Anyone really interested in how PC Rail Jacks will work in Blades in the Dark? I’ve been re-reading Mr. Harper’s Ghost Lines rules. Anyone run that at some point previously? No skills, unlike BitD, and the special moves you get are around your Rail Jack gear. Page four could be useful for anyone running BitD, as it gets into rumors and city-level events.
Rail jacks are specifically mentioned as NPCs that don’t get fazed by ghosts, in BitD. Whereas in the Ghost Lines rules they’re taking a hit of trauma, but obviously still able to work. Will be interesting to see how that maps, and how Train Jobs and Side Work map onto the scoundrel’s Heists.
That gear list really implies that rail jacks are always immediately identifiable, when suited up. I imagine some fairly traumatized ones staying in their gear all the time, just in case.
