The SS Morro Castle was a luxury ship, making the three-day run between Havana and New York. She left Havana on September the 5th, 1934. On September 7th, with increasing rain, rising winds and rough seas, Captain Robert Willmott begged off from the traditional dinner at the Captain's table and had a steward bring a meal to his cabin. Hours later, he was found dead.
Early in the morning of September the 8th, a fire broke out and quickly swept through the ship. One hundred and thirty-seven passengers and crew lost their lives before the burned out hulk beached itself near Asbury Park, New Jersey.
This is all true. To this day, no one is certain what happened during the last voyage of the Morro Castle.
Let's find out.
1. Madwabbit -- Charles Darabont
2. Cthulhu's Librarian -- Stephen Lucas
3. John Crichton -- Mary Billings
4. The Universe -- James Billings
5. Queen Dopplepopolis -- Sister Lisa
6. Reveal -- Eduardo Martinez
Alts: Seonaid
(For those unfamiliar with Dread, check out Piratecat's game summary. It is an extremely rules-light game, with heavy emphasis on character interaction. Not everyone's cup of tea, but an absolute blast IMO for gameday events).
Dramatis Personae
1. James Billings, a businessman whose import/export interests take him to Cuba on a regular basis.
2. Mary Billings, accompanying her husband on his latest business trip.
3. Eduardo Martinez, a steward aboard the ship, responsible for the first-class passengers
4. Charles Darabont, former assistant to the American ambassador to Cuba
5. Stephan Lucas, an auditor for the Ward Line.
6. Sister Lisa, a Franciscan nun returning from missionary work in Cuba
First come, first served. Once all the characters are assigned, I'll send out the questionaires.
