In response:I could tell you, but then wouldn't that violate your game premise?You need have no concern about us going out of business.  I am not taking any risks- my sales projections are very modest. I'm hoping the intial release game will be sufficiently succesful that we can issue a stream of adventures and player material, but it definitely will be a stand-alone system, designed to work easily with with existing CoC adventures. The BRP/GUMSHOE hybrid appendix will see to that; and this option should demonstrate that GUMSHOE can work along side BRP. It's a modular system.The GUMSHOE system core may well be modified enormously by Ken to adapt to CoC. If it's a choice between the system changing and the background giving, the system loses every time. However, the basics of GUMSHOE are well adapted to the investigative premise of most CoC adventures (and Lovecraft stories). You always get the minimum clues you need to continue with the adventure, but you can buy extra information to make later scenes go better for the PCs.</blockquote>
