Inquisitives

You play a noir, fantasy PI (Private Inquisitive)
Liars, cheats, blackmailers, and double-crossers
Your clientele and investigation targets alike
With huge debts to pay, you can’t afford to be picky
Best hope your luck holds out

Mykinae, the City of Spires
Floating marble towers and underground slums
Too big to fail, or to function
It’s beating heart: factories pumping out magical tech
From metallic androids to enchanted cutlery
Karandahl Corp forges produce it all

Inquisitives is a TTRPG for a GM and 1-5 players, created for One-Page RPG Jam 2023 and its theme of “Rumours and Secrets”.  It is inspired by The Big Sleep and The High Window by Raymond Chanlder and the world of Eberron.  All you need to play is the game, six-sided dice (preferably 3-5), some paper, and a pencil.
