Here's a very early, or extremely late, Christmas present for the lovely GMs among you - my latest case file, The Ghost of Christmas Presents!

Hi Paul,
just finished running The Funhouse Bodies and we all had a great time.
Luckily I rolled poorly on behalf of the big bad, else my investigators would’ve been toast!
We only play fortnightly and real life has intruded a bit recently, so we didn’t finish Speed Demons by Halloween, but Funhouse Bodies is still on the list!
If we’ve finished Speed Demons by Halloween, I was planning on running The Funhouse Bodies (https://pauljfisher.com/rpg-casefiles/the-funhouse-mummy/) by Paul Fisher, but set in a Ghost Train ride, rather than a fun house.
Take some inspiration from the various CSI TV shows - they’re in the thick of the action all the time!
Also think of ways that the characters’ scientific skills, education and intelligence can be used in non-forensic situations (even if it’s just plain old researching).
I’ve been trawling the net for more RoL:RPG case files and have found these two, written by Paul Fisher, on Reddit. They’re very good!

Yeah, I take your point about not having the spells on the player side. Maybe a mix of cool artwork and text boxes with the 4 E's and such interspersed, just to provide inspiration to the players if they get stuck.
