Who Would You One-2-One With Over the Holidays, Kevin Kulp?

confidential2Cthulhu Confidential, the flagship title for GUMSHOE One-2-One, is now available for pre-order! GUMSHOE One-2-One is designed for two players: a GM and a player who takes the role of a solo investigator, solving Mythos mysteries. In Cthulhu Confidential our PCs are hard-boiled shamus Dex Raymond, investigative journalist Vivian Sinclair, and private eye Langston Montgomery Wright.

We asked the Pelgranistas—as well as some friends of Pelgrane—which fictional characters they’d most like to have a GUMSHOE One-2-One mystery adventure with. This is TimeWatcher Kevin Kulp’s:

Constable Peter Grant

A young half-British, half-West African officer with London’s Metropolitan Police, Constable Peter Grant is on a miserable overnight stakeout when he learns that there’s such things as ghosts. He’s soon recruited into the one-person branch of the Met that deals with magic and the supernatural. Before he knows it he’s negotiating a peace deal between the bickering gods of London’s many rivers, solving horrendous supernatural crimes, and training to be the first new apprentice wizard in over 70 years.
Peter is eminently practical, looking at the supernatural through the eye of science and deconstructing what generations of wizards have taken for granted. For all that he’s not a particularly talented wizard, his stubbornness and talent as a good cop pay off. He tries to use good, solid police work and investigation work to forestall supernatural horror and tragedy — if not always successfully.
Peter Grant appears in Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series, beginning with the novel Rivers of London (Midnight Riot in the US). He’d be a superb character in a Cthulhu Confidential game; his dogged stubbornness, reliance on proper protocol, and nearly unique ability to combine mystical knowledge with traditional police work make him an ideal person to encounter Lovecraftian mysteries and monstrosities without losing his sense of self.
