GUMSHOE for Foundry VTT

Website

The Official GUMSHOE system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop. GUMSHOE is a system for tabletop roleplaying games which focuses on investigation and adventure. It powers many award-winning games, like Trail of Cthulhu, Night's Black Agents, and Mutant City Blues.

This project was started as personal/fan project in 2021. Pelgrane Press have since blessed it as the official Foundry VTT adaptation of the GUMSHOE system.

It's almost a meta-system - a toolbox that can be used to support anything using the core GUMSHOE engine. But it also ships with one-click support for all the main GUMSHOE games, like Trail of Cthulhu, Night's Black Agents, and Mutant City Blues.

Website

To support their 2024 crowdfunding campaign for Trail of Cthulhu 2nd Edition, Pelgrane Press asked me to create a Foundry module adaptation of the Quickstart rules. This includes:

  • A new character sheet theme, built to match the "trade dress" of the official print character sheet.
  • The text and artwork of the Quickstart PDF, converted into a Foundry Journal will full internal hyperlinking.
  • A hyperlinked version of the Quickstart adventure, "Stranger Shores".
  • A roster of pre-generated player characters, ready to play.
  • Thematic scene map made from freely-available materials.

Neil is a very elder millennial who remembers the good old days of the internet when “writing a website” meant cranking out HTML by hand, so of course he built this website himself.

Because people sometimes ask - here's why I chose the name "Lumphammer"

There's a Colophon, if you want to know the what this site is made of in unnecessary and frankly indulgent detail.
