# Crime Adventure Pack

editing and contributions by Alessio Serini

## Setting Information

- The Crime Adventure Pack can be set in modern times or in any time
  period that supports a criminal underworld.
- The location could be a sprawling metropolis with a thriving criminal
  underworld or a smaller city with a more contained criminal element.
  The setting could also be a rural area with a history of organized
  crime.
- The cultural and historical details could reflect the criminal
  activity and the state of law enforcement in the area. For example,
  the setting could be influenced by the prohibition era, organized
  crime in the 1920s and 1930s, or the rise of street gangs in the late
  20th century.
- The criminal underworld could be made up of various organized crime
  syndicates, street gangs, and individual criminals. These groups could
  be in competition with one another or could be working together
  towards a common goal.
- The state of law enforcement in the setting is an important aspect to
  consider. Are the police overworked and underfunded, struggling to
  keep up with the criminal element? Or are they well-equipped and
  well-trained, making it difficult for criminals to operate without
  getting caught?
