规则THE RULES你的调查员YOUR INVESTIGATOR决定名字和职业。描述你的调查员。拿一枚绿色的洞察骰出来。(译注:为什么是绿色的)
所有的骰子,包括你的洞察骰,都是六面骰。
洞察INSIGHT你的洞察显示出你离看到宇宙背后的恐惧还有多远。它从1点开始。
当你看到某物使你不安时,投掷你的洞察骰,如果结果比你的洞察要高,加1点于你的洞察并扮演出你的恐惧。(这被称作“洞察掷骰”)
你所洞察到的是真实吗?你真的能看到更深层次的真相吗?或仅仅只是你精神失常了?有时候,这很难判断。
调查INVESTIGATING 当你在调查某物时,投掷:
▶如果你在做的事情是人类能力范围内的话,获得一枚骰子(“人类骰”)
▶如果你在做的事情是在你职业技能范围内的话,获得一枚骰子(“职业骰”)
▶如果你愿意冒险来获得成功,可以投掷你的洞察骰
如果你的洞察骰的掷骰结果比其他的骰子的结果都要高,进行一次洞察掷骰,一如上文所述。
接着你掷骰结果最高的数值显示出你能得到多少信息,为1点时,你得到最低限度的信息:如果你需要信息来继续推进,你就会得到它,但仅此而已。为4点时,你会得到一个称职的调查员能发现的一切。为5点时,你会得到一个称职的调查员能发现的一切,再附加了一些别的(信息)。举例说明,你可能还会记得一个与之相关的民间故事、谣言或科学实验。为6点时,你发现了所有的信息,包括附加的部分,在某种程度上,你瞥见超越了人类的知识。这意味着你可能看到了一些可怕的事情,并进行一次洞察骰。

If your Insight Die rolls higher than any other When you investigate something, roll:
▶One die if what you’re doing is within human capabilities (the “Human Die”).
▶One die if it’s within your occupational expertise (the “Occupation Die”).
▶Your Insight Die, if you will risk your mind to succeed.
If your Insight Die rolls higher than any other die, make an Insight roll, as above.
Then your highest die shows how much information you get. On a 1, you get the bare minimum: if you need information to proceed, you get it, but that’s all. On a 4, you get everything a competent investigator would discover. On a 5, you discover everything a competent investigator would discover, plus something more. For example, you might also remember a related folktale, rumour or scientific experiment. On a 6, you discover all of that, plus, in some way, you glimpse beyond human knowledge. This probably means you see something horrific and make an Insight Roll.
这是一个例子。你在调查你叔叔的手稿。
为1点时,你只能得到足够的信息来继续这个故事:这是一个地址,“托马斯街7号”。
为4点时,你会发现一个称职的调查员会发现的一切:你发现你的叔祖父正在研究那些被梦境和幻觉困扰的人,其中一个就是托马斯街7号的威尔科克斯先生。
为5点时,你会发现所有这些信息,还有附加的更多信息。所以,你发现你的叔祖父在研究那些被梦境和幻象困扰的人,其中一个就是托马斯街7号的威尔科克斯先生。另外,当你读到对梦境的描述时,这让你想起了有报纸上有关加利福尼亚神智派团体的报道,那些最近被披上了“光辉成就”罩袍的家伙。
在6号上,你发现了所有这些,并且你瞥见超越人类的知识。所以,你发现你的叔祖父正在调查那些被梦境和幻象所困扰的人,其中一个就是托马斯街7号的威尔科克斯先生,你还记得报纸上关于一个加州神智派团体的报道。你自己也会经历其中的某种幻觉。

Here is an example. You’re investigating your great-uncle’s manuscripts. On a 1, you get only enough information to continue with the story: it is an address, “7 Thomas Street.” On a 4, you discover everything a competent investigator would discover: you find that your great-uncle was researching people plagued by dreams and visions, one of whom was Mr Wilcox of 7 Thomas Street.
On a 5, you discover all that, plus something more. So, you find that your great-uncle was researching people plagued by dreams and visions, one of whom was Mr Wilcox of 7 Thomas Street. Plus, when you read the descriptions of the dreams, they remind you of newspaper reports about a Californian theosophist colony, who recently donned robes for a “glorious fulfilment.”
On a 6, you discover all that, plus you glimpse beyond human knowledge. So, you find that your great-uncle was investigating people plagued by dreams and visions, one of whom was Mr Wilcox of 7 Thomas Street, and you recall newspaper reports about a Californian theosophist colony. And you experience one of the visions yourself.
