[QUOTE="chaochou, post: 8416721, member: 99817"] I had already answered your question in my post which you quoted. And then, when you completely ignored this, I reitereated it: Are you going to ignore all this again? Until you take me - from the beginning - through the processes being used to establish why there's a crime, and how the characters are related to that crime, and why each character cares - and of utmost importance who has authored every one of those aspects of the situation - then there are no answers as to how Apocalypse World (or indeed any Story Now game) will 'handle' your empty 'investigate a room' proposition. Who has authored what room you're in? Why you are there? What sort of thing you might expect to find? Why do you believe that's the case? Who at the table is creating all this content? The presumption in your line of questioning is that in all cases the GM has decided that a crime has happened, that the GM gets to task the players to investigate the crime, that certain information (clues) have been pre-written by the GM to allow the perpetrator of the crime to be revealed, and that gameplay will involve players making action declarations gated behind rolls which will dole out parcels of information until they have all the jigsaw pieces to 'solve' the mystery. Until you discard this entire paradigm there is no point answering questions about any specific instance of play. [/QUOTE]
