Moves:
Connected the Dots (At the beginning of each mystery,
if you look for the wider patterns that current
events might be part of, roll +Sharp. On a 10+ hold
3, and on a 7-9 hold 1. Spend your hold during the
mystery to ask the Keeper any one of the following
questions:
• Is this person connected to current events more
than they are saying?
• When and where will the next critical event
occur?
• What does the monster want from this person?
• Is this connected to previous mysteries we have
investigated?
• How does this mystery connect to the bigger
picture?)
See, It All Fits Together (You can use Sharp instead of Charm when you manipulate someone. )
Net Friends (You know a lot of people on the Internet.
When you contact a net friend to help you with
a mystery, roll +Charm. On a 10+, they’re available
and helpful—they can fix something, break a code,
hack a computer, or get you some special information.
On a 7-9, they’re prepared to help, but it’s either
going to take some time or you’re going to have to do
part of it yourself. On a miss, you burn some bridges.)
Gear:
9mm (2-harm close loud)
Garrote (3-harm intimate)
Butterfly knife/folding knife (1-harm hand)
Look: Man; Focused Eyes; Comfortable Clothes

Backstory:
I’m 25 and far too well informed. I grew up the pasty white bullied kid but a normal childhood. It got better when I made it to college and fell in love with Cross Fit and Anthropology. I started my Blog “The Iron Man” to capture my interests in great workouts and new discoveries in the prevailing research on the cultures ranging from the Aztec the the Huns.
As fate would have it, I’m too good at my job. When you start looking at so many cultures, you start to find commonalities in their legends. For instance you have a fire breathing lizard in Chinese legend and Nordic poems next thing you know you find bizarre claw marks at Viking dig you are working in Denmark and the next thing you know you are being chased out of a cave by something that could only be described as a dragon, that’s where the Cross Fit saved my life. You have a few more run ins with wisps in the woods of Ireland, water demon signs in Japan and don’t get me started on what Big Foot probably is.
Turns out if you write enough of this stuff on you blog people start questioning your sanity you’ll be told you are wearing your ‘tin foil hat’ which eventually lead to me calling my blog “The Tin Man”. They can all for go to hell I knew the truth and they didn’t. It wasn’t all bad slowly my blog started getting some really great workouts --after all I could add a workout using ghosts to chase you-- and after all the deniers say their piece and leave your site you start attracting people who actually believe and contribute to the truth.
Sometimes people need a guy who can find the truth and tend to contact me on the web. When I can advise I do. When it’s interesting enough I join in. It’s a curse to be too well informed but it’s a wild ride.
