I want to run something like this in a couple weeks for my wife and 14 year old son. I don’t want to burden them too much with creating characters or extensive skills etc. Are there pregens somewhere and is this the right game for me or is there a FATE accelerated game with mysteries that is similar?

Hi Scott, yep, you can play our iconic sleuths on page 252 of the book.

Would you be able to post the other important sheets in the book?
Sleuth investigative skill matrix, town sheet, relationship sheet, location sheet, town sheet, npc sheet, Throwdown summary?
Basically everything from the Charts, Sheets, and Forms appendix p 255-264.
The game is fantastic! Nicely done.

Yeah, we should be able to get those as well. One moment while I talk to layout and export them.

Any word on getting those other sheets uploaded? I’ll be running this at a gaming convention in a couple weeks, and could use all the help I can get. Thanks!

Yes indeed. With Stranger Things getting some interest in kid investigators, it would be cool to have all the tools to make it succeed.

Fighting appears to be missing from the General Abilities list on the character sheet.

I love this game ! I actually play it with my mom, and some of my friends. Basically, we play Riverdale. Mom made our own character sheet with the Riverdale font (and she added Fighting; because Jughead and the Serpents get into a lot of fights). It’s a great game. I love it because I think it plays fast, and it plays like a TV show, or a movie. So, thanks, to you guys for publishing the game.

Errata to the errata… (p. 59)
Just got the Bubblegumshoe book and the system seems super cool. Looking forward to running this with my group.
However, I may have misunderstood something but the errata says that:
Page 59: Spending 1 point of an Interpersonal ability in a social conflict adds +1
to the die.
But everywhere else (not just p. 59 eg. 57, 61, 63 etc.) it says that interpersonal spends in throw downs adds +2. However p. 59 states that spending throwdown adds +2, although I can’t seem to find that anywhere else. It seems the errata should say:
Page 59: Spending 1 point of throwdown in a social conflict adds +1
to the die.
OK. Just one more question, bear with me 🙂
On p. 80 under “No, I mean fighting damage” it says:
“Physically Fighting another character requires a 3-point Cool test.”
Then further down it says:
“Cool tests while fighting (including the test to start fighting) are always at Difficulty 5.”
I’m probably reading this wrong.
A Sleuth and an NPC are about to start a physical fight, in order to not back down or run away they need to pass a Cool test. But do they need to roll a 3 or higher or a 5 or higher?
Again, thanks for a great system 🙂

Hi Rolf,
The errata holds in all cases (59 and in the other places it’s mentioned)
Regarding page 80. The “3-point Cool test” means that if they fail the test, they lose 3 points of Cool. The test is at Difficulty 5.
