Fabrications. Misrepresentations, shall we say? Yeah, you probably tell plenty of those, but that\u2019s not the cool stuff. No, we\u2019re talking about&nbsp;<em>your<\/em>&nbsp;kind of lying\u2014when you lie to reality. Because here\u2019s the thing:&nbsp;<em><strong>It always works<\/strong><\/em>. The guard gets too caught up in her Sudoku game? You say it, it happens. There\u2019s road work blocking the bad guy\u2019s getaway route? Yep. A massive blackout plunges all of Paris into darkness? Sure. Reality is your plaything. If you can think it, it happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say that lies have no consequences. Lying is stressful, and the bigger the lie, the more stressful it gets. Small lies? You can usually pull them off without much cost. Bigger lies can actually hurt you. Lie big enough, and you could pay the ultimate price. So blacking out all of Paris is a pretty dangerous ploy\u2014unless you happen to know some specific weakness of the grid. Some tiny little lie that sparks big consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, hey, you&#8217;re great at that sort of thing.

You&#8217;d had inexplicable problems aboard the ship, and seen increasing reality decay in the dimensions you&#8217;d visited. When the&nbsp;<em>Celeste<\/em>&nbsp;returned to Earth&#8217;s orbit, things were downright catastrophic: You found yourself in ancient history\u2014the 21st century to be exact. Even worse, this ancient Earth is increasingly riddled with anomalies. Improbable things are happening, and the Zones of Improbability are growing in both size and number. The stress is literally tearing reality itself apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Improbability Zones are places where reality has taken a sharp right turn. Perhaps inanimate objects in downtown Cincinnati are randomly transforming into different objects. Or people in Manchester keep running into doppelg\u00e4ngers of themselves. There&#8217;s always some objective that should return reality to normal\u2014most often a seemingly innocuous object that must be removed from the Improbability Zone. Whatever\u2019s causing the reality disruption is somehow keyed to that object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, getting your hands on other people&#8217;s objects is your fort\u00e9!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_e9c6a4-d3\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587690\" width=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-510x765.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-143x215.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-44-Roberto-Pitturru-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_fc42f0-ab\">Building the Perfect Heist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heists are hard. The most beautiful jobs rely on meticulous planning and perfect execution. And even then, some wrench always seems to get thrown into the works. An unexpected twist (or three!) that throws the whole plan into disarray. But you\u2019re pretty awesome at pulling it all back together and coming out on top\u2014with panache!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587698\" width=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-215x143.jpg 215w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-10-Marcelo-Basile-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heist in Stealing Stories unfolds in three Acts. In&nbsp;<strong>Act One<\/strong>, the GM and the players work together to create the heist\u2014the scenario&nbsp;<em>and<\/em>&nbsp;the plan, together at the same time. The GM starts the mission briefing with the objective and location, like: \u201cThe key is a thumb drive kept in an office building in the middle of Dallas.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then the group starts building the plan, suggesting elements that fit their strengths. If a PC is good at climbing, crawling, and getting through tight spots, the player might say there\u2019s access to the office suite via the air ducts. But then the GM steps in with a complication: \u201cYes, but there\u2019s no vent access from the ground level. They connect to the roof.\u201d The players suggest a stairwell, fire escape, or access from a nearby building, and the GM adds in the security cameras, patrols, or other complications. In this way, the players and GM work together until they\u2019ve created a detailed scenario, and an equally detailed plan, all at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you move into&nbsp;<strong>Act Two<\/strong>, the action starts. You\u2019re good at what you do, but the universe doesn\u2019t always play ball. You\u2019ll call on your excellent skills, your wits, and your lies as you overcome the challenges you foresaw in your plan. But there\u2019s always more to it than that, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587699\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-510x765.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-533x800.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-143x215.jpg 143w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-450x675.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-07-Marcelo-Basile-400x600.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The GM will throw a few Twists in here and there\u2014things that no plan, no matter how careful, can fully anticipate. And then there\u2019s the Turn: The moment where the mission goes in a surprise direction. Maybe there\u2019s another team after the same thing. Or an unrelated emergency nearby puts the authorities on high alert. A storm rolls in, or a fire breaks out, or the target isn\u2019t where or what you thought it was. Suddenly, everything is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time to think on your feet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>Act Three<\/strong>&nbsp;you close in on success (or at least a conclusion!). The stakes are higher. The results more definitive. Your actions are bigger, bolder, grander. It\u2019s now or never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you&#8217;ve got even more at your disposal than wits, skill, and lies. Mission Cards give players an additional resource for playing heist-savvy characters. One might reveal that you brought a special tool perfect for the situation. Another might let a story from your past&nbsp;pertain to this one, making the current challenge easier. A third might provide a way in which your character is prepared or knowledgeable for the situation at hand (even when you, the player, are not). It&#8217;s all part of a game that makes the perfect heist come together.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_862a76-ea\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_862a76-ea\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_862a76-ea\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_862a76-ea wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_862a76-ea\">A Zero-Prep Roleplaying Game.

