I know everyone wants to see behind the mystery door of the dementors, but does anyone else think this might have some serious side effects? I feel like we should have squeezed at least one action doing research on them just to make sure we weren't going to scramble our brain or soul or something when we look at one of these things. I'm also working on a list of ideas for equipment that would be useful to create / obtain for future adventures.

I agree that a Random Encounter would be nice, but if we do so, we have to drop either the werewolves, the animagus, or Lupin.
Well the bag of holding is always useful, and also the flying broom.
I think that learning about werewolves more deeply could be extremely useful when dealing with one... And remember that Snape focus was almost entirely in indentifying werewolves so that someone could identify Lupin as one...
could we take away one of the personal actions to gain back two normal actions?
and use one for a random encounter and the other to go look at dementors with the goggles?
8 personal actions seems like enough to get the goggles and learn some spells.
it's probably better to not have our first look at dementors with the goggles when we're dealing with the sirius

Covers using the Lupin resource, doing our own research, good spell list. Only thing it's missing is the Free Action of writing Dad, who I'm sure would be interested in Jacob indirectly pursuing JUSTICE. @Fanhunter696 think you could edit that in?

You know, on second thought, I think you may be right. Jacob already knows plenty about Werewolves, he likely had Snape's lesson, and even then is DADA grade has him knowing more about DADA than most 6th years. The important thing for him to know is that Lupin is a Werewolf, and he has known that for months now. The only other thing he needs to know about to tie the puzzle pieces together are about Animagi, which is covered in my plan
Anyone against me changing my plan around to remove the bit about researching Werewolves? If I do so I will probably remove the Random Encounter as well to add another Personal Action and put that on learning more Spells. What are the thoughts on that?

Researching specifics of Werewolves can't hurt.
Nah I like that the plan has a random encounter. Best not to completely detach from reality even if obsession lets us.

We've had it though it's not specified what they were taught. I can't recall several instances of Snape teaching DADA in book 3 though:
Also Jacob went through the book himself:

I'd change my vote to Goggles on Find Black if it changed 'research werewolves' to a Lupin action. On a meta note, butterflies mean Lupin isn't particularly likely to forget to take his medicine this go round—it was a bit of an asspull in canon anyway.
Thanks for the reminder Edkose.

Noted.
With the recent info provided by Edkose, it doesn't make much sense to research werewolves when Jacob has already done so IC. Therefore, I'm changing the Werewolf research action to going to see Lupin. He went to school with both Pettigrew and Black after all, maybe a meeting with him can help provide context for Jacob.
So, I'm replacing the werewolf research option with the following:
-[] Overdrive applicable: Do Something! Visit with Professor Lupin - Lupin is the one person in the castle that has intimate knowledge of Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. Perhaps he can help make the pieces of this mystery fall into place.

I'll be honest, I think that talking to Lupin is probably going to be just a little more than a waste of time.
We haven't particularly bonded with him and he probably underestimates Jacob's abilities.
And, considering the personality of our character, it is probable that a visit to Lupin will be either limited to discovering if his friends were Animagi and, if we succeed, maybe even what animal Peter trasformed into (but if we fail we get absolutely nothing), or maybe something we will do when things are basically over to show him specifically that we were actually capable.
I doubt a maps cross checking will happen, because I don't think Jacob would tell about his and Lupin will continue to hide the Marauder one, and, without that, we really can't convince Lupin to help in catching Peter anyway.

Definitely agree on the portable storage, I was thinking something like a utility belt. I was also thinking it would be a good idea to make an enchanted notebook to securely write our notes in and organize them. As a more immediate thought, I think it would be cool if our goggles were shaped like optometrists glasses. That way we could slot in different enchanted lenses. I love the idea of multi use enchanted items.
The reason that I want to talk to remus is because Jacob doesn't know that peter is an animagus and can only learn this from remus or sirius. Learning it from remus earlier would make it so that peter is revealed earlier, making it harder for him to escape and also letting more people know about him.
and it could also lead to us getting something like hagrid's friendship from remus/sirius.

OK after reading the discussion about werewolves I have decided to change the Werewolf action for a random encounter...
Now the only difference between [] Plan Goggles On, Find Black from @ShyGuy and mine is that I focus the rest of the Personal actions in spell learning...

why wouldn't jacob show his map as proof?
that would just be hindering his investigation.
and remus has already underestimated Jacob with the patronus, we can use that to show that he's wrong to do so.

We actually don't need Lupin for that. The clues are all already on the table and Jacob will already try to find what kind of pet Ron has with him, because that is the most likely culprit.
Also, honestly, what you want to do with Lupin is something we can ask Sirius about. Jacob just has to Say to a dog he already saw before that he knows that Peter is alive and that he is probably an Animagus posing as a school pet.
Because, to Jacob, it would be like giving the ending of his case to another person, and one he doesn't like particularly, just before finishing it.
Also, from Jacob point of view, why Lupin should believe him?

tablet?
are you talking about the map?
that doesn't mention anything about peter being an animagus.
And that would work if we were earlier, however we are at the end of the year, so we will probably find him around the same time as harry and them. And the first thing that sirius does when he finds peter is try to kill him, which is what led to peter escaping. Finding out earlier prevents that from happening.
and while we may not having bonded with remus, we are a complete stranger to sirius, the chances of Sirius telling us anything is much lower compared to remus.
