teach me Gumshoe

I've heard great things about the Gumshoe system, and I'd like to try it out.  I'm most interested in Night's Black Agents or Yellow King (if that one is even out yet) but I'm willing to try pretty much any of the existing settings for it.  Any GMs out there willing to show me the ropes?

I've been wanting to run Gumshoe, especially Night's Black Agents, since I found it.

I don't have any experience more than reading the book, however.  So, we'd be learning it together.

But, I'd run if there was interest.

I'd be cool with that, as long as you don't mind walking me through the basics.  If char gen is too complicated without the book I could live with a pregen.

Characters and the system are pretty easy to understand.  I don't think it'd be hard to explore without the book, but it would definitely slow down the process of character creation and starting the initial adventure.  I can set something up and advertise for other players, letting them know up front that it'll be slow going at first as we learn to play.

I would be interested in this. I'll keep my eyes open for the ad if you post it.

I'm a huge fan of Ashen Stars, the gritty space opera setting created by Robin Laws for Gumshoe. For an overview of the setting, surf over to "All The Justice Credits Can Buy" at http://site.pelgranepress.com/...ice-credits-can-buy/ and let me know if it interests you.

Bumping in case anyone else wants to chime in while we wait for a wonderfully generous GM :)
