Anyone know of a "role playing game", and I use that lightly, that gives you the feeling of traditional D&D... but instead of D&D-like game play is more of a murder or other type of mystery? Can be fantasy, or not, but where you can buy like mystery stories and run a "campaign" where the players have to solve whatever mystery there is?
Call of Cthulhu if you like horror.
Horror mysteries?
No, just horror really, IMO.

Maybe Gabriel Knight - a Sierra point and click. Old stuff. Maybe on GOG.

Horror mysteries?
Yep there are some really good mysteries that are out there. They all generally have a "horror" slant to them though. It's a decent, if a bit complicated, game system based on percentile dice.
If you don't want the horror aspect, something like Bubblegumshoe may be good?
-
@scottalanmiller are you looking to have pre-made scenarios to throw at players or just to have a system dedicated to mysteries (murder/horror/otherwise) that you make up yourself?

@siringo you should see how we drive in Texas... One of our toll roads is 85 mph / 137 kph (posted) and it is nothing to roll 90 to 95.
I've driven in Texas. Funny thing we found at the time, when we came up behind someone in the right hand lane, they'd move over off the road but continue driving.
A mate in Texas gave us advice on how to get onto the I35. Pick your spot and floor it.
SOOO much more traffic in the US than down here.

@siringo I don't have anything with 5 1/4 floppy drive anymore; was designed for I think the 286 generation of CPU. I just hold on to it for nostalgia
Bugger, oh well, good to see a 5 1/4 floppy again.

drove into work today doing a relaxed 59 mph, that was fast enough for me.
not sure how believable doing 80mph in NYC metro is Scott? But I think the US definition of metro is quite different to the Aus definition.
There is no way you could do 80mph in any metropolitan area of Australia, nor would a sane person want to.

80 mph is the minimum allowable speed in all parts of Atlanta, highways and city streets alike. During the quarantine, "super speeder" tickets (something like 90+ mph) have gone through the roof.

Pretty much... It's not the law but it's standard practice.

Yes, for safety. Being slower than traffic makes you an obstacle.

That's the Speed Limit in South Dakota. The difference between South East and Mid west I suppose.

There was a video I saw that explained that people who go atleast 5mph Over the posted Speed limit are actually safer than the person doing at or below posted speed limit. he did a good job explaining it - especially in a 4 lane highway ( 2 lane either way).

Troubleshooting a supposed fix for XOCE, but I'm thinking it's a config issue on the reporters side as we already handle the thing that has been reported as needing to be added.
TL:DR I'm doing a new install of XOCE to prove a point.

I'm pretty sure I can summarize it as, "No one is expecting one person to be doing 50 in a 65, GTFOff the road"

That's Pretty close; But it was more like
Person A drives 70 in a 65, and Person B drive 60 in 65- Person A can move around Person B easier because he's moving 10 MPH faster than Person B making it Safer for him to Pass -So in other words, If youre not going to do within 5mph over the posted Speed limit, GTF Off the Road.

Yeah that makes sense, sadly person A shouldn't be forced to move around person B. If person B wants to drive stupidly slow, A get a Uber/Lyft to drive for you and save on the car payment/insurance or B stay in the appropriate lane.

exactly, now if both Person A and Person B were to be driving 70 in a 65 on a 4 lane highway- They would be able to maintain the 2-4 Second Distance, and would both be more safe.
Plus - and I speak for NE here: if you get a ticket for less than or equal to 5mph over cops are just trying to reach a quota, and it's gonna me a tiny ticket.
6 and Above is typically when you get pulled over, So You can get away with going 70 in a 65, Hell Cops here do 10 over just driving around on regular streets. -
