For an entanglement after the last adventure I rolled that somebody calls in a favor. They don’t really owe lots of favors at this point, so I did a drawing from the deck. I came up with the Honorable Telia Cray, and with Dannos the assassin. For the treasure, killing without letting the victim know who you were.

Since their heat was up to 6, I figured the Inspectors might pull them in to kill an assassin the law can’t touch, and in exchange fix their Heat problem. Since I had a player who couldn’t make it, I “enhanced” their motivation by capturing the character as additional leverage.

The assassin has a cool little bit of back story, so I gave him shadow manipulation powers. I drew 3 obstacles, and got pit traps, venomous snakes, and sadists. I made up a granary lighthouse on the sea wall, had a refugee sadistic gang hanging out there serving the assassin (is he giving them power?) and put a bunch of snakes living in the broken rocks and rubbish around the area to keep them on their toes. Instead of pit traps, I made the granary lighthouse, with high levels and lots of chances to fall.

I was really happy how all of that melded into was was already going on in the game, and how the players used various elements to forward things. This game was cooler than it would have been if I had not used the deck to help me prep something for the scoundrels to do.

  1. Mmm. I see a pattern here: Want to have BinD as Hardcover but have only pdf. Want to have this deck (haptic experience!) but will have only pdf. Will save some money, so maybe, maybe … 🙂 Thanks for the quick answer! Keep up the good work.

  2. Stefan Struck The physical deck is for sale, but the shipping is pretty expensive. That’s the first link, you can check it out if you like. 

    I printed out the cards and have used them, but of course prefer the color cards with the heavier weight.

  3. Andrew Shields Bought the digital version first, then I decided to spent my money on logistics and bought the real one which I have right here. Took some weeks the ship but very cool stuff is worth the wait. Thanks for creating this.
