As soon as I decided to run Blades in the Dark I got back to the Discworld novels and started reading the novels of the City Watch of Ankh-Morpork.
In just a few hours I already fleshed out so many ideas I had an a lot of new ones. Has Discworld been an inspiration to any of you when running or playing Blades?
Ho, yuss…indeed it has. The problem lies in avoiding obvious joke characters because once they are in play everything is prone to getting silly.
Absolutely! Ankh-Morpork is as corrupt a hot bed of skullduggery as you are ever likely to find. Re-reading DW is usually what spurs me to run my off-again on-again Blades campaign instead of the usual D&D session on any given week.
