Looking Glass: Mumbai
 |
This look at India's mightiest metropolis¸ from its legendary crime syndicates to its glamorous movie colony¸ of necessity holds plenty of rash generalizations¸ needed for game play and speed of familiarization. More than many cities¸ Mumbai relishes its contradictions¸ its vastly rich and abysmally poor literally living side by side.
As with most Pelgrane publications¸ this supplement exists in a world of instantaneous oceans of information¸ and is not intended to be comprehensive. Instead¸ it combines a few evocative details with broad-brush color. It is intended as a starter¸ letting you begin cooking Mumbai as a "Low and Slow" city setting for many possible GUMSHOE games. It is a foundation for your own adventures¸ a framework on which to hang the fruits of your own research.
Looking Glass: Mumbai features the lay of the land¸ including markets and masses¸ and three unique backdrops for the main setting¸ a scenic or thematic element¸ or just somewhere to stage a fight scene. Ken features Mumbai's factions¸ from the mob¸ to political parties¸ to the terrorists. Includes nine Mumbai story seeds and hooks¸ and Mumbai mythos.
The ZIP file includes the PDF¸ EPUB and MOBI versions of this product.
This supplement is also available as part of Ken Writes About Stuff Vol 1. KWAS v1 is a collection of 13 supplements written by master Lovecraftian writer and GUMSHOE guru Kenneth Hite. Discover hideous creatures¸ uncover an occult Nazi bell or join the men in black with this baker's dozen of fear and fun!
