A Fast-Paced District of Glitzy Casinos and High-Risk Heists
This product includes a special 'Heist Rules' section for creating and running heists in City of Mist.
Even from several streets away¸ you can hear a dozen different tunes clashing and echoing between giant-sized hotels and casinos¸ You can almost smell the copper of the slot machine coins¸ and the cheap cologne of men dressed in equally cheap suits.
In Fortune Row¸ you can bet on anything¸ gamble everything¸ and win it all... at least some of the time.
This standalone PDF describes a new district in the City setting for the City of Mist RPG: the fast-paced and high-stakes Fortune Row. Here are some examples of how to use the included locations¸ NPCs¸ and Dangers:
- The perfect setting for a heist. Amazing Relics are hidden in the casinos' well-guarded vaults¸ granting powers that can't be gained anywhere else. The Row is where criminal professionals execute daring¸ complex plans set against colorful hotels and elaborate security systems. If the PCs are not such professionals themselves¸ they can turn to the district's seething underworld scene and recruit a team that suits their needs.
- Shady dealings and anti-heroes . Some of the best crooks in the world walk the streets of Fortune Row¸ conning the rich out of their money. The PCs may accidentally fall prey to one of their scams¸ or deliberately search for them for their invaluable skills. And when the inevitable betrayal arrives? Hey¸ it's just business.
- The best rewards¸ at the highest risks. One who knows where to look can gamble on anything¸ even their Mythos. You can earn millions then lose it all¸ within a single night. Even luck itself can be gained here - or more accurately¸ stolen.
- Themes of elegance and high class. In Fortune Row¸ everyone tries to look their best¸ except for those who know that there's nothing less cool than showing you're trying. It's where every City denizen¸ regardless of their actual lot in life¸ can spend a wonderful evening and feel like they're in charge of their own fate. It's a grand show powered by self-delusion¸ and orchestrated by a shadowy cabal.
