TEXT: LA CATEDRAL
  { The Cathedral }
  The jewel of the downtown district. 
  Colonial towers toll their heavenly songs 
  each day, calling for los fieles. Inside, the 
  air smells of incense and burning candles, 
  but also of wealth and communal guilt.
  
  la catedral 
  When you seek asylum in La Catedral, 
  roll with Heat. Subtract 1 for each true 
  statement: 
   
  Ĵ You’re wounded or clearly in danger 
   
  Ĵ You’re a true believer or willing to lie
   
  Ĵ You brought dinero to “donate” to the 
  church’s cause
  On a miss, you are safe here, for now. 
  On a 7-9, the priests welcome you, but 
  you have to suffer through a patronizing 
  sermón; mark 2 stress. On a 10+, they 
  won’t have you staining la casa de Dios 
  with your shit; you’re out in the cold, 
  cabrón, and los lobos are at your heels.
  
  “LAS VENTANAS”
  { Restaurant }
  Power is no good if you can’t show it 
  off. At Las Ventanas, the powerful come 
  for luxury dinners that do as much for 
  their reputations as for their appetites. 
  When dining here, the size of your wallet 
  matters more than the size of your gun!
  
  “las ventanas”
  When you share a meal with someone at 
  Las Ventanas and pick up the check, roll 
  with Face instead of Hustle when you 
  try to pressure someone.
  
  VETERINARIA “FIDO”
  { Vet Clinic }
  There is something shady about Fido. 
  People have been coming and going in 
  the cover of night, leaving trails of blood 
  on the sidewalk. How desperate one must 
  be to come to a vet for medical attention!
  
  veterinaria “fido”
  When you are badly wounded and go to 
  Fido to get patched up, roll with Grit. On 
  a hit, the vet has everything they need 
  on hand; you’ll live, but you leave the 
  operation with a full stress track. On a 
  7-9, the vet’s work is rough; reduce your 
  Grit or Savagery—your choice—by 1. On 
  a miss, the vet does their best, but it’s not 
  enough; reduce your Grit or Savagery—
  your choice—by 1, güey, and get to a real 
  hospital before your time is up.
  
  CASA DE CITAS
  { Brothel }
  They say dinero can buy you almost 
  anything in this world. At la casa de citas, 
  this is a universal truth. But you better be 
  careful, cabrón, a house of pleasure can 
  very easily become a house of pain.
  
  casa de citas 
  When you throw an expensive and wild 
  party at the brothel, roll with Hustle. On 
  a hit, you find the experience refrescante; 
  clear three stress. On a 10+, you also 
  hear some gossip or rumors about your 
  enemigos from someone working at the 
  casa. On a miss, your vices put you in 
  a bad spot: someone catches you in a 
  vulnerable position or an old debt comes 
  due, your choice.
  
  “LOS HERNÁNDEZ”
  { Butcher Shop }
  Breaking bones and slicing meat both 
  require the right tools for the job. The 
  butcher’s trade is a messy one; you better 
  know what you are doing, culero, or the 
  blood can end up all over your face.
  
  “los hernández” 
  When you torture and kill an NPC at Los 
  Hernández to send a message to their 
  friends or allies, mark three stress and 
  roll with Savagery. On a hit, they hear 
  you loud and clear; hold 2. Spend your 
  hold—one for one—to take a 10+ instead 
  of rolling when you pressure or propose a 
  deal to one of the NPC’s friends or allies. 
  On a 7-9, your brutality shocks everyone; 
  permanently raise your Heat by 1. On a 
  miss, the murder merely emboldens your 
  enemigos; they strike back at you in a 
  clever and unexpected way.
  
  MOTEL “LA PARADA”
  { Cheap Motel }
  Couples come to La Parada for clandestine 
  pleasure. The motel offers discretion; pay 
  cash and no one asks questions. What better 
  place to hide when you are en peligro?
  
  motel “la parada”
  When you hide a wanted NPC at La 
  Parada motel, roll with questions:
   
  Ĵ Do they trust you completely? Take +1
   
  Ĵ Do they understand the danger they 
  are facing? Take +1
   
  Ĵ Do they have a famous face or 
  reputation? Take -1
   
  Ĵ Do they pose a threat to a powerful 
  narco? Take -1
  On a hit, they stay put and safe. On a 7-9, 
  they are too nervous; mark two stress as 
  you reassure them or let them bolt, your 
  choice. On a miss, they flee at the first 
  opportunity or their enemies arrive in 
  force, MC’s choice! Chíngale!
  