You start the session with a few key pieces of information, then build the scenario with the players in Act One. If you and the players are already conversant in the rules, you can all be playing within five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stealing Stories for the Devil&nbsp;contains all the rules you need to play\u2014and more importantly, the&nbsp;<em>structure<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>resources<\/em>&nbsp;that make a collaboratively created game session amazingly easy, fun, and successful with zero prep. Everything you need is included in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That includes powerful GM tools. Loads of resources, ideas, and inspiration let you take the scenario you\u2019ve created with the players and, in minutes, layer in the details that bring it to life. The game includes dozens of maps, images, NPC generation tools, Twist ideas, and more. Easy-to-use reference materials let you quickly answer the questions that come up for the scenario, like &#8220;How long will it take for the fire department to show up,&#8221; or, &#8220;What happens when the shaft is jammed with debris?&#8221; It&#8217;ll seem like you prepped for hours!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_904f85-02, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_904f85-02[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_904f85-02\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_904f85-02 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_904f85-02[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_904f85-02\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_904f85-02 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_904f85-02[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_904f85-02\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading_904f85-02 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_904f85-02\">A Campaign Full of Astonishing Twists and Turns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587705\" width=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-500x732.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-510x747.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-547x800.jpg 547w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-147x215.jpg 147w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-768x1124.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-300x439.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-450x659.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-600x878.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.montecookgames.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Stealing-Stories-37-Marcelo-Basile-410x600.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A one-shot can be a fun way to play Stealing Stories for the Devil\u2014and its zero-prep nature makes it ideally suited for a spur-of-the-moment game. A one-shot game is going to feel like a typical heist tale (think of films like&nbsp;<em>Ocean\u2019s 11<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Heist<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>The Italian Job<\/em>, etc., or television shows like&nbsp;<em>Lupin<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<em>Leverage<\/em>) with just a little bit of sci-fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as you might have already surmised, there&#8217;s more going on here than meets the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stealing Stories gives you a fascinating meta-plot, filled with as many surprising twists and astonishing turns as any individual heist. It takes the PCs through a &#8220;season&#8221; of gameplay as they come to grasp the big picture and discover what&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>really<\/em> going on. You can also run an open-ended campaign, taking the story in any direction your gaming group desires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core twelve-heist season begins like a standalone adventure, but quickly introduces mysterious forces at play, delivers surprising twists, gets stranger (with more science fiction\/science fantasy elements), and ultimately reveals the cause of all the reality disruptions. And the characters grow and develop, as each time they successfully return reality to its natural state, they gain a little of its power for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you aren&#8217;t limited to the core season. As with most RPGs, an open-ended campaign can take on whatever style the group desires, focused more or less on the weird sci-fi elements as they wish. (You could, in fact, remove all the reality-changing aspects of the game and just run a standard, modern-day heist story.)<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bd6fef-bd,
