A Hero’s Welcome
A celebrated adventurer has called his old companions together for an intimate dinner. Once, they were a band of heroes: fighting side by side, crossing distant lands, saving each other’s lives and collecting more than a few scars along the way. But time has taken them down different paths, and this reunion brings old friendships, rivalries, grudges and questions of trust back to the same table.
Then, before the night is over, the reunion becomes the scene of a murder. Everyone has a motive. Everyone is hiding something. And to uncover the truth, these former companions will have to decide how well they really know the people they once trusted with their lives.

More about the game
A Hero's Welcome and The Slayers’ Picnic is an original Jubensha game of scripted roleplay, mystery and social deduction.
