It's Always a Dame
A story roleplaying game set on the hard-boiled streets of Concrete City, where power, money, and force shape a black-and-white world. Players portray characters caught up in the next case while also directing the story from outside the action. Scenes use four framing styles—vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensembles—to explore characters in crisis and build toward a dramatic finale.
