Sol Provision’s annual Murder Mystery 2955 is here—spoiler-safe, recorded Dec 11, 2025 aboard the Aegis Idris Azrael with 24 org members.
Expect live comms, emergent moments, and full-org gameplay: armories, hangar bay staging, and the “you had to be there” energy of running a capital ship crew together in Nyx’s Glaciem Ring.
