So I was running my usual game a couple months ago, when during the course of normal rp'ing an NPC starts talking about his brother who was killed. It was a target the players had a contract on a few game sessions prior. Well one of the players thought that this guy knew they killed him, or suspected, so he promised to find the real killers and the team got totally side tracked attempting to find and frame another logical candidate for the murder... all in the hopes of covering tracks I didn't invision being there...
It was a great game, the players were acting like a CSI team, with the goal being obstruction of justice rather than actual justice. So what happens? Well the word gets out, that for a fee, these freelance detectives will look into crimes that lonestar isn't working very hard on. The team now gets requested to investigate all kinds of things, from corporate crimes that need covering up AND solving to murders in the barrens where lonestar doesn't go. Over the last couple months I've compiled a good amount of CSI-ish information, as well as skills the players can use, a few new spells and the toys/gadgets the team has "acquired" to do their job. I'm gota short list of things they can discover at a crime scene (maybe 200), so anyone who wants can put together a little 'mystery' solving mission. I'll go into more details once I get my website back up and running since tripod hasn't been letting me update and even set my site back nearly a year. It could be a while but I'll get it up as soon as I can, since I really think a lot of people will like this. In the mean time, what do you guys think of a CSI-ish campaign, maybe even a full blown Lonestar CSI game? What special hurdles would AR bring? How about magic? I've been doing it a while, I have a REALLY good list from actual running experience, but a fresh take on the subject could really help me out. |
