2d20 in Place of Gumshoe for a Vampire Spy Thriller...

Fluff N Crunch ·

2022/06/08

I (Jeremy) am going run the Dracula Dossier for my group, but I'm not hip on Gumshoe as a system after having run it a decent amount. The challenge, then, is whether or not 2d20 can be modified to emulate the necessary tropes for Jason Bourne meets Dracula. Can it?

Below are linked some of those mentioned in the episode, and a few others.
