Who Would You One-2-One With Over The Holidays, Ruth Tillman?

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 GUMSHOE One-2-One author Ruth Tillman’s choice:

Kerry Greenwood’s irrepressable Miss Phryne Fisher, as so ably portrayed by Essie Davis, is my dream One-2-One player. Her willingness to ask “why not?” and simply dive in through a window would create the perfect table atmosphere where all bets are off, even with a tightly-written scenario. Fortunately, the author just wouldn’t care because you’d both be having such a good time. Phryne would somehow manage to make even the most basic use of Flattery a Push. She’d would always go for an Extra Problem if she thought she might pick up an Edge and follow up to ensure the folks hurt during the scenario got everything sorted out at the end. Her jazz age soundtrack would easily fit in with the noir feel of Cthulhu Confidential and, while she’s never met a mythos horror before, you can’t tell me she wouldn’t stare it down over her tiny pistol–probably before making the sanity-saving choice to flee.
