Gloom City
YOU ARE SPIRITUAL DETECTIVES, individuals (human or otherwise) who  sort out issues between this life an the next (and everything in between, over, under, etc). Sometimes that requires fighting, not always. In GLOOM CITY you'll play as human or something else investigating mysteries that cross the line between humans and supernatural entities. The game is folklore agnostic, allowing to replicate virtually any otherworld of your preference. Many GM tables to help are included. Touchstones: Yu Yu Hakusho, Trese, Constantine, The Dresden Files, Urban Shadows GLOOM CITY is based on Lasers & Feelings, by John Harper, (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)
