Kansas City Massacre!
« on: 22 March 2007, 01:32:19 PM »
Let 'em Have It!
by Larry Sturgeon

On the morning of June 17, 1933, the American public was shocked into a new consciousness as gunmen killed four lawmen while attempting to free one of their own. The gun battle took place in front of the Union Railway Station, Kansas City, Missouri. The Kansas City Massacre, as the action is now known, launched the FBI.



This semi-historical scenario recreates this event, but from three different points of view. The first part was written from the official FBI view of events, the second replays it but with additional eyewitness accounts changing some of the characters involved, and the third runs a pure Hollywood invention with some of the biggest gangsters of the day taking part.

Larry has done a fantastic job of digging through the historical information and putting together a pure gangster scenario. He also includes some historical photos of the people involved.

Character sheets are provided for the first scenario and it can be played using just the demo version of the .45 Adventure rules.

This can now be downloaded from the Pulp Heroes website, in the Download section. And like all the PDFs in our Download section, this one is free!

Just downloaded it Rich.  :D Looks like a great scenario, I'd first read about the incident in 'Public enemies'. Just NEED to buy some of Copplestones cops now...
Larry's done a great job converting it to .45!  :mrgreen:
