Vices

Some more things to fuck your criminal up. On a standard roll of 5, 10 and 15 roll again and if the result is less than 7 apply one of these vices instead. Sadism Your criminal is a sick, cruel sonovabitch that gets his rocks off using people’s arms as ashtrays. The criminal resorts to torture and Buckwheat killings as the first method of solving problems, when reasoning or a clean hit could achieve the same thing. Add +3 onto threat, and +1 onto the criminal’s Hostility Rating. The criminal is exempt from scruples and guilt. Test Discipline Roll at a difficulty of 7. Masochism Your criminal has a perverse liking for pain and this can lead the criminal into some dark territory. The criminal often feels the need to be punished generated from deep seated emotions of guilt and self-loathing. This manifests itself in the criminal seeking ways to harm himself: Putting his fist through a window, picking an uneven brawl, throwing himself down a flight of stairs or paying a dominatrix to lash him. Add +2 to Trauma Resistance and + 3 onto Balls. Test Coping Roll against a difficulty of 7. Attention This gangster loves the limelight and the flash and glitzy lifestyle that goes with it. He likes hanging out with celebrities and seeing his picture in the paper next to a big, juicy headline. Such a high profile gets the attention of the cops who don’t like having their noses rubbed in it. Worse still is damage limitation from your own side who don’t like the heat your bringing down on them. Roll DR against a difficulty of 6.

The Extortionist

This often borderline whack job targets wealthy families, businesses, and institutions in an effort to extort large amounts of money from them. The extortionist differs from the brutish, lean on tactics of the thug in that he employs a more sophisticated, covert and cowardly approach to the felony. This kind of extortionist holds supermarkets to ransom by injecting poison into chilled meat or by contaminating jars of baby food with ground glass. Bomb hoaxes, arson and sabotage are other ways to show the company that you mean business about ruining theirs. They are also fond of kidnapping and blackmailing victims to get the same result - a plain briefcase full of used tens and twenties. The seriously unhinged amongst them may go a step further and direct a campaign of terror against the city and its people. Random rooftop killings with the aid of a sniper’s rifle or the placement of pipe bombs in municipal buildings precede a threat that more is on the way unless the demand is met. Extortion is waiting game so the felon needs to have a decent Discipline Roll, and the Suss not to get the details wrong.

But I ain’t giving it up without some guarantees.” Foxy Newton from the book “The Jones Men” tries to cut a deal on a possession rap.

The Wheelman

The Wheelman is a criminal that earns cash from his skills as a getaway driver. His job on a score is to sit tight and keep the engine of a high performance vehicle ticking over, in readiness to burn rubber when the rest of the crew burst out of the bank with duffel bags full of dough. In addition to being ace drivers wheelmen have to be able to keep their cool under pressure, resisting the panic to push the car and themselves too far. Local knowledge is also an essential asset as a Wheelmen must be familiar with every twist and turn, alley and short cut in the area to blow off the heat.

The Black Mafia

The Black Mafia organization of Moorfield is a large and sophisticated network developed for the purposes of importing and distributing China White heroin. In 1971 Lamar Scoles was breaking up kilos of Sicillian heroin on consignment for Gurino Mafioso Ray “Suds” Pantone, and supplying them to Ounce Men throughout Moorfield, Crawford, Grenson Park and beyond. Tired of turning over the lion’s share of the profit he split from the Italians and took a risk on the shady contacts of an old army buddy now living in Bangkok. The contacts were able to set Scoles up with large, dirt cheap consignments of locally grown pure China White heroin. Back in Moorfield Scoles adopted a company method of distribution for the heroin, controlling the product all the way from the cutting mill to the dime bag sold on the street. The drugs roll down and the money rolls up with each level taking a percentage. Over the next two years a blend of ruthlessness, business acumen and superior product made Scoles a heroin kingpin. Strength The Black Mafia have 165 employees with another 16 doing time. Recruitment The Black Mafia are constantly recruiting expendable young cutters, runners and lookouts into the bottom rungs of the organization, as well as absorbing existing dealers into higher managerial positions. Employees are typically African American, but as Scoles has expanded and penetrated into white neighbourhoods he has made use of the local talent. Unlike its Italian counterpart The Black Mafia has no formal initiation or requirment to kill to become a member. Prospective employees are simply appraised for earning potential and reliability. If the answer is yes they’re given a spot. Style Assorted, from stained shirted junkies to silk suited splendor. Structure Scoles has roughly emulated the command structure of the Mafia that he read about in the mob book “The Valachi Papers”. He sits at the head of the organization with his close friend Sidney Walcott his side as his advisor

and Under Boss. Beneath Walcott there are 12 Lieutenants each with responsibility for several gangs of street pushers. Each gang has a head pusher that reports directly to the Lieutenant, picking up the dope and handing over the cash after its sold. Typically gangs have between 3 and 7 members. Activities The Black Mafia have two heavily guarded houses in Moorfield where quarterly 40 kilo shipments of pure heroin are split and stashed. Each house is supervised by a separate Lieutenant with a gang in place on round the clock protection. Monty Wright has the house on Freedom Avenue while Floyd Pemberton manages the one on Wax Street. On demand, kilos are taken to a cutting mill in a derelict tenement on Crawford’s south side. There a dozen men and women wearing surgical masks dilute the drug to a high street purity of 12%. Another Lieutenant Maurice Gold watches over the mill and distributes ready batches of dime bag heroin to the Lieutenants. The Black Mafia are dominant in Moorfield and Crawford with droves of junkies travelling in to cop their potent Pyramid brand. The Black Mafia have made in roads into Brown Bay, Pennington, Jefferson Heights and St. Lukes through new white Lieutenants like Neil Rugendorf. They have also set up successful operations using the same distribution method in other towns and cities. Scoles has amassed a huge fortune, some of which he has laundered through legitimate businesses. Scoles and his organization are also no stranger to violence being responsible for the murders of over two dozen rivals, informants and dope thieves. Allies The Jungle Posse conducts freelance work for the Black Mafia dealing its dope and very reliably shooting its enemies. Scoles uses them as insurance against the potential treachery of his own Lieutenants. Enemies Some heroin dealing Mafiosi in the Gurino Crime Family are a little pissed at losing the lucrative trade over on the west side and are trying to find somebody to get near him. Weaponry Rifles, machineguns; the lot.

Eddie Malloy

Eddie Malloy a.k.a. “The Old Man” controls the majority of the Jefferson Heights and Winter Hill rackets as well as a dozen residential properties and legitimate businesses. Malloy came up in the old Winter Hill Gang as a young triggerman riding shotgun on trucks of bootlegged whisky. After prohibition he continued working as muscle for the gang gaining a reputation as an efficient enforcer and debt collector. But there was more to Malloy than just thuggery - he allied himself with prospective labor leader Brendan Joyce and secured him and Malloy Local 403 of the Carpenters and Joiners Union. Extortions of local bookmakers, massage parlors and card games in conjunction with a healthy shylocking business increased Malloy’s profile and influence in the gang. In 1953 the gang’s rivalry with the Dennedy/ O’Rourke Gang of Jefferson Heights came to bloodshed. In the three year war that followed Malloy schemed, doublecrossed, killed and negotiated his way through the uncertainty of the conflict to lead the Winter Hill Gang, and also what remained of the Dennedy/O’Rourke outfit. Strength Outside Malloy and his sons there are 37 other criminals working for Eddie Malloy. Recruitment Malloy keeps a watchful eye on up and coming criminals. Talented heavies are recruited with the enticement of a salary, whilst budding racketeers are incorporated into the gang through the fear of violence. Those with sense though are drawn to Malloy, recognising that he offers both opportunity, and protection from cops and gangsters alike. Most of the gang are of Irish heritage but this is not a prerequisite with the organization having some Polish, Jewish and Italian members. Style At the top cashmere coats and expensive three piece suits, silk shirts and hand made ties. At street level its thigh length leather jackets, knit wool shirts, courduroys, polyester slacks and blue jeans. Structure In the last 20 years Malloy has consolidated his position by bringing in his sons Frank, Michael

and Daniel to oversee his interests. Malloy keeps the half dozen or so heavies in the outfit directly under his command and is always chaperoned around the neighborhood by at least one of them. Well paid Killers like Matt “Gums” Riorden, Billy Dunn and the MacDonald brothers Mike and Jimmy help keep all the bookmakers, drug dealers and other racketeers in line. Activities Malloy controls two moderately successful numbers banks that cater to the daily gambling habits of the residents of Jefferson Heights, Winter Hill and parts of East Pennington. He owns the glitzy Sandman Casino which his son Daniel runs for him and several other backroom dice and poker games around the two neighborhoods. Malloy controls three brothels masquerading as massage parlors through long time associate Joseph Adair a.k.a. “Spikey Adair”. Malloy doesn’t deal drugs but permits others to do so on his turf for a healthy kickback. Noteable is coke and Quaalude dealer Conway Hughes. Malloy still controls Local 403 of the Carpenters and Joiners Union as well as Local 617 of the Metal Workers and Wielders Union. He uses both for the purposes of extortion. Malloy is a big time shylock with over $400,000 out on the steet in large loans to businessmen, bookmakers, drug dealers and other shylocks. On the semi-legitimate side Malloy owns Crown Liquor, a distribution company for over three dozen brands of spirits and beers. Bars buy from Crown or they start having problems. A sizable proportion of rentable accomodation in Jefferson Heights is owned by Malloy. As a slum landlord Malloy cares little for his tenants; squeezing them for the most rent he can whilst neglecting his responsibilities. Allies After recently losing three of his key enforcers Malloy has formed a working relationship with the local chapter of the Pagans to carry out some of his dirty work. He also conducts some business with the Mangalone Crime Family. His most influencial allies are local politician Brian Coltrane and Police Lieutenant Kieran Quinn. Enemies The Maclaren Gang of east Pennington and Jefferson Heights are a major headache. Weaponry Shotguns and good quality handguns.

