The GUMSHOE System

I already had the Esoterrorists core book from a trade a few months ago. It reminded me a little of Delta Green and a little of X-Files. Neither of which is a bad thing. The system is pretty easy to pick up and character creation is a breeze.

We've got a review of some of the Gumshoe books on Flames Rising already. Grim takes a look at Esoterrorists, Fear Itself and The Book of Unremitting Horror that he picked up at Gencon UK.

In today's mail was Trail of Cthulhu, Stunning Eldritch Tales, Albion's Ransom and Profane Miracles. Quite the haul, it might take me a bit to get through all of them.

Albion's Ransom and Profane Miracles are adventures for Esoterrorists. I will probably review Stunning Eldritch Tales first, but I'm not completely sure. So far, they all look pretty cool, so it is difficult to pick just one of them. I've been flipping through all of them at random and digging into different chapters.

I'll keep you posted when they go up on the site. In the mean-time I've been posting about the books on forums and telling folks how cool these games are.
