Wiseguys: The Savage Guide to Organized Crime (SWADE)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:
It’s the mid-Nineties. The bosses from the Five Families, as well as the Chicago Outfit, are behind bars. The Commission has gone silent. Routed and leaderless, the Godfathers have lost their grip on Las Vegas. A new breed of Dons has risen from the ashes of a lost war against the Justice Department to rule over Las Vegas. These self-proclaimed bosses work to reclaim what’s been lost to the other crime syndicates and corporations that now own the city.

Rebuilding their empire begins with the cunning and deceitful associates they’ve recruited among the conniving denizens of Sin City and beyond. Under the leadership of caporegimes and soldiers of La Cosa Nostra, they plot heists, eliminate their rivals, and engineer all kinds of ways to gain money and power beneath the watchful eye of the government now wiser to their scoundrel ways.

In Wiseguys: the Savage Guide to Organized Crime, you are part of a Crew looking to show its true mettle by evading the law and robbing giant corporations of their riches. Will your legend and nickname live on for years to come?

In this book you’ll find:

  • 15 new Hindrances

  • 33 new Edges

  • 27 organizations for your Connections Edge

  • Primers on the Drug Cartels, Sicilian Mafia, Russian Bratva, Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs, Triads, and the Yakuza 

  • A Mob Tale generator

  • Two campaign starter scenarios

  • 66 unique personalities and antagonists

  • Over 90 NPC stat blocks

  • And much much more!

Are there any plans to add layers support to the PDF?
It looks lovely, but removing the background (and possibly a few graphics) for printing would be much appreciated!

I bought a print copy from the original kickstarter/retail run. Are there any significant updates in the PDF version? I would not mind a copy, but not sure if I should.

Hi Chris!
One of the tables from the adventure generator had to be changed. The rest were minor typos.

There are no blank headers on page 88. I suggest you contact DTRPG and ask for a reprint.

Hi Neil
The price will have to be amended to include the rise in prices. So both the books will be a little more expensive from then, but only if printed in the US.

Hi Neil.
We corrected a few small typo's on the pdf and print files but then had to order new proofs when uploading the print file. It takes a bit longer these days with printing and shipping but it should be up on the age again.

Hey Neil.
Tuffguys was sent out to the backers yesterday. The pdf will be made live in a day or two. There will also be a POD option, but that will take a few weeks, since we must first wait for test prints.

Does this have any info on Law Enforcement?

Hi Neil,
There are a few pages at the beginning of the book that explains how a criminal should deal with Law Enforcement narrated by a detective character. There is also a sidebar on how to deal with going to jail, and a few important NPCs such as an assistant DA, a corrupt judge, a dirty cop, and an FBI agent. There are also a few stat blocks for Law Enforcement. But there is no detailed crime procedural information, no. Everything is dealt with in a cinematic way.
I hope that helps.

Hi Neil. There is a short paragraph about their place in Vegas, but it is mostly generic, to show how the organisations works so you can fit them in your game any way you want.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
