Judgement & Justice: A 5e Hack

There are many fantastic TTRPGs that make sense to use as a base system for court-drama gameplay.

Dungeons & Dragons is not one of them. 

But when you're dozens of sessions into a D&D campaign and your party gets in legal trouble, what's a DM to do?

Enter Judgement & Justice: a campy, lightweight supplemental framework for D&D 5e that enables players to take on the role of defense attorneys and prosecutors locked in a battle for truth. Investigate crime scenes, puzzle over clues, cross-examine witnesses, and most importantly, shout "OBJECTION!" at the top of your lungs! 

What you get: 12 pages of rules for crafting your very own Ace-Attorney-style mystery,  complete with suggestions for building a defense and prosecution team, running investigation scenes, managing a court record, and of course, running the final high-stakes showdown in court.

What I get: Your comments and shares, if you please. Your dollars, if you're feeling generous. Most of all, the feeling of satisfaction that somebody is getting a kick out of the goofy Ace-Attorney-themed 5e hack that I made but which no one asked for.

Note: this supplement was designed with D&D 5e in mind, but most likely can be adapted to any similar roleplaying system that supports rolling dice to determine the success or failure of a given action. If you decide to try running J&J with a non-D&D base system, let me know how it goes!
