Mean Streets Expanded RPG

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Note: this compiles the former PDF Collection into a single book, which is identical to the softcover version.

Explore the best and bleakest aspects of film noir in this roleplaying game that draws on classic films of the Forties for inspiration. Chase down missing persons and investigate murders with the grittiness and cynicism of film noir. Portray private detectives, femmes fatales, desperate district attorneys, con-artists, government agents, reporters, and other classic staples of the genre. Mean Streets includes special rules for investigations, chases, and using connections, as well as three full-length mysteries, numerous story ideas, reference sheets, and over twenty ready-to-use character templates.

Mean Streets is a roleplaying game designed to be both easy to learn and fast-paced. The versatile genreDiversion i (1.1) 2d6 rules make it perfect for one-shot games, extended play, or as a framework for your own ideas. Plus you can combine it with our Active Exploits Diceless system for diceless film noir adventure. genreDiversion i games can also be combined to expand gaming options--mix and match custom rules and features from one game with another, such as with Ghostories for Film Noir Horror. Notes for adapting material from MasterBook™ Bloodshadows™ are also provided.

In short, Mean Streets is fast, ready-to-use, and adaptable. You don't have to learn a complicated system, refer to scores of tables, or spend all day creating characters. The rules are easy to learn, consistent, and flexible. You can either create custom characters for the game or dive right in with any of the included templates. The game is designed to be light; it has a small footprint and extremely low price tag - it's not overloaded with tons of rules or an excess of information you just won't need. It's meant to get you running quickly so you can have a good time.

I know the official website has printed copies of the expanded versions of the GDi system and would be great to see POD versions come on to here as well as the cost of shipping from the US more than doubles the price of books.

PURCHASER
Hi,
I am sorry but I am a bit confused by the product lineup. If I buy Mean Streets Expanded RPG do I get everything (Casablanca, The Mean Streets Enhancement Pack...) under one cover, or is there still something that is available only by buying a supplement?
If this is indeed the case, could you please give me a short list of what I am missing in case I buy only the Mean Streets Expanded RPG and what else could I get if I want to be a completist?

Thanks in advance,
Reply

Hello. Everything is included in the expanded edition: "This expanded game compiles the Mean Streets core book, companion Enhancement Pack, and Casablanca add-on in a single book." Sorry for the confusion.

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.
