hype or spin anything. Wikipedia calls it "Audience superior position" but even I did not know what that meant before I researched this literary theory and stumbled across that name. I was going to call it the "Equality or Bias of Audience information in Mystery" But that is long enough to make the "Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division." sound concise and catchy. If you have suggestions I am certainly eager to hear them.
Jump to 9:00 to avoid spoilers.
Thank you very much : ) that makes it much easier.
