Raccoon Sky Pirates (Revised)

Raccoon Sky Pirates is a light, hilarious game of imagination, madcap chaos, and trash. If you’re looking for creative storytelling for a one-shot or short campaign, you’ll love this game.

You and your friends play raccoons: chittering, baggy-pants, ring-tailed burglars.

After building a flying ship, you hatch a scheme to fly to the suburbs in search of better trash.

Descend on a suburban house, try not to wake up the residents, and steal all their stuff. Evade the Neighborhood Watch and do your best not to explode! Embrace joyful random action and the infinite uses for trash.

Flying a ship takes coordination and discipline.

Unfortunately, you’re a bunch of raccoons.

Raccoon Sky Pirates is a tabletop role-playing game for 3 to 6 players that takes about three hours to play. Take to the skies, loot a suburban home of all the trash you can carry, and escape into the night, while trying to keep your ship from exploding.

• No prep required before you sit down to play.
• Pick your raccoon or other trash animal—possums, rats, pigeons and roaches are all available.
• Design your gorgeous, rattletrap flying ship.
• Roll to see what you do, then narrate a moment based on your roll.
• Play Complications Cards to rescue a disastrous moment—but watch out, you’re asking for trouble in the future.
• Watch the Problem Track tick up toward disaster.
• In five clearly defined scenes, fly to the suburbs, get into the house, steal everything you can, fly back to the junkyard, and divvy up the loot.

Get:

• the 32-page zine, full of whimsical drawings in lavish black and white
• 18 full-page play sheets, including large house maps
• the Deck of Complications, ready to throw a wrench into the works
• a bonus 12-sided raccoon die, with a raccoon face on the 12

“Raccoon Sky Pirates is delightfully off-kilter! It knows exactly the experience it is promising, and it delivers. Pilot a janky-ass flying trash barge! Panic and make terrible choices! Steal a shiny toaster! This is madcap fun.”
