True story! My con game game The Big Store is funding now on Kickstarter. We're over 3/4 of the way there with plenty of time to go. You can check it out here.

The basics: The Big Store is a tabletop roleplaying game where you play confidence tricksters running a game on a greedy mark. Each of you has a job to do, building a story around the mark that entices them into deeper and deeper commitment. Finally, you bring them into the big store, make the sting and take off with your score!

• 3-5 players (Manager + 2-4 Cons)
• 2-3 hours / con story to play
• great for pick-up-and-play one-shots, or play out serial cons to explore your character's careers
• rules that structure how the "big store" style con works, without restricting the actual stuff the characters do to make their con unique
• Hailing from World Wide Wrestling - no knowledge of that game (or PbtA) required to play, but there's some familiar stuff for those who do!

There's a lot more on the campaign page, including a breakdown of what your Cons do during the game, the role of the Manager who plays the Mark, and of course the rewards.

Thanks for taking a look! Oh, and I promise it's not a con. Would I lie to you?!