  CENTRO “LOS ARCOS”
  { Shopping Mall }
  People who think Mexico is just shacks 
  and deserts don’t know ordinary life. 
  Everyone comes to the mall here too, 
  cabrón, even los narcos. Visit the food 
  court, buy some sporting goods…but 
  don’t forget to watch your back.
  
  centro “los arcos”
  When you turn to violence in the 
  shopping mall by ambushing your 
  enemies, roll with Hustle instead of 
  Savagery. On a miss, your clever attack 
  is caught on film by someone in the 
  panicked crowd; take +1 ongoing to Heat 
  until you find some way to throw los 
  federales off your trail.
  
  BAR “LA CATRINA”
  { Night Club }
  The newest hot spot in downtown,  
  La Catrina is the place to go when you 
  want to get un poco loco. The music 
  thumping, the tragos flowing, and the 
  polvo filling your nostrils will all make 
  you forget your troubles carnal.
  
  bar “la catrina”
  When you lose yourself in cocaine at La 
  Catrina bar, roll with Face instead of 
  Grit and add these to the list of cocaine 
  drug moves:
   
  Ĵ promise someone importante 
  something you can’t deliver
   
  Ĵ get in the face of someone powerful 
  and influyente
  
  CRUZ ROJA
  { Red Cross }
  The Cruz Roja is a good place to get 
  patched up. But don’t be fooled, if you 
  arrive bleeding and vulnerable, the staff 
  will try to take advantage of you. It is 
  every cabrón for himself out there!
  
  cruz roja
  When you are badly wounded and go 
  to the Cruz Roja to get patched up, roll 
  with Heat. On a miss, they’ll fix you 
  up, but they want a promise of money, 
  protection, or favors, MC’s choice. 
  On a 7-9, they’ll provide help (as on a 
  miss), but they demand additional cash 
  upfront before tending to your wounds. 
  On a 10+, you stumble into an agent 
  of your enemigos before anyone can 
  provide medical aid.
  
  BANCO NACIONAL
  { National Bank }
  It’s too risky to walk around with a big bag 
  full of dinero, especially in Durango. But 
  who said a bank is not without risks too? 
  You know what they say: ladrón que roba 
  a ladrón…there’s no honor among thieves.
  
  banco nacional
  When you deposit a large sum to your 
  secret accounts at el banco nacional, roll 
  with Heat. On a miss, everything goes 
  smoothly; raise your lifestyle one level 
  until time passes. On a 7-9, your deposit 
  raises your lifestyle as on a miss...but 
  you attract the attention of los federales; 
  take +1 ongoing to Heat until time 
  passes, as well. On a 10+, your deposit 
  goes missing when a corrupt clerk seizes 
  the opportunity to make some easy 
  money; take -1 ongoing to straining your 
  finances until you recover the cash.
  
  PLAZA PRINCIPAL
  { Town Square }
  The Plaza Principal is one of the most 
  prominent downtown landmarks,  
  the vital, beating heart of la ciudad.  
  Each weekend, the colors and fiesta 
  attract ordinary citizens who share in the 
  simple joys of city life in México.
  
  plaza principal
  Mark xp when you hold a big social event 
  at the plaza; advance when you lay a trap 
  for someone at the plaza. Once you’ve 
  used this location to advance, you can’t 
  use it to mark xp or advance again.
  
  YONKE
  { Junkyard }
  A junkyard is the perfect cover for a 
  clandestine graveyard, a final resting place 
  for the cartel’s enemies. Just be careful 
  you’re not the next junk they bury, cabrón!
  
  yonke
  When you bury a dead NPC at el narco’s 
  junkyard, roll with Heat. On a miss, 
  nobody sees your dirty work; clear 1 
  stress as you lose the body for good. 
  On a hit, you hide the corpse, but your 
  junkyard digging also reveals the poorly 
  buried cadáver of someone you know. On 
  a 10+, you spot some federales watching 
  the junkyard right after you get the body 
  in the ground; what do they already 
  know, muchacho?
  
