Gambini Crime Family

 

The Gambini family has a long and storied history, stretching back several generations. Vito's grandfather was a notorious bootlegger during Prohibition, and his father was a powerful organized crime figure in his own right. Vito grew up surrounded by the family's criminal activities and was groomed from a young age to take over as leader.

Nightfall's Angels

Nightfall's Angels is a grassroots organization that has gained a reputation for its work in reducing crime rates and improving public safety in Nightfall Bay. The group was founded in the late '80s by John and Rachel Roberts in response to the rampant violence and criminal activity that plagued the borough's transit system. Since then, Nightfall's Angels has expanded its activities to include a wide range of community service and educational programs.

The Nightfall Family

 

Nightfall Bay, formerly known as Staten Island, is a borough of New York City that is shrouded in mystery and intrigue. At the center of it all is the Nightfall family, a wealthy and powerful dynasty that has been the subject of countless rumors and legends. The family's origins trace back to the founding of Nightfall Bay itself, with Henry Nightfall serving as the patriarch and driving force behind the family's rise to prominence.

Today, the Nightfall family is headed by Henry's eldest son, Marcus, who is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and influential people in Nightfall Bay. Alongside him are his sister Isabella, cousin Victor, and a host of other family members who each play a unique role in the family's operations. From Charles Nightfall's shrewd business dealings to Elizabeth Nightfall's legal expertise, the family's wealth and power are bolstered by a diverse array of talents and skills.

An Introductory Post for Nightfall Bay

Not my notebook, random pic I found

 

 

As I sifted through the pages of my old notebooks, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of ideas. Tucked away in one book, I found a story about a new Mafia crime family that I had created called the Nightfall family. In my story, one of Nightfall family members tried to come into Gotham to expand their empire but failed as the characters chased the Nightfall family out of Gotham and back to Nightfall Bay, a city that I had invented as a neighboring city to Gotham.

Back in the day, we all thought Gotham City was like New York City, and DC Comics wasn't always forthcoming about where their cities were located. That's why I invented Nightfall Bay, a place that I based on Staten Island. Why not? Its a neighboring "city". 

I remember heading to the library and poring over maps until I found the perfect one. I spent hours sketching and redrawing until I had the right key places in the right spots. Tracing paper worked wonders. (sadly that map is no where to be found, I guess it fell out of the notebook. Sigh. I'll have to recreate it somehow.)

As I dug deeper, I discovered that the Island was originally named something else until 1975 when it was renamed to Staten Island. And that's when it hit me. What if I made the Nightfall family a rich and powerful clan like the Wayne family, but instead of doing good, they took hold of the city and renamed it after themselves? And just like that, Nightfall Bay was born.

 I have all the family members (kind of) written up, I came up with tons of other super villains and even supers that visited the city. I made Nightfall bay my

Now, years later, I've decided to share my creation with the world. I'm transferring my write-ups, notes, and other musings to my blog so that others can enjoy the story that I've created.

New Advantage: Favor

 

 

Favor

Cost: 30 Points

A "Favor" advantage represents a character's special relationship with an NPC who is willing to go above and beyond to help them out. This NPC could be a friend, mentor, or ally who has resources, knowledge, or influence that the character can call on for assistance. Unlike the Connection advantage, which only provides information and resources, a character with Favor can count on their NPC ally to come to their aid no matter what. He may not always have what the character needs at the time of the call but is willing to help out and give a hand in any way possible.

The Favor advantage can be used to represent a close bond between the character and the NPC, whether it's based on shared experiences, personal loyalty, or a mutual sense of obligation. The GM can work with the player to create a backstory and personality for the NPC that reflects this bond, and can use the NPC as a plot device to create interesting challenges and opportunities for the character.

Note: This is not to be used as a "crutch" for character and its only to show the importance of a character and his backstory. It's also important to note that not every character will have the Favor advantage, and it should be reserved for characters who have a special connection to an NPC that is crucial to their backstory or motivations. The GM has the right to limit the number of characters who have the Favor advantage in order to maintain balance and prevent it from overshadowing other character abilities.
