The Gumshoe System (stylised as ''The GUMSHOE System'') is a role-playing game system created 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. Of the games in the line, Trail of Cthulhu won the 2010 Lucca Games award for best role playing game〔(RPG Geek profile of Trail of Cthulhu )〕 and Ashen Stars was a 2011 nominee for the Origins Award for best RPG.〔(RPG Geek profile of Ashen Stars )〕 ==Concept== The ''Gumshoe System'' is designed around the idea that investigative scenarios are difficult to run with most role-playing systems. The problem is identified as important clues being missed due to failed dice-rolls, resulting in play grinding to a halt. The ''Gumshoe System'' is designed to solve this by making the game not about finding clues, but about interpreting them. Attention is given to designing investigative scenarios, while at the same time the focus is put on encouraging the players to take control of the investigation (and, thereby, the story being told). The ''Gumshoe System'' is player-centric, putting die rolling in the hands of the players whenever possible. Non-player character abilities either modify the roll made by the player, or succeeds or fails depending on what the game master finds dramatically appropriate. Direct conflict between characters, such as combat, is an exception. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GUMSHOE System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