  LA SIERRA
  { Mountain Range }
  Away from everything, hard to reach, 
  lots of places to hide. Sure, going alone 
  to la sierra to get off the radar sounds 
  like a great idea. Clean water, a cozy bed, 
  internet…who needs those things!
  
  la sierra
  When you flee to la sierra to hide, roll 
  with Hustle. On a 10+, you find a secure 
  spot to lay low; they lose your trail for 
  now. On a 7-9, you can lose them, but 
  you’ll need to sacrifice any amenities or 
  protections you planned to have...you’ll 
  be alone in the wilds, citadino; fill your 
  stress track when you get back to town 
  to reflect the harrowing experience. On a 
  miss, you stumble onto the hideout of a 
  dangerous enemy. Buena suerte, cabrón!
  
  BILLARES “BOLA NEGRA”
  { Billiard Bar }
  Need a gun? Well it’s not that easy. This 
  ain’t los Estados Unidos, pendejo! But 
  don’t worry, I’ve got you covered; go to 
  Bola Negra and say I sent you...they may 
  even get you a special discount!
  
  billares “bola negra”
  When you go to the Bola Negra to buy 
  some illegal weapons, roll with Grit. On 
  a hit, choose any weapon off La Sicaria’s 
  playbook, provided you can pay. On a 
  10+, the traficante de armas is running a 
  special; pick something else off the list 
  for free. On a miss, you can still buy one 
  weapon (as on a hit), but your purchase 
  attracts a good deal of unwanted 
  attention; take +1 ongoing to Heat until 
  things blow over. 
  
  GIMNASIO CROSSFIT
  { Crossfit Gym }
  Feeling the pressure of this pinche life of 
  yours? Nothing like sweating it out with 
  a workout. Besides, people let their guard 
  down in the locker room. Who knows 
  what chisme you’ll hear while you’re there?
  
  gimnasio crossfit
  When you hit the showers after training 
  at the gym, roll with Grit. On a hit, you 
  feel fantastic after your workout; clear

  below. On a 10+, choose two.
   
  Ĵ You’re approached with a business 
  opportunity or potential investment
   
  Ĵ You hear a rumor about something of 
  interest to you or your allies
   
  Ĵ You spot an enemigo, vulnerable and 
  unaware of your presence
  On a miss, you get into an argument 
  with a pushy pendejo that ruins your 
  workout; fill your stress track or teach 
  them a lesson, your choice! Puta madre!
  
  “AY MAMITA!”
  { Strip Club }
  A strip club may not seem like the best 
  place for a meeting, but the ambience and 
  the drinks are the perfect atmosphere to 
  bring out people’s true colors. But watch 
  out: sometimes those colors are more 
  shady than you’d think!
  
  “ay mamita!”
  When you propose a deal at the Ay 
  Mamita! with cash in hand, roll with 
  Grit instead of Face. On a miss, you get 
  distracted by one of the dancers and 
  misplace the cash you brought with you 
  to make the deal. Gandallas!
  
  CLUB DE BOX “EL REY”
  { Boxing Gym }
  This world is ruled by la ley de la jungla. 
  The survival of the fittest. Might making 
  right. You better be prepared when you 
  step into the ring, cabrón; only the 
  strongest gets the crown at El Rey!
  
  club de box “el rey”
  When you fight in an illegal match at 
  El Rey, roll with Savagery. On a hit, 
  you crush the opposition; you win a 
  large sum of cash and live up to your 
  ferocious reputation. On a 7-9, you 
  also end up in trouble with a big fish 
  who lost a bunch of money betting 
  against you. On a miss, your opponent 
  humiliates you in the ring; mark two 
  stress and take -1 ongoing to Savagery 
  until you get payback against them.
  
  CASINO “EL ARLEQUÍN”
  { Casino }
  If you want to make it big, you need to 
  take risks. The only bad part of cheating 
  is getting caught! Be wise, pendejo! If you 
  try to steal from the tiburones, you better 
  be the best cheat playing in the game!
  
  casino “el arlequín”
  When you cheat at poker in El Arlequín, 
  roll with Grit. On a hit, you trick them all; 
  you win a bunch of dinero and impress 
  someone important. On a 7-9, you also 
  attract some suspicion; mark 2 stress or 
  deal with the pit boss, your choice. On a 
  miss, someone you’ve previously taken for 
  a lot of cash decides they’ve had enough; 
  they ambush you as you’re headed for 
  your car after the game. Mierda!
  