Luck

Life in Dog Town can be damn cruel. You’re riding high one minute then the next blam, blam you’re looking up at the sky feeling all cold. But you could get lucky and get this sudden desire to turn around, or perhaps the hit man gets jittery and puts one through your beautiful fro instead of your head. Either way it ain’t over for you yet. Are You lucky Punk! Take the basic Luck attribute and multiple it by 4 for a criminal’s Luck Roll. For instance a criminal with a Luck attribute of 2 would have a Luck Roll of 8. Now player crimnals should have a little going on for them so add 4 points on to this total. So in the above example the criminal if he was a player would have a Luck Roll of 12. There are two changes to the rules for using the Luck Roll in the game. The first is that it is now a better attribute with far more applicable uses than before. The second is that its points are spent like cash to buy point changes on a roll. Shifts Each point in the Luck Roll is worth a 2 point shift on any task or combat roll. This can be used to avoid failures or increase successes. Luck points can’t be split, they must be used whole so you won’t get any change back from using 2 of them if all that is needed is a 3 point shift in the roll. A Luck point can also be used to increase or decrease effectiveness by 2 points, to increase and decrease injury totals by 5 points and buy slots at the start of the round at 1 slot per 2 points. Danny Slozcek is in deep shit. Rodney Peeps is holding a bat with his name on it. Peeps violence is 7 and Danny’s protection is 4. Peeps swings and gets a 12 for a 5 point success off the split. Peeps is a big powerful dude so Danny don’t fancy taking what he can dish out. Danny decides to use 3 points of his Luck Roll of 8 to turn the hit into a close miss. Danny strikes back with a karate violence of 4 against a protection of 7 and scores a 14, a 1 point just there success and a murder multiplier of 0.5. That’s not going to be good enough so Danny uses another 2 points of Luck to bump it up to a full success and a x1 murder multiplier. A 13 injury roll won’t cut it so it is boosted up with the last 3 Luck points to a decent 28 score, which should be enough to get away.

Making Your Own Luck Luck can be earned back and developed in several ways: Accomplishing a difficult task without the aid of luck (1 Luck Roll point or 1 dev. point). Being generally cool, hardcore, devious and ballsy. (1 Luck Roll point or 1 dev. point). Earning money, gaining territory, evading the law, or doing something noble and self-sacrificing. (1 Luck Roll point or 1 dev. point). At the director’s discretion over a period of time, say 4 points a session. (Restoring only). Limits On Luck The Luck Roll cannot be increased beyond its current value without developing the basic attribute first. The first advancement costs 10 points, the second 20 and the third 30 development points. For instance Danny Slozcek will need 10 development points to boost his basic Luck attribute from 2 to 3 points. A second advancement from 3 to 4 would cost 20 development points and a third from 4 to 5 would cost 30 development points. Bad Luck A Luck Roll into the minus numbers works in the same way but its bad. The player could get hit when he shouldn’t have, wounded a guy when he should have killed him or fluff a Suss Roll when would have known better. Whenever the player makes a roll make another 1d20 roll alongside it. If the result is 1 then the roll is affected by 1 bad luck point in the same way that it would be if the luck was good. If the result is 2 then the roll is affected by 2 bad luck points and so on. Player criminals can’t have a Luck Roll lower than -4 so a 1d20 roll over that means luck hasn’t come into play. Once bad luck has been expended it is no longer a factor in that session of play. Bad luck is regained at 2 points a session. NPC luck Care should be taken with NPC luck. It is recommended to use it sparingly as a life saver EG. to lessen the effects of a fatal bullet rather than to punish the players with killer salvos of lead.

Murder Multiplier The deadliness of the game can be altered to the requirements of the group. A cinematic antihero focused game could have deadly murder multipliers applied to the opposition, whilst perhaps adopting less lethal multipliers for violence directed against the players. Mix and match multipliers to suit your needs and mood.

Slang Some new ones and some previous explained. Beat, To Beat, Get Beat To cheat or get cheated. “Childs beat me outta five thou. He skipped and took my end. I shoudda seen it.” Beef, To Have A Beef A largely street term meaning to have a conflict, problem or issue with someone. “Sure I gotta beef wid youse, yorra fuckin screw up.” Brace, To Brace To intimidate, shake down. Burn Drug term meaning to deliberately od someone. Chink Derogatory name for a person of Chinese origin. Come Heavy Mafia term for coming to a meeting or place packing a firearm. “Step into line or the next time I come here I’ll be coming heavy.”

Effectiveness & Range Firearms are more deadly up close but the original rules only partly reflect that with potentially higher murder multipliers. When at execution and point blank range add +3 to the weapon’s effectiveness. At extreme ranges the reverse is true so reduce the effectiveness by 3. Automatic Fire and Slots The rate of fire of a weapon is divided by the number of half seconds (slots) in a 6 second combat round. This produces the amount of shots that can be fired in single slot. The longer the player depresses the trigger the more lead he sends towards the target. For instance an Uzi SMG’s maximum rate of fire is 50 shots over a 6 second combat round. Dividing it by 12 produces a rate of fire of 4 shots every half second slot. So a 15 round burst would take up 4 slots. Always round up the shots to the next slot value.

Junkie Stomp

This is a tough starter scenario for 3 to 6 criminals that can handle themselves. The criminals are called in by a building contractor to clear out a derelict tenement of junkies, ho’s, wino’s, gutter thieves and dope pushers. The Offer One of the criminals is contacted early in the morning by an old associate, an ex-con named Fred Goines who now works as a foreman and fixer for shady developer Jerzy Rockman. Goines offers the criminal a flat $2,000 to help him put together a crew to evict all the human trash using the old Butler-Ford building on Moorfield’s east side. The fee is non-negotiable and paid when the job is done. The criminal will remember Goines as a pretty stand up guy. Goines will explain that the land on which the derelict tenement stands has been bought. The plan is to demolish the building and construct a new low cost apartment block on it. This can’t go ahead with all the bad business being carried on in there and the delays are costing money. Goines will go on to say that there are about 30 bums, junk whores and dopers living or working in the building and this needs to be taken care of right away. If agreed he will arrange to meet the criminals at 4pm at the car park of the Brown Bay Arena. Fred Goines

Fred Goines is a former bank robber and stick up man that went sought of straight 4 years ago after finishing up an 8 bit for a payroll van. On release a square buddy got him a job at

Rockman’s Construction & Reality in Brown Bay, where his tough demeanor and underworld contacts have proved an asset in dealings on the west side. The Meet Goines will drive into the car park in a white Ford side panelled van. Stored in the van he has 3 pickaxe handles, 3 crowbars and six pairs ladies tights. He is also packing a .38 Colt Detective in a shoulder holster loaded with regular ammo. He is carrying one spare loader of ammunition. Before setting off Goines will rap a pickaxe handle into his palm and say “Lets show em we mean business.” Ford Butler A bleak and battered eight story tenement building with brooding black sockets for windows surrounded by pieces of its disintegration. A slow but steady flow of scraggy, natty looking individuals drag themselves in and out of the building. There are two cars parked out front, a candy apple 76 Cadillac and a green 74 Maverick. A Suss Roll at a difficulty of 4 will pick up a lookout scouting the approach to the entrance. The lookout sits on the stoop at the top of a short flight of stone steps leading up to an open doorway. The lookout is keeping his eyes peeled for the cops and other trouble. Arthur Gibbs

He carries a whistle in the pocket of a dirty blue windcheater, which he will blow if there is a raid. It will take him 3 slots to get it out and another to blow. Gnat is armed with a switchblade but will look to run. The Doorway A filthy corridor leads from the left of an obliterated wooden door. Ahead though three figures loll in the gloom of the foyer, a skinny, stooped woman dry retching over a pool of vomit, a man nodding into his lap oblivious to her suffering, and from the corner a glow of a cigarette exhibiting the pasty face of a long haired white man leaning against the wall. None of these junkies are armed. Goines wastes no time wading into these freaks with obscenities and a pickaxe handle.

