UNDERBELLY: A Mafia Intrigue RPG - Sign Up Thread

[Nik Hasta]

Greetings one and all!

Those of you who have been around both here and on Sharker's lifeboat site a little while will recall my action/intrigue RPG Underbelly. As I'm likely to be between jobs for a couple of weeks, I figured I might as well pull the trigger on this idea once more.

UNDERBELLY - A MAFIA INTRIGUE RPG

Premise: It's the present day and you are in Gridport, a coastal city with something of an organised crime epidemic. Your character has been approached by the GCPD to act as a mole to try and help the police curb the mounting violence in the streets. From Russian mobsters, riverside gangsters, Triads, Yakuza and the radical uprisings of the young and the oppressed - Gridport has a complex and volatile crime network and it's your job to climb the ranks, provide information and (with any luck) get out alive.

However, things aren't ever simple. You will have to balance working with the police, the mob you choose to join, other players and your own ambition in order to survive. Will you bring down the heads of the criminal families and see justice done? Will you take whatever you can get and become a new player on these mean streets? The choice is yours!

Gangs At A Glance
We've got classic Russian mob as the big players, a coalition of Triads, Yakuza and Geondal as a large but fractious primary opposition to them, a crew of delivery/transport/messangers/couriers who specialise in stolen vehicles and moving product, a bunch of burly and angry blue collar workers unions that have gotten caught up with gangland politics, a loose and decentralised counterculture movement mostly comprising of homeless folks, low tier drug dealers, students and artists and a bunch of riverside hustlers in the pleasure districts.
