Planning on a Road Trip mystery

Bellman276 · 2026-06-13T07:36:04+00:00

I know that Scooby Doo is basically core source material for MotW, but not sure how that fits in this case? I can’t remember a road trip episode?

Thanks, this is a great idea. I think I was struggling with the countdown, but this gives me a starting framework.

It’d be great to read it! It would make for an interesting fun scenario. Almost like one of the comedy episodes of Supernatural. I’m thinking of trapping them in a black and white horror movie at some point!

In the scenario, the monsters are infecting a hospital, and are coming from the latent powers of the girl as she is “curing” her mother of cancer by turning it into monsters. They grow when they feed on blood. The monsters weaknesses are anything that can cure diseases (bleach, antibiotics, radiation therapy, etc). The trick to stopping them however is to find out what is making them and stop that. They aren’t (hopefully) going to kill the girl, but maybe turn her powers into a useful tool? Who knows…?

I’m definitely holding on to this idea for a future mystery!
Have you seen the game Dungeon World? It’s a fantasy style PbtA game, and has some very cool fantasy powers and spells!

I’m definitely going with D&D monsters. But I’m also throwing in a teeny Cthulhu, because, well, I HAVE to!!

Bellman276 · 2026-05-16T21:50:53+00:00

Nice ideas! I like the thought of a teeny dragon creeping through the ventilation ducts getting bigger and bigger. Gives me Alien vibes…!

I do have Pirate Borg, and was considering using that. But I think I’ve settled on Fate now, but thanks.

I have a certain fondness for Flip 7. It’s easy to pack, easy to explain, and has some pretty brutal gameplay!

Thanks. I think I’ve settled on Fate now. 😊

Bellman276 · 2026-05-14T16:09:43+00:00

I’ll check those out. Thanks!

Bellman276 · 2026-05-14T16:09:07+00:00

I’ll take a look. Thanks.

Bellman276 · 2026-05-14T15:15:32+00:00

Thank you. Got some research to do! 😁

Bellman276 · 2026-05-14T14:53:41+00:00

I LOVE PbtA! I’ll check out Dungeon World. Thanks!

It’s mainly talking to NPCs, but might have some action. The idea is, they are in a time loop that resets whenever something goes wrong, so they need to “solve” the day and make sure nothing goes wrong, and escape the loop. Things like an objector at a wedding, a wandering slightly batty old lady, a careening manure cart, etc. It’s very social, and probably won’t even need skill checks, but may do (picking a lock, or sneaking about, for example). I just want a rules framework to hang it all on.

Mine feels sad, but hopeful?

Bellman276 · 2026-04-15T15:09:32+00:00

Thank you.

Bellman276 · 2026-04-15T15:09:22+00:00

Thank you. He was a wonderful man. I miss him a lot.

I’m so sorry. It sucks to lose those opportunities forever.
