This week, I'm doing something nobody else has ever done and writing a continuation of a revision of a system that was poorly "designed" by wizards of the coast
...
hang on

Intelligence Room
A meeting room for clandestined individuals sharing secrets and forbidden knowledge.

- Cost: 500 gp
- Size: 2
- Staff: 0 - 1 spymaster, 1 or more agents

Activities
While inside the room, you can assign your staff to perform the following activities:

Gather Intelligence.
You can send an agent to infiltrate a location to gather information on a person, place, or object. The agent travels from your bastion to the selected location and makes an Intelligence (Investigation) check with a DC determined on the risks involved, as shown in the table below.

Depending on the result, the spy will take differing amounts of time to do their work and what information they can retrieve... if they return at all.

What #indie #TTRPG did you buy for the killer art/premise but ended up loving for a brilliant mechanic you never saw coming?

Tell us the game and how that mechanic that blindsided you!

I tried writing a comedic Cenobite/Hellraiser game. It didn't work out. But I love the idea so much. So at least have a silly short story, Such Sights to Show You, about a new hire Cenobite.

Such Sights to Show You (Comedy-Horror Short Story)

Such Sights to Show You Brian Shipley’s apotheosis into a being of eternal, geometric torment was, on the whole, a rather tidy affair. The artisans of the flesh, for all their talk of chaos and the rending of souls, had been considerate enough to put down dust sheets. It was a small detail, but

Sell me on the ONE indie #TTRPG that is absolute best at creating messy, dramatic, player driven interpersonal conflict. The #tabletop equivalent of prestige TV drama.

What is it and why is it the reigning queen?
