Dog Town: Core Rules
Publisher: Cold Blooded Games
by Pistolero B. C. [Verified Purchaser]
Date Added: 07/11/2005 00:00:00

I's very happy with de game. No bullshit, its a cool game true to the genre. Play anythin' from pimp to dealer, heister etc.. ese, with rules to back it up, not yet another d20 dope. Everythin' is covered, from character creation, to how to set up your own operation, goin' on a crime spree, muggin' peoples, copin' horse, prowling da mean streets of Dog Town in your Gran Torino. That's 295 pages of fun all along. Life's sure a bitch in Dog Town. Chill.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: I loved the theme (crime/gangster) in mid to late 70s NY-ti was about time somebody filled in this niche-and with its own system. The character templates are excellent, the style is brilliant, you don't get bored reading the rules, you actually enjoy doin' it! Character skills, drags, etc.. are excellent too. There's nearly a rule for anything criminal in the game, brilliant.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: The game lacks examples (for instance, in the character creation), sometimes the character creation and even the 'split system' rules get confusing, and more examples to clear out any doubt would have been good (and would avoid reading the same lines several times to understand, or go find an example n pages later). Some illustrations are very good, but I'm a bit disappointed they are more generic than truly 70s, the artists could have made some more effort to do a 70s feeling in their art. Although the proposed background is a criminal hitting the streets and trying to make a hundred grand in 90 days, maybe some more options could have been developped for GM who don't want to exploit this idea but use the game differently. On the other hand, this can be corrected with a little effort from the GM and could be done in future supplements.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Creator Reply:
Thank you for your comments. I wish to explain the 100k in 90 days thing is by no means the be and end all of the game. It is merely a proposition, a default motivation serving as an easy handle and focus for players and director. Go with it or just use it as a jumping off point for whatever you want to get into. The game is meant to realistically facilitate the playing out of stories from all the great crime books and films like No Beast So Fierce, Reservoir Dogs and Heat. It just so happens that the thing that ties all these stories together is rapid and illegal appropriation of large amounts of cash.

The Felon's Handbook expands The Dog Town rules with good explanations on all the known felonies and misdemeanors your scumbag can do, a slang chapter, a few gangs and mafia families from dog town, an awesome chapter on narcotics, and finally a needed background for the year 1977. An excellent follow-up to the core rules, you won't waste your bucks buying it.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: I liked it all. The tools of the trade and criminal tips score high.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothin'<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Supplement on one of the 9 neighborhoods in Dog Town. Needed if you plan to run your campaigns in Dog Town, but could be used to other settings with little efforts from the GM.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The details, the settings, the characters, and the calendar of events for each location.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Lots of NPC, but no stats for them (a couple of them are in the 20 Punks supplement). Theres an extended list of hoodlums but nearly no squares. Dog Town starts to look like a Detention Center or County Jail.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>
