A mutual acquaintance of ours has passed, as the saying goes, Beyond the Veil. There is, I am furtherly Mournful to announce, some strangeness regarding the Manner, Situation, and Circumstance of the Death. Your presence is Therefore Requested at the C d B , with all possible speed, to aid in the resolution of this mystery...”
I Regret to Inform You, A Kith Has Been Slain is a supplement for Wanderhome, bringing whodunits, strange murders, and eerie mysteries in strange old houses to the land of Hæth. It includes:
- Two new playbooks (the INVESTIGATOR and the CORPSE)
- Six new natures (Lodge, Manor, Venue, Opening, Hotel, Train)
- Six new traits (Guilty, Toothless, Investigative, Cynical, Haunted, Hostile)
- And some general thoughts on how we can play mysteries well in Wanderhome.
I Regret to Inform You, A Kith Has Been Slain is words-only, for now, with no art and not that much layout work. That might be something I put in at some point, but for now it is what it is.

I am not a superfan of Wanderhome, that peaceful role-playing game whose sessions consist in rural romps (not that this is in the least a criticism: the game lacks a bit of adversity for my taste, but I understand very well the deserved success it has had). This little unofficial supplement could make up for what I miss, since it proposes to organize a murder mystery in the universe of Hæth, and my goodness, the two genres seem to marry surprisingly well! Besides this nice idea of marriage (which is already enough for a free supplement), the document proposes some inspiring places and especially the opportunity for a player to play the dead man through flashbacks and objects emotionally linked to him, which seems to me an excellent idea that I would like to steal to set up a similar atmosphere in another setting...
