CASE SOLVED!
...OR IS IT?
Current version: 0.011
CASE SOLVED! gives you a series of rules and guidelines to carry out investigations in solo-roleplaying. To be precise, these rules have been adapted from those found in VISORPGZ+ Gold Edition by removing all the unneeded mentions to its mechanics. In this document, you'll find...
- Rules for sleuthing investigations, in a gritty, noir style. Or a cozy style, if that's what floats your boat.
- Rules for scholarly research. Yep, including unfathomable, Eldritch ones, if you want (heh, it's your funeral...or your ticket to the asylum).
- Rules for quick investigations, based on genius-level analysis skills, or on a bunch of people in a room throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

Updates & Errata
0.011 - There was a remnant of the original VISORPG system in the 'red herrings' section, mentioning a 'failure countdown box' concept. It has been replace by a system-agnostic alternative, which summarized can be explained as 'you can get out of a tight spot by hand-waving a solution, but you must kill one pending Clue and turn it into a red herring'.

I see that the Red Herring mechanic mention failure countdown box. How would you use this with systems without this mechanic?
ResponderEliminarOops, this is a remnant of the original system that I over-sighted! In any other system, this should be phrased like this: "If during your investigations you find yourself in a very tight spot, or have fumbled something that endangers the whole case, you can use this 'get out of jail' card (although it's not going to be free): you introduce some change that saves the situation, but in exchange you must kill ‘kill’ one of the pending Clues by turning it
ResponderEliminarinto a dead one...", and the rest remains unchanged. Thank you for pinpointing this mistake, I'm going to update the document ASAP with that correction.
Thanks for the clarification!
