Who Would You One-2-One With Over the Holidays, Adam Gauntlett?

confidential2Cthulhu Confidential, the flagship title for GUMSHOE One-2-One, is now available for pre-order! GUMSHOE One-2-One is designed for two players: a GM and a player who takes the role of a solo investigator, solving Mythos mysteries. In Cthulhu Confidential our PCs are hard-boiled shamus Dex Raymond, investigative journalist Vivian Sinclair, and private eye Langston Montgomery Wright.

We asked the Pelgranistas—as well as some friends of Pelgrane—which fictional characters they’d most like to have a GUMSHOE One-2-One mystery adventure with. This is Adam Gauntlett’s:

‘Merrily Watkins has what is very much a night job,’ says Phil Rickman, creator of more supernatural mysteries and straight-up horror shows than you can shake a gnarled and twisted stick at. As Deliverance Consultant for her Diocese she’s been hip-deep in hauntings and conventional corpses since 1998’s The Wine of Angels, picking through evidence and ectoplasm to uncover the true culprits. My personal favorite is a shorter piece, The Magus of Hay, because it features book-lover’s paradise Hay-on-Wye, but it’s all good stuff.

She’s no physical powerhouse, and there are times when her faith wobbles or her family life blindsides her. As one of the few female Church of England priests she’d have a bullseye on her back even without her Deliverance baggage. But once she takes on that role she takes it seriously, shouldering that burden and making what ought to have been the straw that broke the vicar’s back a positive influence instead.

She fights the good fight even when nobody expects her to, sometimes when nobody wants her to. That’s the hallmark of a hero.

Plus it’d be fun to game horror with someone who’s been there and done it, don’t you think?
