8This is a page for the Cumberholmes RolePlayingGame, a FanWork featured exclusively on Website/{{Twitter}}. There is a Website/LiveJournal that accompanies this community which can be found [[http://community.livejournal.com/cumberholmes/profile here.]] Based on the MiniSeries ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', this RP has expanded beyond the featured Creator/{{BBC}} cast to include some of Sir Creator/ArthurConanDoyle's {{canon}} characters, such as Tobias Gregson and one of the Baker Street Irregulars (a group of employed {{Street Urchin}}s who are all ConvenientlyAnOrphan) named Wiggins. For the uninitiated, an excellent summation of the history and relationships of most of the characters in the RP [[http://cumberholmes.livejournal.com/31447.html#cutid1 can be found here.]]
