Christmas Cheese Caper (Honey Heist Hack)

 This is a very simple reskin/rework/hack for Grant Howitt's pay what you want, one page RPG called Honey Heist.

The premise of the scenario is that once a year during the festive season there is an exclusive dinner party that is rumoured to include the greatest cheese platter ever assembled. There is not only cheese in abundance but types of cheese even the most cultured mouse has never heard of. A crack team of criminal critters has been assembled, planning to go in the night before the dinner party and get all that delicious cheese before the humans have a chance to eat it.

What you need to play this game:

* A copy of Honey Heist RPG

* Some d6 and a d8

* Some friends to play with

* Some actual cheese (optional but encouraged)

Once you have the one page pdf of Honey Heist every time you see the word "bear" or "honey" you replace it with "mouse" or "cheese" respectively. I would also read "cat" for any references to "bee". If you want to see an example of how the game is played check out Marisha Ray's one shot she ran for Critical Role.

How players generate characters

To generate a character you simply roll 3d6, use the descriptor and role lists from the base pdf. For mouse type and skill use the following list to replace the "bear type and skill" list from the base game.

1 Circus Mouse (acrobatics)

2 Sewer Rat (terrify)

3 Lab Mouse (sense cheese)

4 Junk Yard Mouse (machinery)

5 Church Mouse (sneaking)

6 Slum Mouse (chew through anything)

You then optionally roll a d8 to generate an accessory for your character to start the game with, accessories are considered to be mouse size.

1 Cigar

2 Pocket watch

3 Ski mask

4 Bow tie

5 Umbrella

6 Flat cap

7 Knitted scarf

8 A monocle

How to generate the scenario

If you want to randomly generate where the festive feast is being held roll 2d6 to get a descriptor from the base game and location from the table below.

1 Penthouse apartment

2 Country estate

3 Restaurant

4 Embassy

5 Town hall

6 Hotel ballroom

From there you use the security features table as printed and use the convention organiser table for the dinner party host. I would omit the "additional prize" table in favour of playing up the quantity and quality of cheese on the platter, feel free to run wild with your description of it and rumours of what it might contain. The "But little do the bears mice know" table also works as written.
