Mystery Snacks

Made to capture cozy, silly, and exciting mystery novel vibes, Mystery Snacks gives you all the ingredients needed to set up and solve a satisfying enigma with your tabletop RPG group!

The system-agnostic all-ages friendly whodunits found here are arranged like a recipe book, clearly listing clues and key story elements like meal prepped adventures to minimize your set up and let you focus on facilitating your players cooking up a solution.

The 24 page zine includes: 

• 8 pre-made mysteries
• optional system designed for mystery-solving shenanigans

The pre-made mysteries are.... 

• Per Diem at the Museum, investigate missing museum items (and a snack stand raid)
• Dude, Where's My Broom?, retrace steps to solve a magical college campus conundrum
• Ostriches on the Loose, search for the truth in a series of farm abductions and cryptid sightings
• Wild Goose Chez, follow a trail of clues (and breadcrumbs) in a dispute between land developers and the community
• A Sharp Mind Needs a Light, assist a baker in oven repairs... and find out why a shady business is getting involved
• One Byte Too Many, find the missing Cyberplex star before it's too late!  The show must go on!
• Green Zines and Ham, uncover the source of the cat-themed zines appearing in the library (and find out where the librarian's lunch keeps going)
• A Soup-er Suspicious Situation, help the mice find out who is sabotaging the annual soup festival before it's all cancelled!

In addition to the system-agnostic adventures, the book will include a rules-lite mystery-specific system based on Breathless, a 2-5 player system by Fari RPG that's used in 250+ TTRPGs.  While the stories can be played on other systems, I wanted to provide an option for folks who would like to try something new or who are looking for mechanics that pair particularly well with sussing out secrets.

Mysteries throughout the game are made to be great for any age (kids or adults) with tones and themes that reflect the feel of a good mystery novel or cartoon-like shenanigans.

I hope you enjoy Mystery Snacks!  Happy investigating, and, as always, HAPPY GAMING!
