[QUOTE="UniversalMonster, post: 343050, member: 1034"] Investigation Matrix with bouncing quarry: Basically you present the players with a scavenger hunt type of plot- there are several NPC's that the players must visit to question them about a certain thing (say a wizard's homonculous that was used in a murder plot). Each NPC holds a vital clue that comes out in an investigative interview that the players are supposedly going to conduct. The homonculous itself is hiding in one of the NPC's houses and may even move to one of the other NPC's houses, which presents players a chance to "nip the plot in the bud" if they are sharp. Another option is to have certain of the quarry NPC's visit each other during the investigative interviews and interfere with each other during interviews. Another option is the classic "Rashomon" type of interview meta-game. Allow the players to interview several witnesses of a given event. Each witness gives a different account. None of the accounts match exactly, and one of the accounts is a lie. [/QUOTE]
