 INTRODUCTION
An intense crime wave hits the city! From gang wars to
corrupt officials down to jaywalking.
The city of Newsville is a 50’s retro-futurist dream. Art
nouveau never left the architecture of its many neigh-
borhoods and despite the passage of time it feels like the
years never passed for its population for the fashion of the
early 20 century/late 19th century seems to be in vogue.
Despite that, government policy is as modern as it can
be, following the local and federal laws to a T. Why then,
suddenly violence spills on the streets?
Crime went from being a quaint little memory of an age
long gone to the most constant presence in Newsville.
Almost as if a specter haunted its gutters.
That is because Mr. Crime has come to town, bearing gifts
most illegal!
ENTER MR. CRIME
From the pages of the golden age comic ‘Crime does no
pay’, comes Mr. Crime. A specter of a human desire to
transgress the public order and to do something illegal.
He can’t be detected, existing in these stories as a literary
device, a ‘devil on your shoulder’ creature that pushes
people into breaking the law, the more violent and terrible,
the better!
For this Savage Worlds adventure, he is at his nastiest!
Manifesting through the city of Newsville, the amount of
crime happening materialized in his body. Now amid the
chaos he hops and dances, absorbing the Crime energy all adapted as ‘Novices’ for Savage Worlds. They are set as
around his greatest work!
Once and for all, it is time to teach Mr. Crime that it does
not pay.
However, do not let this silver age-y premise fool you.
There is a larger debate, of morals vs. Laws that the
adventure will -not- explore directly, but the ‘best ending’
does invite the idea that solving and preventing crime is a
team effort of building rapport rather than just punching a
crime ghost in the face.
Expect an action-packed adventure that will make your
players face a colorful take on what crime is explored
through the lens of the golden age comic “Crime does not more resilient than the citizens, they are not smarter nor
pay”.
For enemy extras and Aces character sheets, refer to
Appendix II – Criminal Elements.
Setting Rules
We will provide rules for both base SWADE and Super
Powers Companion for the pre-generater characters, but
the adventure can be easily run as just the base game.
However, Mr. Crime is best placed in a super-hero setting,
even if a low-powered one. We strongly suggest a power
level of 1 or 2 for this adventure or at least characters with
some sort of Arcane Background.
Criminal Bennies
As the Aces face certain key crimes on the adventure, if
the person committing the crime goes through it, Mr.
Crime obtains a ‘Criminal Bennie’. These Bennies can
be used like regular Bennies, but they can also be used to
convince an Extra to commit a crime on the spot. Just by
spending the Bennie, any Extra on the scene will attempt
to commit something illegal as stated by Mr. Crime. This
can be activated at any point in the Adventure, so we
provide Appendix I – Random Crime table. You do not
have to roll on it, you can just pick and choose whatever
fits the context of the scene. But if you wish to add a bit
of chaos to your particular session, we recommend rolling
the crime and seeing what sort of danger comes from it!
Protectors of a besieged city
The adventure begins with the player characters, all some
sort of costumed adventurer vigilante or deeply concerned
citizen with a unique set of skills is brought together in
the headquarters of the “Anti-Crime Society” or ACS.
This non-government organization emerged once the
police corruption in Newsville was too much to bear. If
a player doesn’t have a character ready to go, feel free to
use one of our pre-made Aces. Three need the Super Pow-
ers Companion, three only need the base book. Feel free
to mix and match! They can be also used as Extras.
Playable Superheroes
You will need the Savage Worlds Super Powers Com-
panion to properly parse these 3 Golden Age heroes fully
Power Level 1, perfect for a pulp-inspired adventure.
They are: Black Terror, Miss Fury, and Blue Bolt.
Playable Citizens
These characters all operate using just Savage Worlds’
core rulebook! They also come from the Golden Age of
Comics and are very close to pulp stories.
Mix-and-Match
While the superheroes are beefier, more powerful, and
are they better at social encounters. Considering how
much a non-combatant can help in a Savage Worlds
encounter they are much closer on power levels than they
first appear. Mix-and-matching isn’t an issue at all, in fact
‘Albino’ Jo and Miss fury were written to reinforce each
other based on their comic book relationship.

