Finished running Hammer of the Gods, a new Trail of Cthulhu 2e pulp scenario and it went down well.
Two investigators flayed and eaten, one prematurely aged to dust and the last escaped gibbering into the cold night air.
Of course, being Pulp there were Nazis and their arses were kicked

#WhatWereReading : "the Montgomery's money was so old, it has Moses's teeth marks on it."
Joe loved Denise Mina's new take on Chandler's classic gumshoe noir, Philip Marlowe. Now out in paperback from
Vintage Books
@synallia beaucoup de #JdR ont complètement renversé le problème.
Par exemple les #PbtA considèrent que le résultat négatif d'un jet n'indique pas nécessairement un échec mais une complication qui survient. Je trouve la porte secrète, mais en faisant un bruit qui réveille le monstre derrière.
D'autres systèmes de jeu sont totalement dédiés à l'enquête. L'enjeu n'est jamais si l'information sera découverte mais comment. Voir #Gumshoe, #BrindlewoodBay, ou #MagistratsEtManigances.
#introduction time.
Malan here. For the last 30 years (with a little breaks) I have been running #ttrpg games, fav being #magetheascetion, #callofcthulhu #wfrp or #gumshoe.
I study #cinematography #filmmaking
Really hope to get comfy here, as I find regular social media to be pure un-social.
Free spirit. He/him

After all those years, I've finally got to start a campaign of @robindlaws's #DreamhoundsofParis! It's set in 1929 with Dali, Picasso, Eluard, Magritte and Artaud, and for this 1st session, a short one after explaining #TrailofCthulhu, #Gumshoe and the characters, we managed to get a lot of drama as an introduction session. That bodes so well for the rest of the campaign. Besides, my players are really into the surrealists, which helps a lot. @pelgranepress @foundryvtt #ttrpg #rpg
Deal of the day at drive thru is Trail of Cthulhu for $5.

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 26: My favourite character sheet is from the French translation of #Bubblegumshoe. Beside being clear, useful and doing the job, it's also very colorful and very pretty to look at. The picture here shows both recto-verso and that character sheet can also be folded in 3 for better ease of use. @evilhat #KennethHite #EmilyCareBoss @portesimaginaire #Gumshoe #ttrpg #rpg #jdr #RPGaDAY
Me having fun running #SwordsoftheSerpentine at our #rpg club's monthly get together, with some of the players here being newcomers to the #ttrpg hobby (spoiler alert: they had a lot of fun!) @Multiplexer @KevinKulp @pelgranepress #SerpentineRPG #Gumshoe #jdr

"Favorite game system?"
I really enjoy running #TrailofCthulhu based on @robindlaws' #Gumshoe system.
I was a huge fan of #xfiles as a kid. Ever since, I enjoy running supernatural horror mysteries.
Gumshoe comes with a simple yet brilliant idea: investigators' skills are divided into those that players have to roll (like Driving and Shooting) and those that ALWAYS work (everything used to gather clues).
It's a deceptively simple, yet utterly brilliant idea.
#RPGaDAY2023 Day 20: In 20 years' time, I'll most certainly still be running #NightsBlackAgents, and I've been at it for 10 years already. Beyond the #Gumshoe system that I love, I'm a sucker for (see what I did here?) spy stories and technothrillers, with or without vampires. Moreover, this game can easily adapt to the everchanging geopolitical situations around us from the angle of secret agents. Besides, this #ttrpg is absolutely awesome! #rpg #jdr @pelgrane Press #KennethHite #RPGaDAY
#RPGaDAY2023 Day 19: My favourite published adventure is #DraculaDossier for #NightsBlackAgents. Its highly sandboxy format makes it the most replayable and thrilling campaign I know. I've run it several times and not one session was ever similar to any other ones. Besides, it has a lot of very useful handouts, companion books and side adventures. @kennethhite @Mytholder @pelgranepress #Gumshoe #ttrpg #rpg #jdr #RPGaDAY
#RPGaDAY2023 Day 18: My favourite #ttrpg system is #Gumshoe hands down. It is both simple to use and versatile enough to be tailored for various fiction and #rpg genres. Its focus on investigation while making the PCs skilled and capable is typically the kind of games I enjoy. It's then no wonder it's been love at first sight with many @PelgranePress games for more than a decade! #RPGaDAY #JdR
Rumor confirmed that Trail of Cthulhu Second Edition is now in the works. As much as I love this game, it needs a new edition. The advice it gives is outdated and often confuses new players. It also needs a more newbie friendly adventure. (Apologies to Ken Hite, I like the adventure in Trail but it is too advanced.)
I've fallen into that #LandingPage rabbit hole, it was doomed to happen eventually, considering @foundryvtt and @dungeonalchemi1's powerful potential. Here's a WIP for my upcoming #SwordsoftheSerpentine campaign, which I hope to launch online in a couple of weeks. @pelgranepress @Multiplexer @KevinKulp #ttrpg #rpg #jdr #SerpentineRPG #Gumshoe
