A downloadable game

Data Breach is a lightweight, role-playing driven RPG. It is designed to be played over 1 or 2 sessions at most, and can have 3 to 6 players (recommended group size: 4 or 5). One player takes up the mantle of Handler and guides the other players (the Crew) on a heist, presenting challenges, opportunities, dangers, and twists along the way. But it’s really up to everyone to tell the story as it unfolds.

This is a little proof-of-concept PbtA game I made to get more practice designing and publishing. If you're new to PbtA games, the introduction should just about cover the basics. If you know how other PbtA games play, then there should be no surprises in this one.

It's meant to emulate the classic heist movie vibe, but it could be used for a range of generic action movie plots.

I'm open to all kinds of feedback, anything that I can learn from and bring into whatever I do next.

If you play it with your group, I'd love to hear the stories you created. And if you enjoyed it, consider throwing some money my way over on Patreon to support future projects, or the expansion of this one if there's enough interest.
