Interesting question for my fellow hackers out there, when naming playbooks and crews, how important is it for the name alone to communicate what that thing is about? Or do you think it is OK to lean heavy on flavor and supplement with a sub-title to say what that thing is about? Im making a thing and am attached to the flavor of this thing but I want to ensure that doesnt impede good design.

First session of Scum and Villainy resulted in my character almost suffocating in the cold unforgiving vacuum of space, and our ship almost getting blown to pieces. So It went just as it should have in other words.

My group and I came up with a small addition for Blades that in just one session has already made things way more interesting. In engagement roll section, one of the questions is “Is there a rival or enemy interfering? -1d” In an effort to encourage players to bring in their rivals to cause problems, we have added an XP trigger similar to the desperate action trigger, that grants one XP if you allow a rival to interfere in the score. Its a small addition, but it gives the players a chance to bring in parts of their characters that in my experience dont get seen very often.

Hello friends.

Hello friends. I decided it was worth a shot to go ahead and ask here, but i am looking for a group to join. My situation as far as my schedule right now is quite difficult to play consistently with a group so i havent asked in the past. I work 4 days on, 4 days off graveyard shift so I cant play on the same day every week for more than 4 weeks in a row. I really miss playing though as I havent been able to for over 6 months. If there is a group out there, or people in similar situations to myself who thinks we could work something out, I would be grateful for the opportunity to play this game once again.

I think that this is an excellent video. In light of many discussions I have seen not only around Blades, but other RPGs as well. I dont want to discourage discussion about the rules as written, but often I find that I worry to much about playing the game exactly as I feel it was intended by the developer, instead of just playing the game.

I put up a game set for GoPlayNW on the GoPlay forum.

I cant express enough how happy I am with the fit and finish of my special edition.

Ive heard tell that there might have been a shipping delay to US customers for the special editions…

Today is the day. Those special editions arrive at distribution today. So they should start shipping within a week.
