Okay, okay. You twisted my arm but I get to play the goblin getaway drive!

Well, I didn't need that theme in my head tonight, but it's not an unwelcome addition to the mess.

I'm not necessarily much of one for modern action blockbusters, but I had the chance to watch all the MI movies earlier this year and enjoyed them quite a bit.

Obvious question, of course--which is your favorite? I'm inclined to think 'Fallout' is the best, but I have a soft spot for MI3.

Secret rule: any player caught humming the MI theme gets disadvantage on their next roll.

Any player caught making a big show out of performing the MI tune gets advantage on their roll, plus Inspiration.

There needs to be at least one scene where someone removes their incredibly realistic disguise (or dismisses their Disguise Self spell) to dramatically reveal their true identity.

Sounds AMAZING!!! *O*

I'm starting up a Keys from the Golden Vault game to scratch that heist itch!

A good heist is just too much fun to play/run!

I love this idea! Eberron would be a neat setting. I’m eager to see what mechanics you introduce - failed to find satisfactory ones for my own games for chases etc.

Eberron is a great setting for this kind of Action - Heist. Also there ist so much politisch, intrigue and backstabbing that you can justify all the dramatic reversals your GM heart could desire.

Really, is it even Eberron if there ISN'T some kind of dramatic heist aboard a runaway train?

I love Eberron! That sounds like so much fun.

So I'm running a heist in D&D right now and found some interesting ideas in Dusk City Outlaws that were easy to incorporate. Dividing into phases and allowing the players to essentially bank successes to avoid cockup cascades especially. Feel like it would apply here as well.

Oh I’m well familiar with DCO and use a lot of mechanics from it/other games. Won’t just be heists though, gotta combine the chases/fights/set pieces of MI movies too.

vandelhammer.bsky.social•105 days ago

Chases are interesting. I've yet to find a really good set of chase mechanics I really like. Be quite interested to see what you put together :)

The Dramatic Conflict section of Spycraft 2.0 might be worth mining for the MI heist/spy/action movie feel. Two decades old, so it’ll definitely need some tweaking, but the bones are solid. I think some of the elements even go back to the James Bond 007 game.
