I didn't mention the relationships, I should have. Walther traded a list with names of railroad workers to get rid of an FBI agent that had been shadowing him for a while. The conductor on the night train seemed like the kind of guy who could make such a thing happen and Walther went for it. We actually don't know what happened to the agent, but it worked! Brent had to get rid of this dance girl or whatever in LA, in a desperate attempt to save his career, and used some seedy contacts to eventually locate Johnny Eyes to do it for him. When Brent fled to Chicago, Johnny came along and is now a hitman with a rising popularity. Carl Cutter was known to Leon's as a mover in the underworld. When Carl was arrested for something, Leon went down to the cells and offered him a deal: walk free in return for access to information about big deals going down. Snap. Prices: in a way they all have the same effect: -1 to all initial social rolls involving people from the middle-class and upwards – at least that’s what goes for Walther and Leon, I think Brent’s club foot has the same effect.

A few prices don't have clear mechanical consequences and they need 'em. I don't quite see nor understand the relationship between the sorcerers and their demons. Was that clearer to you when making the characters or are they kind of just people they know from around town? I love hard-drinking, tough noir cops. Rock on. All of the characters look amazing; I love the 50's vibe that is running through this so hard. A few things.