  CERESO
  { Prison }
  CERESO is an acronym for Centro 
  de Rehabilitación Social—Center 
  for Social Rehabilitation—but that’s 
  bullshit. No one wants to see old narcos 
  rehabilitated; they’d rather lock them up 
  in cages and throw away all the keys.
  
  cereso
  When you go to an old amigo (NPC) 
  in prison for information about some 
  narcos or los carteles, roll with Face.

  On a miss, they have only bad news for 
  you, cabrón. Only bad news...
  
  ESTACIÓN DE POLICÍA
  { Police Station }
  A nest of corruption and impunity. La 
  policía are not here to serve and protect, at

  with baro and power. You got any? Then 
  you better stay pinche lejos of the azules.
  
  estación de policía
  When you steal incriminating evidence 
  from a federal police station to protect 
  yourself or another PC, roll with Grit.

  even yourself—to take a -1 ongoing 
  to Heat until time passes. On a 7-9, 
  your heist takes a toll; fill your stress 
  track. On a miss, a federal catches you 
  handling the evidence; you better have a 
  good explanation for your actions, güey!
  
  LABORATORIO UNIVERSITARIO

  measures. But be cautious when you play 
  with chemicals, amigo; you can easily 
  get burned by your own arrogance!
  
  laboratorio universitario
  When you steal supplies from the 
  University Lab, roll with Grit. On a hit, 
  you get away with the goods. On a 10+,

  to La Misión for a party, roll with Face. On

  bring your enemigos with them as well. 
  For PCs: On a 10+, both. On a 7-9, pick 1:
   
  Ĵ If they choose to come, they mark xp
   
  Ĵ If they refuse, they mark stress
  On a miss, your invitación reeks of 
  desperation, patrón; if a PC comes, they 
  mark xp and take +1 ongoing to pressure, 
  get the truth, or verbally abuse or shame 
  you while attending the party.
  
  CLUB CAMPESTRE
  { Country Club }
  The snobs build crystal castles to 
  keep away those they deem inferior. 
  Don’t roar too loud or you will crack 
  their fragile walls and scare the small 
  monkeys behind the glass!
  
  club campestre
  When you brag about your criminal or 
  illicit activities at the Club Campestre,

  Ĵ Your Heat is +1 or higher
   
  Ĵ You recently came into some money
  On a hit, a big fish comes to you with a 
  business opportunity. On a 7-9, the club 
  staff gets nervous about your presence; 
  you need to do something to reassure 
  them or they ask you to leave. On a 
  miss, someone snitches on you to the 
  highest bidder. Maldita rata!
  
  EL DESIERTO
  { The Desert }
  The endless wastes of the desert are 
  perfect to break a pendejo’s will. The 
  might of the barren lands will swallow 
  their screams and hopes; just remember 
  the sands can swallow your plans as well.
  
  el desierto
  When you bring someone to el desierto 
  and threaten them with a gun, tell them 
  what you want and roll with Savagery. 
  On a hit, they have to choose: force 
  your hand and get a bullet, or cave and 
  promise to do what you want. On a 7-9, 
  they can instead choose to mark stress 
  and flee into the desert! On a miss, a 
  surprising twist of fate puts you both on 
  equal footing. Chíngale!
  
  BARRIO BRAVO

  clica got you covered, ese… but watch 
  out, they will bite the hand that feeds 
  them if they sense any weakness!
  
  barrio bravo
  When you go to the barrio bravo to hire 
  a pandilla (gang), roll with Hustle. On a 
  hit, you find a few malandros willing to 
  work for you, provided you have cash or 
  drugs for them; take Hermanos from El 
  Halcón—if you don’t already have it—
  until time passes. On a 10+, the pandilla 
  is larger than expected (gang small 
  untrained clumsy) or smarter than they 
  look (take +1 ongoing to Hermanos), 
  your choice. On a miss, the pandilla 
  decides you’re an easy mark and tries 
  to take what you’re offering without 
  offering anything in return.
  
