In the States a judge may have ruled that Sherlock Holmes is now Public Domain but this RPG has the official backing of the Conan Doyle Estate.
Baker Street from Kirby Young and Fearlight Games is set after the Reichenbach Falls encounter, when Sherlock is believed to be dead and yet cases keep on coming to 221B.
The campaign asks for $3,000 and with 25 days still to run has attracted nearly 350 backers and $16,500 in funding. Backers who offer $10 or more get the Sherlock Dice set and those who up that to $15 get the PDF. A pledge of $35 ($15 extra for non-US shipping) gets the softcover rules, 2 Sherlock dice, a PDF and a credit.