At the open doorway a crackle of a fire can be heard, amidst mumblings and the smashing of glass. Around the light of an oil drum fire several bums slug rough wine and spirits. At the feet of one is a large, shaggy Alsatian. These down and outs are an aggressive bunch and will put up a fight.

Going In The door swings open revealing over a dozen strung out dope fiends lying smacked out on dirty mattresses, intently cooking up H or frantically trying to find a vein to spike themselves. The afternoon sun shoots fingers of light through the partially boarded windows and across the scarred bare floorboards. Near the window a tall angular black man in a denim jacket shoulders a B. Bat. In the waistband of his slacks sits a .357 Ruger. To the right of the room a skinny black dude leans against the frame of an open doorway smoking a thin cigar.

The man that reports to Scoles Lieutenant Floyd Pemberton. Julius Bonner A.K.A. “Slinky” has worked his way up from a lookout and street side dealer to running two lucrative smack dens. Bonner lives and breathes the dope business and has become a very experienced operator. Bonner has been noticed, and is moving in the right direction to toward becoming a Lieutenant. He sits his large frame in an armchair to the left of Corina drinking coffee from a thermos flask and listening to soul music on a hand held radio. In his lap he nurses a Winchester 21 sawn off shotgun and a .38 Colt Detective Special on the arm of the chair. On the other arm hangs a Chinchilla fur coat with a money clip holding $3,000 and the keys to the candy apple Cadillac parked outside. Bonner wears a $4,000 dollar diamond encrusted ring in the shape of a dollar sign and a Cartier watch worth $1,200. Bonner is not suicidal and if things go really badly for him, he will throw the criminals the cash and drugs in an attempt to save his skin.

Junkies Junkies in the room will cower and take cover from the fire. Some wil try climbing out of the windows and dropping the 20 feet (fall success 10) to the sidewalk below. Use profiles for the first three in the foyer. Effectiveness 0/10 against the fall success reduced or increased by toughness and a move test made against a difficulty of 9.

Conclusion If Goines comes through he will be true to his word and drop the 2 thou owed to the criminals the following day. If the job has been done professionally Rockman will keep the criminals in mind for further repossession work. Complications * Floyd Pemberton will have a fit when he hears about his dope house being hit. Word will be put out onto the street that there is a cold, hard grand waiting for the person that can finger who did it. If word comes back Pemberton will assemble a hit squad from the ranks of the Black Mafia to wipe out whoever was involved in it, or will farm out the contract to Jungle Posse. * The cops will attribute any bloodshed at the building as drug related violence. Either a dope house robbery gone wrong or one dealer making a move against another. * If there is a bloodbath and Goines dies Rockman will try to distance himself from the whole mess by skipping town for two weeks vacation in the Catskills. The criminals will have to chase him for their money.

WAY OF THE GUN “That’s cool man, but I don’t see no reason for takin’ that boy’s gun along. You don’t know what he might have used it for. Here we get rid of our pieces ‘cause they too hot, then you pick up a motherfuckin’ piece that you don’t know nothing about.” Hitman ‘Tank’ to his partner Copper-Head, in Donald Goines’ Eldorado Red. Small Piece Stick Up Red Wyatt and Thoroughbred Brown had made it sound easy. Let’s git into the store, hold the chink at gunpoint, take the bread, split the swag and gain juice in the gang. Yeah, sounded sweet & easy. Red got the guns from his brother, Catman Wyatt an O.G. in the Grenson Park Gangster crew. Three Saturday Night Specs, one .22 and two .25, with the advice to shoot in the face; firing anywhere else wouldn’t do much damage. That’s how they walked into the Grenson Park Store, across Orchid Street, gun in hand and warm-up suit hoods hiding their faces. Three little gangsters, aged 15 to 17, playing the big leagues. How would they fuckin’ know there wasn’t just one gook but two of them? Thoroughbred stayed at the door, Red and Lil’ Scooby going to the counter where Red flashed a revolver. The owner had sussed them right from the get go, snatching an automatic from underneath the till he brought it up firing even before Red had finished saying “Hold ‘em up!” Lil’ Scooby had fired one second later, twice the reports later said, both shots ended up in the cigarette rack behind the counter; damn him if he didn’t try to shoot the bastard in the face like Catman said. Red had already dropped to his knees blood pumping from a neck wound. Another chink had walked in from the back and fired at Thoroughbred. Lil’ Scooby hadn’t seen it, but had heard the explosions from behind and a cry of pain from his partner. Next thing the chink behind the counter points his gun at him and shoots. Lil’ Scooby woke up in a hospital bed with a tube in his mouth and his guts a wall of pain. Two plainclothes cops standing at his side telling him his buddies had croaked, and he was heading off to juvie as soon as he was fixed.

Grabbing the Piece The first thing your felon needs is to get the gun. There’s only 4 ways he can get it: That’s spelled Legit, Stolen, Streets, or Gun Runner. Legit The gun is bought at a store. Find a gimp, tell him to go buy the piece for you or you beat the shit outta him, his moma, his sister, etc. - after all, he’ll be the one IDed and recorded buying the weapon. See the section ‘Gun control in the 70’s for more info. Choice: most weapons are national handguns, shotguns, hunting rifles, a few de-militarized assault rifles might be available (i.e. they have been set in single shot action and must be worked over to get back to full auto) Risks: As soon as the cops trace the gun to one of your heinous and violent crimes, they’ll know who bought it, and guess who’s gonna squeal as soon as they reach him? The gun being brand new, there’s no history associated to it. Steal it! In the biggest country of arm-manufacturers and weapon-owners in the world, it ain’t tough to find a legit gun-owner, or a gun nut collector - they’re all around. Get the address through your local broker (a know streets roll and $50), then B&E the place while they are on vacation to help yourself. Choice: There’s 1d20 guns in the place being B&E’d. Roll for each: Roll 1D20: 1-10 handgun, 11-13 shotgun, 1518 sporting rifles, 19-20 military rifles. On a 15 vs.5 the gun is foreign. Risks: Not being busted doing the B&E either by the owner/housekeeper/relative, or a patrol. Can be down to bad luck, poor planning or goofing a creep roll if they’re already in. Lose a split of 4 vs.16 ’s and its been used before. Street’s Hot Piece This is what most of the two bit thieves, dealers and small-time gangsters will get. You buy or trade a gun not knowing what it’s been used for on the street, getting it from a dealer, another felon or in your local pawn-shop. If off a junkie it usually goes for a 1/3rd of its face value - damn cheap. If from a fence or pawnshop it will at least retain its retail value, if not increase it by a third.

36

Choice: There’s usually only handguns and shotguns available in the street. Risks: There’s a split 12 vs. 8 chance it’s been used before. See the Ways of the Gun Section. Gun Runner: Gun runners buy wholesale weapons from foreign countries and smuggle them into the country. They also buy them in bulk at gun fairs, from corrupt soldiers, or they steal crates of new weaponry destined for import/export at docks and airports etc. However you’ll need a gun runner as a contact to get guns this way. Risks: None immediate. Roll luck for the felon’s name not coming up when the gun runner gets busted. Choice: Any kind of weapon is available, price is as stated in Felon’s Handbook p.22. AGE of the GUN The following chart will give an idea of what hands the gun was in before the felon ever got his paws on it. The age of the gun will modify the result of the roll made on the Way of the Gun chart. Roll 1D20. Roll Age of Piece 1-4: 3+1d20 years 5-8: 3 years 9-12: 2 years 13-16: 1 year 17-18: Less than a year 19-20: Brand-new Do not roll if your gun is legit, from a gunrunner, or aged brand new from previous roll. Stolen Gun: Roll d20 on the chart, -1 per 3 years of age. +6 for less than a year, +3 for under 2 years. Hot Piece: Roll d20 on the chart -2 per 3 years of age. +3 for less than a year. Roll 1d20+/- felon’s full Luck Roll. The lower the score the closer and more incriminating it gets. Get higher than 23 and the con gets a break. Location: Dog Town -2 The gun was used to kill officer Michael Obregón, a rookie cop from the 22nd precinct while he was out on the beat.

