D&G the TTRPG

You are at the crossroads...

Law and order, blood and gold, magic and mayhem—all clash in the city.

Will you rule the underworld or bring the fist of justice crashing down on it?

Will you become a corporate titan or bring the oligarchy to its knees?

In Dungeons & Gangsters every decision could lead to glory or ruin, good or evil or something further beyond...

Using an intuitive ruleset based on 5E and blending the epic fantasy of Dungeons & Dragons with the gritty action of Grand Theft Auto, Dungeons & Gangsters will let players dive into a new world of Urban Fantasy, a world that is an eerie mirror image of our own...

In a world...

A Hybrid Earth: D&G takes place in our world, but one in which 2,000 years ago a plane merge brought dragons, orcs, elves, enchanted forests and temples the size of mountains all to an astonished humanity.

The best magical minds of our day have discovered that there is some strange link in the destiny matrix of this hybrid planet to another in some hidden dimension...

You begin the game in this Hybrid Earth, on the northern continent known as Alta Ameryca, home to the Union of American States, Aztlan, the Dominion of Ursulia, Vesperia and various tropical island nations such as Cobao, Nassaroo and Ximel.

Though this continent has suffered calamities such as wars and plague, its millions of inhabitants carry on, working their 9 to 5s for the pleasures of life, big and small: a brand new Stallion convertible to cruise the roads with the wind in your hair, age reversing shampoo—it's 9 gold a bottle but it's worth it, hon', muah—delivery from Meatzza Mundi on Friday nights, a new TV to watch the Iron Ball game—if you work that extra gig as a cabbie you might even afford it in color.

But just behind the quiet life is the the world of dark alleys and smoky cabarets, where rancorous justice and lusty ambition tussle for gold and gods and glory in the game of bloody stakes, and you never know what normie civilian might one day decide they've had enough and they want in.

And so it's your turn to unleash your inner criminal or hero... or both?

The game is the game...

Sample Classes:

City Guard: your shield vest and your standard issue handcannon might just protect you from the bad guys... but will they protect you when the "good guys" want you dead?
Gun Mage: your fireworks razzle dazzle, then bodies drop.
Muscle: a crowbar and a shiv and you're an army.
Corporate Speaker: Money talks, literally. You use magic to manipulate business, finance and politics.
Mask: whether you champion the helpless or only look out for numero uno you've put on a mask that's freed you from your mundane limitations.
Urban Druid: summon a banquet from a dumpster, choke enemies with smog, shift into a rat or pigeon or the horrid things that live in the sewers.
Investigator: They had me. The bottle. The woman who hired me. The corrupt city fat cats. But I still had one thing left, my wits...

High-Stakes Gameplay:

Engage in car chases and gunfights, explore sensual encounters, crack cases or the chief busts you back to traffic duty, manage legal or illegal businesses, expand your turf, fight off addiction or turn others into high paying addicts, navigate city politics or evade the "heat" in nationwide manhunts.
Innovative Magic System. Whether you're enchanting a getaway vehicle or delivering a bardic speech to turn the tide in a turf war, magic is a most vital currency and comes in two main forms:
- Licensed Magic: reliable but rigid and subject to the authorities.
- Unlicensed Magic: fluid, adaptable, but if the Arcanum doesn't destroy you for using it, the magic itself just might.
