Short pitch:
Trail of Cthulhu brings the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos into the GUMSHOE investigative ruleset: you are assumed to be competent, and you will always succeed at finding the clue. That won’t save you from the Deep Ones slithering from the black waters onto your boat though. Or from betraying the wrong party as the race for the forbidden artifact concludes.
We will be using the Arkham Detective Tales adventure book to begin with, and the free Condensed Rules if you don’t have the Player’s Guide. I will also add some of the more popular later rules additions to the GUMSHOE rules. I also have four pregen characters!
Expect a game of mystery, fear, discovery, and your own mortal frailty. This is not a game of heroic combat, much less amusing notions of victory! At best, delaying the inevitable is the only satisfaction you will have at the end of the soul-wrecking adventure.
