John Wick is dead so we're not gonna get another film about him and I DON'T need a prequel but I wish during one of the three films after the first one when a bounty is put on his head an assassin sees who the mark is and then goes right back to drinking their beer because they enjoy being alive.

Thank you, @denagh.bsky.social for reminding me about this. If you wanna play a #ttrpg with an in-game app similar to RICO in #Westworld, The Old The Cold The Bold has you covered! Get paid to do tasteful gigs whether it be dolling out karma or your classic heist.

7 hours left to back a #ttrpg about the criminal gig economy app, Sieben.

Question: What would you call a crowdfunding platform that pays for vigilante gigs? For instance, the neighborhood where a rich guy was speeding around in his fancy car came together and paid for Berlin and LoudPanda (@clarkvalentine.bsky.social and @ayvalentine.bsky.social) to brick said car.

The Criminal Gig Economy was an untapped market until the app (Sieben) came along and started hiring contract criminals (with tasteful records). The company takes some of the pizza before you get to eat, but they don’t touch your tips.

The season three finale of Shark Detective and the movie that follows is the most established part of the lore. Shark Detective kills a crooked cop, but feels no remorse in court. Meanwhile, his partner Kimiko is searching for fragments of the investigative AI program said crooked cop destroyed.

Players pick the gig in The Old The Cold The Bold. Some crimes we've done at the table are... ...ruining the life of a tech bro, "obtaining" bank paperwork to save homes from foreclosure, "obtaining" museum artifacts that belong to someone else, going after a corrupt judge, and 🔥data centers🔥.

48 hours left to back The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition. Leverage meets be gay do crimes ttrpg. 2-3 Players + GM and makes a great one shot. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

H/T to @ayvalentine.bsky.social for helping me fine tune the last bits of the 2nd edition I was struggling with. 🫍 🐬 🦈 And @historyrebelmo.bsky.social for helping with the name of the updated key. And @nerdypupgames.bsky.social for being a game design sounding board.

The 48 hour reminder for the 2nd edition will be coming up soon. If you missed the hype train, now's the time to hop on 🫨.

The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition is live on BackerKit! Play as criminals that use Sieben. An app that provides tasteful gigs, protection from the fuzz, and "justice the people can afford". 🎶 before you call the cops 🎶 thinking you'll get even 🎶 try the people's justice 🎶 instead use Sieben 🎶

@robotclaw.info did the voice acting for the BackerKit project video. It's an animatic of the CEO and his wife.

Three days left to back the second edition of The Old The Cold The Bold. A Leverage meets criminal gig economy TTRPG. Pick-Up-And-Play, pregens that already know each other, Shark Detective, and a short story by Emily Care Boss. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

One week left to back The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition! Stick it to the man with your found family in a criminal gig economy TTRPG. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

All of the pregens in #OCB2nd are in a found family social solar system. pwr_vacuum was SunShine's personal trainer, and when SS found out he was a hitman, he invited him onto the app. PV and jinglejangle met at the launch party for the app's private resort. bellaDOM runs TTRPGs for JJ. 1/4

There isn't a ton of concrete lore in #OCB2nd so players can contribute to the world of regulated crime. The game offers questions for the table to answer, such as why has the company been allowed to prosper. I would love to hear your answers. 1/3

Two weeks left to back The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition on @backerkit.com! A criminal gig economy tabletop roleplaying game! #OCB2nd is perfect for folks who like #Leverage (heists that screw over the rich and powerful ice cream with a found family swirl)! Let's get that stretch goal funded!

Orcanized Crime: This tier comes with a PDF of my very first TTRPG, Prism. A diceless, queer-friendly, and sex-positive TTRPG about sexy seafolk. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... I should combine games at some point and run a #OCB2nd flavored heist in Prism.

Colds in crime dramas have the most skills in reading a situation, but they often get the conch yanked away from them by the hothead. Colds in the game come equipped with money, confidence, and/or privilege, so hotheads can't speak over them. Jules (Pulp Fiction) is a game-accurate Cold. 1/3

Do you think it's worth it to have example names in a RPG rules doc?

Lady Blackbird, is one of my favorite TTRPGs. The Old The Cold The Bold took a lot of inspiration from it...with a few changes like players selecting their tags, and Team Keys. Keys are how characters react during a gig. Team Keys are how they interact. Let's look at the Cold. 1/2

After the Backerkit, I'm gonna put Prism on Itch Io. I wanna do like a Hot Mermaid Summer bundle or something.

Hey @toastyseahorse.bsky.social let's talk about your amazing game! One of the things I really like about it is the catharsis of doing good in the world by any means necessary. Was that part of your goal?

Flight of Lore 🥃🥃🥃🥃

2nd edition crowdfunding for the ever-original The Old The Cold The Bold by Whitney Delaglio, who authored the mermaid romance TTRPG -- PRISM. Pulling off heists against the deserving ultra-rich has never been this fun!

The #BackerKit for my criminal gig economy #TTRPG, The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition, is live! #SharkDetective is a franchise in #OCB2nd about a salmon shark sleuth that solves cases with his best friend and work partner, Kimiko. Despite being a shark, no one makes a big deal of it. 1/3

May 7th, so let's talk about the 7 rules of Sieben. Sieben is the in-game app characters use to find gigs (heists, etc.). The rules serve as hard lines during play (no gigs inside schools, etc.) for player safety. PS: The sun with the bandit mask is the logo for its social media platform, Snitch.

I know this is never going to happen because the United States of America is allergic to innovation, but I would love the food replicator right about now.

FUNDED! Thank you all so much for making this happen! Time for a stretch goal! A Diamond for Two by Emily Care Boss. A short story inspired by a #OCB2nd heist during a costume party, and the Amateur Cracksman. A queer-coded Victorian gentlemen thief anthology. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Loud Panda and Berlin (@clarkvalentine.bsky.social) had a hilarious "you're not my dad" dynamic during play. They bricked a rich dude's car before his speeding through the neighborhood became a problem. LP and FoilGrad3d (@robotclaw.info) were a great team during a necklace at the aquarium heist.

The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition is live on #BackerKit! #OCB2nd is a #TTRPG about criminals doing good like Robin Hood in the criminal gig economy. Inspired by the mechanics of Lady Blackbird by @johnharper.bsky.social. PS: Be sure to check out the onboarding video (the project video)!

The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition launches on #BackerKit tomorrow at 12PM ET. A pick-up-and-play roleplaying game that's been called the Barbie movie meets Leverage, gig economy Robin Hood, and what if "be gay do crimes" was a #TTRPG?

The #BackerKit for #OCB2nd is one week away! Criminals doing good like Robin Hood! Stretch Goal: A Diamond for Two by Emily Care Boss. A short story inspired by the Amateur Cracksman. A queer-coded Victorian gentlemen thief anthology. Plus, pregens for a two-player gig based on the short story.

I was reminded yesterday that I Threw It On The Ground will probably never loose relevancy.

The Old The Cold The Bold: 2nd Edition Backerkit is two weeks away. As of last week, all of the pregen teasers have been posted. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... If you want to know more about any of the pregens in #OCB2nd here's a thread to do the asking.

So, BackerKit actually gives you feedback when they approve your project. I'm redoing the testimonials, and while doing so felt compelled to listen to Father Figure. I really want to run #OCB2nd in the 80s, now...or at least with WMD who is a 80s culture aficionado.

I gave a task two difficulty levels in #OCB2nd. @ayvalentine.bsky.social and @clarkvalentine.bsky.social both got five successes on their individual tasks, so they were able to escape undetected. Security was a little preoccupied with a car blasting Blue Dress on the property.
