Episode Twenty-Three – Organizational Campaigns and Organized Crime
In which Jim and I listen to a voicemail, list some more sci-fi RPG’s, and talk about campaigns that span multiple generations of PC’s. Then we explore the genre of organized crime (mafia, mob, syndicate, etc.) stories, listing typical tropes, example movies, and some RPG systems / supplements that would help you add this to your campaign.
Listener Challenge: Tell us about a campaign you played in (or ran) that featured organized crime. Especially if the PC’s were members of the crime organization. You can email me at “steve (at) pftdcast (dot) com“, or Jim at “jim (at) pftdcast (dot) com“, leave us a voicemail message at 617-302-PFTD, or add a comment on our forum.