-1 The gun was used to kill Henry ‘Baby Scoobie’ Williams and Leroy ‘Lil’ Prince’ Johnson during a dope-house robbery in the south side of Grenson Park, by one or several unknown assailants. 0 A potential mass-murderer used this weapon to shoot from the roof of ‘The Viper’s Nest’ the Pagan’s club-house in Pennington. The unknown gunner shot at eight people walking by on Independence Avenue, seriously wounding two, killing one with a head shot and completely missing the five others. The gunner then fled the crimescene two minutes before three prowl-cars arrived. Shaking down the Pagans in the club neither produced the suspect or the weapon. Over a 12 minute spree a total of 29 shots were fired; the police have no description of the suspect. 1 The gun has been used in a B&E in St Lukes [1d20/4] months ago. The occupiers Mr. And Mrs. Castiglione were shot both to death, as well as their two Dobermans, in what seemed to be a night burglary gone wrong. 2 The gun was used to kill execution-style Mario Pistone late from East Water. His body was found in the East River, one bullet in the back of his neck, one above the left ear. Police suspect a mob hit as Pistone was rumored to be a numbers runner for reputed Mafia Captain Sam “The Hat” Vespoli. 3 The gun was used to kill 9 dogs across the district, size ranging from lapdog to watchdog. They were subsequently skinned and their hearts removed. Police are still baffled at the crime. The gun bears a 666 and an inversed pentagram on either side of its grip/stock. 4 Some junkie busted a cap on Donald ‘Black Don’ Davis in Moorfield with this gun, killing the dope-pusher instantly. While the crime occurred in broad daylight in a busy street, nobody had seen anything, and the cops were unable to collect any evidence, or a description of the suspect. 5 The gun has been linked to two rape/homicides. The crimes were both committed in One Hundred Acre Wood in Jefferson Heights a month apart. The two victims were females in their late-teens and were shot through the mouth. Homicide have linked those murders

37

with three others committed in NYC in the last 24 months-all victims were put to death in the same manner, with the same model and caliber of gun.

two customers to let ‘em know he meant business. The cops retrieved a bullet from the ceiling shortly afterward.

6 The gun was used in a series of cab-jackings around the district, the suspect, a 5’8” white male in his mid-teens, black curly hair, medium built. He held taxi-drivers at gun point when the cab was stopped at the traffic-lights. Suspect shot through the window in two instances with the same gun.

LOCATION: NEW-YORK and NEW-JERSEY

7 The gun was used by Gordon Jackson to kill his common-law wife Latifa White in Grenson Park’s south side. Jackson shot her twice in the face and three times in the chest before putting the gun in his mouth and blowing his brains out. The gun was taken away from the scene before the cops arrived. 8 This piece was used during a drive-by shooting against Terry Williams, 14, member of the ‘Black Plague’ youth gang in Moorfield HighSchool. The bullet blew his left kneecap off and another shattered his girlfriend Jennifer Diaz’s left shoulder. 9 This gun was used a year ago by James E. Burroughs when he accidentally shot his wife Mary Burroughs in the head at their Pennington home. Burroughs had tried to re-enact William Tell’s feat with the apple & the crossbow’ in this case with a firearm. Unfortunately for Mrs. Burroughs, the bullet missed the apple by one inch and entered her skull. James E. Burroughs fled the scene and has been a fugitive since then. The gun was stolen from the evidence vault in the 23rd precinct six months ago. 10 This gun was used in a shoot-out in a flat of one of Crawford’s projects. Arriving at the crime scene, cops from the 22nd Precinct found the dead body of Mauricio ‘Momo’ Hernández, 28, shot 6 times; the fatal bullet entering the heart and the exit wound near the left kidney. Some tiny remains of high-grade cocaine were found. Given the evidence Police suspect a narc deal gone sour. Hernández was a known associate of Jaime ‘Jamie’ Davila. 11 The weapon was used in a gas station robbery over in Brown Bay. The heister shot twice in the air to scare the shit out of the clerk and

12 The gun was used in a series of successful hold-ups against Mangalone mob businesses across New-Jersey (illegal gambling joints, strip-clubs, wire-services, number banks). The Mangalones will be happy to talk to its owner as soon as their bent ballistics guy in the 23rd gets a match on the gun and its owner. 13 This gun was used in a mysterious string of 12 armed robberies across New-York City and the state of New-Jersey. It was used to shoot down a total of 3 customers, a teller, 2 guards and a bank-manager. Only one of the guards and two of the customers survived the attacks. 14 Three bullets from this gun were shot at Detective Sergeant Lew Krasowitz in the Bronx 1d20 months ago. One hit his spine and two others the wall behind him. Krasowitz has been in a wheelchair since. 15 The gun was used to shoot and severely injure robber Harold “Muzzy” Clements as he held up a convenience store in Ithaca, New York. The shooter, a shopper at the store didn’t hang around as the gun was unregistered. 16 The gun is a .38 handgun, which was stolen from officer Derek Manning a beat cop in the 17th Precinct of NYC during an intervention at a street disturbance 3 months ago. 17 The gun was used to shoot at Capt. Harris of the 18th Precinct through his squad car’s window. Police never caught the unknown assailant - although Harris strongly suspected his wife Mercedes Rodriguez to have paid a hired killer to ice him - but was never able to support this suspicion. Since then, they have divorced. 18 Miss Woods, 26, from Ashbury Heights, San Francisco, was shot in cold blood when she refused to let go of her purse when mugged in Greenwich Village, NYC. 19 At 1 p.m. November 3, 1968, a hitman walked into ‘La Buona Osteria’ a restaurant in

38

Little Italy, NYC. He then shot Vincenzo ‘Vinnie’ Provenzano in the back of the head three times before leaving as calm as he had walked in. The descriptions left by the eyewitnesses were too confusing for the Robbery/Homicide detail to ever draw up a portrait of the killer. although they suspected Tony Greco, a small-time enforcer in the Albanese Crime Family.

Gun Tips Rub your fingerprints off the piece using alcohol or gasoline.

LOCATION: THE U.S. of A.

* With semi-auto or automatic weapons don’t load the clip to full capacity, as this has the tendency to cause the gun to jam.

20 The gun was used by John Little, in St. Louis, Missouri to kill his lover Kim Wallace. He disposed of the body by leaving her in an empty barrel of industrial paint stored in an unregistered storage unit, with water and some of her belongings. Little and his wife sold their Missouri home and moved to Jefferson Heights a few weeks ago. The skeleton won’t be discovered before 1d20 months. The driving license will be unreadable through water damage, but the cops will manage to positively ID Miss Wallace thanks to her dental records. Although suspecting Mr. Little (several witnesses will confirm the love affair between the two and being the last person seen with her), they won’t be able to collect any material evidence to prosecute.

* Instead of disposing of the piece by throwing it in the river or sewer; place the gun in a vice and crush the barrel, hammer and trigger with a ballpeen hammer. Then dispose of each fragment in a different place.

* When loading a clip or a gun, wear rubber or surgical gloves and wipe each bullet to avoid leaving fingerprints. An alternative is to spray WD-40 oil (cost: $1.50) on them. * If the serial number is stamped on the case, the simplest way to remove it is to drill it out. * If the serial is on a weaker area, such as the barrel, use a chisel and a hammer to stamp the numbers out, then grind the remains off. This will avoid the true serial number being raised with an acid test if the gun is found.

21 The gun was used to kill three and wound six other 38th St. gang-bangers in East L.A., California.

* If using a handgun for a hit, use hollow-point ammo (they deform on impact, making them non-traceable). They also have the added advantage of staying in the head of the victim.

22 The gun was used ten years ago to murder Civil Rights activist Edward Wilson in Macon Co., Georgia, his body was found 6 months after his disappearance in a swamp.

* If you shoot point-blank blood will splatter on your clothes, firing from 3 to 6 feet avoid unnecessary washing and looking like an extra from a war movie.

23 The piece was used in a strong-arm robbery of the 1st National Bank on 9-Mile and Woodward in Detroit, MI. The take-over turned ugly, the three tellers, the bank-manager, the guard and three customers were killed. Three heisters were killed on the spot by the DPD while leaving the bank; the fourth unidentified heister escaped and is still at large.

* Before disposing of the weapon, run a rat-tail file or wire cleaning brush down the bore of the gun to change the ballistic markings.

24+ The gun is clean. Chango Herrera picks up a stolen piece from an out of town fence. The director rolls for the age of the gun and gets a 9 (2 years). A 1d20 roll of 11 is knocked up to a result of 22 by a a mod of +3 and a Luck Roll of 8.

