I finished alpha testing on the playbooks and some rule changes for this modern action hack. It doesn’t have crew types yet, but is playable!
ONE LAST JOB
Danny Ocean? Ethan Hunt? Dominic Toretto? They have nothing on you. Style, stealth and speed – you and your crew have it in spades.
One Last Job is a game about a group of thrill-seeking characters in a close-knit crew who swindle, steal, and shoot their way to infamy and fortune – or die trying. The game takes place in a fictional setting that looks just like our modern world.
Character playbooks include: Chessmaster, Driver, Egghead, Grifter, Infiltrator, Hitter, (Street) Magician, Spook.
Each player also defines a “Maltese Falcon” (MacGuffin) for their character so that the GM can engage the crew in character story arcs as well as the crew arc.
The Crew types will provide the opportunity play drastically different games. The crews are still in “alpha.” Cleaners (inspired by Mission Impossible and Expendables), Disposable Heroes (inspired by The A-Team and Leverage), Scoundrels in Suits (inspired by the Italian Job and Ocean’s series), The Syndicate (inspired by organized crime movies), Throttle Hoppers (inspired by the Fast & Furious series), Vagabonds (inspired by ???).

Did you know: there’s already a heist game called One Last Job

Benjamin Davis I’ll have to go with my number two name — Blade in the Darks.
Cool stuff, I like the look of it.
So would a Bunch of Bikers be Syndicate or Throttle Hoppers? And Vagabonds would be like the street clan in John Wick II? I tried to call a playbook “Cleaner” in an unfinished hack/game I tried to run some time back, and at least with those guys it caused no end of confusion. There was a good contention that they thought it was a dude that cleaned up after crimes, like the Wolf in Pulp Fiction, and not a cool slick assassin type like I had intended. Just sharing for contrast
Looks great so far. I got a few errors saying pages couldn’t be displayed but it could have just been on my end.
Greg Barnsdale Thanks — I’ve been trying to think of a better name for Cleaners. Perhaps Soldiers of Fortune, but the problem is that they are more problem solver (mission impossible) than mercenaries in a more traditional military conflict.
A Band of Bikers would mostly likely be Throttle Hoppers. The Syndicate crew type is built around the “board of directors” of a criminal syndicate. A player has two characters. One is on the Board and controls one independent facet of operations (during downtime) and the second character is a member of an elite syndicate team(with other PCs) that solves problems as directed by the Board. This is the one that will take me the most time in order to make the Board actions interesting and meaningful.
Greg Barnsdale By the way, the Band of Bikers could also be Vagabonds if they were trick performers that traveled the world…and caused trouble on the side.
Benjamin Davis So far, I can’t find an RPG called “Life of Crime.” I guess that is the new name, until I can find something more exciting.
Sounds cool.
Lord Necr0 that is a Google drive thing with large files. You need to download it first in order to view.
Id appreciate any feedback-
Eric Brunsell I like that, like gypsies or nomads or carnies or something, I like that
Greg Barnsdale carnies are definitely one of the types I was thinking of for vagabonds!
