In Shanghai, the remnants of the Luoist reformed into aid societies for salt smugglers, dock hands, and migrant laborers. In the early 1900s, one of these aid societies evolved into the Green Gang; a secret criminal organization that came to control all “vice” in Shanghai.
Shanghai was the perfect environment for a secret criminal organization; multiple jurisdictions (the International Settlement, the French Concession, Old Town) to hide in; a massive influx of desperately poor people looking for work; and a port of entry for opium. Through successive generations of leadership, the Green Gang expanded its control of prostitution, gambling, opium dens, and extortion rackets.
The Sassoon Files will be a set of scenarios and campaign resources for Lovecraft and Cthulhu Mythos role-playing games (RPGs) set in historical 1920s Shanghai; an international city of intrigue, espionage, style and violence.
The Sassoon Files will be based on the GUMSHOE SRD (found at http://www.pelgranepress.
