⏱️ What is TimeWatch?

TimeWatch is a time-traveling investigative RPG powered by the GUMSHOE system. Players are elite chronal agents protecting history from paradoxes, temporal invaders, and butterfly effects gone rogue. Think Doctor Who meets Men in Black with a dash of The Time Machine and Edge of Tomorrow.

This is a game about:

• Fixing broken timelines and undoing sabotage
• Fighting temporal threats like psychic velociraptors and rogue time travelers
• Smart investigation with clever uses of chronotech
• Causality chaos, time loops, and alternate selves

🎲 How Does It Play?

TimeWatch uses the GUMSHOE investigative system:

• Investigative Abilities auto-succeed if you have the right skill. The tension lies in what you do with the clue.
• General Abilities use a d6 + points spend. Roll high to succeed (usually 8+).
• Chronal abilities like Paradox Prevention and Reality Anchor help you stay sane and unravel twisted time plots.
• Preparedness lets you retroactively decide you packed the right gadget—a perfect match for temporal agents.
• Stitches are the narrative currency for teamwork, bold moves, and timeline manipulation.

🌀 Temporal Shenanigans

TimeWatch excels at:

• Time travel tricks like jumping back mid-scene to plant evidence or rescue yourself
• Causality puzzles where the effect might appear before the cause
• Timeline reboots, memory wipes, splintered realities, and paradox predators

Missions often hop between centuries, empires, and critical turning points in history.

🧭 Why You Should Play

This game is:

• Brilliantly flexible: Go anywhere, anywhen, with high-stakes history.
• Narratively clever: Your choices literally reshape timelines.
• Cooperative and cinematic: Agents shine brightest when improvising together.
• Brainy fun: If you like twisting logic puzzles and historical what-ifs, TimeWatch delivers.

Perfect for fans of sci-fi mystery, fast pacing, and rule-of-cool timeline hijinks.
