Muckrakers and Magic in Old New York About the game— Dangerous Times is a tabletop role-playing game for two or more players, played in sessions each describing a single "issue" of a publication. Players take the role of journalists who put their lives on the line to document corruption, disaster, and crime— in a 1920s New York that’s just discovered magic. There's danger and suspense, but players don't always set out to punch evil in the face— sometimes they just try to live through encounters with it. As long as reporters survive to inform the public, there's a chance for the world to change. (from the Kickstarter)
