The blades game Harper ran for koebel & nitter they made tattoos using leviathan blood so it could of came up in there
Cool. I made the mistake of suggesting there might be a cache of leviathan blood somewhere, and now I might have to figure out what it is worth to the characters.
Isn’t it the main source of power like whale oil in Dishonoured?
It is. Highly regulated, requires dangerous refinement to be useful.
It should be very valuable. Not onyl to harvest energy from it (requires illegal refinement as you said if you don’t want to explain the source to the authorities) but it’s used int all that “weird whisper shit”(TM) as well. Whisper use it, cults use it, drug dealers use, dilletants use it, demons may use it or want it back, noble brats use it, and so on and so on. I think it’s hard to find a Faction on the list which is not interested.
It occurs I may be overthinking it. Instead of putting a Coin value on it, I should be thinking of the value in the fiction, and have it be an asset of sorts. We have just finished our second session of BITD, and are still getting the hang of it.
Yes, to become coin there should be someone in the fiction they are selling it to. For hawkers with a similiar product that should be no problem. For thiefs maybe too if a contact is established. For other crew types that may be a problem. But always: Fiction rules. If you’re assassins with a cult/whisper as contact converting to coin may not be a problem. Well, maybe they don’t have the money not now but next week 🙂
Thanks all for the brainwork, coming from a trad background, PBTA and Blades style games are very different, but incredibly intriguing. Trying to relearn how to play is tough.
