I don’t think it is as flexible as what I am working on. Which is fine, after all to get the best results we do need to travel every road! I heard the snippet on WWR 59 wherein Wes Franks talks about their new game... COME ON IN!

One option I heard today was a fill in the blank. ( referred to by the author as Mad Libs basically) Is a mad libs fill in the meat on the skeleton bones really the appropriate way to handle a detective creation myth? It might be, depending on how well the mad lib sheet is built.

I vote this is a tepid take. As well as you being not wrong.

One possible reward is for the player who comes up with the most interesting application of the resolution of a foil interaction gets some kind of a bonus, perhaps a +1-3 to their next roll, resulting in a building up of the characters abilities through challenging each other in a nonviolent way.

The nice thing about the foil system is that it will allow you to say: curses foiled again.

You could have games wherein players have a sliding scale of successes that they could sacrifice higher degrees successes on other investigations to make a different investigation succeed. Perhaps it’s part of the foil system for uncovering problems. Or a personal justice interpretation Application.

In order to make this system function, I think there’s a couple of interesting mechanics we could use in order to make sufficient rewards for doing a complex variety of options in the game system. One thought is to have a “win some, lose some” Sort of victory balancing effect going on.

It might look like exhaustion levels at certain points, Depending upon other system design choices. It doesn’t look like that in my homebrew Cyberpunk homage but that is the beauty of the system.

you could have the gage be a spoon gage as an alternative for mental energy. It’s similar but sufficiently different than a stress mechanism to my mind. Sometimes people need to expend fuel to get effects but this should put them at risk for not completing goals or making ‘critical’ mistakes.

very free floating system maybe put together by multiple skill rolls uncovering (geez I want to do more than roll 7d20 adding investigation bonus beating random tn’s to get through a game)
Since I brought up tug of war over a slider. Here is where I get into (gas) gages and (speedo)meters.

In many cases a deal is reached by plaintiff > foil > answer < foil < prosecutor. With this play loop it helps thinking tug of war over a slider of plaintiff impacts.
We have clues discussed in general, like everything in a standard TTRPG system the given play loops is a very free floating system

There are however many interesting side choices that can be RP worthy. If the case doesn’t have enough evidence a plea deal can be wrung out. But three parties have to be satisfied. Defendant, Prosecutor and Judge. We might be able to roll two of these three into a single role, but it is meh.

The conclusion should be laid out to someone even if it is another investigator (very uncommon). In Crime Drama typically this goes to court moves through the case and the criminal gets convicted before getting sentenced and then there is a few paragraphs after most of the Drama is done.

After probably two to three foils have faced against the layouts of the investigators it should eventually head over to the resolution/conclusion phase.
In some cases there may be an accident that looked like murder so that is the reason why conclusion is used rather than conviction.
