About
STRUGGLE CITY is a fictional American city. State is irrelevant, so just randomize that shit. The city is an urban sprawl of run-down buildings, trashy apartments and cheap shops. The police are useless and corrupt, which only contributes to STRUGGLE CITY’s dismay. While there are a few normal, sensible people trying live modest lives and running honest businesses, the city is less of a place of living and more of a fight pit. Gangs, criminals, hooligans and other undesirables litter the streets, always fighting for god knows what stupid reason. Naturally, none of them are very bright either, so the slug feasts that occur aren’t exactly action-movie worthy. It’s might makes right on these streets. For some strange reason, people tend to drop money upon being defeated, so street fighting isn’t exactly that bad of a gig in STRUGGLE CITY. Generate a variety of colorful and oddball gangs and jobbers. Emphasize how stupid these hostile men and women are. Firearms and other lethal projectiles, for no real reason, will always fail to function within the city. If anyone tries to use one, describe the weapon’s failure in a comically complicated manner that defies all logic.
Opening
For some god forsaken reason, you step foot into STRUGGLE CITY. It’s just as bad as you’ve heard: buildings are dilapidated to the point of ruin. Barrels that hobos use for ghetto campfires are at the corner of every dingy bodega. Brick walls and windows are covered in graffiti with questionable artistic ability. Potholes litter the roads so much that you’d be better off walking, but of course, that poses its own challenges. Not too far off by an underpass, you can see a couple of knuckle-draggers throw sloppy punches like a couple of children play fighting while others argue to the point of creating their own mini-mosh pit. It’s quite a sight to behold, really… and you’re here among them.
