Evil Hat Productions is the company which brought you Fate, Spirit of the Century, and the Dresden Files RPG. Together, they fight crime!  Evil Hat has announced a GUMSHOE-powered game called Bubblegumshoe - a "teen detective story game". It's coming in June from game designers Emily Care Boss, Kenneth Hite, and Lisa Steele, and will be available as a 272-page hardcover, black-and-white book.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][ATTACH=full]110337[/ATTACH] What types of adventure do Bubblegumshoe character face? Bicycle thefts, sabotaged pep rallies, and Homecoming queen character assassinations, according to the product blurb. The game features teenaged detectives in small-town America solving mysteries. To help with that, it includes a ready-made town called Dewsbury, and an introductory adventure called Hey! That's My Bike! The GUMSHOE system (which has been slimmed down a little for this book) is focused on investigations. One feature of the system is that the characters pretty much always find the clues they need; the fun part is interpreting those clues. The system powers a range of games, often written by Robin Laws or Kenneth Hite for Pelgrane Press, including Night's Black Agents, The Esoterrorists, Trail of Cthulhu, the upcoming TimeWatch, and several more. This sounds like the sort of system to run a Scooby Doo game, or perhaps a light-hearted Buffy scenario.Expect to see it in June!</blockquote>
