In October 2022 we revived the April 2020 Cthulhu Confidential Bundle featuring the GUMSHOE One-2-One game lines from Pelgrane Press. Guided by a Game Moderator, one solitary player becomes the sole protagonist in suspenseful investigative adventures – noir nightscapes right out of the Cthulhu Mythos and superspy espionage.
One-2-One is a fast-paced head-to-head version of the popular GUMSHOE system by Robin D. Laws. GUMSHOE games are designed for scenarios of detection and crime-solving. In a typical RPG, bad skill rolls may mean you miss a vital clue and send the entire investigation off track. In the GUMSHOE System, the player will find the clues; the important thing is figuring out what they mean. Play a mystery scenario in a GUMSHOE game and you’ll never go back.
This revival once again presented most of the One-2-One line for a bargain price. The tarter Collection (retail value $46) included the complete standalone 328-page Cthulhu Confidential rulebook and three investigations: The Howling Fog, The House Up in the Hills, and One For the Money.
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got this revival’s entire Bonus Collection with five more titles worth an additional $53, including the complete 282-page rulebook for Solo Ops, Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan’s standalone adaptation of Kenneth Hite’s vampire-espionage GUMSHOE game Night’s Black Agents; the first Solo Ops investigation, The Best of Intentions; and three more Cthulhu Confidential adventures: High Voltage Kill, Ex Astoria, and The Shadow Over Washington.
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) for this Cthulhu Confidential revival went to the pandemic-related charity designated by Pelgrane Press, Cochrane Reports. Cochrane maintains a Covid-19 resource page for policy developers that describes up-to-date clinical best practices in multiple languages.
