#backbone

The Backbone SRD just updated to V1.02, which includes a better game sample, a completely reworked introduction, various rewritten passages, and a reorganized flow.

Thanks for all the great feedback so far! Keep it coming!

The main protagonist of Tails Noir, Howard majored in photography in college and now works as a private investigator, mainly taking on cases related to insurance fraud, cheating spouses, and other non-violent crimes. But when he gets hired by a banker to find out whether her husband is cheating on her, he tracks him to a shady nightclub and finds himself instead investigating a horrific murder.

Howard is a hopeless romantic, craving affection from others while also denying it and hiding behind a professional mask. He enjoys reading and jazz music, but also has a fondness for funk and rock music thanks to an old roommate of his. He once dabbled in playing the guitar, but is pretty good at the harmonica! He has a strained relationship with his mother but still cares about her and wants to make her proud.

It takes just one person standing up to break the authoritarian spell. History is seldom kind to opportunistic lickspittles of bullies.

Courageousness can be contagious, but someone has to be first.

I'm now fully caught up with Drama Queen

tails noir: (previously backbone) 10/10 game with incredible world building. just as beautiful as it seems

chicken cop saga: very similar world building and the smoothest mechanics out of all of these. so so so fun in visuals and writing

blacksad: if you like the comics you might like the game too. or vice versa. much more annoying to play but otherwise comparable
