The Sleuth’s Report: Emerald City Stories
Seattle. City of Clouds. The Emerald City.. This city goes by many names. To those who live in this beautiful City by the Sea, it's simply "Home." Home to families, friends, doctors, lawyers, business owners. Also home to criminals—rapists, murderers, sex traffickers, child exploiters. Somewhere among those business owners and criminals are the detectives who live each day trying to keep this city of many names safe. These are the stories of those detectives...
Premise
The Sleuth’s Report is a modern-day detective roleplay set in Seattle, Washington. This will be an open world roleplay with guided support when needed.
You will play as detectives in the Seattle PD—free to decide where to go, who to talk to, what to investigate, and when.
I’ll be here to help guide you as needed through NPC interaction and story direction.
These are your stories, written in real time as you go. Every choice you make matters. Every action has consequences.
Now Recruiting: 4 Detective Players
This is an episodic roleplay. Each investigation will be its own self-contained story that we roleplay through to the end.
Once one case is solved, a new episode begins with a brand-new crime, setting, and mystery.
I will play the Chief of Police and handle NPCs to help support your work as detectives.
Basic Roleplay Guidelines
- 1. Respect the Story and Each Other
This is a collaborative effort. Don’t jump ahead, control other characters without permission, or post without regard for others' pacing. - 2. No Metagaming
You're detectives—not psychics. You don’t magically know who the killer is or what someone will say.
Leave NPC actions and revelations to me unless stated otherwise. - 3. Quality Over Quantity
I’d much rather see one thoughtful, detailed post than a bunch of rushed, shallow ones.
Keep things immersive and well-written. - 4. Teamwork is Key
You’re part of a unit. Coordinate with your fellow players—use PMs to plan scenes and combine posts.
Working together makes for better storytelling and deeper engagement. - 5. Have Fun
This is a game. If you’re not having fun, let me know—because that means I’m not having fun either.
Let’s work together to make this exciting and memorable for everyone.

Detective Character Sheet
“Some of us carry badges. Some carry scars. Most carry both.”
Once all CS are posted, I will randomly choose one CS - that CS will be the Lead Detective starting our Role Play. I will randomly pick each CS thereafter for each Rank. Depending on things with, and in the Role Play, there are possibilities of being promoted Ranks!
Here is a link to the manual for the Seattle PD for reference.
Let me know if there are any questions, or suggestions!
