Click here, and you will probably thank me later.

Bow Street Runner is a murder investigation type game set in 18th century London. Think "CSI: 1750." There are currently four different cases to solve, and what looks like the beginning of a neat little story that unites them all. It has given me some interesting ideas about how to run a mystery game in the future, which is always a plus.

I'm going to stop describing it now, because you should basically quit listening to me and just try it out already.

I got to the fifth one and cursed quietly under my breath as I realized it wasn't out yet.  You're right, they're good.  REAL good.  Very educational too.
Thrice I've searched the forest of sanity, but have yet to find a single tree.

Belkar: We have a goal?
Roy: Sure, why do you think we're here?
Belkar: Well, I just figured we'd wander around, kill some sentient creatures because they had green skin and fangs and we don't, and then take their stuff.

This.  Game.  Is.  Awesome!

And it's given me a lot of inspiration.

Well, if SA likes it, I'll have to try it.

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

I agree I played the first one a while back and it was pretty cool.  Time did not permit me to continue at that time, however, and I hadn't found it again until now.

I just wish there was more leeway to make your own investigation.  Then again, it's educational, and they probably ain't aiming for Game of the Year.

Some time between the time you posted this and right now, the fifth episode was posted.

My suspicion about the identity of the vilest villain was confirmed, but my fiancee denies remembering that I brought up my theory as early as episode 2.  x.
