Masked heroes in a pulp-Noir action role playing game set in the superbly satisfying city of Rotwang...where mistakes are paid for in blood.

Become a two-fisted¸ double barrelled vigilante in this one-of-a-kind city. The right path is not always clear¸ the villains are much darker here and the heroes are tarnished. You'll have to keep your guard up to stay ahead of a bullet¸ a sledge hammer¸ or a drive-by. Explore a city that is alive with portent and consequences; a city that has personality all it's own. Its always dark in Rotwang City...and usually raining.

Set against the backdrop of 1933¸ the Great Depression is at its height¸ prohibition has just been repealed¸ and vice is spilling out onto the streets. Crimes are underway with reckless abandon¸ and bodies are popping up in the Chatham-Jordan River on a regular basis. Pit yourselves against the Knaves (criminal aristocrats of old money descent)¸ the Industrial Raiders (willing to destroy anything and everything for profit)¸ the Gangsters (who are taking over the mean streets of the city)¸ and the criminal masterminds like Iron Shroud¸ Mahjongg¸ Mister Crow¸ and Opera Clock. Viewed as much of a criminal as the fiends you pursue¸ the law is always a few steps behind you. Be careful looking for help there. Corruption is as common in Rotwang City as saltine crackers.

Aside from the day-to-day danger of crime and corruption; watch out for the supernatural and scientific dangers that also plague this city. There are zombi¸ beast-freaks¸ bug-eyed aliens¸ demons¸ dinosaurs¸ giant alligators¸ robots with a human brain¸ swamp apes¸ witch doctors¸ or a cacophony of other delicious dangers.Complete game rules are included. This system is run on the lightning fast¸ and quick to learn Bare Bones rules. You only need two six-sided dice to play.
