Research Grant Applications

The crew pulls off their biggest heist yet, stealing research grant funds from the Sparkwrigths, but their cost of their academic achievement includes demonic collusion, prison sentencing in Ironhook, and Elke’s disappearance in the night…not even to mention having to share the credit with professor Danwood.

This was an extra long session with the Doskvol Spectral Society and wow was it amazing.

Players: Karen Twelves, Eric Fattig, and Adrienne Mueller

Today is the last day to pre-order the special edition!

We closed down the BackerKit last night and just realized that we never announced we were going to do that in this group! Many apologies!

To make it up, we’re re-opening the pre-orders for just one day. If you’d like to get the special edition of Blades in the Dark (with an amazing not-for-retail cover and the U’Duasha content) you can get it here until midnight tonight!

After that the standard edition hardcover will be available online and in retail stores once the book is printed!
