GUMSHOE system

The GUMSHOE system is a tabletop role-playing game framework designed to focus on detective and investigation stories. Its key feature is that players always have the necessary clues to move the story forward, ensuring there are no frustrating dead ends. Unlike traditional systems that rely on chance for discovering clues, GUMSHOE emphasizes logical investigation, with players using their skills to find important evidence. This creates a smoother, more narrative-driven experience where uncovering information feels natural, allowing for immersive storytelling and strategic decision-making while maintaining a sense of realism and momentum in investigations.
