Starfinder: Get Swept Up In The Threefold Conspiracy
The Threefold Conspiracy is a new Adventure Path for Starfinder–this one focused a little more on solving mysteries and finding answers in Near Space.
The newest Adventure Path for Starfinder launches next month. The Three-Fold Conspiracy kicks off with an adventure titled The Chimera Mystery, which is–as the title suggests–a whodunit in space. You’ll start on the luxury liner, the Chimera, doing pretty normal space things until one of the passengers goes missing, and it’s all pretty much downhill from there. I’m fairly excited that there’s a lot of mystery and intrigue in this adventure. I don’t think you see too many paths that focus on actually solving a murder–there’s a lot of abstraction or in Waterdeep: Dragon Heist there’s a chance for player’s to know that something else is going on–but this one sounds like they want to play up the tropes of that genre.
I don’t know how successful it’ll be–mysteries are a notoriously difficult thing when you don’t have the luxury of being a writer who can just decide that a character sees the clues because you’re making up both victim and investigator–but I have hopes. The first adventure is up for pre-order now, and it becomes available in just a few short weeks, so get on it while you can, and check back for more later.

The security officer aboard a luxury space liner, the Chimera, goes missing after the heroes witness her arguing with a passenger. Soon after, the Chimera’s engines fail and defy repair. A scholarly patron asks the heroes to investigate the disappearance, which involves murder, misdirection, and misapprehension. To unravel the murder mystery around them, the heroes must follow clues about more than one enigma aboard the Chimera. Secrets and unexpected foes abound. In the end, the investigators find that the whole whodunit is only part of a much larger conspiracy!