MISS FURY
Origin: Marla Drake was an eccentric socialite that lived off her family fortune doing all sorts of PR stunts. One of the said stunts
was purchasing a cursed black outfit imbued with ancient and terrible magic. As a treat, she wanted to dress up and spook up people
at a gala party she had been invited to. This was when she received a visit by international detective ‘Albino’ Jo, who knew quite a
lot about the hexed garb. He told her ‘With every favor gained, you will receive two misfortunes’ when it came to black magic.
Marla did heed Jo’s words and they became fast friends. However, at the very gala party, a mass shooter emerges from the rafters.
She activates the powers of the enchanted black costume and quickly dispatches the murderer before he could do much damage.
The next day she discovered her luxury apartment went up in flames.
The event did turn her into a costumed adventurer, working alongside ‘Albino’ Jo and other detectives, however, Marla hesitates
before activating her super powers, saving them for only the crucial moments.
Roleplaying Tips: Marla has an adoptive son and a very active social life and this is very important for the character. As in this
‘crime busting’ thing is something she feels compelled to do rather than something she does for fun. The balance between her adven-
turous and heroic spirit versus her life is a constant struggle that Marla puts a brave face on. The key to playing Miss Fury is internal-
izing the conflict and always having it in your mind as you do her super-heroics and her socialite ways.

 PLAYABLE CONCERNED CITIZENS
TIGER MAN
Origin: Lietnaunt Benton is a rich inheritor of the Benton family
fortune (no relation to Black Terror) that opened a private eye
agency called “Tiger’s Den” after quitting the army. Using his
fortune he built a personal brand, calling himself ‘Tiger Man’
and adding tiger stripes to bikes, cars and even planes.
He fights and uncovers crimes for fun but he is extremely
competitive when he does so, getting personally involved in any
case his agency is in. Whenever he shows his wrath, it is like a
tiger is roaring on his back. If you dial ‘T-I-G-E-R-M-A-N’ you
get patched through a special phone line in which you can get
Tiger’s Den services for free – That is, if Tigerman deems its
worth his time.
Roleplaying Tips: Tigerman is full of himself thinking he is
smarter, stronger and more influential than everyone else in the
room. He is an adventurer yes but he also doesn’t even compre-
hend how much in over his head he is in said adventures. You
must play this straight, not for laughs. Represent the spirit of a
fierce tiger in the body of an athletic but an ‘average’ rich man.

‘ALBINO’ JO
Origin: Jo is a Guarani, from the city of Parati located in Brazil.
As a native of that land, he was always fascinated by occultism
as well as crime stories. His passion and sharpness about said
subjects allowed him to embark on a journey that had him attend
Harvard university and become a criminologist. After graduating,
Jo becomes a globe-trotting adventurer providing his special-
ized services to deal with occult-related crimes. He has strange
eyes he was born with, a unique disease that impairs his sight
somewhat. It also has his iris shaped like a tiger, earning him the
moniker ‘The man with tiger eyes’.
Roleplaying tips: ‘Albino’ Jo isn’t Albino! His mixed heritage
has given him blonde hair yet that comes from his grandmoth-
er. Brazilians tend to give unusual appearances nicknames that
exaggerate their nature, thus this is how Jo became ‘Albino’ Jo.
He is very connected with his Guarani roots but he is also a
worldly man who has traveled the globe in search of adventure
and curious occult cases.

