Los Angeles, 1948...   Everybody used magic.


"If you were sensitive at all, the air would crackle in your ears like wax paper.
Things are in flux. The auras are bad. Me, I'm going to Florida."

The Legwork skill:
In the pre Computer era the Legwork skill, allows a character to learn the same things one can learn with a computer and the Computers skill  in the modern age. But it requires actually going to big libraries, public records offices, and newspaper archives and doing the research rather then hacking into them and pulling up the information on a screen.

Use Intelligence and Legwork to get access to information, with a penalty similar to the Computer hacking for levels of security. Use Perception and Legwork to figure out the best place to go for the needed information and who to talk to once there. Contacts and Clout levels can add to Legwork rolls.
