Heck, if all I have to do is drop encouragement your way ... well ... consider yourself encouraged! And banished to your dungeon/basement until you find everything!  |

Looking forward to that... FOR SURE! A great setting choice. Are you surprised they're starting in 1920? I always thought games set a few years later (after the FBI got going and the Bureau of Prohibition had their powers enhanced as you discussed in the GB rulebook) were a little more fun, and balanced for the law enforcers. |

Not surprised with its focus on gangsters and Atlantic City, 1920 is a good starting point. Your point of making a balance with law enforcement certainly would push you into wanting to focus on the 30s (especially after June of 1933 and the Kansas City Massacre).
There was always my one time working title of "Roaring 20s, Bloody 30s", which had some historical basis, but not the "pop" of a "Public Enemy" or eventually "Gangbusters".
Atlantic City has always been an interesting criminal backdrop even into the 50s & 60s and the Jersey connection with the successful "Sopranos" probably got the series made.

An additional note: the date on the newspaper poster advertising "Gangbusters" is Friday, February 15, 1929.
