I was answering a question over on the Traveller group and rediscovered this link so I figured I should share. :-)

The GMless Mystery Explainer
Several times in GMless games I've encountered the situation where one player creates a mystery, other players feed the mystery because it's so damn attractive and mysterious, and then no one's willing to explain the mystery because it's too gosh-darn big and intimidating. ( called this the black hole of GMless games and it's a good name for several reasons.)

To help get games out of that pickle, I've tested and developed this: the GMless Mystery Explainer. If your game develops a mystery and everyone's shying away from actually revealing any of it, then you can bring this out mid-game. You fill it out as far as you can and then follow the steps to reveal the mystery as part of the game (because it's no fun everyone stopping, figuring out the mystery outside the game and then trying to inject it that info back into the story). 

So what this is, in truth, is a way of allocating responsibility to different players for them each to take a step forwards in explaining the mystery so the reveal can be enjoyed as part of the game.

There are two versions (so you can print it out double-sided). A 'Questions' version which provides a slower reveal as individual players take the responsibility to start linking unexplained events together. There's also a quicker 'Rumours' version where the players come up with their own theories, but are randomly allocated which are true. The players then have the responsibility to bring these facts into the story in order.

Feedback or anecdotes from games where you've used it are welcome.
