The GUMSHOE System was designed by Robin D. Laws for running investigative, clue-finding games:
GUMSHOE One-2-One is a re-imagining of the GUMSHOE system for one player, one GM gaming.
The Gaean Reach RPG and the Yellow King RPG each combine elements with other system elements, including Skulduggery systems in the Gaean Reach and GUMSHOE One-2-One elements in The Yellow King. Similarly, Lorefinder grafts GUMSHOE investigative elements onto Paizo's Pathfinder RPG.
Pelgrane Press has won a large number[3] of Gen Con EN World RPG Awards (the “ENnies”), including the Silver Ennie for Fan's Choice for Best Publisher (2016).[4] The company's Gold Ennies include:
Pelgrane Press won the 2017 Indie Game Developer Network award for "Best Game" for the story game anthology Seven Wonders.[7]
Press coverage has noted Pelgrane's outsized ability to accomplish significant output despite its stature:
Pelgrane are a relatively small company in comparison to some of the other contenders and seeing them sweep the awards shelf is great. They are proof that at least in the table top world, quality products can still conquer the world.
