Description

A roleplaying game of mystery and hardboiled action in a city that never sleeps.

I woke with a start, my mouth tasting like an old glove and my head pounding from the events of the previous evening, though I wasn’t sure if it was the beating from Benny’s boys or the bottle of whiskey that had done the most damage. I lifted my eyelids like stubborn blinds to find my gaze fall on a dame with a hundred-dollar purse in one hand and a cheap bean-shooter in the other. I groaned and cursed myself for ever getting involved in this mess…

In Hard City, character creation is swift and simple, generating competent yet flawed individuals and focusing on what sets them apart as they walk the fine line between right and wrong. Fast action resolution places the emphasis on the momentum of the plot, while the sandbox setting provides evocative hooks for adventures – fight crooks, rescue the innocent, thwart blackmail plots (or start them!), or uncover corruption in the Mayor’s office.

Stalk the mean streets of a world filled with two-bit thugs, hard-nosed gumshoes, gangsters, and femme fatales, all trying to survive in the concrete jungle. With trouble around every corner, a secret on every lip, and a gun in every pocket, danger is never far away in the hard city.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rulebook?

A rulebook is a core guidebook that outlines the game's rules, mechanics, setting information, and character creation guidelines. It serves as the primary reference for players and game masters (GMs) to understand how to play the game and resolve gameplay interactions.

How do rulebooks enhance the experience?

Rulebooks enhance the experience by providing structure, consistency, and depth to gameplay sessions. They establish the game's universe, define character abilities and limitations, and offer guidelines for storytelling and role-playing. Rulebooks also encourage creativity and strategic thinking among players.

What types of rulebooks are available?

Rulebooks vary based on the game system and genre. They can include core rulebooks that cover basic gameplay mechanics and setting details, supplemental rulebooks that introduce new rules or expand on specific aspects of the game, and adventure modules that provide pre-written scenarios for GMs and players.

Where can I buy rulebooks?

You can buy rulebooks for TTRPGs here and for miniature games here.

How do I choose the right rulebook?

Choosing the right rulebook depends on several factors such as your preferred game genre (fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc.), complexity level, and storytelling style. Consider reading reviews, exploring sample pages, and discussing with fellow players to determine if the rulebook aligns with your gaming preferences and group dynamics.

Can rulebooks for different systems be used together?

Rulebooks for different systems are generally designed to be used independently due to variations in rules, settings, and gameplay mechanics. However, experienced game masters may adapt elements from one system to another with careful consideration and adjustments to maintain game balance and narrative coherence.
