Hm… aren’t those runes on the map in the Quickstart similar to (or maybe even from) the game-that-never-quite-happened Stranger Things? I have a couple of (well-worn) T-shirts from that still … ( http://4673.spreadshirt.com/ ). I almost forgot about that game, I was pretty interested in it at the time.
Is there any heritage from Stranger Things which carries over into Blades in the Dark, either game system or setting (or both)?
That is an awesome image…
Interesting, I checked the site though there are only sample pages of the game?
I miss Stranger Things.
Edit: Jennifer Fuss As I recall, only a few pages plus the maps exist. I don’t think it was released with much more, but I’m not at my computer to check.
It would be cool if it came back as a patreon
FUNNY FACT. I’ve never seen this thing (I discovered Harper’s work after the hayday of this had come and gone), but I have friends that still shake their fist at John’s name for this not ever seeing the light of day ^_~
I’m with Ivan on the Patreon.
It’s on my Patreon game list. ;)
And there is a connection in the settings.
Also, I’m delighted that someone recognized the glyphs. 🙂
