Game Background

The time is the 1920s, the setting Florida.

Prohibition has been in place for a couple of years now, giving rise to underworld trade in illegal alcohol.  Speakeasies are common enough and local police are paid to look the other way.  Overall alcohol consumption is down, though, showing that prohibition is doing its job.

Until a new gang moves into Miami, bringing a new type of alcohol.  Instantly addictive, this alcohol starts sweeping the speakeasies.  Soon you can't run a speakeasy without buying from this new gang.

The PCs are largely a group of people who become involved with a particular speakeasy, the Golden Corral, and its problems with this new gang.

Infinite worlds exist, even though very few people on Earth know this.  The Grand Stair connects these worlds through Doors that open onto the Stair.  Only a select few have the ability to open these Doors and enter the Stair.

The game uses the Lords of Gossamer and Shadow basic rules, modified to run a more street level game with lower power levels.
