The Nicking of Time

Every good thief needs five things: Strength, Subtlety, Smarts, a Silver Tongue, and Sheer Dumb Luck. 

But who needs luck, when you’ve got time travel?

The Nicking of Time is a time travel heist micro-RPG in a 3 page pdf, where you and your crew of thieves and conmen are after the haul of a lifetime, assisted by your handy-dandy time traveling device. The security guards unexpectedly switch up their patrol route? Hop back in time so you can leave a note telling them to stick to the old schedule. Lost the key to the safe after a messy encounter with a rival thief? Turn back the clock and steal away with the dropped key, leaving your past selves none the wiser.

But don’t get too cocky! Your time travel device is undergoing a slight malfunction… Can you and your crew escape this heist-gone-wrong with your loot? Can you even escape with your lives?
