Beskrivning

There have always been different groups that go bump in the night. Humans might call them monsters. Since you’re here, you’d be more likely to call them friends. Family. Business associates. After all, you’re more than likely something that goes bump in the night, too. Humans would call you monsters. You call yourselves monsters, too. Reclaiming a word can be such a powerful thing, and, to be fair, you’ve most likely done some pretty monstrous things in your time.

Whether for survival or companionship, monsters of the same type have tended to group together. Monster groups have been successfully establishing themselves as mobsters, threatening local businesses into giving them protection money, providing illicit entertainment for the right price, running casinos, and expanding their influence right alongside their human counterparts.

Long, long ago - so long now that no one remembers exactly when - an agreement was struck between monsters. Every 100 years, they would meet and discuss pressing matters, refresh alliances, and spend an evening in peace. Accordingly, every 100 years, the Meeting Place appears. The place this time is a speakeasy in Carson City, America. The year is 1920. And the timing couldn’t be better. A terrible thing has just been announced: Prohibition. In America, it is now illegal to manufacture or sell alcohol. Since many of the monsters gathered make a nice chunk of change from alcohol, this is a serious problem. Perhaps it’s even a problem that can be solved together… as long as old enmities don’t get in the way.

Monster Mobsters is intended to be a larger-than-life game about mobsters who just so happen to be monsters… of a Halloween variety. While there are opportunities for some violence, this is player-driven and opt-in. This is not a game about the horrors of gang warfare. This is a game that encourages you to enjoy exploring the slightly ridiculous question: what if vampires, werewolves, cryptids, and various undead entities were constantly trying to one-up each other? Of course, some characters have considered this and decided that their own agendas are more important.

Pre-written characters will be provided.