  “GREEN LIGHT”
  { Car Rental }
  Some say hiding in plain sight is an art. 
  But it’s really just a matter of common 
  sense: don’t drive around in your big 
  troca with your narcocorridos blaring! 
  Low profile is the key, pendejo!
  
  “GREEN LIGHT”
  When you rent a car at Green Light to 
  hide your identity, roll with Face. On 
  a hit, you are invisible; take -1 ongoing 
  to Heat until the authorities figure you 
  out. On a 10+, even your paperwork 
  is falso; no one can tie you directly to 
  the car if it’s found in a compromising 
  position later. On a miss, your rental 
  car causes someone to confuse you for 
  someone they know...
  
  LIENZO CHARRO
  { Rodeo Arena }
  Las charreadas in Mexico are a beautiful 
  art, taming the horses and bulls, making 
  them do what you want, dance to your 
  rhythm. It’s the same with an ambush, 
  cabrón; you have to make your prey dance 
  to your beat to have them at your mercy.
  
  lienzo charro
  When you set up a trap for an NPC in los 
  baños of the lienzo charro, roll with stress 
  waged (max +3). On a hit, they stumble 
  into your trap; you have them at your 
  mercy, alone and vulnerable. On a 7-9, 
  the operation gets out of control when 
  civiles get in the way; mark however 
  much stress you wagered. On a miss, 
  mark the stress you wagered as your 
  target sees through your trap; someone 
  close to you must have tipped them off. 
  
  CAPILLA PRIVADA
  { Private Chapel }
  Why risk going out to church when you 
  can have one at home? All you need to do 
  is talk to a bishop or cardinal, give them a 
  big limosna, and they’ll make it legit for 
  you. A direct line to the Father above, a 
  private space to cleanse all your sins.
  
  capilla privada
  When you build a private chapel in your 
  narcotecture mansion, roll with Face. 
  On a hit, the Church consecrates the

  takes a stand against your corruption;

  FUNERARIA “LOS JARDINES”

  or enemigo at their funeral, roll with

  someone present sees your true face: take 
  -1 ongoing to Face until you ensure they 
  won’t talk about what they know.
  
  TEATRO “LA ATALAYA”

  teatro “la atalaya”
  When you go to el teatro for a night out, 
  roll with Heat. On a miss, you have a 
  night free from your concerns; clear

  who knows your secrets confronts you 
  as the evening comes to an end; you 
  only clear one stress. On a 10+, your 
  presence attracts the attention of one of 
  el teatro’s board members; they ask you 
  for a favor or shame you for your prole 
  arrogance, MC’s choice.
  
  PALENQUE “EL CARRISAL”
  { Cockfighting Arena }
  A flurry of knives and colorful feathers, 
  faith put on a shiny spur. True warriors,

  When you bet a lot of dinero on a 
  cockfight, roll with Hustle. On a hit,

  a miss, you lose a ton of money; strain 
  your finances to cover the bill or owe a 
  debt to someone you’d rather not owe.
  
  ANTRO DE MODA “AZUL”
  { Trending Nightclub }
  The mood at the Azul is perfect for 
  hooking up. But the dim lights, the drinks,

  things may not be what you think! De 
  noche, todos los gatos son pardos.
  
  antro de moda “azul”
  When you look for a hookup at the Azul 
  nightclub, roll with Heat. On a hit, you

  didn’t expect the next morning. On a 
  miss, it’s a trap! Your hookup sets you 
  up to your rivals or los federales. Mierda!
  
  ARENA “EL COLISEO”
  { Lucha Libre Arena }
  At the luchas, everyone lets it all out! All

  mecánico for modifications or repair, roll 
  with Heat. On a miss, choose 3 from the

  bill, mark two stress to haggle them 
  back down, or find someone else to do 
  the job more cheaply, cabrón.
  
  LA DE PAGA
  { Toll Highway }

  nigún pedo. On a 10+, the deal goes so 
  smoothly that the supplier offers you 
  more drugs or more work, your choice. 
  On a miss, you get the drugs, but a few 
  new toll employees who are not in the 
  loop get suspicious, demanding answers 
  about the shipment and your business.
  
