But I'm not just saying that, I set out to prove it.

I took surveys of all the three official Eureka modules that I know have been played a bunch at the time of writing this to see how frequently they’re solved vs going unsolved.

Meal scene art from Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy. Investigators have to eat occasionally to keep their Composure up, and this doubles as an opportunity for the investigators to group up and talk with each other and go over the information they have already gathered. anim-ttrpg.itch.io #ttrpgs

You might want to check out Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy for a game that does something very similar.

You can probably guess that most investigation is going to be happening during the day.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your perspective, they can carry too.

anyway the actual point i was going to make was about Monster Traits and how they are absurdly powerful in like one area but suffer really significant drawbacks. A clever vampire is a piss-yourself unstoppable nightmare person by night and indoors, but a feeble, trembling chihuahua by day.

A review for Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy. Some people seem to balk when they hear an investigation-focused game has combat. I think a lot of it has to do with D&D5e making players think combat has to be a slog. Eureka’s combat rules complement investigation by rewarding caution and planning.

but this just doesn’t apply to RPGs at all. RPGs rulebooks are all over the place in terms of formatting, they are often dense with art, and unlike a novel not all of their text is meant to be read straight through word-for-word.*

We’re used to using page count to denote the “length” of a book because of novels and nonfiction books which have relatively standardized formatting and density of words per page,

Now after the editing and overhauling, changelings are still shitty fairies, but their rules act as much more of a foil to fairies and fairy society, if such a thing even does really exist.

Changelings don’t follow the rules, they don’t know the rules.
