Just a quick note for anyone working on a hack who might be stuck on what to work on next…. make a character sheet. After seeing the amazing Blood Red Clouds in the Western Sky hack here, I went to work on my own character sheet, and it really clarified a ton of things for me. Like, I had a lot of really useless actions that were much more obviously out of place when put on the character sheet.

Plus, making a character sheet is fun 🙂 If you don’t have a fancy design tool, Google Drawings is free and works really well (it’s part of google drive, go to New->More… and choose google drawing).

I want to run Blades for my RPG group, but none of us have ever played before.

I want to run Blades for my RPG group, but none of us have ever played before. I’d be the GM, since I own the book and PDF (and I DM our normal D&D game).

What’s the best way to introduce my players to this game? We’re really most comfortable with D&D, though I’ve played (but not GM’d) many other systems.

Like, is there an introductory score already set up, or quickstart somewhere to help get up to speed? I want this to be as successful as possible with my group, and I’m afraid if we all go in as newbies, and I’m the only one driving it (also being a newbie), that it’ll flop.
