They are all part of the case. In many respects the investigation is more fixed, more detailed because it’s the part that usually has more evidence. Officers involved can be interviewed etc. it’s the part we can more readily see. There is a difference between a roleplaying game that replicates life at Tudor court during historically accurate events and a game that got players to act those events out. One looks for interest in the gaps and fiction has show time and again there is a lot of space to explore the unknown and fill the gaps the further back you go. Though it is still fiction. In true crime there isn’t that freedom. The salient details are the most important bit, and there isn’t the space to explore gaps and still be relevant to the true crime itself and it’s investigation.Podcast the roleplaying game might work but what roles are you actually playing. How is your character at all relevant to the actual events?In short, the medium does not work for the genre.</blockquote>
