I haven't played the games being discussed but I work as an investigator in real life and I've definitely learned that you never (or...

And to you too! I've just recently started a thread about Mythic Bastionland, which includes an account of how I generated my hex map...

The epistemic situation of an investigator isn't changed by the fact that there is an "external" truth. They have no access to that...

I'm between 99% and 100% sure that @Fenris-77 knows how Brindlewood Bay works. The point that he (and I) are making is that the players...

Sure, and you’ve got a different background than she does, but I’ve seen various people call out the sparseness of the book in handling...
