GUMSHOE System

The GUMSHOE System was designed by Robin D. Laws for running investigative, clue-finding games:

  • The Esoterrorists and Fear Itself by Robin D. Laws, based on the Book of Unremitting Horror by Adrian Bott and Dave Allsop
  • Trail of Cthulhu by Kenneth Hite
  • Mutant City Blues, a near-future gritty police procedural Superhero setting by Robin Laws
  • Ashen Stars, a darkly rebooted investigative Space Opera setting by Robin Laws
  • Night's Black Agents, a game of action and espionage in a vampiric setting by Ken Hite
  • TimeWatch, an investigative time travel game by Kevin Kulp
  • Fall of Delta Green, a forthcoming GUMSHOE game by Ken Hite set in the 1960s period of the Delta Green RPG setting

GUMSHOE One-2-One is a re-imagining of the GUMSHOE system for one player, one GM gaming.

  • Cthulhu Confidential

The Gaean Reach RPG and the forthcoming Yellow King RPG each combine elements with other system elements, including Skulduggery systems in the Gaean Reach and GUMSHOE One-2-One elements in The Yellow King. Similarly, Lorefinder grafts GUMSHOE investigative elements onto Paizo's Pathfinder RPG.

Awards

Pelgrane Press has won a large number[2] of Gen Con EN World RPG Awards (the “ENnies”), including Fan's Choice and Best Publisher:[3]

  • 2014: Best Adventure (1st), Best Production Values (2nd), Best Rules (2nd)[4]

Press coverage has noted Pelgrane's outsized ability to accomplish significant output despite its stature:

Pelgrane are a relatively small company in comparison to some of the other contenders and seeing them sweep the awards shelf is great. They are proof that at least in the table top world, quality products can still conquer the world.[2]
