Well, Dog Town seems to be set in the '70s, so it'd be TL7. :)

I wouldn't know, I'm getting a 404 from the OP's link. :)

My game was set in a TL 3-4ish fantasy setting, for anybody who was curious. Guys who can't afford healing potions stabbing each other with knives in a dark alley. Good times, good times.

Yeah, it's a 70's setting, as were most of the great mafia films. So TL7 it'd be.

Any hints and tips from how your game ran are greatly appreciated.
