Hint RPG

Hint uses an open mystery system: nobody, including the game master, knows “whodunnit” until the final roll of the dice. Play one of the pre-generated characters or make your own using the simple character creation rules.

Hint is a detective game that uses a modified version of the Cypher System role-playing game from Monte Cook Games. It is played by one game master and 3 to 6 players. The adventure uses an open mystery system inspired by the game Brindlewood Bay by Jason Cordova, published by The Gauntlet. It leaves room for creative improvisation by players and game masters alike. The game is standalone; no other rulebooks are needed to play.
Hint is a one-shot mystery adventure inspired by classic murder mystery board games. Each player creates a character using the character creation rules or picks one of the pre-generated characters, such as Commander Catsup, Seor Verde and Madame Ruby. The characters try to find clues to solve a murder and use the clues to propose a solution. The players then roll dice to see whether their solution is correct. With a little luck, even the wildest theory can be true if it is based on the clues gathered.
Each character is a member of the local gaming group, and the group has been invited to test a new murder mystery board game called Hint, created by game designer Harriet Persson. Ms Persson based the characters in the board game on the player characters, and they have been invited to playtest it in honour of these tributes.

Hint includes the adventure and rulebook, booklets of maps for GMs and players, character sheets, pre-generated characters and a player’s guide to creating your own character.
