Don't "shhh!" me, you rich bastard!
I make content for DriveThruRPG's community content program for Unknown Armies, owned by Atlas Games. Am I allowed to promote here? I know that's kind of a grey area between 'indie dev' and 'corporate product.'

Well in that case...

I just published a supplement for UA3 called Three Miles of Bad Road. It's Unknown Armies magicks related to roads and travel. I even got some help polishing it up from some goons. New schools, archetypes, and identities, plus a smattering of rituals, artifacts, GMCs, and other stuff for any road-based campaign.

DriveThruRPG just sponsored their third PocketQuest gamejam. This year's theme was Heists. Indie developers worked through February and March to create 90 new heist-based RPGs, and there's a lot of neat looking titles that have been released.

There's also my game. Not as neat looking. But I'm shilling it anyway!



Ins & Outs is a quickplay, GM-less game for 3-6 players, inspired by lighter heist films like Ocean's Eleven or Logan Lucky. Characters can be rolled up in about a minute once you're used to it. You roll up an Origin Story and then three pairs of linked attributes (Smash & Grab, Hide & Seek, Safes & Sounds) with each pair equaling 10.

Mechanically the game is very simple. To resolve a task, roll 2d6 and add your attribute; you succeed on a 13 or more, otherwise you fail forward. The game is much more interested in narrative and roleplay than crunch, and it's not really built for campaign play, so it won't be for everyone. It'll be disappointing if you want something robust, but it works well one-shots or a breather between your regular sessions. It's less "four hours of planning a shadowrun" and more "bullshitting with my buddies over pretzels and beers about how we'd rob a train."

The game contains two heists (Moneytrain, about robbing a train is also a bank, or perhaps a bank that is also a train?; and Who Deleted Loni Leopard?, about breaking into a film studio to steal a copy of a film that they plan to delete as a tax write-off), and a guide on how to create your own. I'll also be publishing packs of heists down the line.
