As the title says. I eventually want to run an impostor scenario/murder mystery in my World of Darkness game at some point, and would like some pointers.

Ya I think he's said something about replacing that advice with node-based adventure design or something, but this article by itself has helped me improve tons of mystery scenarios by itself that I think the advice works as is.

Good point. Node based design works particularly well for mysteries.

I think the general suggestion for having lots of redundant clues is still relevant, regardless of how the GM plans the adventure.
