I was intrigued by the sound of Gumshoe, because I thought it'd be about, well, gumshoes - pulp/noir detectives in trenchcoats, chainsmoking and drinking whisky and taking cases from mysterious dames with big secrets. But no, it's about shooting vampires or ninjas or what the gently caress ever. Sam Spade putting half a dozen .45 slugs into Cthulhu's face and then making a sardonic wisecrack might be worth playing, though.

The Warhams talk made me wonder: has anyone ever written a modern-day (ish) setting for Warhammer? Like a warped version of our world with Chaos infecting people over the internet and rat-men skulking in the sewers ready to pop up through the U-bend.

A little while back I asked in the genchat thread if there were any modern games along the lines of The Price Of Freedom (which was Red Dawn: The Game, except written by the creator of Paranoia, so in retrospect it's way less serious than it seemed at the time). Sigmata came up, and even though I didn't want a supers/cyberpunk game I thought I'd check out the basics. And hoo boy, the 'ethical insurgency' stuff even in precis in the Kickstarter made it clear it's as fantastical as D&D. I'd been reading up about the French Resistance, an example of western freedom fighters literally killing fascists, and the idea that "if enemy soldiers aren't in uniform actively trying to kill you they're off-limits!" is so far from how an actual insurgent movement fights that it makes anything Sigmata has to say on the subject an utter joke. It really is 'middle class white guy explains to the oppressed how they should behave'.
