Den of Wolves is a highly engaging game with a great setting and intuitive mechanics. It's a five-star game that I would recommend to anyone who wants to run megagames.

'Heist!' - £25/Pay What You Want
Player Count: 10 (Minimum 6), Requires 1 or 2 GMs
Play Time: ~4 to 5 hours
'Heist!' is an asymmetric crime caper that puts players in the roles of both a heist crew inside a bank, and the authorities outside trying to stop them. Players join one of two teams - either the misfit thieves, trying to manage the confusion within the bank and keep their team together, or the authorities, working on securing the outside of the bank and gaining key information, while managing their own internal politics.
'Heist!' is an RPG with a large player count that is inspired by megagames, and is part of a growing genre of smaller, megagame-like experiences often called 'Mini-Megagames' or 'Kilogames'. Its smaller size makes it useful for those curious about playing or running a megagame, who want something less complex and more accessible.
'Heist!' has a number of elements that are all directly inspired by megagames: asymmetric play; emphasis on simulation and narrative-based gameplay; character role-play; and a gameplay focus on player communication and imperfect information. It's an easy way to get a first taste of megagaming, or for the more experienced, it's a fun and familiar story-building game!
'Heist!' is a game with something for everyone to enjoy. Having the freedom to play a character however I wanted made each play-through unique and full of surprises. 'Heist!' is the perfect game for people who enjoy playing by thinking creatively!

Play Online
'Heist!' can be played in the traditional 'in-person' style, but it also comes with instructions for playing the game fully online, with an online set up guide and modified resources for ease of use on Discord and Roll20.
Pay What You Want
As everyone could do with some fun distractions right now, I am currently offering the game with a 'Pay What You Want' model. The suggested price is £25, but you can get the game for whatever amount you'd like. This also means that if you or a friend are looking for an opportunity to try out megagames, it's a great time to give 'Heist!' a go!
