Project Update: THE JOB - a game of Glorious Heists!

Hey everyone!

We are lauching a new game in partnership with Exalted Funeral in two weeks. The game is all about executing the most outrageous heists imaginable—and, of course, embracing everything that can (and absolutely will) go hilariously wrong along the way.

Preparation Phase.
Players receive a Brief detailing the location they are robbing, the object, their budget and six known complications. Then, they plan the heist, imagining and writing down the scenes that will make up the Action Phase. Instead of traditional adventure modules, the Players prepare their own session, simulating the experience of planning a heist. They must plan for a total of 12 scenes, account for all complications and inform the Referee which scenes they want to play — not the other way around.

Action Phase.
With the plan in place, it’s time to make it happen. The Referee guides the Players as they step into their roles, bringing their crew to life in the scenes they planned. Every roll carries risk, every choice adds tension, and when things go south, they go fast. This phase is played with the Dice Stack - if it collapses three times, the heist is over. But if the crew holds their nerve? The score is theirs.

The game runs on a 2d6 system, where failure (2-6) adds dice to the stack, partial success (7-9) forces Players to choose between adding dice or enduring a setback, and full success (10+) lets them remove a die. Each crewmember has four unique stunts that grant advantages or let them pull off signature moves. The inventory system is streamlined: when you need something, use one of your four gear slots (that’s all you get for the whole heist!) and deduct the cost from the budget.

If you’ve enjoyed our work in the past, now is a great time to show your support. The games industry—and let’s be honest, the world at large—is facing a lot of uncertainty right now. If our previous games brought you joy, we’d be incredibly grateful for your continued support. It truly means the world to us. 


BOREAL FROSTLANDS UPDATE

We are waiting for the games to arrive to our warehouse in Portugal. Splitting the shipment between PT and USA was more costly than simply having everything freighted here. Once it arrives, we will be sending a pallet to Flying Cloud for North American fulfilment. We are still evaluating this whole tariff ordeal with our shipping partners - DHL and Fedex. As of today, there is no indication that the tariffs have impacts in books and printed matter. But we will know more towards the end of the week. If push comes to shove, we will simply expedite everything from our warehouse and pray that no one is asked to pay duties in the United States. Again, as of today, we have no indication that smaller shipments from online purchases are being taxed upon entry in the country. We will keep you informed as best we can. 

Thank you,
Andre Novoa.
