If you’re not familiar with Terry Pratchett’s “The Compleat Ankh-Morpork City Guide” book, you should be. It would be another great city to play Blades in the Dark in. Comes complete with a surprisingly large and good looking printed city map. Another city that would be very easy to adapt to the BitD system.
Great suggestion!
I’d be pretty stoked to play a game set in AM. I used to play a lot of the Discworld MUD back in the day. The MUD is still around, if you’re looking to experience an old school text based game. Very supportive friendly players.
I can see the lightning barriers encircling the entire city (off of the map) just outside all of the farms that surround the old stone wall. The main river gate at the south of the city would lead out to the ocean where large Leviathan Hunter ships would have no problem traversing the water ways.
Great Idea for an alternative setting! There are a lot of interesting NPC’s, factions and possibilities in general.
I read this and bought the Compleat Ankh-Morpork and The Folklore of Discworld. Now I just gotta hack it a bit :V
Zach Lay nice! Would love to hear more about your ideas.
Frederick Münch If I come up with something worthwhile I’ll try to make sure to share! The only idea I have so far other than setting change is to replace the “Whisper” class with “Unseen University Drop-out” or “Failed Wizard”.