  VÍAS DEL TREN
  { Railway }
  Trenes in Mexico stopped carrying 
  passengers long ago. Now they only move 
  products, goods, and raw materials. That 
  doesn’t mean you can’t smuggle people 
  from time to time. In these savage days, 
  people and goods mingle seamlessly.
  
  vías del tren
  When you smuggle an NPC out of 
  town on a cargo train, roll with Hustle. 
  On a 10+, they are gone for good, and 
  they let you know. On a 7-9, they stay 
  away long enough for things to blow 
  over, but you know you’ll see them 
  around Durango sooner or later. On a 
  miss, either they get caught or you get 
  caught, your choice.
  
  LA LIBRE
  { Freeway }
  La libre is free—unlike the privately owned 
  toll roads—and the government does 
  as little as it can to keep it working. But 
  sometimes you have no choice but to take 
  el camino difícil to get where you’re going...
  
  la libre
  When you crash onto the freeway 
  to get away from someone chasing 
  you, roll with Savagery. On a hit, te 
  les pelas; you’re gone! On a 7-9, your 
  car is seriously damaged or you leave 
  some evidence indicating where you 
  are going, your choice. On a miss, your 
  pursuers aren’t dissuaded; fill your stress 
  track as they close in on you.
  
  PRESIDENCIA MUNICIPAL
  { City Hall }
  The seat of power in la ciudad, and 
  the seat of corruption. Dos caras de la 
  misma moneda. The few honorable 
  people that truly want to do good are 
  quickly turned...or eaten by the hyenas.
  
  presidencia municipal
  When you go to look up official records 
  at City Hall, roll with Hustle. On a hit, 
  you found whatever official documents—
  blueprints, tax records, etc.—you were 
  seeking. On a 7-9, you found some of 
  what you needed, but choose one:
   
  Ĵ It took you longer than expected
   
  Ĵ You owe a city clerk a favor or bribe
   
  Ĵ The search was difícil; mark stress
  On a miss, whatever you were looking 
  for in the official records tips off your 
  enemigos to your search. Mala suerte!
  
  LA TIENDITA
  { Barrio House Store }
  At first, abuelita opened the store in her 
  garage to sell candies, snacks, and sodas. 
  But there wasn’t much profit in that, and 
  medical bills kept piling up. When the 
  cartel came, it was a no brainer...after all, 
  drogas are just another type of candy.
  
  la tiendita
  When you buy drugs from abuelita’s 
  tiendita, roll with Hustle. On a hit, 
  you get the goods; she’ll sell you meth, 
  cocaine, or heroin if you’ve got cash. 
  On a 7-9, abuelita has raised the price, 
  vieja méndiga! You’ll have to mark two 
  stress to get her to drop the price back 
  to normal or pay what she’s asking. On 
  a miss, this shit está adulterada! The 
  effect is stronger than usual; choose an 
  additional drug move off the list when 
  you lose yourself in them, even on a 10+.
  
  ZONA RESIDENCIAL
  { Wealthy Neighborhood }
  If thieves steal from thieves, who is to say 
  they have to suffer? Take what you want; 
  it’s all stolen. But beware…these cabrones 
  can bite, and some have really big teeth!
  
  zona residencial
  When you break into an upscale house 
  while the owners are away, roll with 
  Savagery. On a hit, you find plenty of 
  valuable stuff, ripe for the taking. On a 
  7-9, there’s a worrying amount of cash 
  and drugs inside; you’re playing with 
  fire, cabrón, to steal from these kinds 
  of people. On a miss, the house isn’t as 
  empty as you thought. Chíngale!
  
  HOSPITAL “SAN GABRIEL”
  { Private Hospital }
  Health is just another commodity. You 
  got the baro to pay; you don’t have to 
  worry about a thing. And as long as you 
  don’t scare other customers, these doctors 
  don’t care where you got your money. 
  They are mercenaries, same as everyone...
  
  hospital “san gabriel”
  When you are badly wounded and 
  seek medical attention at San Gabriel 
  hospital, roll with questions:
   
  Ĵ Do you (or your patron) have at least 
  a luxury lifestyle? Take +2
   
  Ĵ Is anyone looking for you? Take -1
   
  Ĵ Are you heavily armed? Take -1
  On a hit, they patch you up with top-
  notch treatment. On a 7-9, your presence 
  causes a minor panic; take +1 ongoing to 
  Heat until time passes. On a miss, they 
  get you stable…and sedated; they plan to 
  call los federales before you wake up.
  
