So, I was searching for plans / blueprints to use as random geographical inspiration for scores using Andrew Shields’ excellent Heist Deck. I’ve come across many examples of Victorian / Edwardian / Georgian floorplans, but this was one of the best! I’ll collate what I find into a G+ Doc and share once done. I may even draw my own versions so I can make a copyright free card deck as an Adjunct to Andrew’s deck.

Ok, so I’ve been playing a lurk in Vasco Brown’s play group, and decided to make some art to flesh out the character. This is Skeever. She’s from Tycheros, and has obvious demon-like traits (black eyes, purple-ish dusky skin, white hair). She carries light climbing gear that doubles as a utility belt, and her shadow cloak folds up into the hood/cowl, so its always within a couple of seconds of use. Her go-to weapons are throwing knives, which are carried on the sides of her torso for easy access. On her wrist is a small crossbow that she developed during downtime. Also, you can see her dark-sight goggles that she uses to sneak in and out of dark places.

If you have any questions, let me know. 🙂

I hope you all enjoy!

I´m in love with those D6 to use it with Blades! It is a shame that can not be bought separately…

The not yet finished game Ashen Falls is quiet inspiring for me.

The concept arts are very promising and gives me a kind of eery feel for a modern day blades game, which would focus more on a survival horror aspect instead of beeing supernatural powered scoundrels.

I dont know how others are seeing it but I was a bit unsure about integrating supernatural powers for each class in Blades. Its making pushing it in a kind of high fantasy direction within its dark setting which is not always working for me if not running completely gonzo with the setting (which I did and was the main critic point of my players.)

So, you all know about Andrew Shields’ Heist deck right?

Well, I took one of +Vasco Mourao’s excellent drawings and coloured it with the Tower of Holtz Clermont’s retro-fitting in mind: With lightning wall technology for protection….

If anyone is looking for some great literary Blades inspiration I wholeheartedly suggest Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Throughout the entire book I was just thinking about how it read like an amazing campaign of Blades.

This is what happens when your Leech goes too far and somehow creates electro-plasmicly-energized ‘hollows’ out of already dead bodies.

Looks like fitting inspirational material for Blades in the Dark.

So In my quest for Leviathan inspiration, I’ve been trawling deviant art and found this. Pretty epic really. Maybe the tales of yore before the advent of the ‘modern’ leviathan hunter ships.

What cool images of leviathans spark your imagination?
