Attractive Detectives [$5.00]

Attractive Detectives [$5.00]:

In Attractive Detectives, you play hot investigators tasked with solving mysteries in the Big City. Do your job, solve Cases and make your Rent - or go down living.

Attractive Detectives is recommended for 3-5 players, with another player taking on the role of BC (Big City) to facilitate the game together. You'll need some six-sided dice and coins to play.

In this simple 5-page document, you will find:

  • A quick and easy PbtA-inspired character creation process to make your very own Detective. Are you HOT or COLD? HARD or SOFT? Do you play FAIR or DIRTY?
  • Two sample Agencies to choose and play in the Big City. Dirty your hands as the Troubleshooters or fill up your monthly quota as Sponsored Hands.
  • Rules-lite system for actions and combat in Attractive Detectives, all using a simple pool of six-sided dice to resolve problems and situations.
  • Rules on how to use Pull! A fast way to spend your resources to get things done when you're on the Case. Call in favours, buy equipment, or turn an entire scene into your advantage immediately.
  • Resources designed to help fresh BCs and players start a game immediately with minimal experience. Generate random Cases and mysteries to solve by rolling dice, and look at the five core agendas on how to run great sessions.
  • Credits, Rent and Troubles. Earn cash from solving cases, help the Agency stay alive in the Big City, and generate complications on-the-fly during Cases.

MORE TO COME.

Attractive Detectives is currently being playtested. The game will launch at a lower price to reflect its current value, so get it early before updates roll in! In the future, more things will be added into the game, including:

  • A system to build your own Agency from the ground up, and more sample Agencies to choose from.
  • Factions in the Big City; Law, Crime, Elites, and Community. Pick a side and survive.
  • Character Sheets to help keep track of all your things in one place along with a list of sample starter character sheets and concepts to pick up and play immediately!
  • A system to perform group Actions and help each other.
  • Flaws; when your Detective passes out from taking too many Wounds, see what lasting injury or issue continues to inhibit them from the last scuffle. Dying is easy, living is harder.
  • Equipment list and bonuses with access to more vehicles, items and tools.
  • Metro Capital. A super cool starter Big City for players and BCs to use at the table for their very first game.
  • Looks and Apparel; a more complex, in-depth system of dressing up your Detective to be the hottest, hardest investigator on the block - and how it can affect your game and Actions.
  • Optional rule: Glasses.