LOIS CAYLEY THE THIRD
Origin: The granddaughter of Lois Cayley (the first), Lois
Cayley the Third was very close to her grandmother, absorbing
all of her tales of high adventure and world traveling. Inspired
by her, she worked hard to get into Cambridge University and
recreate her steps. Keeping the Cayley spirit alive, she became a
world-renowned detective that works for Interpol on a freelance
basis.
Roleplaying Tips: Lois is spirited, energetic, and very easy to
talk to. However, she is very sharp and is always thinking ahead.
It is very easy to fall for her charms just as it easy to fall for her
ploys. The best way to represent this is to use her persuasive
mannerisms to obtain results or befriend NPCs that will serve
functions for Lois Cayley.

CRIME WAVE
ACT I - THE MEETING
When everyone has properly gathered for the game, char-
acter sheets at the ready, read the following out loud:
“The dingy, poorly lit room tells the tale. An impover-
ished population desperate about recent events raised a
cash prize to any would-be adventurer to do what the gov-
ernment couldn’t do: Stop the never-ending crime wave.
Sitting across from you on a banged-up desk is an older
woman, in her 70s. Her name is Martha. And between
puffs of smokes, she tells you a tale to astonish.”
Martha will go on and say it all happened so suddenly.
Newsville was this ‘retro’ city with architecture from the
’20s preserved and well-taken care of a proud and quaint
little town. Yet everything happened so suddenly.
One bad day is all it took for youth gangs to form, out of
nowhere.
It took merely a moment on the news to showcase corrup- Newsville city
tion scandal after corruption scandal regarding the city
government.
The second week rolled by and now police brutality is
on the rise. Even petty crimes like shoplifting were being
answered by brutal beatdowns and gunfire.
Citizens were caught in the crossfire of operations that
had no approval and no warning from the police force.
And in a similar vein, out of the blue, all sorts of drug
trafficking start passing through Newsville. From a dream
of the past to a nightmare of the present, what is happen-
ing to Newsville is, according to Martha “Not real”.
This is not a normal occurrence. A city doesn’t suddenly
have a crime problem from every front, from every angle.
Even the ‘crime fighting’ done by the police has found
a cruel and flat-out illegal manner to behave. Newsville
went from crime-free to quickly become the crime capital block, with only the suburbs being the true ‘residential
of America.
It is at this point that she places atop the old desk six
pictures. She goes on to explain these were the first six
crimes, each happened on a different weekday from
Monday to Saturday. She invites the Aces to explore these to work. And with good reason, kidnappings are up by
crime scenes. Uncover what they can. And find a way to
solve this most unusual problem. And be on the lookout
for something weird.
After this somewhat wordy intro, allow the Aces to react
to this and roleplay to their hearts’ content. Provide ben-
nies to any character that contributes to the scene. They
will probably ask for more information regarding the city
or the particular crime cases. For the city itself, Newsville “Not one soul can be seen outside. It was as if the asphalt
only ‘mandatory’ feature is its retro Art Noveau archi-
tecture really, it can be placed in any region of America
(And why not beyond?) so add color and concepts that fit
a larger setting, or simply color up as an alternate version
of the city you are currently living on. Just make sure to
keep note of Martha’s answers, for they are to be facts.
So if you decide that the Firefighters are for some reason,
a private organization, the players will expect this to be
a real thing in the city! For more information on certain
Newsville specifics as well the criminal cases, hop to Act
II.
ACT II - CITY OF CRIME
Crime is going down in the city, this is where we house
the many trials and tribulations tossed at the Party.
Once the party is out of Martha’s office, they are free to
explore, research, and get into trouble!
Whenever a character travels from one block to another,
please check the ‘Random Encounter’ table. Finally,
advance to ‘Mr. Crime Wild Ride’ after players visit 3
crime scenes. Keep note we refer to the special crime
scenes denoted by Martha and not the random crimes that
can happen as the heroes explore Newsville.
Founded at the peak popularity of the Art Noveau aesthet-
ic, Newsville city has this name for being the center of
print media in America. Its paper industry is the number
one in the country and even as people moved on to digital
media and a deep recession hit the locals, they preserved.
It was through the newspapers that truth was told, so it
was the truth that kept people together in this particular
community.
There are three blocks in the city where most things
happen:
Residential Block
Originally built around a large church, the Residential
Block quickly expanded, and despite its name, many
services such as schools and even offices operate in this
only’ region of said block. Petty crime did exist but all
things considered, it was quite low compared with the
national average. Now?
Residents of this block are too scared to even commune
1000%, and entering a cab or any form of public transpor-
