The idea here is based on something from an unpublished fan-translated Swedish noir mystery game. Anyway.
Basic idea is facilitating the development of mysteries and organically getting to the answer as a group.
End of a scene or end of play, you look at open questions that people remember and want answers to. Write em down, follow it with the basic journalism questions and see how many of those you have answers to. It’s half a tracker and have prompt for more command lore and investigation, either to fill in blanks or improve the quality of the answers you already have.
If you ‘solve’ a question, cross it off. The end.
Everyone can edit this.
