The Gumshoe System (stylised as The GUMSHOE System) is a role-playing game system created in 2007 by Robin Laws, designed for running investigative scenarios. The premise is that investigative games are not about finding clues, they are about interpreting the clues that are found. The Gumshoe System is used in various games published by Pelgrane Press.[1] As a result of the Hillfolk kickstarter, the SRD for the Gumshoe System has been made available for use under two open licenses: the Open Game License (OGL) and Creative Commons Attribution.[2]
Of the games in the line, Trail of Cthulhu won the 2010 Lucca Games award for best role-playing game[3] and Ashen Stars was a 2011 nominee for the Origins Award for best RPG.[4]
