Riassunto:

Trail of Cthulhu is a new standalone GUMSHOE system game under license to Chaosium, set in the 1930s. It supports both Pulp (for Indiana Jones, Robert E. Howard, thrilling locations sorts of games) and Purist styles of play(for intellectual horror and cosmic dread). HP Lovecrafts work combined both, sometimes in the same story. It includes a new take on the creatures, cults and gods of the Lovecrafts literature, and addresses their use in gaming. It adds new player backgrounds, and bulk out the GUMSHOE system to give intensive support for sanity, incorporating into the rule set the PCs desire to explore at the risk of going mad. Trail of Cthulhu won two Ennie awards for Best Rules and Best Writing, as well as receiving an honourable mention for Product of the Year.

Recensione: Trail of Cthulhu takes a fresh look at Lovecrafts Mythos with a strong focus on investigation, excellent writing, and plenty of play support. Style: 5 (Excellent!) Substance: 4 (Meaty) --CW Richeson, rpg.net

Overall, this is a masterful melding of the Gumshoe system with classic Cthulhu Mythos gaming, an inspired match. Theres so much goodness in this that Ill be back again and again, not just to play but to mine for ideas whatever I am doing --Megan Robertson, One Book Shelf
