It's the most daring heist ever, and to pull it off we need our best...they weren't available. Instead join Bigfoot, Werewolf Teddy Roosevelt, Mothman, and Robo Stalin in the greatest live game ever.

Bigfoot & Theodore Roosevelt have teamed up to stop the villainous Mothman & Robo-Stalin from destroying the Earth countless times! In an effort to save the budget, they've taken their battle to the TTRPG realm, not as foes, but (record scratch) disguised as humans pulling off the Heist of the Century. Wait, really? What?
Game and story designed and lead by Lillian Eisenbraun (formerly of Dungeons & Bingo). The heist is randomly generated at the start of each game and the cryptids will have to not only pull off the job, but maintain a human disguise while doing so. Hijinks and shenanigans abound!
