Crimefighters

    So I was mucking about the interwebs yesterday looking at pulpy stuff. I came across something I had not thought about in a while. A game by TSR from back in the day that was published in Dragon magazine, called "Crimefighters". Written by basically a legend, David "Zeb" Cook. It's very much a product of its time. But, it's still a fun and functional game. Here's the blurb about it from wikipedia.

Crimefighters is a 1981 TSR pulp-themed tabletop role-playing game created by game designer David Cook.^[1][2][3][4] Crimefighters was originally released in issue 47 of the March 1981 edition of Dragon magazine.^[5][6]

The game featured artwork by artist Jeff Dee^[1][7] who also drew the Crimefighters game character Dark Night Dan.^[1]

Crimefighters was included in the Dragon Magazine Archive, a collection of five CD-roms comprising the first 250 issues of Dragon magazine.^[8]

Game overview[edit]

Crimefighters emulates the 1930s pulp adventures of characters such as Doc Savage, The Spirit, The Spider and The Shadow.^[1]

Character classes players can choose from are Defender, a law-abiding crimefighter, Avenger, a vigilante, or Pragmatist, one who obeys the spirit, if not the letter of the law.^[1]
