Philadelphia Scramble

A greasy spoon diner. A mysterious briefcase. An ancient grudge. A pot of bad coffee. Some punk who was really asking for a bullet to the head. Break two, and make 'em weep.

Philadelphia Scramble is a short theater LARP set in a series of three diners and three genres, each separated by a hundred years from the last. Flavor wise, think Pulp Fiction, Fargo, Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy, Seven Psychopaths, and Hard Luck: Intergalactic Art Thief. It runs somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5 hours.

Philadelphia Scramble has a prewritten setting and characters, and this zip file contains everything that you need to run the game as a GM. (Don't read these docs unless you want to GM it, it contains spoilers!) Philadelphia Scramble was first run in the Assassins' Guild in 2019, and was written by (me) Mehitabel Glenhaber and Robert Rusch.
