By the way: Have you already gotten your character booklet 'The residents of Havstedt?'
It's a free PDF introducing the NPCs from Inspector Schmidt The Ebbing, giving you an overview of their quirks, motives and preferences. We also included space for personal notes, very handy if you play The Ebbing in Detective Mode with reduced hints in the quest log. Quite a few people did this in past streams with A Bavarian Tale! Get the character booklet here! Yours, The Active Fungus Team
