CARPE OMNIS
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.
The city is known by many names -- The Entertainment Capital of the World, famous for her distractions. Sin City, infamous for her shady underworld.
To hundreds of thousands of people a year, this city is a prime tourist spot -- a sparkling, shining parlour of a million amusements. To many, it is a home, a place to work and play, raise children and live out the rest of their lives. To others, it is a territory that must be worked. For some, it is their cradle. For a few, their grave as well.
But for the Mancini and D'Ambrosio families, it goes far beyond that.
Both the Mancinis and the D'Ambrosios are Italian-American mafia families vying for control of their Sin City, second- and third-generation mobsters who have been duking it out since their fathers settled here in the 1950s. They have their hands sunk deep into the mire of organized crime dealings, each family controlling their own territories through use of extortion, illegal gambling, kidnapping, frauds, counterfeiting, infiltration of legitimate businesses, murders, and even political and judicial corruption.
Their brutal wars engulf the city, and gunfire, bomb threats and sabotage rain down from both parties, and while territories may shift, while lives may be lost and broken, neither side gains any ground. Whether these wars stay private or leak into the public light, everyone is affected by them whether they are aware of it or not.
To these two families and those affected by them, Las Vegas is more than their cradle, playground, or grave -- it is a battleground in a war in which they would either win or lose everything. And both families have no intention other than to seize it all.
CARPE OMNIS is an intermediate-advanced, all-original Las Vegas RPG that focuses around two warring mob families. We have a little something for everyone with characters ranging from mob bosses and their families, crooked Vegas cops, CSIs, doctors and nurses at the local hospital, drug-dealing criminals, teachers and students at the local school, and the civilians caught amongst it all, falling through the cracks. The admins are drama-driven, are always looking for plot ideas, and highly encourage player involvement, so...
"Get dressed, you're goin' for a ride."