tation is a bad gamble. The very first ‘odd’ crime hap-
pened in this block, for more information please refer to
Crime #1 – Jaywalking.
As the Aces approach the streets of the Residential block,
read the following out loud:
was to be avoided at all costs. Besides the odd fast-mov-
ing vehicle, there is barely anything to see here. Besides11
the crime scene, that is.”
11
 They are free to explore this silent city, considering there
is only one crime scene there isn’t much to see on this
block.
Market Block
Despite the ‘market’ descriptor, there is plenty of apart-
ment and housing in this block. The proximity to a
stream of cheap labor made this zone attractive to most
working-class citizens that immigrated to Newsville in
the 20s after. This is the crime hot zone, where the youth
gangs have formed and divided their ‘grounds’. The gang
“Laughing Skull” is at war with the “Flaming Rioters”,
with all the smaller gangs aligning with one or the other.
The strange thing is they have fully given up living nor-
mal lives, the gangs seem to exist as looters and rioters of
goods of the Market Block. Crime # 2 – Murder, Crime
# 3 – Police Brutality, and Crime #4 – Robbery all hap-
pened in this block.
As the Aces approach the streets of the Market block,
read the following out loud:
“Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering pierces your ears.
The boutique right around the block exploded! As a group
of young men invades said store, one can’t help to notice
they are all wearing red jackets. It doesn’t take long for a
large contingent of bikers to encircle the boutique as well,
donning skull-stamped helmets. A brawl is about to go
down and a group of citizens sits right in the middle of the
crossfire!”
There are around 6 Gang Flaming Riot Gang Members
inside the store, meanwhile, there are 5 bikers from the
Laughing Skull gang. And they are ready to go!
Let the Aces decide how they handle this on a ‘surprise’
round, they have yet to be noticed. They can choose to
hide and watch, run away, or even get into the scuffle.
If the players decide to just sit and watch, some gang
members will try to rough up the Aces, and if the charac-
ters do hide, roll a notice check for the gang extras to see
if they detect the party. If they do catch a whiff there are
‘civilians’ on their conflict, they will prioritize beating the
Aces first and foremost. There is always the possibility of
rescuing the civilians by drawing attention from the gang
members and letting them run away as far as they can go.
It is important to note that if the Aces do nothing, the
civilians will be trampled and caught in the gang violence
without hesitation, which will net Mr. Crime a Crime
Bennie.
Make note of their fate (it will impact the possible end-
ings).
As for combat, these extras are thugs under the influence
of Mr. Crime. They derive a strange pleasure in hurting
well, anyone. It is hard to reason with them, requiring a
Persuasion Check at -2 for them to even hear what the
Aces have to say. Even if they do get something out of the
gangs, it is a strange chanting about ‘Crime...Crime made
me do it...’ – Something off and eerie.
If combat does happen, after the first round, introduce in
the scene the antagonistic Aces “Skull-Head” and “Red
Flame”.
Skull-Head is a massive muscular behemoth of a man,
towering 7 feet tall. He wears a leather mask painted to
look like a human skull, meanwhile Red Flame is punk
woman with a tall mohawk painted orange, wearing a
bandanna to cover her lower face. Despite arriving later,
they greatly escalate the violence, charging either at the
aces or at the opposing gang members!
Whenever Skull-Head or Red Flame suffers a wound, a
ghostly appearance flickers into existence for a short, brief
moment. A clue about Mr. Crime’s possession occurring
in the town.
Be it by avoiding it, saving the civilians, running away
from it, or a combination of it all, only after this encoun-
ter can the Aces finally explore the Market Block crime
scenes in search of clues.
Industry Block
The core of the print industry used to live here. Now,
most of the factories have fully stopped, with only three
large ones still in operation. The good news is that they
do provide the bulk of print for America. The bad news is
that the once-abandoned buildings have been occupied by
gun runners and traffickers, making Newsville the crime
capital of the nation.
As the Aces arrive, read the following loudly:
“This used to be the part of the town that never slept.
Print news, magazines, books, and anything in between
had no schedule other than current times. The backbone
of knowledge and information has been reduced to some
abandoned buildings. Inside this husk, there is the rotting
stench of foul crimes.”
This block has two crime scenes, Crime #5 – Embezzle-
ment and Crime #6 – Office Theft. Exploring the aban-
doned factories is dangerous, gang members from the
Flaming Rioters and the Laughing Skull can be found
either living there. While they are more approachable
than the Mr. Crime possessed crime members found in the
market block, they will not hesitate of robbing the Aces
blind. They just will run away in case they take a beating.
If you wish to set up an encounter, a 2 to 1 Extras against
the Aces is enough to provide some pressure.
Besides this, there isn’t much to stop the party from look-
ing into the Crime Scenes for this block.

