DJJIB-DJDCT posted:Doesn’t GUMSHOE exist to fix that exact problem? Including a GUMSHOE call or cthulu? I think it came down to your score in something just giving you points you spend to automatically succeed at rolls. I’ve heard it has its own issues though. there’s actually a really fun game, Brindlewood Bay, that is meant to be played with little to no preplanning and everyone GM included goes in not knowing the solution to the mystery. the players gather up clues and at the end of the mystery will all decide on a solution then roll for it with bonuses based on how successful they were in the investigation. they can either get it totally right, mostly right with a twist the GM decides, or they get it wrong and the GM can decide the solution and the fallout from getting it wrong. it’s also got a cute theme. it’s a bunch of retired widowed women in a quaint New England town who all are in a mystery book club but also solve mysteries themselves. but it turns out something deeper and darker and lovecraftian is at play.

austin really is the epicenter, it's just that the epicenter of comedy rn is really, really bad. i've seen good shows but it's because i bought tickets way ahead of time and all the oversaturated clubs love tossing out free RSVP slots

I'd heard this whole Austin thing is Joe Rogan's personal project or something, and he's subsidizing it.
