Each session will last 3 hours and will be recorded. It is a one-shot playtest, meaning that the rules are not yet complete. It is a playable game however, and I am looking at specific things to playtest, so I may ask you to use a specific playbook, playbook move, or set up a specific scenario. We should still have fun, though!

Velvet Glove is a PbtA tabletop role-playing game where you play a teenage girl in a gang on the streets of 1970ā€™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 Gauntlet Inclusivity Policy will be in play and safety tools X-Card) will be in use. Anyone 21+ is welcome to play, but some topics that may come up include: drugs, teenagers having sex, racism, sexism, and violence.

This is great to see! I played in your Velvet Glove one-shot at Breakout 2018, and it was one of my favourite games of the con.

Highly recommended. Intense and personal, though, so be prepared.