* The gun parts that can be matched-up to a shell-casing in a lab are: the gun barrel, the shell chamber, the loading ramp, the firing pin and the ejector pin. Alter those parts with a file as an extra precaution. * Shotguns and hunting rifles can be bought at your local Sporting Good Stores or Sports section in the Department Store and they do not require a registration. * A revolver cannot be silenced effectively as a

39

semi-automatic. * When fired the gases ejected from a revolver’s cylinder will throw powder on the firer. This can be picked up by the cops in a forensic examination. * Ejection gases on a pistol or rifle can be prevented by using a silencer. * When selecting gloves, use rubber/surgical gloves and dispose of them after use, since fingerprints could be found turning them insideout. Never use leather gloves, since they have their own definitive characteristics just like fingerprints. If used destroy them afterwards. * Use a two-handed cup and saucer grip. It allows the firer to steady his firing hand, giving a +1 edge to shoot. Most cops and soldiers are trained to use this grip. If you are planning on whacking a guy out whilst sitting in the car with him use a gun equipped with a silencer. If you don’t the report of the gun in such a confined place can cause temporary hearing loss.

Gun Control In The 70’s Bad News for the Trigger-Happys, the Survivalists and Gun Lovers: The Gun Control Act of 1968. The primary gun law in the U.S. is the Gun Control Act, introduced following the murders of Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert Kennedy. Here here are the main points in game terms: Convicted felons, fugitives from the Law, dope addicts, the underage, any loonatic or fuckwit out of a psycho ward, anyone dishonorably discharged from the military, illegal foreigners, and anyone having renounced U.S. citizenship can NOT buy a gun. If you own a gun and you is listed above, you can be convicted of a felony. All gunshop-owners must have a federal license from the Secretary of the Treasury for them to sell firearms. They also have to keep a record of all their sales, and make sure there’s a proper serial on the gun, and to record it. It’s illegal to sell a gun or ammo through mailorder.

40

The commercial sale of military weapons such as assault rifles, sub-machineguns and heavy machineguns to the general public is prohibited. It’s illegal for a legitimate dealer or individual from one state to sell a handgun to some folks in another state. If you’re a NY state resident, it’s legal to buy a long gun (not a handgun) anywhere in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, because they all bordering the state. You can’t bring in a gun from Canada though’, unless classified as sportin’ weapon.

Any foreign weapon can be bought if it was issued and sold first before the Gun Control Act. If you really need an assault rifle or a smg, you can legally buy the civilian version. Civillian versions of automatic weapons are fixed to only fire in a single shot mode. However with a little tinkering they can be re-configured to fire automatically again. Relevant firearms skill at a difficulty of 5.

You must be 21 or above to buy a handgun, 18 or above if you buy a long gun. New York Laws You need to give your name and address when buying ammo at your local gun retailer. South Carolina and Virginia are favorite out of state places where New-Yorkers go to buy their (illegal) pieces. In 1975 a major scandal arose from a news report citing South Carolina as being the primary source for handguns used in New York crime. In response State Legislators decided on a law that you couldn’t buy more than one gun a month. It will eventually become the base for the Gun Rationing legislation, but that’s far ahead in the future. And why is every New Yorker going to Virginia or South Carolina to buy a gun? Why did David Berkowitz ask a pal to buy his Charter Arms .44 Bulldog in Texas? Because since the New York State’s 1911 Sullivan Law, you need a POLICE PERMISSION to buy a handgun. That’s it, go get one at your local 23rd precinct, yeah, right! Now for The Good News: You can buy any pump-action shotgun, competition bolt action rifle, or any lever action rifle in the sporting department of your local department store. You can go to your nearest K-Mart to buy any shotgun, shotgun ammo and shells, or any rifle, pistol or revolver ammo.

30-06 Springfield This is a powerful hunting round capable at its limit of taking down large African game. More user friendly than larger Magnum cartridges the 30-06 has been a lasting favorite with American riflemen since it was first produced by the Springfield Armory in 1906. It was originally designed for the American Army who wanted a more powerful round to compete with the German 7mm x 57mm Mauser cartridge. .300 Savage The .300 savage was introduced in the 20s for the Savage 99, the aim was to produce similar ballistic effects as the .30-06 Springfield, in a smaller cartridge.

AMT Back Up Introduced in 1976 and designed for concealment, it is chambered for .380 ACP, is made of stainless steel and quite heavy for a small handgun. It has no safety catch. Colt Combat Commander S70 The Combat Commander is a shorter and lighter version of the M1911A1. It is quite often used by military officers instead of the latter. The model here is the Lightweight Series 70 (in production (1970-1983) with a 9mmP caliber, made of a lightweight aluminum frame. Colt 1911A1 Revised stats. SIG-Sauer P-220 This weapon was designed to provide maximum firepower in a compact size. Although 5 different calibers were introduced to the market, the specific, US market .45 ACP ‘All American’ model is presented here. Rohm RG34 A company specializing in manufacturing smallcaliber revolvers, Rohm’s RG-34 is a good weapon for the small caliber it fires, although not as robust as a Smith & Wesson revolver, but is an ideal weapon for a beginner, or as a home selfdefense weapon. The sales in the US stopped with the 1968 Gun Control Act.

EM-GE 23 Valor Initially designed as a starter’s pistol firing blank .22 cartridges, it was then modified to .22LR and then .32 S&W Long. It was intensively exported to the US, under its commercial name of ‘Valor’. The sales stopped however with the 1968 Gun Control Act. Savage 99 Based on an earler 1889 model the Savage 99 is the most popular lever action rifle ever made with an eventual production run of 100 years. A reliable woodsman’s rifle that uses the shortened .300 Savage cartridge, which although economic is nonetheless still capable of taking down a Black Bear. Savage 170C This is a Pump-action rifle using center-fire ammo and was produced from 1970 to 1980. It is a shotgun-type rifle using standard .30-06 Springfield ammunition. It can not fire shotgun slugs or ammo, and has a carbine barrel length of 18.5 inches. M60 The M60 is the standard squad general purpose machinegun for the United States Army. It uses the standard 7.62mm x 51 Nato cartridge fed in a 250 round disintegrating belt. A large number of them were produced for the Vietnam War.

Home Invasion Plot: The characters badly need a piece and have been tipped off some survivalist jerk has gone on a hunting trip for the weekend - so they decide to B&E his place. They find the ground level house includes an underground (and illegal) shooting-gallery and torture cells with props, remains of bodies, and a horrendously scarred, badly wounded victim. The guy is also into bondage and snuff movies. What a finale it would be if the survivalist come back earlier than anticipated with one of his sadistic hunter friends?

Breaking & Entering If the players are smart enough to case the joint before getting in, they should gather the following information: The area is patrolled by night every 30 minutes by a 2-man squad car. The area is heavily populated, so it’s pretty hard to gain entry discretly by day. There does not seem to be any alarms or dogs. For what they know, the owner, and sole occupier a Mr. Edward J. Ward has gone on a hunting trip upstate for a few days. The best option to gaining entry seems to jump over the wooden fence running along the left and right sides of the house, then breaking in from the backyard. There are several options of entry open to the players: Lock-picking the front door: It’s not the best option: the area is regularly patrolled (prowl car

43

every 30 minutes) and the neighborhood is pretty populated (4 in 20 roll every 5 minutes in daylight or every hour by night to avoid a nosey neighbor coming by). It’s a Pin-Tumbler lock door, and needs a successful Breaking & Entering roll at a difficulty of 4 with a pick and a tension wrench to lock-pick it. A success means the player walks into 1 on the map. Lock-picking the back door: A better solution, since nobody would be around to peek on the felons. The lock is a wafer tumbler, thus easier to pick at a difficulty of 1. A successful entry leads to 2 on the map. Breaking Any Window: The best choice is obviously the back side windows, leading either to 11, 2, or 5 on the map. There’s no way the players will be able to open the window with the push-slide technique; they will need a glass-cutter and duck tape in order to break through without making any noise. If they don’t use duck tape to muffle the sound when breaking the glass, match a neighbour/passerby awareness of 2 against a difficulty of -1. A success means a neighbor peaks out, sees the felons and calls 911. The two man neighborhood patrol will get the call within 2 minutes and be there within the next 60 seconds. They are amed with .38 S&W Model 10’s and night sticks. If things go heavy the two will radio in for back up. They and the back up unit drive 76 Plymouth Furies. George Kenny

The House 1-Front Porch & Entry This is the main entrance facing the street. There’s a military jacket and a worn-out mink hanging on the coat hanger. There’s also a set of keys, which includes a key to the door at the end of the stairway in the garage. The wall-paper is a garish choice of white and blue waves. 2-Living Room The living room is filled with a LA-Z-Chair, an orange sofa and a black coffee table on an imitation tiger skin (street value: $5-10), a color RCA-XL100 teevee console (street value $100-150), and a stereo system with 8 track player (street value: $25-35). There’s also a bar with a selection of liquors, Bourbon, Vodka, Tequila, Scotch, Seltzer… all bottles are half to almost empty. The walls

