SAT-03 Blades Against Darkness (Full)
Posted: June 29th, 2018, 5:29 pm
Hello there! I would love to run a game of Blades Against Darkness, the Blades in the Dark hack done by Dylan Green.
To be upfront i have not run this hack yet but have read it & gotten some words of wisdom from Dylan about how to do a one-shot with this system.
"Blades Against Darkness applies the mechanics and structure of John Harper's Blades in the Dark to the oldest and most familiar role-playing game tropes and narrative: looting ancient tombs and slaying monsters. The game is about a band of thrill seekers having Swords and Sorcery adventures in the frontier of a fantasy world. There are monsters to slay, treasure to obtain, secrets of the past to uncover and jeweled thrones to tread under your booted heels."
We play to find out which of these scenarios will happen, but also to discover if this is all there is. The world these characters inhabit is cold and has little place for dreamers or heroes. It is fundamentally broken, cruel, and vicious. Your characters are treasure hunters, mercenaries, and cultists taking any dirty job for coin. Think Conan the Barbarian meets The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
The game itself: www.drive.google.com/file/d/1BClkx4zFiZ ... nCUQ2bt7b4
