Psy*chic
The second game of my “one microRPG game a month” challenge (OMGAM).
I was inspired by the TV show Psych, but it’s really an homage to the whole genre of one hour sleuthing shows.
Shows built around likable, quirky people doing quirky things while solving mysteries, but always a bit odd and off-kilter, with a thick buffer of humor and absurdity to soften the blow of the murder.
- Dice pool resolution with tokens to add extra interest.
- Experiments with FATE-like Aspects (I should really read FATE one of these days).
- Heavy on the structure, with a Acts/Break model like the TV shows it mimics.
