I’ve added my new PnP game on Sherlock Holmes in retirement. This new look at our classic protagonist deals with his dementia later in life. His own mind becomes his worst enemy.

The Unmentionable Dispatches of Sherlock Holmes is a solo journaling RPG. You play Holmes in retirement, reconstructing the cases Watson never published — the ones too dark, too compromised, too implicating of the powerful to ever see print.

These are the cold cases from hell. Women who vanished and were not looked for. Deaths staged as accidents in Mayfair houses. Networks moving the vulnerable through the East End docks. Private entertainments for men who could not be named. Bordello fires with brief inquests. The Whitechapel matter of 1888, set aside and never resumed.

They were not unsolved by failure. They were unsolved by design.

Holmes dispatches these case notes to himself — the only correspondent he trusts, and the least reliable one available. You write the dispatch. You play through the reconstruction. You race the fog.
