HONEY HEIST
A game by Grant H (2017) with thanks to All Out of Bubblegum, 3:16 and, wierdly, Polaris.
It's honeycon 2017
You are going to undertake the greatest heist the world has ever seen. Two things:
One: You are a GODDAMN BEAR. Roll 3D6 to determine your descriptor, your role, and your bear type.
Roll 3D6
# | Descriptor | Bear type (and skill) | Role |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Rookie | Grizzly (Terrify) | Muscle |
2 | Washed-up | Polar (Swim) | Brains |
3 | Retired | Panda (Eat anything that looks like bamboo) | Driver |
4 | Unhinged | Black (Climb) | Hacker |
5 | Slick | Sun (Sense honey) | Thief |
6 | Incompetent | Honey Badger (Carnage) | Face |
Name your bear, if you want. You're not a talking bear per se, but you can sort of mangle human speech through your bear mouth, maybe? (You CAN talk to each other, though)
Stats
You have two stats: Bear and Criminal. Both start at 3.
Use Bear to: maul stuff, run and climb, shrug off damage, scare people, and generally do bear stuff.
Use Criminal to do anything not directly related to being a bear.
Actions
When you act and the outcome is in doubt, roll a d6. If it's equal to or under the relevant stat, you succeed. If it's over the stat, you fail. If you're using your bear species skill, or doing something covered by your role, roll 2 dice and pick the lowest.
Bonus Hat Table
(If you want your bear to wear a hat)
Roll 1D8
# Hat Type # Hat Type 1 Trilby 5 Cowboy 2 Top 6 Fez 3 Bowler 7 Crown 4 Flat Cap 8 Roll Twice
Changing States
Hey GM!
When a player rolls dice and the lowest dice they roll is a 6, introduce a twist or unseen complication into proceedings.
Frustration
When the plan fails and you run into difficulty, move one point from Criminal into Bear.
Greed
When the plan goes off without a hitch, move one point from Bear to Criminal.
You can voluntarily move one point from Bear to Criminal by doing a flashback scene in which you and the other bears plan out the heist in the back room of a seedy bar.
You can voluntarily move one point from Criminal to Bear by eating a load of honey.
The End
If your Criminal stat reaches 6, you are lured into a life of crime and betray the party. If your Bear stat ever reaches 6, you flip out bear-style and lose it, presumably to be picked up by animal control in half an hour or so.
