BIRD CRIMES

Written in collaboration with Xalavier Nelson.

Everyone knows that the funniest crime – objectively – is smuggling rare birds across borders, so we decided to dramatise the high-stakes world of parrot trafficking into an easy-to-run roleplaying game.  In BIRD CRIMES you play a down-on-their-luck poacher who’s been roped into illegally importing seven rare breed parrots (who are also criminals) aboard a redeye passenger jet from JFK to Heathrow, and the birds keep escaping, and at one point they get hold of a gun and it’s really downhill from there on in.
