As a result of the Hillfolk Kickstarter, the GUMSHOE system is now available under the Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution Unported License. And thanks to the Yellow King RPG Kickstarter, the document has been updated to include GUMSHOE One-2-One and QuickShock GUMSHOE.

The document is a reference for game designers, and is not tuned to teach the game, or provide a playable game experience.

If you’re looking for a playable game, seek out Pelgrane Press titles such as this list. Or watch for games the users of this license will build with it.
