Disaster Wizards
Mar. 17th, 2022 07:31 pmToday I underwent an RPG design rite of passage. At last I, too, have made a Honey Heist hack.
It's also a wizarding tournament game because why not.
The game was inspired by an observation from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sabotabby in the context of writing queer characters that the protagonists of her Sleep of Reason series were "disaster wizards."
The game is free on Itch.io. Honey Heist is free, so the hack is free.
...If "Honey Heist hack" just sounds like a coughing fit to you, all you need to know is that Honey Heist is a dead simple yet ludicrously playable two-page TTRPG that Grant Howitt created for a con in 2017. It mixes an absurd premise (you are real bears trying to commit a heist) with simple yet compelling mechanics. The usual outcome is to fail hilariously.
[eta]( Fun Mechanics )
There are, I don't know, one million hacks of it out there. And now there are one million and one.
