The GUMSHOE System is a role-playing framework designed specifically for investigative adventures. Unlike traditional RPG systems where failed dice rolls can stall a mystery, GUMSHOE guarantees that if a character has the relevant investigative ability, they automatically uncover the key clue, ensuring the story always moves forward. Players must still interpret what the information means and decide how to act on it. Players spend points from their investigative pools to gain extra detail, advantages, or deeper insights.
GUMSHOE One-2-One is a version designed specifically for games with one player and a Games Master.
