Diamond Geezers

In September 2000 the Millennium Dome was raided by an intrepid armed gang, who used a JCB to break in and steal the De Beers diamonds worth an estimated 220 million pounds. The Guv’nor told you to come to meet him early at the lock up, because you’re the only one he trusts, but when you got there you found him murdered. You’ve got just three questions: who killed him, who will take over the gang, and most importantly where’s the bloody loot?
Borrowing heavily from the universe of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Layer Cake and Snatch (crime movies we highly recommend you see), this short and darkly humorous game gives you the chance to release your inner East London Gangster.
There will be tea and biscuits. WARNING – there may well be character death in this game. Shooters’ll be provided by the management. Players must be 18+.
Character sheets are quite long – 8 pages are typical. Costuming appropriately is encouraged to add to the feel of the game. There are certain East end prejudices that are implicit in the characters’ views including sexism. Violence in character’s backgrounds does exist consistent with the genre, and the game includes mechanics for the escalation of violence. It is rare for all characters to survive. There will be shouting, swearing and pointing of guns in people’s faces. Quite a lot, probably.
