Title: Help with the Mystery Part of the Plot
Post by: Tenebrus on December 13, 2010, 05:41:16 PM

I'm a veteran gm and feel pretty comfortable with the system, but I could really use help developing the mystery/detective story part of the campaign.  I realize that they're easier to write it backwards from end to beginning but I'd love some pointers on putting together a solid mystery.  Thanks.

We talked about that some on Episode 36 (http://apap.libsyn.com/episode-36-the-dresden-files-rpg-it-s-a-mab-mab-mab-world) of Actual People, Actual Play.

That Forge link was fecking awesome.  I'd had some real problems getting mystery creation straight in my head, but that really cleared it up.  Brilliant.
