Has anyone considered, or already started hacking, playable Ink Rakes? You’d
be investigative reporters exposing corruption and cover-ups, or taking bribes from nobles to smear opponents, supporting or denigrating striking/unionising miners, running smear campaigns and propaganda… it would be a little different, and a lot more political, then Blades normally is, but I can see it working
My table just started a crew of underground journalists; we’ll see how long it takes for them to piss off someone important.
Are you running them with an existing crew book or hacking your own?
We’re using Hawkers for now, as it was the closest match, but I suspect they’ll be pulling in things from other crewbooks as well.
I’ve actually hacked together an Ink Rake playbook and three example newspapers-as-factions.
