The Roleplayer’s Guide to Heists

If you like stealing stuff (in games) and getting away with it (again, in the game), this book will have everything you could want!

Heists are some of the most fun you can have during an RPG session – the indepth planning, the nail biting execution, the thrilling escape and the glorious payoff! What’s not to love?

But heists can be hard to write and even harder to pull off properly. They take almost as much work as the real thing to plan, and that can bring your campaign to a grinding halt. Lucky for you, The San Jenaro Co-Op is here to help.

The Roleplayer’s Guide To Heists is a system agnostic collection of around 25 heists ranging from your standard bank jobs, to space-based sci-fi capers, to fantasy smash-jobs into a wizard’s mind-realm.

Each heist comes complete with a detailed map of the joint for you to properly case; oodles of scene hooks, enemies and traps, ideas for the getaway and of course the loot itself. As if that wasn’t enough, you can also look forward to essays on the finer points of thieving, heists and their narrative function.

The Roleplayer’s Guide to Heists will launch on Kickstarter on June 15th (here’s the public preview Kickstarter page) and will have different tiers for pledging available to suit most tastes, and with some very interesting rewards, like for example including your name as one of the people involved in the heist’s details (as a mobster, a special model of safe, the designer of a magical ward or anything else that takes your fancy. ) or bringing your own heist to life with the help of our talented crew.

This project will have a beautiful physical hardcover book as the final product, and also a digital PDF version, and the estimated delivery date is July 2020.
