WHAT IS CRIME WAVE?

Crime Wave is a rules-lite tabletop roleplaying game of 1920's crime and mystery. A mish-mash of Nate Treme's Tunnel Goons, Rick Kreb's Gangbusters, and Marc Miller's Traveller; Crime Wave was originally submitted to the One-Page RPG Jam 2022. Since then, I have worked on expanding the rules into something that can handle campaign play.

WHAT'S THIS JAM ALL ABOUT?

For the entire month of August, to celebrate the release of Crime Wave Flimflam (coming soon), we'll be writing scenarios that mean nothing but trouble. Got an idea for a heist? A job? The sky's the limit!

Be sure to join the Sivad's Sanctum discord server to talk about your submission(s) and get the latest updates on Crime Wave! 

WHAT ARE THE RULES?

  • Before you start, roll on the table below. This is the type of job you'll be working with! Treat Rumor as a free space, go crazy!


  • Before writing your scenario, roll 1d6. On a 1, there is something supernatural or unfounded about the job. Otherwise, it's mundane (this doesn't mean boring!). 
  • And, most importantly, be kind to yourself and others, and keep yourself and your work free of bigotry and hate. You can submit just one thing, or multiple things. You can (and should!) charge for your work, but you don't have to, either. It would be nice if you used the #FlimflamJam hashtag to talk about it wherever you post about these sorts of things. It would be even nicer if you rated other people's submissions!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out over on bluesky!
