Something for Bookhounds everywhere. 🙂
Had the 2nd session of our 12th and final scenario in our Bookhounds of London campaign yesterday. Man it has been a ride. Mostly with the same characters. Pembroke’s Auld Curiosities has been Homebase for 13 years in game time and 10+ years in play time. And now the end begins.

Bookhounds of London, the setting for Trail of Cthulhu. A result of that is my Fearful Symmetries explicitly avoids London, but still has to give an in game reason why this is so.

Trail of Cthulhu (and Bookhounds of London, Cthulhu City, a few others). The GUMSHOE game that hooked me. Currently playing in a Fearful Symmetries campaign.

Me too! I know Trail better than the others, I've run and loved Final Revelation. I'll probably read BookHounds and Armitage Files next.
Any non-Trail favourites?

142) Bookhounds of London. Wonderful Trail setting where you are all seedy booksellers in 1930s London, struggling to make a living while accidentally stumbling into occult horrors and degenerate aristocrats. Has the grubby feel of a good Warren Ellis comic.
