Mutant City Blues RPG - 2nd Edition

The investigation mechanics using evidence dice felt incredibly intuitive once we started our first session—way smoother than other crime-solving systems I've tried. My group was hooked on tracking down mutant suspects and piecing together powers from the grid-based system.

The power descriptions alone—flying, phasing, dream-walking—had me hooked, but the Heightened Crime mechanics tie it all together so cleverly that my group solved our first case in one sitting.

The crime scene flowchart system is genius for tracking clues, and the Sudden Mutation Event backstory makes character creation feel grounded. I've already run two sessions and the rules handle everything from telepathy to phasing without bogging down.
