Inner City is a role-playing game published by Inner City Games Designs in 1982.

Description

Inner City is a contemporary crime system with humorous overtones. [1] The PCs are Citizens or Crooks; character subclasses include cops, politicians, vigilantes, FBI agents, and hoods; most of these subclasses may be either Crooks or Citizens. [1] The object is to get ahead and make more money. [1] Skills are increased directly through experience gained in encounters. [1] The system contains numerous charts and tables (for encounters, "treasure," etc.), but few actual rules systems. [1]

Publication history
