文档介绍：Introduction
The Esoterrorists is Pelgrane Press’s first new roleplaying game since the
Dying Earth. This game includes the new GUMSHOE system, a modular
rule set designed bine bullet-proof investigative rules for playing
and just as importantly devising adventures, with a solid set of general
abilities. Next we will be releasing a GUMSHOE version of the Book
of Unremitting Horror, and then a new version of Call of Cthulhu
by h Hite. These new releases will build on the GUMSHOE
foundations here, and add new genre-appropriate features to GUMSHOE
for each type of game.
Game Dogma
Over the last few years, there have been many developments in the
roleplaying game design field, and we’ve been watching them with
interest. A year ago we devised a simple new set of rules for new games
we are producing, our game dogma.
Our new games will be:
- Fun to play
- Easy to learn
- Easy to teach
- Easy to play
- Innovative
- Approachable
- Sustainable
A GM should be able to learn each game in half an hour, nuances in a
hour or so. It should be easy to teach the basics of the game to a novice
in fifteen minutes. The design should take account of developments in
gaming over the last ten years and offer something genuinely original.
GMs will want to run the game time and time again, and players will
want to play it.
The Esoterrorists is the embodiment of these aims, and we hope you
enjoy it.