These crime scenes were the very first six crimes influ-
enced by Mr. Crime. They hold a powerful meaning to the
spirit and represent an entire ‘texture’ to the concept of
crime and violence.
The criminal returns to the scene of the crime every day
as if they were compelled to do so.
Crime #1 – Jaywalking
Region: Residential Block
The Crime: The criminal crossed a street in an unmarked
place while the signal was green. This is the lowest crime
in Newsville, to the point that the criminal wasn’t even
charged.
The Criminal: Ethel Emerson, a 70-year-old bird watch-
er. She kept Jaywalking in the same spot, which brought
attention to the news on a slow day.
The Revisit: Ethel is still there. As the party arrives, a
nearby traffic light goes from ‘green’ to ‘red’. Ethel be-
gins crossing the street. As she does so, the silhouette of a
man dressed in a top hat can be seen in her shadow. Now
stopping Ethel is quite easy, shouting at her, entering in
front of her, grabbing her, basically accepting anything the
Aces do to stop her from crossing the street.
If they do nothing and allow her to do so, Mr. Crime gets
1 Crime Bennie.
Considering Ethel is caught in the act, questioning her
directly is the best way to ‘solve’ the investigation.
Ethel will mumble about a ‘man in a top hat’ who kept
whispering to her to sever the bonds of civilization, to
drink from the cup of uncertainty, and undo man’s laws.
So she kept jaywalking this one street until he would stop
bothering her. But he kept whispering. Even now, she can
hear it. She begs for the heroes to do something about it.
She has no clue she was being whispered by the phantom
Mr. Crime.
Crime # 2 – Murder
Region: Market Block
The Crime: The Criminal was carrying their gro-
ceries when suddenly they dropped their bags, draw
a knife, and stabbed an elderly person in the gut,
killing them.
The Criminal: Marcus Johnson is a 25-year-old
law school student who never broke the law and had
straight As in his entire life.
The Revisit: There is a silhouette drawn in chalk
around the body of the victim that has been collect-
ed. As they approach the crime scene, a lady in her
thirties can be seen crouching next to the chalk line.
This is Tiffany, daughter of the victim, Tim. If the
Aces approach her, she will produce a knife, stained
with blood, and try to charge the nearest Ace! Use
the “Citizen in Distress” sheet if you have to repre-
sent Tiffany.
A persuasion check can quickly snap her out of her
murderous rage. Doing so, a white ghost specter
wearing a top hat can be seen exiting her body and
dematerializing.
In tears, she will explain she returns to the crime
scene every day and whenever she does, the voice
tells her that the only way she can connect with her
father again is to kill and set free another soul. She
misses her dad so much, that she turned the knife
on the Aces. She says she needs help. Yet she also
claims her body moved on her own as if someone
was pushing her arms and controlling the knife in her
stead.
Crime # 3 – Police Brutality
Region: Market Block
The Crime: A group of five cops accosted a young
man who was caught shoplifting. They beat him
to an inch of their life, then left the scene once the
shopkeeper said he ‘gifted’ the item the man grabbed,
horrified by what just had happened. The crime
happened in an alleyway next to a street mall known
only as ‘Buy2fast’.
The Criminal: The policemen who did the beating
all wore masks and had their dash cam turned off.
They are unknown. However, more and more masked
policemen can be seen roaming Newsville. Violence
follows them.
The Revisit: As the Aces approach the alley, five
masked cops emerge from the darkness. They all
hold billy clubs and won’t hesitate to charge the
party!
Use the Crooked Cop sheet for them. Describe
how there is a strange glow or halo around the cops’
masks. A successful called shot on the head will un-
mask the cop, breaking Mr. Crime’s spell, and mak-
ing said cop catatonic. Otherwise, treat it as normal

