1913 New York
 |
Fin de siècle New York¸ 1913 - a city perched on the edge of the abyss. Modernity is at war with tradition¸ and automobiles uneasily share the roads with horse-drawn carriages. Change - sweeping¸ terrible change - is in the air¸ and all of Europe is about to be thrown under the bus¸ dragging the world down after it. But tonight? For now? Cars that can go forty miles an hour¸ women not ashamed to show off a little ankle¸ and as much opium as you care to smoke. In the dirty places labor is organizing¸ anarchists are murdering plutocrats¸ and children are going hungry. But it's a pretty good world if you are on top of it¸ so find a way to get on top¸ fast...
"This playset draws heavily on real New York history¸ and includes an additional section of notes to provide more detail about some of the more colorful locations and organizations.
