Velvet Glove: Notebook Edition (PBtA)
 |
It's the ‘70s. High school's a drag¸ and your parents are worse. There are skeezeballs that catcall you on the street¸ and teachers who wouldn't know cool if it slapped them. You live in a crummy neighborhood¸ and all the excitement seems to be happening somewhere-anywhere-else. What's a girl to do to get a little money and have some fun?
Welcome to the gang. Your girls have your back. There's drugs to be used¸ crime to be done¸ and sex to be had-if you're willing to pay the price.
-
Get real high… and open your mind to the universe.
-
Hotwire a car... and cruise the streets in style.
-
Bring the pain... and hurt them before they hurt you.
-
State your message... and let no man silence you.
We've got a place for you¸ right now¸ in this gang.
Can you dig it?
Velvet Glove is a PbtA tabletop role-playing game where you play a teenage girl in a gang on the streets of 1970's America. Take exploitation movies like Faster Pussycat¸ Kill! Kill! and Switchblade Sisters ¸ plus a little exploration of coming-of-age movies like The Outsiders¸ add in a gender twist¸ and you get Velvet Glove.
The Notebook version presented here is an aschan preview edition; it has everything you need to try Velvet Glove and learn a bit about being a teenage girl in a girl gang. Magpie Games will release a full version of Velvet Glove with more playbooks and resources in the future.