ACT III - MR. CRIME WILD RIDE
The mastermind reveals itself, bringing changes to the
setting depending on how the players reached him.
As soon as the party is done exploring the third crime
scene, read the following loudly:
“A cold wind breezes through the region. Materializing
in front of you, a dapper man wearing a large top-hat
with the inscription ‘Crime’. This humanoid ghost has
long, pointy ears and sharp teeth that are displayed on a
devious smile.
‘I tire of this charade!’ belches the ghost.
‘I see a question in your eyes! You wonder who I am, don’t
you?! My name is on my hat as you can read! Call me Mr.
Crime. Where do I come from? Everywhere and nowhere.
I am everything that is evil!!’
it proclaims with pride.
‘Tonight I come to parley. Exchange some words, oh do
I have some demands! Attend to me if you would be so
kind.’
What will you do?”
The Aces can just put on hands and go to town on Mr.
Crime without hesitation, merely skip to the battle scene
section if they just want to scrap, but try to splice some of
the options and phrases we will discuss here.
If the heroes do choose to listen and interrogate Mr.
Crime, here’s a guide:
Roleplaying Mr. Crime
A born showman, make his words sound flashy and in-
viting. There is nothing more than Mr. Crime wants other
than recruit or push people into committing crimes. He
would prefer to recruit the characters rather than chastise
them. If any of them broke any laws, make Mr. Crime
comment on that and celebrate their criminal ways.
There is no secret he will not uncover if pressed. If Mr.
Crime knows of something, he will gladly share with the
group. For Mr. Crime is a pure spirit of malice, one that
is tethered to the concept of ‘Crime’. As in he will only
lie or omit truth if it breaks a law or helps him commit
crimes.
The truth
If questioned about the situation in Newsville, read the
following:
“Ah, I have to seem I caught your attention! Newsville
was a paradise. That is if you enjoy a world without crime.
What a boring thing to wish for! I came to town and be-
fore I knew I was knee-deep into a symphony of violence!
All I had to do was push into man’s vanity. Peace too can
be oppressing. It is a tasteless elixir you see! When chaos
is offered, when crime reigns, ah now one is to appreciate
the sweet taste of mayhem. What’s it to you? Do you wish
to help me rename this town ‘Crimesville’? Or will you
keep on playing hero and strike at me? The entire town
signs to my tune. A song of crime and hate!”
If the heroes mount an argument or even try to get physi-
cal with the crime ghost, Mr. Crime will say
“Oh sure. Focus on the negatives! Those precious cops, en-
forcers of justice can easily turn to crime as they pursue
punishment for the wicked. While we are at it, people are
all one push away from breaking some law. Abortion?
Marijuana? Patent laws that keep the price of medical
drugs up? Are you willing to let civilization chain your
possibilities in such a manner? There is love in that bond-
age. Allow me to show you the hate one can only find in
total freedom!”
And so, Mr. Crime will fight back. It is possible for the
heroes to simply run away and give up on their pursuit.
Or even join Mr. Crime. Refer to the ‘Crime DOES pay
actually’ ending.
Battle Scene
Even if the Aces get the jump on Mr. Crime, he did not
materialize without a plan. Invisible to the naked eye, the
crime spirits that had been visited by the party materialize
in the room. All possible crime scene spirits can be found
in Appendix II – Criminal Elements.
So even if the Aces sneak one hit in, draw initiative as
soon as the first sucker punch, with the spirits standing
around Mr. Crime 2 feet from him.
While the Spirits will attack the Aces back, they see the
protection of Mr. Crime as their first directive, to the point
that Mr. Crime can simply will one of them out of exist-
ence to Soak damage or even remove 1 wound. Mr. Crime
can do this at any point he could use a bennie, seeing the
spirits as ‘living criminal bennies’.
Speaking of which, on top of all uses the Criminal Bennie
emulates a regular Bennie, Mr. Crime can use a bennie to
summon a crooked cop or crime member from the shad-
ows. These are people lost to his strange spell, they are
alive and entranced. The only way to liberate these people
is to defeat Mr. Crime.
If Mr. Crime is indeed defeated, read the following out
loud:
“You strike at me, the embodiment of crime! You sap my
presence in this bore of a city. Very well then, have it back.
You will soon learn that once a crime is committed, you
cannot take it back...Justice is but an illusion...Yet injus-
tice scars the body and the mind…”

