Case Files are small adventure hooks for Hardboiled: Mystery¸ Mayhem¸ and the Macabre with only-the-necessary-bits for Gamemasters to make a scenario or full adventure to play. These micro-releases typically focus on one of the following: a key new Location¸ a new Adversary¸ a specific Scenario to navigate¸ or combinations of several of those elements.
Hardboiled is a roleplaying game of the 1930s-40s pulp detective action where you play regular folk who have decided to fight back against criminal elements running wild in your city. But there's more to fighting for justice and safe streets than picking up your hat and gun to take on the kingpins and their thugs; you'll need to beat your enemies at their own game because the rot reaches the corridors of power!
