Tony Montana – Thug Life

Thug Life/Crow Alley Adventures

TL is supposed to be a way for characters of really low capability, having had few resources and limited options to engage in gritty, gruesome, mundane [mostly criminal] enterprises without much impact to the world around them. Geographically small, everyone knows everyone, virtually no escape from its conditions, and an extremely limited set of economic options with high competition all work to prevent characters from making big scores and raising themselves up. Some may be fine being big fish in a small pond, others may long to leave the poverty and filth. Either way, the harsh reality of Thug Life is… get rich, or die trying.

  • Alignment is mostly irrelevant to survival
  • The utter bleakness of prospects lends to a higher level of silliness and the ridiculousness
  • Most combat is non-lethal (though permanent wounds plentiful)
  • There is little to no magic
  • The presence of faith is low – most have written off Crow Alley as impossible for inroads
  • A huge portion of the city’s smuggling goes through it into the slums and supposedly under the wall
