Asphodel Blues
  It is self-contained and relatively unobstructive, meaning that it can be bolted onto nearly any RPG system to give it a more Unusual flair, and to provide guidance for roleplay.   It gives us detectives with finely-tuned Instincts that provide them with useful Hunches, but just as often lead them astray. This is a tiny RPG designed for use in detective stories, inspired by ZA/UM’s mystery video game Disco Elysium and Vincent Baker’s tabletop engine Otherkind Dice.
