Every Other Tuesday • 8:00 PM EST • Online via Roll20 The rain never stops. The city never tells the truth. And justice wears a mask. Welcome to Moonshine , a pulp-noir tabletop RPG set in a corrupt, rain-drenched city during the Roaring 1920s —where bootleg liquor flows like blood in the gutters, crime bosses own judges by the dozen, and something unnatural whispers just beneath the streetlamps. This is a world of hard shadows and harder choices . You’ll play a crew of: Masked crusaders & mystery men haunting rooftops and alleyways Hardboiled investigators who’ve seen too much and trust too little Psychic sensitives cursed with knowledge the city doesn’t want revealed Together, you fight a losing war against corruption, cults, crooked politicians, and the kind of evil that can’t be arrested—only endured.  THE VIBE Think The Shadow / The Spirit colliding with Sin City Fedora brims dripping in the rain Neon just starting to replace gaslight Tommy guns barking in midnight alleys Cigarette smoke, whispered secrets, and broken promises Supernatural horrors hiding behind human greed Stylish. Brutal. Personal. ️ WHAT YOU’LL DO Uncover conspiracies that run from speakeasies to city hall Hunt serial killers, cult leaders, and crime lords who think they’re untouchable Balance secret identities, public scandals, and private demons Decide how far you’ll go when the law is already bought and paid for You might save the city. You probably won’t. But someone has to make them afraid of the dark. 六‍欄‍六 WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR 3–5 players who love atmosphere and character-driven stories Experience welcome, but new players encouraged - don't worry if you have never played/heard of Moonshine before, I'll teach this amazing rules-lite game to all and provide rules resources to all! People who enjoy moral ambiguity, teamwork, and cinematic roleplay Availability for every other Tuesday (bi-weekly) at 8 PM EST  TABLE STYLE Heavy noir narration and mood Strong character arcs and personal stakes Violence is fast, dangerous, and meaningful Style matters—but consequences always collect  THE PREMISE A new syndicate is rising. People are vanishing. Something old and hungry is moving through the city’s underbelly. The cops won’t touch it. The politicians deny it. That’s where you come in.  HOW TO APPLY Reply with: Name / handle TTRPG experience (any level) What excites you most: mystery / roleplay / pulp action / horror / moral drama One-sentence character pitch (Example: “A masked vigilante who can’t feel pain—and doesn’t know why.”) - if you would rather come up with a character concept at a later time, that is perfectly fine Pull your coat tight. Light a cigarette. The city’s about to give up its secrets… …and it won’t be pretty.
Name / handle: Lachlan / @LachlanMcLeod TTRPG experience (any level): I have played D&D, Star Wars, Star Trek, Gear Krieg, Call of Cthulhu (1920s), and many others, and have been playing various RPG's since 1978. What excites you most: mystery / roleplay / pulp action / horror / moral drama:  Pulp action and moral drama - two tastes that taste great together! One-sentence character pitch: A psychic (whose visions always include some kind of oncoming doom) driven to near-insanity by exposure to the paranormal (remember, if you can see It, then It can see you)
