28: Underworld City Games
That got me thinking about games like Gangbusters and stories such as Peaky Blinders. Misadventures in the Big City as distinct from on the road. They don’t all have to be hardboiled noir stories - Some Like It Hot plays musicians on the run from the Mob for farce.
This would fit Victorian London in a way that the Western ideas wouldn’t despite the time overlap, and in the 1920s and 30s it would feel different than my traveling Adventure! and Call Of Cthulhu ideas. And this kind of trouble can still be a thing nowadays, for the likes of Haven: City Of Violence as well as the Darkness family of games.

Dodging gangsters gets to the point of being a Work Scene, and the constant nervous energy leads to playing the jazz version of Face Melters
