Gangbusters Role Playing Game

GANGBUSTERS™ game recreates the action and adventure of the roaring 20s and 30s...the years of prohibition, when gangsterism was at its height. The game can be played in less than one hour as a fast and furious version of "cops and robbers." It also can be used to create a never-ending series of adventures, in which players relive the events that made those two decades so famous.

The 20s and 30s produced some of the most colorful characters in American history. On the political scene there were machine politicians like Big Bill Thompson, the mayor of Chicago during the heyday of Al Capone, honest reformers like Frank Merriarn, and national leaders like Al Smith and Franklin Roosevelt. There were businessmen like Henry Ford who built financial empires, and union leaders like John L. Lewis who fought for the working man's share in those empires. Radio and Hollywood turned out a galaxy of stars who became the idols of two generations.

There were vicious gangsters coming to power in the cities and dedicated federal agents like Elliot Ness and Melvin Purvis who fought the new wave of crime. In novels and on the screen, the public thrilled to the adventures of private eyes like Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe, men who walked a shadowy tightrope between good and evil, law enforcement and crime.

Now you can match wits, muscle, courage and luck with these legends who lived in the era of bathtub gin, mysterious blondes and uninsured bank deposits. The GANGBUSTERS role playing game is your gateway to adventure in this bygone age. If you really want to clean up this town, if you knew you were in trouble the minute that dame walked in the door or if you just want to bring back the raccoon coat, this game is for you.