44

are covered with a disgusting orange and green wall-paper. 3-Kitchen A modern style kitchen; cabinets are full with cans, bottles and packets, and the freezer with frozen meat and vegetables. There are some left-overs of spaghetti in the fridge, along with a dozen cans of Miller. 4-Dining Room Decorated with ugly Louis 14 French-style, sky-blue colored furniture and wallpaper around a massive polished oak table. Some animal heads and shooting trophies ornate the walls. There’s an ugly painting of a clown (street value: $1, but it’s a real Legras so an art dealer or antique would give up to $1,000 for it. An evaluate deal test at difficlty 12 will see the value), if looked behind, there’s a safe holding $2,200 in cash and $500 in bonds. (Break in difficulty 14, over 40 activity points). 5-Breakfast Room Not much here, except for the view on the backyard. 6-Garage There’s no car there at the moment, but there is a space where one is parked. There’s a table with electrical tools on the left wall of the garage, as well as a few oil cans and anti-freeze bottles. On the top right corner of the garage, a steep flight of stairs leads to a basement door (the keys are next to the coat hanger in the entry). The reinforced door is locked with a pin-tumbler lock (Break in difficulty 6, resistance 15, 60 damage points) 7-Study A large walnut cabinet filled with books on military history, wilderness survival and guns stands behind a solid walnut desk. Various pictures of a soldier in Korea posing with a rifle adorn the walls mixed with pictures of the same man hunting, fishing and target shooting. The desk’s drawers hold nothing except for a few survivalist and gun enthusiast magazines, and a couple of bills and personal letters to Mr. Edward J. Ward. 8-Bathroom Nothing worthy here, shampoo and soap are your cheapest brand available in your local K-Mart. 9-Bedroom Decorated with boy’s taste (sports posters, planes, etc…), this room needs some good dusting. 10-Master Bedroom A squeaky clean bedroom filled with more gun posing photos of the owner. A close inspection of the closet reveals a black leather mask, a strap-on, and a whip. 11-Master Bathroom Same as 8. Seems to be used much more often though. 12-Backyard A normal backyard, though there isn’t a shed. In daylight the players will notice a lot of patches where the ground seems to have been dug. In 1d20 months time the cops after receiving a starling piece of information will come and arrest Edward J. Ward on charges of homicide. They will dig up the backyard where 15 corpses will be found. The bodies, all males in their early twenties show evidence of forced rape and mutilation before being killed. Ward will plead in total to 24 murders, and reach lasting infamy as the District’s most prolific psychopath.

The Basement E. J. Ward’s basement is where he stashes his arsenal, where he trains in a specially made minishooting range, and where he works on his victims with the help of his buddy Jimmy ‘The Whale’ McKay. 1- Corridor A passage leading from the stairways to the shooting range. On the left hand-side (north rim), there are metal doors with heavy bolts. A strong stench wafts over from the doors. 2-4 - Cells Locked from the outside by heavy bolts, the concrete cells look exactly like they are out of a prison nightmare. All of them are covered with blood, piss, vomit and shit. 2 & 3 are empty but 4 is occupied by Ward and McKay’s latest victim, Johnny Tanner, 22, from Pennington. Johnny is barely able to speak, all his teeth have been knocked out, his face is completely punched in, and there are several cut marks and cigarette burns on his chest, genitals and arms. Tanner has been sexually raped on several occasions by both psychos. If freed, Tanner will commit suicide after denouncing the 2 killers. If not, he will be killed by them if their imminent meeting with the criminals ends in their favor. 5- Shooting Range A 20 yard shooting range runs below the backyard. There are several targets in a corner with shell casings from various kind of firearms on the floor. On the left side, a small door leads to 6 - the gun room. 6- The Gun Room The racks on each of the three walls opposite to the door display: two M1911A1, a Colt Commander, a .380 AMT Back Up, a Walther PPK, a .38 Detective Special, a .357 Colt Python, a Remington M870 shotgun, a Ruger 77 Rifle, a M16 assault rifle (full auto), a Thompson sub-machinegun and a Ruger Mini-14 assault rifle. There is also a big collection of blades with 2 switchblades, 6 hunting knives, 5 razor blades, 2 pocket knives, 3 bowie knives. Finally, there is about 500 rounds for each caliber in the racks.

Gunfight! Ward and McKay will come back prematurely. Ideally the felons should be in at night, and you can have the 2 psychos walk in 2 minutes after the players have reached the Gun Room. Ward and McKay will realize there are intruders in the place on a successful awareness roll (broken window, moved items, mud on carpet etc.). They may also detect the where the criminals are, from a successful awareness vs creep test. The characters will hear them coming back on a successful awareness vs. creep roll as well. They will definitely know something going on as soon as they reach the door to the basement and find it open instead of being locked. Ward and McKay will assume combat tactics and instead of getting into the basement, they will wait for the burglars to come out in the garage; their rifles trained at the doorway. Gunfire A garage shoot out will make a lot of noise and get Ward’s square, anxious neighbors hitting their phones. The police dispatcher will send two units to the incident - car three (Kenny and Vasquez) and car four (Zappi and Shannon). Zappi and Shannon will also be the unit that answers the back up call put out by Kenny and Vasquez at the initial intruder alert. Danial Zappi

Aftermath The haul of guns if sold individually to the right people can fetch around $3,500. Disposing of Ward and McKay will initially be treated as a priority murder inquiry - however once Crime Scene Investigation get through with the basement and back garden, the focus is shifted towards uncovering their murderous activities. Killing any cops will create a huge stink, and result in a massive manhunt for those responsible. A $10,000 reward will be posted by the NYPD for any information that leads to the apprehension of the killers. If identified the perpetrators will make the country’s top 10 most wanted. If apprehended by certain members of the department the criminals are quite likely to be fired upon whether they give themselves up or not, in a “Justifiable Shooting” - well that’s how the report will read.

Zip Gun

A zip-or pipe gun is a homemade small arm that has been in use for years amongst juvenile punks. It’s also useful weapon for thugs as a cheap, throw-away firearm, and can also be found amongst the ranks of radical militants. Although generally used once, some of them can be kept, the shell being ejected with dowel. Anybody can make a zip gun with wood for the stock, galvanized tin for a trigger, and a ¼” steel gas or water pipe for the barrel stuck to the stock with solid brown tape. The whole thing is then crudely patched up with glue, tape, nails (as a hammer) and rubber band. In Game terms, given your punk has the right materials, it’s a protracted Handgun roll on a 2 difficulty to make up a zip gun. In operation on a Backfire result, the gun explodes in the criminal’s hands when fired. Name Zip Gun Zip Gun Zip Gun Zip Gun

It is thus advised to proof fire it, usually with a thread to pull the trigger. Zip guns can receive any kind of gun ammo, the limit being the bore of the pipe being used. Zip guns are not as powerful caliber for caliber as a professionally made handgun. Zip gun stats: Treat the zip gun as having an effective range of 10 yds max.

GRAND THEFT AUTO: YOUR DOG TOWN RESOURCE TO SUCCESSFUL CAR THEFT Dog Town’s Grand Theft Auto Q&A’s How many vehicles are reported stolen? Like most other crimes, Motor Vehicle Theft (including GTA) is on the increase, with 133,504 motor vehicles reported stolen last year (1976) in the state of New-York alone. It has more than doubled compared to the stats from 1966. Grand Theft Auto, is the leading business in this criminal niche (nearly 80% of the motor vehicle theft business.) Why do people steal cars? Several good reasons for a felon to make a career out of auto theft, and risk a Class B NonViolent Felony if convicted: Transportation: If you are a kid and you want to impress other punks of your age range - you go joyriding, i.e. stealing the car, then drive around high on dope and liquor then dump the wreck - or you need the car for a short-term crime mission, usually as a getaway car or a crash car during a robbery. Whatever you still dump it after its used. Parts: One of the safest and most lucrative activities in this line of business, highly recommended to your felon: you steal the car then drive it to a chop shop where you get from $200 to $300 for it. Conversion: You steal the car, then you erase the VINs or modify them, then register the car under another name then sell it to some fool and collect the $$$$. Or you just covet it yo self - so why not steal it, convert it and keep it? Insurance Fraud: For a Benny Franklin or so you steal the car with the owner’s permission and sell the parts out to a chop shop. The owners then collects in on the insurance. Step 1: Tools A pair of gloves: Don’t never forget them to avoid leaving fingerprints. Whatever the fabric,

dump them or better destroy them after use. ¢50 for working gloves, $1 for 12 rubber gloves, $2 for 10 surgical gloves. Slim Jim: Up to 30” long and ¾ “ wide, flat cardoor opener, no serious car thief moves around without a slim Jim. $5+1 buck post and handling via mail order. Manufacturer Key Rings: Holding 100 to 140 keys, they will open any given car within the make and year range they were bought for. Obviously illegal, only available from car dealers or repair shops. $30 will get you a tryout set. Lock Picks: Illegal as well; can be bought from mail order. Step 2: Picking the Target Car * A good place to locate a target car is at the airport’s long-term parking facility. Since the owner has usually left for a a week or two, it will give your criminal plenty of time to steal and get rid of the vehicle before it shows up on the police’s stolen vehicles list. * Browse through the For Sales section of the daily news, pick your choice, and go see the car at the owner’s convenience. Whilst acting the part of an interested buyer check all the vehicle’s security measures and put a street estimate on what it’s worth. Then come back one or two weeks later and steal it. You can also check on the owner’s working schedule that way and pick the best moment to get away with the car. * Dress fancy, shave clean, then go to a car dealership. Try several makes, and in doing so check the glove compartment, the sun-visor or door-map holder, because that’s where your average car dealer leaves a copy of the keys. Luck roll vs. Tricky difficulty for the car dealer to have left a copy. Pinch them, then make a copy, come back a couple of weeks later, and steal the car. * Dress fancy, shave clean, then go to your next car dealership. There try several makes,

