Hey folks, we just had our session 0 last night, and I wanted to share.
As a bit of note, we aren’t in Duskvol. Using Friends at the Table, and Geekspective as guides, I brought Blades into the city from our DND campaign.
It took a lot of work, both between campaigns, and during the DND game to set the necessary framework. Thanks to that, ghosts, firearms, and weird technology has a place in our game. It wouldn’t be Blades without it.
We have a gang of 5, three from the DND campaign, one person new to role playing and one new to our table.
As we started they chose a halfling Lurk with ties to nobility, a self hating lizard man Leech, a dishonorably discharged elf Hound, a professorial tiefling with an unsavory past Spider, and the fifth player to join us chose a Whisper, but little else character wise.
This was easy, if a little time consuming.
The real fun jump was the crew. They slipped right past the more typically violent crews, and vacillated between Shadows and Hawkers. I was really nervous about Hawkers because I had no idea how to run that.
Of course they went Hawker, but when it came to product they went off the wall.
They sell the distilled essence of ghosts, using that as an opioid style drug to relive certain memories of the dead.
They do this in a den behind an art gallery front, that uses the hanging pictures as a menu of the experiences on offer.
This, I am beyond excited to run with.
We didn’t end up having time to run out first job, but I am so dang excited to get this thing moving in the next few weeks.
I’ve been plumbing this community for a while, so thanks for your help folks!
