Hey, a couple of questions about #ScumAndVillainy!

1- final version of Blades in the Dark character sheets have 4-segment healing clocks. Should I update S&V sheets?

2- last session the crew freed/kidnapped a protocol clone from the facilities of Yaru. The players may buy her as an expert crew update, but there are no rules for cohorts in S&V, so I’m importing BitD rules and using crew quality as tier. Should I encounter unexpected problems?

Fifth session of Scum & Villainy, we had an extended downtime session: techno-magical exorcisms, 80’s training montages and food-fights.

We ended up with the crew at gunpoint deep inside Yaru Headquarters in Amerath deciding to either surrender the box or shoot their way out of the cloning-facility.

But I think I never introduced the PCs!

The original cast:

Cp. Neesa “Flex” Valorum, a lizard like mystic xeno who ran away from her country life to become a smuggler. She’s currently (less) possessed by a piece of the Dragon, an ancient Way-creature.

Connor “Mad Pikey” McGreary, a wanderer and former space pirate scoundrel (and the only crewmember for whom becoming a smuggler is actually a step up to a normal life) with a penchant for lavish demonstrations of luxury. He’s the second in command who has a hard time following orders and an ambitious streak.

Impera “Nails” Tarkin, a military pilot academy dropout with a flashy fashion style and affinity for videogames.

Poe “Die” Zan, a former legionary with a disciplined demeanor except for his gambling problems.

New additions and stowaways:

None, a floating medusa-like xeno mechanic bought off and freed by the crew. They’re an endangered species on the fringe of extinction, and is their life mission to search for suitable mates to propagate the species (and probing everyone around them to detect potential prospects).

Dr. Victor, a (secretly) dysfunctional android with no concept of human pain-tolerance. He discovered a talent for gambling, its all about number-crunching.

Yesterday we had our.

Yesterday we had our… fourth? session. The crew got deep into the Belt of Fire to scavenge the Wyrm-Runner, an ancient warship from the days before the Ur-gates were discovered.

We had a cool session with the group fighting off a rival scavenging party on a dead ship, struggling to get the power back on to transport it to the local pirate den and discovering the ship is actually possessed by the Dragon, an ancient way-creature.

By the end they recovered the full ship, payed their debt to (and bought off None from) Nisa and left the Belt of Fire having struck a secret bargain with the Dragon.

Also we picked up a new crewmember!

Conspiracy theory after reading the testimonial at page 160: the powers that be let such a powerful criminal element in Doskvol to keep the underground tunnels and canals flowing with death and misery to attract leviathans to the city and keep the blood trade running.

Conspiracy theory 2: after the Unity War the leviathans started migrating to Skovlan.

We finally had our third Scum & Villainy session.

We finally had our third Scum & Villainy session. Due to scheduling issues we ended up with a two-part downtime between the second and third sessions.

Second session:

– The crew arranges a rendezvous with the Yaru in Brekk to deliver the box.

– Ct. Flex decides to ignore the meeting and reach out to Hicks, an old friend of hers, to better understand the box.

– The crew lands on Indri to visit Hicks’ Shop of Curios and after a tense research learn that the box connects to an unknown reach far off in deep space, and that they’re not the first ones to carry the artifact: it already left a trail of six spaceships destroyed in its path.

– Thugs from the Cobalt Syndicate assault the show. Die and Pikey blow up the shop while Hicks helps them escape through some underground passages.

– The Stardancer darts through the automatic spaceport, dodging heavy blaster-fire by using the power of the Way. They escape, with Hicks’ shuttle attached to the landing bay.

– Pikey remembers his days of piracy to find Censer, a cove hidden in the Belt of Fire. The crew ends up pawning the rover to buy access into the hideout.

Third session: we had some last minute player drops, but my girlfriend came to the rescue like a champ, creating a weird jellyfish, hanar-like mechanic to support the scoundrel and pilot:

– Nails goes out to look for a mechanic to repair the failing jumpdrive and damaged smuggling compartment and reaches out for Triv to ask for a trusty mechanic nearby and gets a hold of Nisa, owner of the best repair shop in town.

– Pikey follows his luxurious vice and buys a beautiful, trained space-peacock in the black market. Unknown to him, the bird carries a tracking device.

– Nails get Nisa into the ship where Pikey sexes-up a discount and work-as-payment for the repairs.

– Nisa sends her best mechanic, None, a jellyfish alien she has under indentured service to repair the Stardancer. None pleads the crew to help it escape from its imprisonment.

– Nisa assigns the mission for the crew: they must recover a derelict spaceship deep in the Belt of Fire for her. Pikey convinces her to lend them None for this job, with the intent of helping it escape.

First Scum & Villainy session with the crew. Awesome game.

We played the starting scenario for the Stardancer, escaped on the rover in hot pursuit by the Cobalt Syndicate in retrofitted forklift-bikes, psy-danced some cops and got off Warren with the box which they may or may not sell to the Yaru.