50

and car-jack the one you like best. A highly risky crime for felon’s with big balls and not much sense. * Peep around to check for any surveillance camera, patrols, etc. Pick a car parked in a place you know nobody’s gonna fool around with you when breaking in, like an apatment complex with mostly elderly residents. Avoid heavily patrolled areas, avoid parking lots at the mall, etc. * If you are working on an insurance fraud scheme, agree with your pal for him to park the car in an easy location for breaking in - not too obvious for the cops to think he done it on purpose though.

a failure indicates the criminal has to spend time again to find one. From Screwed Up on, your criminal has spent all his time for shit and can call it a night. Obviously a criminal saying “I’ll take any old beat up car I can lay my hands on” is not the same as saying “I’m after a red Lotus Esprit.” so adjust difficulties accordingly. Alternatively you can play out all the measures a criminal takes to find a particular car. Roll d20 for make of the target car: Roll to find out what category the target car falls in, with the appropriate mods to the roll.

* If you want to use the car as a switch, a getaway or a crash vehicle, pick a common make so nobody will remember it.

Category 1-2 3-5 6-9 10 - 16 17 - 20

* If you intend to make money crossing the border, pick an expensive, brand new make. Mexicans go ga ga for fancy American cars.

Mods: Pennington -5, St. Lukes, Winter Hill, Jefferson Heights +0, Crawford, East Water +1, Grenson Park +3, Moorfield, Brown Bay +5.

* If you gonna work for a chop shop, they will tell you what make they want or need.

Roll d20 for Age of the target car: Roll to find out how old is the target car, with the appropriate mods below:

Getting Down to Business

Roll Age 1-2 3-5 6-9 10 - 16 17 - 20

First, your criminal has to find the target car, this is a prolonged or protracted Know Streets roll made by your director as below; the type, age and wear value of the car are then randomly rolled on the tables. If your criminal isn’t satisfied with the results, he can spend more time (that’s another roll vs. Know Streets) to find the ideal car. Finally use creep and conceal skills to avoid drawing attention to your shady goings on - failures will draw the Law or the Square whose car your screwing. Finding a target car: This is a prolonged action if peeping from a vehicle, or a protracted one if on foot. Roll your criminal’s Know Streets vs. a base difficulty of Tricky, with the following edges or drags: Moorfield, Brown Bay +5, Grenson Park +2, St. Lukes, Winter Hill, Jefferson Heights -2, Pennington -5. Success means a car has been found, whereas a

Step 3: Gaining Entry To The Car

Step 4: Raiding The Car

Brute Force: Since you don’t intend to sell the car just hammer a large flathead screwdriver in the keyhole and turn hard: this will break the pins and allow you to turn the chamber which opens the car.

When you’re safely outta there check the glove compartment, the dash, the radio, center console, under the seats, and the trunk. You don’t know, you might have a pleasant surprise, or in some cases a not so pleasant surprise.

Lock Picking: Because you want the car for future use, you don’t want to alter the mechanisms, that’s when the slimjim, or the tryout keys, or the lock pick tools come in handy. To use a slimjim, lubricate it with vaseline or hand cream and insert it into the weather stripping, then push and pull up, or pull and pull up. With a slimjim it helps to have a lever like a piece of dowel when you have to push; try pushing and pulling because different manufacturers put their mechanisms in different places.

Roll Awareness vs. Straightforward or owner’s Conceal (whichever is higher), immediate results, success meaning something is found, failure indicating 1 minute per level of failure having been wasted raiding. If something is found, roll again, Luck Roll vs. Straightforward Difficulty.

Getting Down To Business, Opening The Door The easiest way is having a set of tryout keys. This is a progressive B&E roll with a base difficulty of Dead Certainty. Another way is using a hanger to open the window then unlock the door, this is only available to makes prior to 1970 and is a progressive B&E with a Straightforward Difficulty. Post 1970 use the slim jim method described above. Your criminal can also lockpick the door, a progressive B&E with a straightforward difficulty for wafer tumbler locks as in most vehicles or a tricky difficulty for pin tumbler-locked vehicles such as those on Ford’s. Tools: Screwdriver & safety pin +0, tension wrench & diamond pin +2 edge.

Step 5: Starting The car Hotwiring Old Makes (prior to 1970): Look under the dash or cut into it, and near the ignition find two red wires, cut them, splice them and cross them (another good reason to wear gloves, as you can get shocked). Key Ring Method: Since the door’s and the ignition are the same, your 10 minutes spent in step 3 will make the car start right away, and give you that powerful feeling of being the legit owner of this baby.

Brute’s Way: First screw it into the key slot and then slam it out with a slide-hammer. Take a screwdriver and turn the little exposed triangle thing, and Bada Bing! The car starts up. Getting Down To Business, Starting The car Hotwiring is available only for pre-1970 makes, it’s an immediate result on Straightforward B&E. A No Way and up means a light shock. Key Ring method is an immediate result on a Dead Certainty B&E. Slamming, immediate result on a Straightforward B&E. No Way up means the car doesn’t start off and the ignition system is completely screwed up - bravo fucker. To defeat the locked steering column (available in all post 1974 makes, the owner has thought of locking it on a Just There thru Backfire result of the Criminal’s Luck Roll on a tricky roll.) Your criminal will either need an accomplice to drill into the core of the lock then extract it - a progressive B&E roll vs. Straightforward, or the brute way, included in the slamming method, above. Step 6: Conversion VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (VIN’s) Here’s a little background on these numbers which all cars have. VIN numbers, up to 1978 are subject to the manufacturer’s choice, according to the car’s make-up, individual characteristics, etc... From 1978 on, the rules are 17 numbers to a VIN, but before that, it can be less or more than that. VIN numbers are not only stamped into the metal plates, but embossed, making it very difficult to forge. As a further safeguard, all VIN’s are mounted with special rivets. These vary from square, to triangles, to hexagons in shape, but as a rule are not available to sell to the general public. Almost all DMV employee’s have a book called the “Passenger Vehicle Identification Manual”, which has glossy photos of all the VIN plates, and notes on how to decrypt each specific manufacturer’s VIN. This manual is sold ONLY to law enforcement personnel, and is worth QUITE a lot to any interested party (for obvious reasons). This book also contains the hidden locations of the VIN’s. In the 1970s, most vehicle manufac-

turers hide the VIN numbers all over the cars. Some common locations are: on the bottom of the ashtray, under the hood, under the trunk lid, in one or more door panels, or underneath the dash. Besides the VIN numbers there is a frame number stamped into the frame of the car, motor, and transmission, which all cross-check with the original VIN. Because VIN numbers are only as good as they are inspected, many states require inspection only by law enforcement personnel. An easy way (but can be detected) of forging a VIN is to take a Dymo-labeler which embosses numbers onto plastic tape, and then gluing it in the proper location. If not placed under close scrutiny, this method will usually pass the casual observer.] In most cases what you do is swap the VIN and engine numbers with those of an identical car. Go to wrecking yard, buy the frame of the same make and year, get the registration pink slip then swap the numbers with the stolen car, using epoxy. [Auto Repair roll] If you intend to reuse the car, it might be a good idea to do a paint job on it so as to not raise any suspicions on the same color and make. Converting a car (that is, swapping the VINs and doing a paint job) is a Tricky Difficulty vs. an averaged Auto Repair and Cheat skill, the (protracted) outcome being the difficulty to bust out the scam at registration. Giving a paint job to the car is an Auto Repair with an Easy difficulty on a protracted action. Note: on an Outstanding thru Blackjack result, no Cop, Insurance Assessor, or DMV jerk off will even notice the made up VINs. On a close failure to full success, the pig’s entitled to roll against his Suss for a straightforward test. Step 7: Registering the Car “After I buy the car under my phony name and have my phony identification on both the registration and the ownership, I simply drive the car to a title state like Pennsylvania and register the car under the same phony name. The registration form asks, “Do you owe any money on this car?” and I answer no.” Joey, The Autobiography of a Mafia Killer. Once you’ve got the vehicle, and say want to keep it (or sell it), you need to first make it legit. New York being a Registration state, that’s

53

where you have to register it. You register it by showing it to the DMV officer and filling in a registration form. That’s when the DMV asshole comes up to the car with the Vehicle Identification book and locates all the hidden VINs. If ya fool the guy then you fill in another form to register it to a phony name, then either sell it out, or make a bill of sale to your real name from that phony name, and voila, you got a brand new cruiser! Once successfully registered, the DMV will give you a pink slip, which is the thing you gotta show the cops when they stop your vehicle to prove you own the car, or when you want to sell the vehicle except of course in no title states.

