Freight of Shadows

Los Angeles, 1942. Private investigators are drawn into the unexplained death of Penny Bruebaker beneath the 4th Street Bridge. With only a cargo hook, four dollars, an ivory comb, a length of rope, and a watch-engraving receipt as evidence, they reconstruct her final days and uncover the truth behind the case. This story roleplaying game uses scene-framing rules for vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensembles. Players take the roles of directors and characters, shaping a dramatic investigation through crisis and discovery. It is designed for three or more players, requires no preparation, and uses a poker deck and tokens to track drama points. A separate Protocol game or Protocol Prime is required to provide the rules.
