An Introduction

GUMSHOE is the game engine humming inside a collection of

sleek, focused horror and investigation RPGs. It is a precision

instrument, designed to tell stories through roleplaying by giving

players a greater degree of control over the moments when their

characters succeed. In part, it does this by removing the random

element in investigative scenarios and replacing it with that core

element of all good gameplay: decision making.

Trail of Cthulhu also supports two distinct styles of play, so you

can face Lovecraftian horrors exactly the way you want to. In the

Purist mode of play, investigators are fragile, wary souls whose

sanity is finite and always in peril of being blasted away to nothing

by the unearthly truths to which they expose themselves. You

can also play Trail of Cthulhu is the Pulp style, throwing punches

at sinister cultists and emptying Tommy guns into the drooling

maws of mythos creatures. Each style of play is a simple matter

of degree, so learn one simple set of rules and you’re ready to

play either way.

In a GUMSHOE scenario, the question isn’t whether you

can find the clues in some kind of randomized equivalent of a

pixel hunt. Rather, your characters—presumed to be capable

investigators—are assured to find the clues they need. The

question becomes whether you can piece those clues together

in time to solve the dramatic, and often horrific, mysteries your

characters confront.

You’ll need the Trail of Cthulhu rulebook to play this adventure,

but you’ll find the format of GUMSHOE adventures is so clear

and concise that you can appreciate this scenario even if you

haven’t yet read the rulebook.

Whether you’re looking for a game centered on bold detectives

scouring dark places for the truth behind occult crimes, or

you want to recreate the sweaty desperation of survival horror

movies, in which ordinary people face extraordinary terror,

there’s a GUMSHOE game to create the perfect experience.

THE ESOTERRORISTS

You might be afraid to face the Esoterrorists.You should be. But

they must be stopped. It’s up to you.

The bold and intriguing debut of the GUMSHOE system, The

Esoterrorists is a complete investigative horror game from RPG

mastermind, Robin D. Laws. As part of a global conspiracy

called Ordo Veritatis, your expert detective character pursues

and confronts occult

terrorists wherever

they lurk. If you don’t

stop them, they’ll shape

reality to their insane

whims, warping the

world into a vision of

horror in which the

viciously mad are kings

and good people live in

fear.

TRAIL OF CTHULHU

In the tradition of the RPG classic, Call of Cthulhu , comes

fan-favorite author Ken Hite’s adaptation of the game for the

GUMSHOE system: Trail of Cthulhu . If you’re reading this, you have

some idea what this game is, or will soon. Probably you enough

about the Cthulhu mythos tales of H.P. Lovecraft to understand

that the perils of following the trail of Cthulhu are madness and

death, and that it’s the selfless bravery of the investigators who

dare to face the withering

existential truths of the

cosmos that makes them

heroic.

What you may not know,

yet, is what makes Trail

of Cthulhu distinctive,

beyond just a new kind of

game rules and a ten-year

time shift to the 1930s.

Beyond the specially

honed investigative

rules common to all

GUMSHOE games, this

game features simple

new ways to humanize

investigator characters

and detail their motives

and personalities. In

game terms, these are

their Drives, Pillars of Sanity, and Sources of Stability.

Your weapons? Cunning,

reason, courage, and

the truth. Use the clues

you discover, combined

with your knowledge

and exposure to

occult truths, to solve

the mysteries of the

esoterrorists, fight their crimes, and avenge the dead. Sometimes

that means outwitting the enemy, sometimes it means shooting

him dead.

The Esoterrorists is a razor-sharp roleplaying game of mystery

and the occult, with concrete guidelines to get you designing

your own compelling investigative scenarios right away. Inside

you’ll discover the secret ambitions of the loosely-aligned
