Marcus Shepherd – Page 2 – Blades in the Dark G+ Archives

Hello!

Due to some RL problems, the play-by-post that was happening on Google+ is now… no longer happening on Google+ (it is instead happening on www.Tavern-Keeper.com). The TLDR; is that we’re down to two PCs at the moment, so there are PLENTY OF OPENINGS for this exciting gang.

If you would like to join the play-by-post game, just comment below or send me a message. We’d love to have you!

Note that although there are currently two PCs, we’ll re-open crew decisions, although that should be done snappily you scoundrels!

Apparently described as “the harshest, darkest interpretation of Apocalypse World I have ever seen.” Seems as though it’s a horror RPG with rabbits as the PCs. As the owner of rabbits, maybe I can see from where they’re coming.

Anyone played the excellent Microprose strategy game Pizza Tycoon?

It’s kinda crossed my mind that the combination of strategy simulator and pizza restaurant rivals / underworld crossover might make a quite weird but maybe bodacious Blades in the Dark hack.

“Hey you lousy pizza maker, where’s the fire?”

In the QS, it references a CC-licensed SRD which hackers could use to create their own work later on.

Hello again

Hello again,

We’ve had a player probably drop out semi-permanently, so if anyone would be interested in joining our play-by-post game then they would be, at this stage, welcome.

Crew creation is done, so there’s limited scope to make changes there, but if you’re interested, we need a Slide to help out – we’re currently quite social heavy!

I’m not very fussy but ideally someone who could post once or twice for every couple of days would be really, really good!

Thank you!

One of my players drew a Critical Success on an action roll, to get +1 level on the effect roll. Great news so far. Then, on the effect roll, they also rolled a Critical Success.

How have others handled this event (if they’ve seen it – the odds of this happening are less than 1%)? I treated it as 6 segments of an action clock, and also getting an extra detail that they wouldn’t have got from the clock.

Don’t know if anyone has previously posted this (I couldn’t find it in the FAQ, for sure), but is the title of “favoured contact” purely in the fiction, or is there some mechanical bonus to it?

I considered giving +1d to a linked roll, but decided against it as I found nothing in the ‘ficial rules.

It’s just crossed my mind that Midgar, the decrepit, corrupt, stinking world capital of Final Fantasy VII, might make for a truly excellent Blades in the Dark unofficial hack.

We have run into a problem during Crew Creation with Thieves.

We have run into a problem during Crew Creation with Thieves. Because of our character setup, we can’t technically take “Everyone Steals”, which actually fits quite well with the fiction.

I’m pretty sure that most Lurks worth their salt would take a pip in Prowl, Slip, Secure and Finesse anyway, so if you have a Lurk in your crew it rules out this (pretty useful) Special Ability.

Furthermore, the actual text pretty much rules out ever taking this SA past Crew Creation, because later in the game surely more and more people are going to have level 0 in the required Actions and Effects.

Would it be better to just have this either (a) not have the requirement to have Level 0 in the Actions / Effects or (b) boost the max level of these Actions / Effects.

John Harper From the Slide’s “low friends”, we have “Nyryx, a prostitute”, which is the same name as “Nyryx, a possessor ghost” from the Whisper’s “strange friends”. Is this a coincidence (in which case I’m all in favour, ’cause I always think it’s weird how no two people in a TV programme have the same name), or is something very sinister at play here?
