Has anyone read or played this yet? It looks pretty sweet, but I'm not sure I want to drop $40 sight-unseen, and no local shop around here is going to carry it. If not this, have you played another GUMSHOE-powered game? |

There's some freebie Cthulhu material at the chaosium site if you're looking for material..

QUOTE (Synner667 @ Mar 12 2008, 02:34 PM)  There's some freebie Cthulhu material at the chaosium site if you're looking for material.. Not really what I'm after, but thanks. I'm just trying to find someone that can give me their take on whether this system is really worth grabbing, or if it is entirely built around the precept of solving problems that didn't really exist. |

I've been hoping somebody'd respond to this thread. I'm a bit interested in this game as well, but have been trying to not buy games that I know I won't have time to play anytime soon. There's a relevant thread over on RPG.net discussing the merits of the game that might be worth a look.

There's the problem.. gamers unwilling to drop mass loads of cash, sight unseen, at games with things they may or may not like.
/sarcasm Thanks for the link to that. I wanted another review, though one of my friends has already recommended the system, I don't have the mad cash to drop on just anything that's Cthulhu related anymore. |

Thanks for the link to the RPG.net thread. Reading some of the posts over there, it seems I'm not the only one with misgivings.
