We’re back and we’re blundering. That’s not to say that we don’t have a clue, but we’re not quite sure what to do with the handful we’ve managed to find. We’ve tried pinning them to a board and running strings between them, but the result is more abstract art than anything functional. Maybe we’ll just keep punching NPCs until one of them finally tells us what’s going on.







Main Topic: How to be an Investigator







This episode is our attempt to sharpen our own skills as investigators, or at least hope that others can learn from our mistakes. Scott and guest host Seth Skorkowsky have been playing an in-depth investigative campaign together recently, and both independently realised that they are terrible at investigation. So we spend this episode trying to work out how to get better at gathering clues and making sense of them once we’ve done so.







Our Guest Host







We are delighted to have YouTuber, podcaster and author Seth Skorkowsky join us for this episode. Most of our listeners will know Seth from his ENnie-Award winning YouTube channel, as well as the Modern Mythos podcast, which he hosts with Jon Hook.







Seth is also the author of many fine books, spanning urban fantasy, sword and sorcery, and horror. His main focus right now is his ongoing video diary for the Traveller campaign, Secrets of the Ancients.
