Law, Order, and other Fallacies
A downloadable game
Blades cross under the light of crystal chandeliers. The combatants are dressed in brightly dyed clothes, double-breasted tailcoats with golden buttons and gilded lapels. Hair quaffed and cheekbones bronzed. The audience cheers. This is a different kind of courtroom drama.
This adventure is set in Antaglos, a district within the Cloud City Upsilon. Players take on the roles of investigators hunting for clues and evidence supporting their case. While employing the rules of Cloud Empress, the adventure introduces a unique structure of play and additional mechanics, including rules for the epic courtroom duels fought by the famous Lawblades of Upsilon.

TTRPG mysteries are difficult to pull off, but I think this one would work well at my table. The quantity and diversity of interconnected Clues (and no set "answer" toward which the Warden must steer their players) really supports the "play to find out what happens" maxim. I can see the Duel of Wits mechanic working for similar cases in Antaglos (though I might require a roll of 70 or higher for the opposing side to concede the case on a success). Speaking of which, the Lawblades is such a fun NPC class. And I love how this adventure reinforces the proletariat themes of the Antaglos district setting.
Thank you :)
It might be true that the balancing needs adjustment.
Call me selfish, I just want to see a Duel of Blades! ;-)
A rather common proclivity amongst the Cloudlings of Antaglos ;)
