Yesterday Exalted Funeral launched a BackerKit project to bring The Job Boxed Set to the masses. The roleplaying game drops the players into the roles of criminals aiming to pull off a perilous heist. You can reserve a copy of The Job for a $60.00 pledge or score just the PDFs for a $30.00 pledge through May 23rd. Expected digital delivery is this June with the physical release to follow in November.
About the project:
You’ve got one shot at the big score. Diamonds, gold bullion, the Mona Lisa—whatever it is, it’s shiny, priceless, and currently not yours. The Job is a fast-paced, no-nonsense RPG about pulling off legendary heists with style… or going down in a blaze of absolute, 100% memorable failure. You and your crew of specialized criminals will plan the perfect caper, dodge laser grids, sweet-talk security, and improvise when (not if) things go south. Think fast, move faster, and whatever you do—don’t drop the stack.
Twelve scenes. One heist. Zero do-overs.
No long-winded backstories, no stats to crunch, no character progression – just a slick, high-tension system designed for one-shots where the only thing standing between you and success is a tower of dice teetering on the edge of disaster. The more risks you take, the higher it gets. Knock it over three times? Game’s up, you’re busted, enjoy your life behind bars. But if you pull it off… well, let’s just say there’s a cocktail with your name on it, somewhere far, far away.
This is a high-stakes, split-second decision, adrenaline-fueled fever dream where the only rule is, you know it by now, don’t get caught. The world is a well-dressed con artist who can talk their way past laser grids, a wheelman who can drift a getaway van through rush-hour traffic, or a bruiser who can punch their way out of a bad situation (or into a worse one). It’s a world where security is tight, complications are inevitable, and everything that can go wrong absolutely will—but that’s half the fun. The difference between a clean getaway and an utter disaster is razor-thin, and the only thing thicker than the tension is the stack of dice wobbling under your fingers.
