It's days like these that you just wished you never got out of bed.
Come to think of it, I'm not sure what was more deadly, the broad, or the pistol she was holding.
New Stories, New Protagonists
Noirland is a place of detectives, investigators, reporters and government agents.
The great global conflict at the end of the last century shattered a lot cultural norms, such as gender roles, much as our own Second World War did with us, so if you want to play a Hommé Fatale or a female deadbeat PI, that's totally within the setting.
The thirty years since the Mother War have been a period of upheaval and change, and there are great opportunities for the honest man, and even greater for the dishonest. Landstrea a good fit for any crime caper, gangster story or murder mystery, while the different nations lean easily into the shady world of spies, secrets and bribery. A true mystery might just involve elements of both.
It Takes a Team to Tango
Even the most hardened ex-cop can't solve the case on their own. They are going to need all the help they can get.
Whether it's a young idealistic partner, a smart but sassy sidekick, a local fixer or just an old buddie that owes them more than a favour.
There are many roles ones can assume in Noirland and plenty of skills that can be brought to the table. Stitching together all of the clues is too big a job for any one person to manage, so the team is essential. After all, if you don't have anyone to watch your back, do you really have anything at all?
