Had a blast running #AcesWild tonight. Went full no prep and let the party choose the loot, the city and the setting. They successfully stole The Scarlet Diamond from the Grand Coronation Hotel, a real diamond famously used in one of the first true heist movies

Alright, time to lock in my #AcesWild one shot for tonight. What is everyone's favorite kind of heist?
Bank vaults, casinos, sports take, train robbery, museum grab, etc.

Annoying part of committing to run a one shot of a game you're writing, can't buy or steal a one shot from the internet.

Might just knock off a Lupin episode 😅

I think I need to figure out what a nice iconic cover image would be for #AcesWild. I'm hoping to submit it to a publisher but I feel like having at least one nice piece would really help get eyes on it for playtesting and general hype

So I'm using Crews to help #AcesWild tables set the vibe for their game

So choosing Gentlemen Thieves gives you an Oceans style game
Lower violence More hijinks
Choosing Elite Agents gives you more Mish Impossible/Bond Impactful violence Collateral damage.

What are other modern heist vibes?

Actually feeling like jumping back into work on #AcesWild but also watching my infant out of the corner of my eye like she's a pot about to boil over. Let's see if she let's me write some turf and crew rules 😅

Hmm, no #dnd on Thursday. Do I try to slap together a one shot/cajole someone else into running one? Or do I buckle down and actually work on more system text for #AcesWild?

Hmm, how much should I insist on a specific tone for #AcesWild?
I've always designed towards the witty, cartoonish and colorful criminals of Ocean's 11 and Lupin III
I don't want to lock other people in but I'm also not sure I want it to go super dark

Two awesome playtest sessions for #AcesWild this weekend! Two different groups of scoundrels took on the first one shot adventure "The Family Jewels"

Had a fun crew online from all over and even got to do in person with some of our awesome local nerds

Here we go!
First in person playtest for #AcesWild is in 8 hours!
I mostly know my own rules at this point.
PDF playbooks and Cheat Sheets are ready to print.
10 unopened Bicycle decks.
A hefty awesome metal briefcase full of chips.
A swinging heist soundtrack. Let's go!

I need to "finalize" a core #AcesWild mechanic (at least for the two playtest games this weekend) and it's stressing me out even though I know I can literally just change it whenever I want 😅

Decided to go ahead and finish a 9th playbook for #AcesWild since I have 9 players registered for my Saturday one shot/playtest. I added the Fatale which was an interesting challenge since it now has the highest % of original mechanics instead of reskinned/reorg'd Blades moves

It's a another month so of course I'm learning a new game (and writing another!) for our monthly #ttrpg events 😅
Excited to try out Jinkies (a Scooby Doo PBTA) for Game Night and run my new game #AcesWild for TTRPG Day!
