Hour of the knife modifications

Post by Shadowdragon »

This post contains spoilers for Hour of the Knife.


I really like the idea of a Ravenloft adventure inspired by Jack the Ripper, but I have some problems with Hour of the Knife. There doesn't seem to be any gradual progression of clues that allow the players to figure out who the bad guys are. Each bad guy seems to be revealed by a single clue that basically shouts "there's the bad guy". Inspector Logan's cloak (which actually shouldn't even be in his office considering it was planted in Dr. Arturus' house), and the letter on the fifth murder victim leading the party straight to Bloodhaven. Has anyone tried rewriting the adventure so it has a much smoother flow of clues? Maybe more clues that reveal Logan as a bad guy, and something a little more subtle than a letter that's basically a big arrow saying "this way to the murderer"? Is there another adventure that's similar to Hour of the Knife that I can use instead or just pillage for ideas?
