OZ Detective Campaign

[kapars]

A group of players has requested a mystery/detective game in the Oz setting. I have the Andrew Kolb book and ran a more traditional adventure before. Any recommendation for a system and an alternate lore book? I’d prefer to keep using my Kolb book but don’t want mysteries solved with Detect Thoughts / Scrying. Players are open to a different system. VTT compatibility would be great.

Oz, the Emerald Kingdom, or Oz, the HBO series?

Oz, the Emerald Kingdom, or Oz, the HBO series?

The Emerald Kingdom though I can see how the other part of the question could lead to the latter interpretation

 

[Hriston]

I haven't had a chance to play it yet, and I'm not sure it's what you're looking for, but Adventures in Oz is a relatively lightweight system that seems pretty flexible.

Just to be sure: L. Frank Baum Oz, or Men at Work Oz?
