Yo. Been really getting interested in Eureka recently, cause it looks cool as hell from what I've read, and also I ran a police procedural campaign a few years back that I'd like to bring back, but my choice of system back then for the type of game was bad (Savage Worlds). Likely gonna give Eureka a shot with it anyway, but does the game separate out the urban fantasy elements from the more realistic/mundane elements by how much? Like, do traits have seperate sections for non/fantasy and fantasy traits, or is it all just together? Is there anything else in the game that complicates running a campaign with no fantasy elements?

You can download Eureka from this link for free (we’d really appreciate it if you paid but payment is optional) and check it out for yourself, just in case you didn’t know!

But to answer your question, the urban fantasy stuff and the mundane stuff actually are quite separate in the book. You’ll find a few references to the existence of vampires and stuff in the mundane rules, but all of the rules for supernatural characters are found in the very back of the book, not mixed in with the other character creation stuff.

As for other complications, this isn’t exactly a complication with running a fully mundane no-fantasy game, but there might be a few small complications with running a police procedural game. Don’t get me wrong, I actually still think that Eureka is probably your best option for a police investigation campaign, but there will need to be a little tinkering. But that’s what I’m here for.

By default, Eureka assumes that the PCs are not cops, so it assumes that they don’t have access to all of the resources cops have when investigating crimes. Eureka assumes that the PCs don’t have the institutional power to make an arrest, to take someone in for official interrogation, to call for backup if they get into a bad situation, or to send forensic evidence back to the lab for analysis.

Now, the only one of these that I can think of actually causing any friction with the game itself is the part about sending forensic evidence back to the lab.

Making an arrest and interrogating someone would be easily handled by the rules as they are with no changes. For calling for backup, you could take a look at the “Heat” section in Chapter 7. That section is normally used for what happens if the cops get called *on* the PCs, but since it has mechanics to tell you how long it takes the cops to show up, you could just use those same rules to determine how long it takes for backup to arrive.

Sending forensic evidence back to the lab, well, we don’t have anything for that. If I had to make something up on the fly, realistically it would probably be like, the PCs bag the evidence and send it to the lab and then in 1D6 days they get the information back.

Of course if I were writing this into the rules for real, I’d probably spend hours or days on it coming up with some kind of system that determines the reliability of that evidence and how likely it is to be a false positive or false negative (because IRL forensic evidence is not nearly as reliable as cop shows make it look or as reliable as police would like you to believe), but i have Silk&Dagger to write right now.

And here's another link

Finally have a nice character page for my human Bill!

Trying to use to use quirks I love from an artist I who's work I love and I genuinely love some of the result? I like the fluidity and polish they add to my style.

bunch of sketches of some of the Freezeflamers, the (procedurally created) characters from my current Rimworld playthrough.

older drawings of some of the same cast but from last year have also been included, for comparison

full ingame cast (there's like 55 of them total) also included

so we all hated that new issue of x-factor right? that was stupid as shit right?

I love having a magic system that also works through writing, which includes tattoos.

This essentially allows to me give characters top notch bottom surgeries without as much risk, or give them binders that work at will and far better

i would like to know who in their infinite wisdom decided that the pump clip that comes standard issue with my new pump would be nearly impossible to take off yet required to do so when the pump itself needs to be charged or cartridge replaced. integrate your teams or something for christ’s sake

looking at a oblivion (2006) vs oblivion remastered cities comparison video and like. it's obvious how far graphical technology has come in the past 20 years ofc but i know i've said this already but even if you compared this to like, skyrim (2011) or even anniversary edition it's still so far ahead of that. that's what you get when someone other than bethesda does this shit ig
