BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Replace the paragraph beginning “When a Detective finds a Clue” in the rule “Clues” with the following:

When a Detective finds a Clue, the Chief performs an atomic action known as Discovery, which has the following steps:

* Establish the Target to be the Detective mentioned when describing the performing of this atomic action.
* Establish the Target’s gullibility as:
** 3 if the target is Credulous.
** 1 if the target is Discerning.
** 2 otherwise.
* Select a Possibility at random from those in the Scope of the Target. If the Possibility is a Quality of the Murder, its Type is “Proof”, otherwise its Type is “Disproof”.
* Roll a twenty sided die.
** If the result of this toss is higher than the Target’s gullibility, privately inform the Target of the Possibility and its Type.
** Otherwise, privately inform the Target of the Possibility and the opposite of its Type. This is known as a red herring.

If More to Life has passed, add two new Traits to the list in the rule “Traits”:

* Discerning (Positive) Affects Discovery.
* Credulous (Negative) Affects Discovery.

Otherwise, replace the second paragraph of “Traits” with:

Each Trait has a Name and a Nature (either Positive, Neutral or Negative). Observant, Dogged, Forensic, and Discerning are Positive Traits. Scruffy, Alcoholic, Arrogant, and Credulous are Negative Traits.
