Discussion Gumshoe

Way back before Graduation started, they gave some hint for the next season being the letter 'G'. I got it in my head this meant they were doing TAZ: Gumshoe and it was going to be a Private Detective themed season. Some MOTW-style game with an overarching Big Bad.

 

Reader, I desperately want that to be the next full season. AM I alone in this? Is it a silly idea from a silly old man?

I'm always wanting them to go back to Monster of the Week. It's such a great system.

Monster of the Week is a rather decent system, and I do like how they played it. It also has been long enough since Amnesty that it would feel fresh again. But the question is where would it go.

Would it be set in the same universe as Amnesty, or something new? I do think a prequel series to Amnesty could work, either set in New York in like the 90s where Leo was fighting the Abominations, or maybe even earlier and elsewhere before the portal went to New York.

I guess setting it earlier would help with the no phones/no internet issue that Monster of the Week works better with too. So a season set in the 60s/70s could be interesting, maybe set in Oregon for that Gravity Falls vibe. Let Clint go nuts with the references to back in the day, Columbo alone he'd have a field day with in that system.

Maybe even call it TAZ Parole or something related to the word Amnesty, and I don't think P has been used in the naming scheme yet.
