Caught in the rain

Caught in the rain is currently a work in progress. The document available here is likely to change (and already has significantly over the course of its development). Some elements of the game are missing, though these do not hinder the ability to play the game, such as genre-specific random tables, random obligation tables, and expanded text for clarity. All feedback is welcomed and appreciated :) .

What is this?

Caught in the rain is a solo roleplaying game which focuses on mystery-based narratives.

Your investigator will:

• sleuth their way through increasingly tense scenes
• find some level of solace in their obligations
• outmaneuver and best those that threaten the investigation
• uncover the truth of the mystery.

You will:

• weave a tense mystery narrative using the rules of Caught in the rain
• roll dice to determine the outcome of your investigator's actions
• draw cards from the clue deck to establish and strengthen your clues
• through process of elimination, guess the truth cards set aside at the start of the game.

What do I get?

• A 30-page .pdf complete with bookmarks and internal links.
• Rules that govern investigate, obligation, and rest scenes to support mystery narratives.
• Innovative use of playing cards to track a mystery for solo roleplaying.
• An extended example of play to supplement learning the rules.
