I legit spent all day working on this cause I fully forgot Halloween was a thing until I woke up and what better day for some ShadyClaw! 💜🧡

was the snoop design inspired in any way by the cover of the dick mullen book from disco elysium?

More likely, the Dick Mullen book cover was inspired by the same thing that the snoop designs for Eureka were inspired by, which is the 1940s and 1950s caracture of a "shady guy" which intersects with the idea of like crime and espianage. The most common example you'll see today is the "neighborhood watch" sign.

Objectionable

(An Ace Attorney-inspired custom Trait for Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, an excellent indie tabletop RPG by the good folks over at @anim-ttrpgs)

Once per Scene, when this Investigator proves that another character is lying or hiding relevant information, they gain 1 Investigation Point and a +1 Contextual Bonus on subsequent Interpersonal rolls to uncover further details about that untruth. During these lines of questioning, if another character finds a flaw in their logic, the Investigator takes a Composure roll with a +1 modifier, and their Interpersonal Bonus ends. [1]

[1] Investigators with this Trait emulate the tactics of scrappy defense attorneys from a certain series of courtroom drama visual novels. By finding contradictory details in the stories of others, they can pull apart an entire testimony at the seams, but if they take too big of a logical leap and can’t back it up, they quickly lose confidence, momentum, and the trust of onlookers.

Each Investigator (player character) has 3-6 Traits which mechanically represent various aspects of their character.

More information about Eureka and its mechanics under the cut!

Eureka is among my favorite RPGs I've ever read, and certainly the best investigation-focused system I've seen. Its systems are deeply elegant, creating a game where players can piece together mysteries alongside their Investigators in a grounded world that still leaves space for supernatural intrigue. Combat is swift and strategic, but deadly if you go in without a plan. Investigations can be complex, but even the stickiest of situations don't require railroading to keep players on track. Mundane and supernatural characters alike have access to unique abilities, quirks, and skills that make each character feel distinct in mechanics as much as in flavor. The game interacts with the real world by way of fiction in a way that's refreshing and endlessly fascinating.

I absolutely recommend you give Eureka a shot, especially if you've been disappointed trying to run mystery stories in systems like D&D5e.

This trait, as is probably clear from the art and description, is heavily inspired by the gameplay of the Ace Attorney franchise, where you're expected to pull at the threads of a story until the truth falls into your lap, but where every further question is a risk. This is part of a broader trend in the rulebook where traits reference investigators from other mystery media, including Columbo, Sherlock Holmes, Jacques Clouseau, Kolchak, and the Scooby Gang (two links), among others.

The text of Objectionable references "Investigation Points", which are an abstract representation of how well an Investigator understands the mystery they're looking into. They can be traded in for "Eureka!" moments, which allow Investigators to retroactively learn information from a previously failed roll or increase their chances on a future roll. Getting a bonus point in this case encourages players to use this Trait whenever it's applicable, and represents the growing confidence of the Investigator as they get to the bottom of the other person's story.

It also refers to Composure, which is kind of like an emotional HP system – having low Composure reduces the possible skill bonuses an Investigator can receive on a roll, because if they're scared, tired, hungry, frustrated, or otherwise thrown off their game, they're less likely to succeed at what they try to do. In this case, the potential loss of composure references Ace Attorney characters getting flustered and embarrassed when the player chooses the wrong line of inquiry.

I'm not affiliated with ANIM (other than being acquainted with their team, since they're quite active within their online communities), but I really do suggest supporting them on Patreon and/or itch.io and/or Ko-Fi. On top of making Eureka, they also run a TTRPG Book Club server on Discord, which is excellent for finding RPGs to read and play and people to read and play them with, and they already have other projects planned after Eureka's full release. There's also a free beta version of Eureka available on their itch.io page, on top of the more frequent updates available on Patreon. Go check out cool artists!

Hey A-Train, you see my good friend Black Noir over there? Well Black Noir is really fucking allergic to peanuts so if you would quit wasting my time and stop eating shit around here I think my friend would be a whole lot happier. [he looks at nuts] I honestly don’t understand how you could do something so disrespectful and not expect me to put you in your place for it. [he knocks the peanuts bag out of his hand] This is the only time I’ll tell you this. Got it? [Classic rsmile]

For Shadow, this party was a chance to get people to join his cause on having equal co-existence between humans & Anima with vampires such as them.

For Noir, it was a chance to meet old friends, and maybe see if there was someone who could grab her heart since her love life had been rather static, in that there was no one else currently.

But in the crowds of many, she'd see her, Queenie, Noir had heard some things about her, like how she owned and ruled her own kingdom, similar to how Shadow ruled as the Emperor Vampire, meaning he was high authority and had his reasons for this event.

Making her way over, Noir would try to play it cool as she approached with a glass of blue vodka-pop in hand.

"So, you having fun? Cousin Shadow brought his best when it came to arranging this whole thing." Noir would ask, trying to be cool whilst hiding how her heart was fluttering a little for Queenie.

"Not Finished Yet," investigator Trait from Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy. Every investigator has 3 to 6 Traits!

[prpfz]

🕵️ Hello! 21M looking for a bit of an odd request for a niche fandom but, well, hopefully it catches someone’s eye

I’m hoping to RP LA Noire! Game has been out for almost 20 years and yet here I am wanting to RP it 🫣. For those of you who have no idea what the game is, a small summary: LA Noire tackles the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles in the 1940s playing as a detective

I’m hoping to write as Cole Phelps (although I’m also open to playing as either Stefan Bekowsky or Roy Earle) against either another canon of your choosing, or an OC. Male or female, I’m not biased!

Give me a criminal who Cole is solving the case on. Give be a taboo relationship between two male partners in a time when it’s not accepted. Give me a secretary who is a little TOO flirty. Give me undercover mafia. I’m open to any ideas so throw them my way

I ask that my partners are semi-lit+ and open to 🕊️ dead dove themes, as well as 18+ (for obvious reasons). I’d prefer realistic faceclaims for any OCs, I plan on this being as realistic to the time period as possible. I plan to write on Discord!

give a like and anon will get back to you

Sup! 21M

Looking for someone with an interest in dystopias, retro-cyberpunk, noir, or just wants to fuck around and make up dumb plots.

I wanna make a plot with a lot of worldbuilding generally centered about people trying to get by in a cruel world or a man with a shaddy past falling for a normal woman only to accidentally drag her into his problems, or about a cartoonish evil villan going against a stereotypical hero in a realistic setting

Like this post and i'll reach out! Bye~

Cat Noir fucking dies for being late.

[spiderman2-99]

Let me rephrase that. they have all the abilities (sticking to walls, webs, spider sense, strength) but they weren't bitten by a spider

Oh. My mistake.

That's a bit more murky. Some Spider-People were bitten but don't have the whole "standard powers", and others weren't bitten but do.

Then it depends on if they or their universe shows up on the Web Of Life.
