Version 0.8 available


Hi all,

I'm back working on Caught in the Rain again, my solo mystery rpg! Version 0.8 is available to download :) .

Here's a list of the main changes:

  • Investigate scenes have 2 mandatory stages instead of 4, but a new inspect roll or the presence of threats may introduce new stages to be completed.
  • Replaced the 'progress the investigate scene' keyword action with 'gain a clue'. This new action requires 3 keywords instead of just 1.
  • Reduced the fatigue track from 10 to 5, and subsequently adjusted the consequences table and neglected obligation outcomes.
  • Added in an additional random table at the back.

Now, the text is mostly unedited so there are a few spelling mistakes and such, but very playable and relatively easy to learn the game.

Here's what's coming up in the next 2 versions:

  • Reintroduce the campaign rules adapted for the new ruleset.
  • A plethora of random tables to support play (obligations, keywords, clues, threats, etc).
  • Genre-specific tables for all the relevant tables to support play in a fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc genres.
  • Expanded text with more examples and advice for running the game.
  • An actual investigator sheet to help manage the game.
