Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, Introducing the Snoops!

Introducing the snoops! You just saw one right now in the Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy logo! These shady little guys are kind of the mascots for Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, found all over the rulebook* playing hero and villain alike. They are meant to invoke the image of an old-timey detective or spy, as you can probably tell.

We went through a number of little terms for them before settling on snoops for now, including “dicks”, but the rest of the team won’t let me swear in the rulebook. They're called snoops because they be snoopin', among other things.

They serve kind of a similar role in the Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy rulebook to the role Vault Boy serves in the Fallout games. In fact, Vault Boy was a direct inspiration for this kind of iconography. Like Vault Boy, snoops appear unreal all kinds of different roles, sometimes hero, sometimes villain, but always there to iconografy some kind of rules concept or game mechanic.

Like here how Vault Boy appears dressed as the Grim Reaper to demonstrate the Grim Reaper's Sprint perk, and appears holding a all the types of weapons that get a damage boost from the Cowboy perk to demonstrate the Cowboy perk, we have—or plan to have—a snoop for every occasion.

Traits in Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy are not exactly the same thing as Fallout perks, nor were they inspired by them, but in much the same way as how Fallout uses a Vault Boy for ever perk, we plan to have a snoop for every Trait. Here is a link to a post all about Traits.

as well as use them to demonstrate key concepts and mechanics in the rules themselves.

This is not only fun and looks good, but the snoops also help readers find exactly where to stop when scrolling or flipping quickly through the Eureka rulebook. If you’re trying to find the beginning of the Composure section fast, you just have to remember that that’s the snoop that’s breaking down into puzzle pieces. Also, here's a link to a post all about the Composure mechanic.

*unfortunately, art is hard and time-consuming, and that’s why relatively few snoops have made it into the existing prerelease rulebook and demo that you might've seen thus far. But, I have some good news, the next patreon update will include a bunch more, including many of the ones you’ve seen here.

If you want to play this game, you can get the full prerelease rulebook plus a bunch of other bonuses for just $5 on our patreon, or go to our website to download the free demo version along with a free starter adventure module. However, the free version has very few snoops. Sorry, you get what you pay for. The patreon supporters will be getting a bunch of snoops in the next big update, though, so stay tuned!

Also, we are running a TTRPG Book Club, where everyone nominates indie TTRPGs, votes on what to play, reads&plays them, and discusses! It has over fifty members at the time of writing this! You can find the invite link to the book club on our website!

By the way, the snoop that appears in our company logo below and who is also kinda the main snoop, his name is Conway.

O’Knutzy Week 2023

Snoops!!! Characters all belong to @lumosinlove (mwah!). Fair warning: these are not in order and I am not revealing my chosen prompts until the day of because... I don’t want to <3 Woohoo!

“We aren’t really about the ‘MeeMaw’ life here,” Eloise laughed.

Outside, the porch swing creaked gently as Leo sat down with a smile and a sigh Finn heard through the screen door. Mismatched glasses clinked on mosaic tiles.

Dusk looked good on him. Contentment looked even better.

--

Before his very eyes, his Jacques-Pepin wet dream of a rotisserie chicken sat up and began to dance burlesque.

--

Sweet mother of fuck, Leo thought, dragging his eyes along lambswool lapels and porcelain wrists. He even looks delicious in denim.

--

Mundanity was a gift; a joy, a pleasure, a treasure of his heart. Kicking around town in anything but red and gold made them all but invisible and it was glorious, sweet on his tongue and warm in his belly. His lips still tasted like envelope. Dryer-static made the hair on his arms stand up under his sleeves. Cool fingers tucked the tag of his sweater back into the neckline and ghosted across the back of his neck with a lover’s care.

--

“One-two, three-four, you step, step left, step left—left, honey, wrong f—ow. Do you know your right from your left?”

“…oops.”

Inktober 2023: (Days 21 through 24)

Here are four more of my new Inktober posts! Most of these I spent less than time than usual since I was pretty swamped with other obligations this past weekend. Work, errands, and a real baby shower are just a few of the things that cut into my time.
