Capers continue in the fractured city of High Hill for your crew of Scoundrels as you build your reputation and influence in the criminal underworld. Navigate the oily waters of the Low River and the seedy districts of a city whose glorious facade is starting to crack and crumble. Compete with rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, and the siren song of your own vices and trauma. Danger is around every dark corner as you build an empire with nothing but wits and luck. Do you have what it takes rise to power ? What are you willing to do to get to the top?

Blades in the Dark is a player focused game that encourages creative storytelling to explore the action and cutthroat consequences of growing a criminal enterprise. It is a great option for players brand new to tabletop roleplaying games and for those that love the cinematic action of a heist movie. This campaign is a story already in progress, so you will be joining an existing Smuggler Crew with a reputation of being Merciless. No experience is necessary to join, the game is beginner friendly as well as being designed for drop in/drop out type of play. The criminal lifestyle is inherently stressful and traumatic, sometimes deadly. Expect that characters will come and go more frequently than other roleplaying games, perhaps returning changed from their experiences or maybe dying in a gutter with a knife in their back or a toxic substance running through their veins.

What I Provide:

Upon sign up, please send me a message using the “Contact” button or through the RPG Club Discord so I can get you access to the Blades in the Dark resources folder with the Rules, Character Sheets, Crew Sheets, and Recaps, as well as your Crew’s criminal contacts and offered Scores. If you are new to the game, please message me for assistance in creating your first character and a quick overview of the rules before the session so we can jump right into the action.

What You Need: 

A webcam, a mic, and a way to roll at least 1 six-sided die (a d6, the most common die type found in most board games)

Content, Behavior, and Boundaries:

This game includes a spectrum of criminal behavior, including violence, addiction, and trauma. It is assumed that all scoundrels are morally grey and that they will commit a number of crimes in service of completing their objectives, but we will explicitly avoid anything sexually or gratuitous violence. Both are crass and while you are scoundrels, you still have reputations to uphold.

Please feel free to reach out to me with the “Contact” icon above so I can answer any questions you may have.