Car smuggling: American makes are in high demand across the borders, in Canada as second hand vehicles (ain’t nobody up there who’s gonna check if the vehicle was stolen or not in the US), or in Mexico (car industry is protected) or Guatemala and Central America (no car industry at all). Sell the car for 1/5th to ¼ th its value. 1971 Mercury Cougar XR-7 2-Door Hardtop

Step 8: Further Uses You want to keep the car: Go to a car wrecking yard, look for the make of the car you just stole, then take the plates and register it under those cold plates and a phony name. Scribble with your opposite hand a bill of sale with a fake signature and sell it to yourself.

The GETAway Car

You want to sell the car: Do as above, except you change the recipient’s name on the bill of sale to some poor sucker’s. In that case, don’t even bother finding a set of cold plates.

This resource is for all criminals who plan to be driving with a suspended license, robbing stores or banks, pulling hit & runs, or anything else they might get chased by the cops for.

You want to make friends in a chop shop: Sell ‘em the car for 10% of its value. Title state scam: Make a down payment onna car at a car dealership in New York state under a phony name, register the car under that phony name, then go over Penn., a title state. What proves you own the car is the name on a title issued by the Secretary of State, so you simply fill in a form, show your bill of sale or that you made a down payment, they stamp it, they don’t check nuthin’ and that’s it - you’re the legitimate owner of the car, and you can sell it to anybody you want, including yourself under your true ID.

Choosing the car Bearing in mind the purpose of a getaway car, i.e. getting away from a crime scene and not being caught by the Law, choose your vehicle within the mid-size range. Getting The Car Ready In order to have the best car to plan your getaway, it needs the best add-ons available and this can cost a buck. Here are a few examples: Radial Tires: Expensive, but gives a +2 edge when driving compared to the +0 old bias ply tires.

Rental car scam: Rent a car under a fake name, remove the stickers and tags, sell the car at a used car dealership; the dealer will call on to check the car isn’t stolen (and it isn’t) then go cash the check in at the bank.

Heavy Duty Radiator: +2 edge when overworking a car, driving the car in rough terrain, or driving in warm weather. Prevents overheating.

Insurance fraud: Sell a car to a chop shop, report it stolen, then smile to the insurance men.

Heavy Duty Shocks & Springs: Other than tires, nothing will better improve your car’s

54

handling than the shocks & springs. Gives +1 to the vehicle’s basic handling. Stainless Steel Brake Lines: Rubber brake lines have been known to swell and flex, causing the brakes to fade. Stainless steel brake lines are used in racing competition. +2 edge on the maintenance roll (see below) Heavy Duty Steering Pump: Serves to prevent the steering fluid from foaming. +2 edge to maintenance rolls (see below). Armouring: A paid job will cost $10,000 but give -20 protection on the Crash table and shield against bullets. On the other hand, it will add +25% extra weight to the vehicle and drag the handling by -1. Reinforced Ram Bumpers: Bumpers can be reinforced by bolting or welding extra supports from the vehicle frame to the bumper. Further reinforcement can be made by welding a twoinch metal pipe to the vehicle frame, right in the back of the bumper. These extra reinforcements could prove useful in a ramming situation (adds +20 to the crash damage on the targeted vehicle). Scanner: See the ‘Scanner’ add-on for details Cold or hot plates: Buy cold plates at a wrecking yard, they should be enough to pass any casual police check up, though without altered VIN’s a thorough inspection will pick up the anomaly. Hot plates are the plates on the vehicle when it is stolen, and the ones that cops are on the look out for. Getaway, Switch, and Crash car: Try to have 3 cars ready for the score, the first car to get to the crime scene and as the initial get away car; then the switch car parked a mile or so away as a transition vehicle and eventual getaway car. The switch car should have cold plates, or even better be a legit car if possible. Crash cars are useful in forming road blocks to possible crime scene entry points, that the police squad cars dispatched to the robbery are likely to use. Car Stats & Maintenance The basic stats for a car are fully described p. 132 & 264 (for Damage Points) of the Dog Town’s Core Rules. The Getaway Car introduces

a new vehicle Stat: its Wear Value. Wear Value of a car is a 0 thru 4 figure indicating how wornout the vehicle is, by 20% increments. This affects its performance such as the Control stat, its Damage Points, and ultimately, its front value in bucks. The basic Wear Value when buying a brand new car is a W0, it can change as follow: Maintenance & Use: Roll Straightforward Diff. vs. Driving every 3 months. Mods: +2 edge if the car is given 2 hours maintenance per week, +2 edge for careful and considerate driving, -2 drag for reckless hot dogging, mid usage +0, -1 drag for heavy usage, -2 drag for stop start city use. Outcomes: +1 W from Close to Screwed Up fail, +2 W if Backfire. Age: There’s a split chance (10 vs 10) every year after the first year to increase the car’s Wear Value. Each year after the 1st year +1 to the basic chance of wear. Condition: +1 to Wear Value if Beat Up, +2 if Smashed Up, +3 if Totalled. Effects of Wear Value: * Reduce car price by 20% for every Wear point above W0. * Reduce car’s Damage Points by 20% for every Wear point above W0. * -1 to Handling for every Wear point above W0. * -10% off Top Speed for every Wear point above W0. * The effects of Wear value are cumulative with any effects as per p.264 of the Core Rules. Car maintenance A vehicle should be taken care of with two hours every week for a car, a pick-up or a van, twice as much for a truck, a bus or a trailer cab. To carryout successful maintenance, your grease monkey needs tools, oil, etc. A lack of proper tools means forgetaboutit, you can’t roll on maintenance. Goin’ to a workshop for a tune up provides a +2 edge to the Auto Repair roll for maintenance. On a Screwed Up to Backfire fail-

55

your car loses 1 WP. On the other hand, an Outstanding to Blackjack success reduces W by 1. Reducing Wear Value It’s somewhat possible to reduce the Wear Value of a vehicle; conducting two-hours maintenance on the car will prevent the car from deteriorating as per above. A successful Auto-Repair against a Straightforward difficulty with adequate tools will reduce by 1 point the W of any car. Any car that has gone past the W2 tier can’t be repaired below a W1.

Scanner Using a scanner gives a criminal a definite edge in setting up a crime, or avoiding responding police units during a getaway from the crime scene. A scanner allows you to find the channel and the frequency to tune in. The frequencies for the various police units can be found out given time by the criminal, or the lists can be bought for a price. The 10 codes below are known by all cops - but for a criminal, it’s Suss Roll to understand some shit like: “-Eagle 2, Eagle 2, All Patrols ten-thirteen, all patrols ten-thirteen on One hunnerd and three and Sixth for a ten-thirty, I repeat, Ten-Thirty on one hundred and three and Sixth, Need a Ten-Thirteen.” 1 to 10 - INSTRUCTION 10-1 Call your command 10-2 Report to your command 10-3 Call dispatcher by landline 10-4 Acknowledgement 10-5 Repeat message 10-6 Stand by 10-7 Verify address 10 to 17 - POSSIBLE CRIMES 10-10 Possible crime(Prowler,suspicious per son/vehicle shots fired) 10-11 Alarm(specify type) 10-12 Police officer/security holding suspect 10-13 Assist police officer 10-14 License number-occupied/suspicious 10-15 License number-verify if stolen 10-16 Vehicle is reported stolen 10-17 Vehicle is not reported stolen

For instance a cop could be playing all relaxed and friendly with a perp whilst asking for a 10-85 on the radio. If the felon knows that an additional unit has been asked for he’ll suss that he’s about to get busted.
