A stripped and streamlined rule set for Dog Town the roleplaying game of crime, money and violence set in the seedy underbelly of decadent and dangerous 1970's New York.
This book is to be used in conjunction with the other books in the series for setting information and flavour. The intention is to remove most of the crunch of character creation in the Core Rule book and to provide a more free wheeling rules lite version using
The tenGINE (a system that combines familiar aspects of Bust and the Split System) that can be quickly picked up and played, but can still be integrated with the Core Rule book and Stray Bullets when more depth and detail is wanted.
thanks! this great! Can't wait to read it.

are PC's created via the core rules compatible with the stripped rules?
To an extent (the skill lists, vices, criminal types and crriminal ratings are the same). If I was going to transfer one over I'd take the rating of the criminal you have from the core rules and his criminal type as the jumping off point and re-interpret the ten attributes and derived attributes into the ones suggested for the type in the stripped rules.
I hope this helps.

You know that the cover image of this product is an AP photo of John Holmes being arrested by a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy following the Wonderland Murders, right? ;-)
