Players describe an investigator’s name and occupation, roll when encountering disturbing or non-investigating actions, and use outcomes from 1 to 6 to determine information gained and whether an additional “Insight roll” occurs. The system also covers investigating via Human Die and Occupation Die, failing via a “Failure Die,” rerolls, cooperation and competition, fighting consequences, and suppressing knowledge and reaching full horror at Insight 6.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":10,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-rules-investigator-insight-die-mechanics/515543/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-rules-investigator-insight-die-mechanics/515543.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Melati","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-16","2026-10-06",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":29},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the Insight Die used for?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The Insight Die determines how far the investigator can see into the horror behind the universe.

Describe your Investigator. Take a green Insight Die.  \ninsight  \nYour Insight shows how far you can see into the horror behind the universe. It starts at 1.  \nWhen you see something disturbing, roll your Insight Die. If you get higher than your Insight, add 1 to your Insight and roleplay your fear. (This is called an “Insight roll”.)  \nIs your Insight real? Can you really see a deeper truth? Or is it just insanity? Sometimes, it is hard to tell.  \ninvestigating When you investigate something, roll:  \n􀀗 One die if what you’re doing is within human capabilities (the “Human Die”).  \n􀀗 One die if it’s within your occupational expertise (the “Occupation Die”).  \n􀀗 Your Insight Die, if you will risk your mind to succeed.  \nIf your Insight Die rolls higher than any other die, make an Insight roll, as above.  \nThen 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.  \nOn 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.  \nOn a 6, you discover all of that, plus, in someway, you glimpse beyond human knowledge. This probably means you see something horrific and make an Insight Roll.  \nHere 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.  \nOn 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 fora “glorious fulfilment”.  \nOn 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.  \nDoing other things  \nWhen you do something other than investigating, roll dice as above. If you roll your Insight Die and it rolls higher than any other die, then, as before, make an Insight Roll.  \nAgain, your highest die shows how well you do. On a 1, you barely succeed. On a 4, you succeed competently. On a 5, you succeed well and may get something extra. On a 6, you succeed brilliantly and get something extra, but maybe more than you wanted.  \nFor example: you’re escaping from the window of a hotel in Innsmouth. On a 1, you crash on an adjoining roof and attract attention. On a 4, you land quietly on the roof. On a 5, you land quietly and get something extra,: you escape your pursuers. On a 6, you land quietly, escape your pursuers and get something extra that is more than you wanted: you get a glimpse of your pursuers, who are twisted and inhuman.  \nFailing  \nIf someone thinks the story would more interesting if you failed, they describe how you might fail, then roll a die (called the “Failure Die”). They can’t do this if you’re investigating and you must succeed for the scenario to proceed.  \nIf their Failure Die rolls higher than your highest die, you fail, just as they described. If not, you succeed as before, with your highest die showing how well you succeed.  \nReturning to the example above: you’re escaping from the hotel window. This time, someone thinks it would be more interesting if your pursuers caught you. You both roll.","cbCaiipZZ2nnGn3z","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiipZZ2nnGn3z","pdf",559297,"English","# The rules\n## Insight and Insight rolls\n## Investigating with multiple dice\n## Information outcomes (1 to 6)\n## Doing other things\n## Failing and rerolling\n## Cooperating and competing\n## Fighting and avoiding supernatural combat\n## Suppressing knowledge and full horror","[{\"question\":\"What is the Insight Die used for?\",\"answer\":\"The Insight Die determines how far the investigator can see into the horror behind the universe.