ACT IV - CRIME DOES NOT PAY
The thrilling conclusion
Several possible endings can happen depending on what
happened in the adventure, check the triggers here, and
if your party deviated a bit from the plot, feel free to mix
and match and find the perfect ending for this tale:
Join with Mr. Crime – Crime DOES pay, actually
Ending
Mr. Crime laughs as he dematerializes. Indeed, the city
has been taken into a never-ending crime wave. The Aces
are free to do as they please in this never-ending chaos
carnival of self-indulgence.
Ask them: Was it worth it to condemn an entire city to
violence?
“Ah, so you did it! You banished the ghost of crime. Yet
Justice, peace, and liberty cannot be whispered away in
this world. It is a choice as well as hard work. Would you
be so kind to continue the healing process? Many must be
consoled, others must be stopped before they lose them-
selves to the promise of unrestrained freedom. I am Lady
Liberty, the promise of a new tomorrow.”
A new adventure presents itself to the players. Will they
embark on it?
The consequences of their decision I leave in your capable
hands, Game Master.
Whatever crime scenes are visited, once the Aces finish
the third crime scene they visit, jump to “Mr. Crime Wild
Ride”.

As Mr. Crime dematerializes, so do the crime whisperers
around town. Now, people are free to follow the law or
break it to their hearts’ content. A shred of normalcy will
return to Newsville. However, it is impossible not to take
seriously Mr. Crime’s last words. Those who were victims
of crime will demand justice. And those who committed
were pushed to do so. Much healing needs to be done.
As the Aces return to Martha and the ACS building, they
notice the place has been ransacked. With file cabinets
tossed to the floor tables and chairs tossed into the ground.
Is in this debris that an envelope can be found. Inside
there are the dollars promised for the Aces and the follow-
ing message.
“Newsville will heal in time. Yet a scar will remain.”

brand new and instead of old dingy cabinets, computer
stations have replaced all file storage businesses. Martha
will approach the Aces. And just as she does, her body
becomes translucent. She has a pointy hat with the word
‘Liberty’ imprinted on it.

Citizen in Distress
(EXTRA)
The poor citizens of Newsville are currently going
through a socio-spiritual crisis. The ghost of Crime itself,
Mr. Crime, made a mockery of their civility and enticed
people to either give in into their own hubris and commit
violent crimes, or forced these citizens to experience a
senseless crime wave. Either way they are in distress.

(EXTRA)
The once proud and peaceful police from Newsville got

them. If a called shot to the head is successful, their mask
undoes and so does the spell from Mr. Crime.

criminal ways, but it does mean Persuasion and other
