Never managed to find a group interested in playing gumshoe (it's either dnd or coc or some pbta gamearound here), would love to try in the future.
I'm playing in a Trail of Cthulhu campaign right now (Eternal Lies specifically), and honestly I like the system more than Call. Which is saying something, because Call of Cthulhu was the first RPG I ever played, and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. If you want Gumshoe and have people interested in CoC, maybe they could be convinced.
Though I do love a lot of PbtA stuff as well.
Looks fun, I'd love to see someone write-up their experience.
