Success on the check provides a lead to where to

find an answer, but does not provide an answer darectly.
This could be directions to a knowledgeable NPC, or it
could mean the character chances across some evidence
to support her theories. For example, if the question
was, “How do we convince Mahon the Hutt to give us
Savas the Dreaded’s next destination after he sold him
bearsloth venom he got on Arbooine?" then a successful
check might direct the PCs towards another interest of
Mahon’s that they can threaten to coerce the Hutt into
cooperating. Studying Mahon’s criminal empire, or gath—
ering information from any other source, to yield up the
information the PCS need works just as any other similar
encounter. Failing a check in the investigation leads the
character into a hazard or trap. This could be an ambush
by parties interested in keeping the character away from
their secrets, or following a lead into a dangerous envi»
ronment such as an ancient, decaying space station.
The dangers faced by investigators should always
bear a link to the investigation at hand, as should the
checks that the Characters make. Each time a Character
deals with the dangers Sprung from a failed check, the
Character should find a lead, such as a secret passage
to a treasure chamber on the space station, or a mis—
placed crate of spice suggesting a larger operation, that
leads her to further clues. The character can then reat-
tempt the check for investigation, but she now upgrades
the ability of the check once. If the character fails again
and persists through further hazards, she upgrades the
ability once for each failure that she overcomes
RUNNING AN
INVESTIGATION
Whether running an investigation with the rules pre-
sented here, or going through the full process of
detailing every lead and Clue, there are certain] factors
that all investigations in a game of EDGE OF THE EMPIRE
hold in common. Being mindful of Lhese elements is
important to keep an investigation interesting and Lhe
narrative in motion, while ignoring Lhem can lead to a
stalled investigation in which the players are aimlessly
spinning their wheels in frustration.
KEEP THINGS MOVING
The first, and arguably most important, element of any
investigative game is to keep Lhe InvesLiganr‘l mov
ing forward. This is not the same thing as leading the
players to where they need to go, although that is one
method of doing 30. Instead, keeping the investigation
moving forward means supplying the players wth leads
to follow, and minimizing or removing any dead ends.
The first of the two seems simple but, m practice,
isoften the more complicated. Not everything that
the GM, with full knowledge of the mysteries at hand,
thinks is a Clear clue is going to seem the same way
to the players. In the same vein, what Lhc GM consid-
ers inconsequential information may catch the inter-
est and imaginatior] of the players and cause them
to believe they have found a crucial lead. The eaglest

ways to deal with these problems are a mix of clear
communication and a willingness to adapt Some-
times the CM needs to state outright that something
is out of place or completely ordinary, as appropri—
aLc,ar1d if the players still do not foHow the expected
path. the CM needs to regroup and rethink the plan.
Waiting for players to investigate strange f'ootprirus
only leads the players to frustration if Lhey are more
interested in a shaLtered Window the CM mentioned
in passing, but linking the two by adding another set
of prints might put them back on track‘
An especially important factor to keep in mind is tl’IaL
if a due is essential to moving forward with the Inves-
tigation, then there should be no risk of the players
failing to find it‘ If the strange footprint; are [he only
way to follow the suspected murderer in an investiga-
tion, then the narrative stops as dead as the victim
Should the players fail to notice them. Therefore, the
CM needs to either provide clues at this level of rel-
evance without checks, or to avoid making any single
clue crucial to completing Lhe investigation In fact, it
can be a good idea to provide all relevant Clues Without
requiring checks to find them, and instead only require
work to determir‘le their I'neauings and interrelatiorm.
Finally, if the players become stuck even aI‘Ler pro-
viding a solid set of leads, don‘t be afraid Lo give out
more 1|‘1fon'nation. Simply feeding player's answers to
their questions can be unsatisfying, but I'IGW leads can
come up in all sorts of ways. The PCS may be able to
draw on their bounty I'mntlng guild or affiliation, or
mighL even receive a message from an old partner or
past associate without asking. Leads can also come
from hostile figures overexLeI'Idn‘lg [hGIT'ISOIVGS For
