New Blades episode! This one is a really cool fight, plus some badass Whisper shenanigans, and some nuanced and interesting PvP. Definitely the best session yet!

Can’t wait to get my KS backer copy of the finished product! 🙂
Just wanted to express how tremendously helpful it is to have these video examples, guys. It re-psyches me up for the game every time you post these. Educational and entertaining – keep shooting fools in the face!
PS: Does anyone else see Dr. Henry Killinger from Venture Bros in place of Oskar?
Yeah, the MC move of having NPCs taking actions for players to resist is very clearly illustrated here.
John Harper, this is bound to be a dumb question, but I’m drawing a total blank : when you and Sean refer to “keys” when you start with the Exp., what are you referring to?
Keys are a mechanic for XP from The Shadow of Yesterday (one of my favorite RPGs). I use them in Lady Blackbird. The xp triggers in Blades are also a key-style mechanic.
John Harper oh yeah, that rings a bell : keys and secrets.
I never got around to playing or running tSoY but it was a damn good read, I’ll see if I can dig it up again.
Thanks!
