[PBP] Criminal Masterminds - Run your own Crime Syndicate

About the adventure

You and your friends have always had sticky fingers. A stolen vase there, stolen jeweler there... It started as children when you stole festival treats from an unsuspecting peddler. One day there is a terrible storm where everyone's houses were damaged, including your own home. The homes of the poor are rarely built to last, but as broke, working class villagers you have little money to pay to have the damage fixed. The first time you steal to try and recover the funds you tell yourselves that you had no other choice. But after the 15th successful heist you actually find it quite fun. When selling the goods, the shady merchant buying them tells you one of his contacts is looking for a gang of organized thieves to do some dirty work for him, and ask if you are interested. 💬 Game Details This is an asynchronous play by post game set in my homebrew world where you play as a lower class thief who finds wealth through building their own criminal empire. Hire spies, informants, bodyguards, alchemists specializing in drug production or whatever else your heart desires and shape your criminal empire as you see fit. The NPCs working for you will do whatever task you ask them to, but their success rate is based on their experience with the task you are asking them to do and a dice roll. 🔥Character Driven and Story Focused The game will be largely driven by the groups character actions, and those actions will come with consequences. Your choices matter. 🖤 Boundaries The game is LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive. We start the game off with a session 0 where we discuss what kind of character you want to play and whatever boundaries we both have. Session 0 and the first week is free of charge. 🖤 If you cannot work well in groups and share the loot fairly, this game is not for you. 📅 Posting Schedule Daily long posts which advances the narrative forward, written with the same amount of detail I put into my fantasy novels. Additionally I will respond with shorter messages daily for more conversational roleplay between you and the NPCs. If the players wish, we can also coordinate certain dates and times where we sit down once per week and focus on the roleplay, either over voice or over text. Although that may come with a small extra fee. We will discuss that as a group in session 0.
