ST. LOUIS
1927
Welcome to Meet Me In St. Louis, an intermediate to advanced free plot Role Play set in the historic city of St. Louis on the banks of the Mississippi River Missouri, U.S.A.
The year is 1927 and the prohibition of the sale and production of alcohol is in full swing. Over the past few years organized crime has flourished and the city is in the grips of fears of gang violence. Usually a secret world, gangster conflicts have spilled out into the streets with shoot outs in public places becoming more and more common as well as shady disappearances and bribes.
It seems the honest people of St. Louis aren’t as honest as they seem. Corruption runs rampant among public officials like politicians and the police, the lure of dirty money being all too much for them to resist. The public turns a blind eye to this, content to trust in the false hope that their leaders are still on their side. Luckily there are still some out there that work to enforce the law and on the almost impossible task of bringing down the Mafias.
THE ROCK
The Still Water Gang hold the world of organised crime in a stranglehold. With a ruthless leader, they and their associates have been clawing their way into power over the last few years and now they have become the powerhouse of the underground. Operating with well practiced precision, the Still Water Gang has had its fingers in almost all illegal and some legal trades. It specializes in getting alcohol to the thirsty, sex to the deprived and gambling to the bored.
Be warned; to cross Silas Moran could mean a shady disappearance or two.
THE HARD PLACE
The Moratori's, a family that has been living and operating in St. Louis for generations. The textiles they produce have long been said to be the best in all America and the moonshine isn't too far behind. They were once the most powerful crime family and syndicate in all of St. Louis. No one was in competition to their highly organized and cut-throat way of working, no one that is until the Still Water Gang emerged on the scene.
The Irish Mafia quickly began to take associates, suppliers and customers out of the Moratori's grasp. Now the two gangs are on the verge of an all out war, one that will only end in bloodshed.
OUR LAST HOPE
The government and police of St. Louis, the public's shining beacon of hope in the mess that is fast taking hold of their city. To them the people of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and those of City Hall work tirelessly to bring down both the Still Water Gang and the Moratori family but really the truth is much more sinister. The underworld has crept into the once honest establishments and lured men into their pockets with promises of riches.
There are those that still hold their moral values high and work tirelessly to fight crime and corruption but these people are becoming fewer and farther between.
What hope is there?
What will you bring to the city when you
MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS?
We're still a work in progress but feel free to pick from the canons, create a character and start playing.
