Inner City (role-playing game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inner City is a role-playing game published by Inner City Games Designs in 1982.

Description[edit]

Inner City is a contemporary crime system with humorous overtones.[1] The PCs are Citizens or Crooks; character subclasses include cops, politicians, vigilantes, FBI agents, and hoods; most of these subclasses may be either Crooks or Citizens.[1] The object is to get ahead and make more money.[1] Skills are increased directly through experience gained in encounters.[1] The system contains numerous charts and tables (for encounters, "treasure," etc.), but few actual rules systems.[1]

Publication history[edit]

Inner City was designed by Chris Clark, and published by Inner City Games Designs in 1982 as a boxed set containing a 40-page book, a large map, and six sheets of paper money.[1]
