Publishers blurb:
A crime procedural, powered by the same system as Lady Blackbird, set in a novel pseudo-renaissance city governed by a unique set of legal practitioners who must cooperate to solve major crimes. Good for one-shots or short campaign play.
In the City of Valor, the system is law is divided into six domains, and enacted by six different kinds of officers:
Valessar: representing the people, bearing short blades and no armor, investigating in shadows
Josander: representing the judges, armored-and-well-armed, boundy by duty
Gurrymander: tending the sick, respected but aloof, watchful for the return of Plague
Publics: watching the street, enforcing the written law, exhausted but still standing
Merchant Police: privately contracted police, enforcing the Guilds' law, a proud elite
Kappaf: foreign mercenaries who keep the peace in the conquered city
Your characters will work together to solve the crimes that fall between your domains. New crimes will be introduced to your stack of casefiles, and the day-to-day pressures of your work will take its toll. What will you uncover?
Contains:
six playbooks
rules for collecting clues and making progress on a case
background information about the City of Valor
a starter casefile
rules for procedurally generating new casefiles
This is a hack of Lady Blackbird. It contains all the rules needed for play.
