WEG or d20 Murder mystery?

By Tocath, in Game Masters

So, my campaign is blending official published adventures with a much longer homebrew arc.

During Beyond the Rim, the PCs discovered the Ebon Hawk- buried underground and untouched for centuries. Since then, a string of brutal murders have followed them on each planet they visit, leading up to their arrest by Lando Calrissian just after they completed the Jewel of Yavin.

The next session(s) will be running an investigation to clear their names!

Are there any WEG / D20 or Saga adventures that center around a murder investigation? I'd love to borrow some set pieces, characters, clues, etc.

I don't have any specific adventures that I can think of, though there are murder mystery games that could be useful. I will suggest the below link that I have found very useful when dealing with the sticky issues of clues in RPG.

This is great stuff, and actually highlights an issue I've been wondering how to tackle. Thanks for the link!

Now that I think about it, there was a scenario (Saga Edition?) run at Gen Con called Murder on the Executor. It's still available online if you google it.

Murder on the Executor? Were they strangled to death? It's still early in the investigation, but I have a pretty darn short list of suspects already...
