I created a Pinterest board of inspirational character images for my upcoming Blades game (fingers crossed for the quickstart dropping this week). I lifted some of the images from John Harper ‘s own board, but mine tend to skew to the Victorian, since what we know of the setting (gaslight, early electricity, etc.) has a more Victorian vibe to me. Anyway, hope folks find it useful.
Hey laddie, you sure you got the minerals to work on MY ship? We hunt leviathans y’know.

I have a Pinterest board for Blades now. It’s mostly costuming details to show the variety of fashions across the Empire that mix in Duskwall.

At GenCon 2014, I bought Gateway: The Book of Wizards by Sean Andrew Murray on a whim. It’s a slim art book filled with profiles of curious wizards from the city of Gateway. Gateway itself is a massive city; think “city the size of France.” So many of the images in Gateway seem like perfect inspiration for Blades in the Dark. I’ll probably adapt Gateway as the setting for my Blades game.
The link is to a Google image search. I strongly recommend picking up the book, too, because Murray does a fantastic job of world-building, too.
