RPG: It’s High Moon – Werewolves Come To Honey Heist
If you’re after a howling good time, then you’ll want to get ready for the Great Werewolf Robbery in High Moon, a werewolf hack for Honey Heist.
Honey Heist is an RPG that proves you don’t need to be complex, or even have a book, to be a good roleplaying game. The full game, designed by Grant Howitt, is only a page long. It is as beautiful as it is straightforward. You’re a bear and it’s time to pull a heist. As the designer puts it:
Honey Heist is a surprisingly successful one-page RPG. Here is the plot:
1) You have a complex plan that requires precise timing.
2) You are a GODDAMN BEAR.
That’s largely it. It’s easy to run and easy to play, and there’s a D8 table for hats if you want to be a bear that wears a hat, and who doesn’t want that?
In the roleplaying game, you’ll find a table for hats, some tables to generate your heist, and of course, rules for your two stats: BEAR and CRIMINAL. Bear lets you do bear things, criminal is for doing crimes, and you generally don’t need much else. It’s a longtime favorite of Critical Role, who’ve played it a few times now.
Now, designer Mike Laff has released a hack of Honey Heist, titled High Moon. This game is equally as simple and straightforward:
The Setup: It’s the late 1800s and the Wild West is getting less wild. You’ve been able to hide out on the frontier – but it’s getting hard to ignore how fast civilization is catching up.
It’s time to make the last big score that will let you and your unusual gang of criminals retire safely. (Maybe somewhere like Belize.) You are going to undertake the greatest heist the West has ever seen.
One You have a complex plan that requires precise timing.
