Description

Inspired by the classic eponymous movie based on a real NYC bank robbery in August 1972. What was supposed to be a simple job turned into an unforgettable examination of the human condition. No familiarity with the movie or the real incident are required; it's probably more interesting if you didn't know (but that's fine if you do). Although the initial scenes are roughly scripted, the outcome of the larp is totally dependent on the player characters. Minimal mechanics, maximum drama and role playing. Serious tone with some comedic elements. Issues: Violence, foul language, verbal threats, criminal activity, police brutality, homosexuality, transgender issues, class differences. Character genders are set, but they can be played by anyone of any gender. Two of the 12 players would be NPCs, i.e., rotating characters like in horde style (a very very small horde of two).