  CENTRO HISTÓRICO
  { Downtown }
  Downtown is bustling with activity, 
  and now is the best time to invest there. 
  You don’t know how? No te apures! I 
  can hook you up with some friends that 
  are doing real good with bars and cafes 
  around the plaza. Easy dinero, cabrón!
  
  centro histórico
  When you invest a large sum of dirty 
  money with downtown real estate 
  developers, roll with questions:
   
  Ĵ Are they amigos or familia? Take +1
   
  Ĵ Are they afraid of you? Take +1
   
  Ĵ Are los federales watching you? Take -1
   
  Ĵ Do they know you are a narco? Take -1
  On a hit, the investment is a success; 
  raise your lifestyle one level. On a 7-9, the 
  property they purchase on your behalf 
  is in need of repairs; replace one of your 
  llaves with the Debt key. On a miss, the 
  whole thing is a scam; mark your lifestyle 
  down one level until you get your money 
  back, cabrón.
  
  CONVENTO “SANTA MARÍA”
  { Nun Convent }
  You think you’re so tough, cabrón, 
  but the nun life is no stroll in the park. 
  Disciplines, prayers, and stern rules? No 
  es fácil! Will you shut up and endure 
  your torment or whine like a baby? 
  
  convento “santa maría”
  When you seek refuge at the convent, 
  roll with stress wagered (max +3). On a 
  hit, you’ll be safely hidden for as long 
  as you need. On a 7-9, the nuns prove 
  to be frustrating; mark the stress you 
  wagered. On a miss, the people you are 
  fleeing find you; mark the stress you 
  wagered as their attempts to get at you 
  put the nuns’ lives at risk.
  
  LAS AFUERAS
  { Outskirts }
  Nobody comes to these areas; it’s the 
  edge between civilization and the salvaje 
  desert. What a fantastic place to hide the 
  goods! Just don’t step too close to that 
  edge, or you may slip into that savagery.
  
  las afueras
  When you try to bury something on 
  the outskirts of town to keep it hidden, 
  wager stress (max +3) and roll. On a 
  hit, you find just the spot; it’s hidden 
  until you come looking for it again. On 
  a 7-9, the burial takes longer than you 
  planned; mark the stress you wagered. 
  On a miss, you realize too late that 
  you’ll have a hard time finding what you 
  buried; mark the stress you wagered 
  now...and mark it again when you want 
  to dig up what you hid.
  
  FONDA “DOÑA LUPE”
  { Homestyle Kitchen }
  Nothing like el sasón of Doña Lupe. The 
  sopes, the chilaquiles, the chicharrón 
  prensado, the chiles rellenos… even the 
  simplest of dishes, like frijoles de olla, 
  can take you to heaven and make you 
  forget the fucking hell of everyday life.
  
  fonda “doña lupe”
  When you justify your behavior while 
  buying someone brunch, roll with Grit 
  instead of Face. On a miss, your bribery 
  is obvious; take -1 ongoing to deal with 
  them until you provide some evidence 
  that reinforces the story you provided.
  
  CINE “PARAÍSO”
  { Movie Theater }
  After a few years of abandonment, the old 
  cine Paraíso has been restored as one of 
  the most beautiful cinemas downtown. 
  Everyone goes there now to see their 
  favorite films, even your enemigos.
  
  cine “paraíso”
  When you follow someone to the movies 
  in disguise and size them up, roll with 
  Hustle instead of Savagery. On a miss, 
  you give yourself away; mark two stress 
  or get caught by your prey,  your choice.
  
  MIRADOR “LAS LOMAS”
  { City Outlook }
  A beautiful view of the city at night, el 
  mirador is the preferred place for young 
  couples looking for intimacy...and secrecy.
  
  mirador “las lomas”
  When you take someone to the mirador 
  to get the truth out of them, roll with 
  Savagery instead of Hustle. On a miss, 
  your attempts at interrogation attract 
  unwanted attention from some civilians.
  
