About the adventure
Las Vegas, 1992. Halloween night on the Strip. The Family should be laying low, but someone’s been talking. A bag of skimmed money has gone missing, a snitch is feeding the feds, and the old Palermo Social Club has become ground zero. Your crew is ordered to move fast: recover the cash, silence the leak, and keep the Outfit’s name out of the papers. The catch? The Palermo is now a gaudy haunted attraction, packed with tourists, security guards, and rival crews looking to make their own score. The basement hides more than just skimmed money. Old debts buried in blood are ready to claw their way back into the present. This is a night of money drops, shifting allegiances, crooked lawmen, and unfinished business. The Family wants results, and the streets don’t forgive mistakes. Pre-generated characters provided. Just bring your wits and a willingness to get your hands dirty. ⚠️ 👁️THIS ONE SHOT WILL RUN IF 3 SEATS (or more) ARE PURCHASED--(1 player may buy multiple seats)--(You wont be charged if we do not play)👁️⚠️

About me
"Grab a hot drink, a seat around the fire, and listen to my cowboy song." "Comfortable? Good! Now, before we get started, I want you all to know that I tell my tales for your enjoyment and pleasure... so please respect each other and don't enter this area if you desire to cause another harm. If someone's pain is your objective or entertains you... You won't make it past the opening credits of our story." [About me: Having been in (often teaching) the Arts for over 25 years, I really enjoy teaching, and I understand how and love to foster creativity in players!] --Experienced GM/DM/ST for roughly 35 years. I have professionally run hundreds of games over multiple systems. In that time, I have learned that it is the players' story and I am just here to facilitate that experience and make it run smoothly and be as entertaining as possible. I see game rules as a way to keep on track and involved...I never let them get in the way of creativity or the group's enjoyment! I came to StartPlaying looking to run some serious and/or seriously fun sessions. My story telling style is light and flows easy. I do not let the mechanics detract from the experience, but use them to enhance the story you want to be told! Teaching new systems to new players is an experience I enjoy. We were all new players, or new to a system at one time...and without kind and proper guidance we probably wouldn't still be involved in this amazing pastime! Roll well and see ya around!

How DuChampion (JJ) creates a safe table
This will be an open door game, if you need to take a break, for any reason, please do so!! All I ask, is if you can, please mute your mic so I know you are out. -Any use of "out of character" Racism, Sexism, or Discrimination or Personal Attacks of any kind will get you banned. -Players who do these things repeatedly "in character" are discouraged/warned/and subject to being (quickly) kicked or banned. -If you do not follow the “Fade to Black” rule you will be kicked or banned. **Fade to Black Rule** During the game, if there is ever an event, situation, or anything that as a player makes you feel Please say “Fade to Black” (same as N card although sometimes I don't see the chat right away)and that scene will end. I will not ask, I will not judge, I will take control and respect this choice. No story is worth paining someone!
