The year is 1921.  The place, New York City.

In this bustling town bursting with new beginnings and new money, crimes are committed on the regular.  With the prohibition, which is regularly ignored, gangsters have popped up along with the Speakeasy.  And the Great War finished not some three or four years ago, there has been many a loss.  But the 1920's brings a lot of new hopes.  And new freedoms for women.

Introducing Miss Hobbs and her Paranormal Investigative Team.  Well, it's not a team just yet.  It's only just starting out.  They look into strange deaths and Miss Hobbs has been known to cavort with the spirits.  A great party trick to most.  In this new age where a woman can vote and get a job, the young heiress who has inherited a great estate from her father has decided to do something interesting with her downtime.  Why not detective work?

Ex-cop down on your luck? Frustrated housewife looking for a hobby?  Looking for capable, inquisitive, and clever people to begin an investigation business.  Apply by phone.


You are those who have gone through the application process and been accepted into this new and fabulous career.  There is just one thing Miss Hobbs has left out.  The supernatural.  You yourself may possess some small amount of gifts or may just be the average Joe.  None the less you are all invited to a penthouse flat to begin your work.

I would like anyone who wants to join to keep in mind the era.  Many of the men have been in WWI.  As a woman, you might have held a factory job or worked as a nurse at the front.  Now that the war is over women were removed from their factory jobs and were supposed to return to a life of family.  The skills you have should reflect this.  But I am hoping for a diverse and interesting cast of characters.

Some archetypes I would LOVE to have are: the ex-cop/detective, gentle housewife, Jazzman, the failed actress, and the shell-shocked soldier.

None are of course required, but some things that might be fun to see and play with.  I am very open to new ideas and thoughts as well.  The roleplay is character driven with a GM detail post offering things like time of day, descriptions of places, and of course our lovely cast of NPC's.

The game is located in casual as I want to allow people to challenge themselves.  However, I think my idea has gotten a bit complex and might scare off some.  The general idea is something like a cross between DND and video games.  No dice rolls, interactions more important.  Feel free to ask questions here or on the RP.
