Book of the Associate: A Mobster’s How-To Manual & Role-Playing Game

Blood ties. Secret codes. Unbreakable loyalties. Welcome to the inner sanctum of the underworld, where every move is a calculated gamble and respect on the street is earned—or taken—at the barrel of a Tommy Gun. Part riveting “how-to” guide and part fully fleshed-out role-playing game, this book invites you to explore the storied traditions of Cosa Nostra while learning to command the respect of friends and enemies alike. From the basics of “Omertà” and the art of negotiation, to building a crew and organizing the perfect shakedown, you’ll get an up-close look at what it takes to become the ultimate power player in a world where betrayal is just another business expense.
Features Include:
A gripping overview of mob life—past, present, and legendary.
Fully interactive role-playing rules that put you in the boss’ chair.
Insider “tips” on everything from forging alliances to planning a heist.
Unique nods to true-crime history, including Capone’s infamous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.
Whether you’re a gamer, a history buff, or just a curious bystander with a taste for risk, this book promises an offer you can’t refuse: the thrill of the mob, brought right to your tabletop—without the pesky prison sentences.
