Several playbooks just seem to be either antagonists or whatever you call tricksters who humble the protagonists but don't actually try to stop them, rather inexplicably turned into protagonists.Ahhhh that makes more sense though also makes it a lot less interesting. Later seasons are often the least interesting ones in this genre (Supernatural fans will have a big fight about that lol).Yes I immediately ID'd the Gumshoe as Kolchak specifically because of the bizarre Paladin-esque deal he has going on, which is like, totally un-gumshoe-ish generally, but very Kolchak-ish specifically.And that's kind of representative of the need for revision imho, because it's like, every weirdo edge-case has an entire playbook with hyper-specific rules so you can play an exact character, but the more common and mainstream tropes of the genre don't have the same level of precision applied to them (though some do have more options).That'd be good, I think.Yeah that's what I've been looking at, the consolidated playbooks.</blockquote>