  PANTEÓN MUNICIPAL
  { City Graveyard }
  The día de muertos is a festivity for 
  everyone in Mexico. After all, la muerte 
  comes for every single one of us: rich, 
  poor, good, or bad. Sin excepciones.
  
  panteón municipal
  When you go to pay your respects to 
  a friend or loved one at the panteón 
  municipal, mark stress and roll with 
  Face. On a hit, you feel the guidance of 
  their alma; ask them for advice about 
  a situation that troubles you. Take +1 
  ongoing to address the situation, provided 
  you follow the advice in todo. On a 10+, 
  you feel the weight of their passing lift; 
  clear two stress as well. On a miss, you 
  feel only their disappointment; take -1 
  ongoing to Hustle until you find a way to 
  honor their memory.
  
  CANTINA “CARLITO’S”
  { Old Style Cantina }
  Carlito’s cantina smells of old days past: 
  the furniture, the decorations, the piano 
  on one corner, even the guests. It’s like 
  time traveling to the 50s! Time is frozen in 
  there. And that’s the way the guests like it.
  
  cantina “carlito’s”
  When you hide out at Carlito’s for a week 
  or two, roll with Grit. On a hit, keeping 
  your head down pays off; take -2 ongoing 
  to Heat until you end up on los federales 
  radar. On a 7-9, you owe someone at 
  Carlito’s for keeping you hidden. On a 
  miss, take -1 ongoing to Heat, but your 
  absence has made everyone forget why 
  you matter; take -1 ongoing to Face as 
  well until you remind them.
  
  PARROQUIA “SAN JOSÉ”
  { Small Church }
  Of course we narcos pray! Chingao, we 
  may even be more religious than many of 
  you. Ours is a dangerous trade, cabrón, 
  and our patron saint Malverde looks out 
  for those humble enough to pray on their 
  knees for his favor and protection.
  
  parroquia “san josé”
  When you take your weapons to be 
  blessed at parroquia San José, roll with 
  Savagery. On a hit, Jesus Malverde will 
  be looking out for you; choose an extra 
  option—even on a miss—the next time 
  you turn to violence. On a 7-9, the priests 
  at the church have a messy favor to ask 
  of you; you’ll have to agree before they 
  perform the blessing. On a miss, a priest 
  takes a foolish stand against whatever 
  brought you to the church.
  
  HOTEL “CONTINENTAL”
  { Big Hotel }
  The Continental dominates downtown, a 
  majestic castle in the middle of the realm. 
  The high-end service houses first-class 
  guests, meeting and scheming in its halls. 
  Get the keys to the castle, and you may 
  find the keys to many secrets.

  them, roll with stress wagered (max 
  +3). On a hit, you manage to sneak in 
  close to get some juicy intel. On a 7-9, 
  you spend a long time before learning 
  anything useful; mark the amount 
  of stress you wagered. On a miss, a 
  clumsy accident closes off your escape 
  route; mark the stress you wagered and 
  prepare for a rough exit.
  
  TELEFÉRICO
  { Cable Car }
  The cable car ride from downtown to el 
  mirador offers a beautiful view and a 
  dangerous moment of intimacy. Perfect 
  for secrecy...and other murderous things.

  Mark xp when you hold a secret meeting 
  in the cable car; advance when you kill 
  someone unsuspecting while riding in 
  the cable car together. Once you’ve used 
  this location to advance, you can’t use it 
  to mark xp or advance again.
  
  MERCADO MUNICIPAL
  { City Market }
  The mercado municipal is a carnival of 
  colors and smells. Commodities, produce, 
  healing herbs, food, and fayuca. All cheap 
  for the thin pockets of the commoners.
  
  mercado municipal
  Mark xp when you lose your enemies 
  in the market; advance when you set up 
  a confrontation with an old foe in the 
  market instead of running. Once you’ve 
  used this location to advance, you can’t 
  use it to mark xp or advance again.
  
  TAQUERÍA “LA MALINCHE”
  { Taco Joint }
  A local tradition, La Malinche started as 
  a small taco joint in the 50s. Today it’s a 
  full-fledged restaurant, with other Mexican 
  dishes and drinks galore. Eso sí, the best 
  food at La Malinche is still the tacos... 
  
  taquería “la malinche”

  taquería La Malinche, roll with Savagery 
  instead of Grit and add these to the list 
  of alcohol drug moves:

  Ĵ leave something importante behind 
  when you head out
