The fangwheelers know how to augment certain requests and rituals using their peculiar instruments. Everyone who picks up a fang wheel and plays it feels a strange tug, and to play it well, you have to let go of some things.

Experienced players are missing eyes, teeth, fingers, ribs, sometimes entire limbs. It is a hungry instrument. But it hunts well for those who command its tones.

And, in a related question, how do you handle downtime actions for NPC factions, especially things like “seize a claim”–just say it happens, and drop it into NPC gossip? A fortune roll? Something else?

My cult just took the perk that allows their deity to appear in the real world on occasion. They are very excited to see what the god of mischief and chaos they worship will do now that it has the ability to directly interact with mortals.

Has anyone had to do this in their campaign yet? I’m curious what other approaches to godly representation there could be.

I love, love, love the horizontal (vertical?) district art on the last few pages of 7.1. What a perfect way to convey a sense of the place in all three dimensions that matter to scoundrels who will be climbing over and under and all around.

I’d love to see Tangletown in the river!

Looking up how things are going for Blades, is the version 7.1all that is available right now for packers or is there more? On the KS page there is timetable for release giving November, 2016/December 2016 for the final text, is this going to be released for backers to read?

Sorry if I have missed an update or two. 🙂

Is there any stretch goal stuff that has seen the light of day? I’m naturally most intrigued about The Doomed – being superhero fan.

Is anyone working on a Blades hack to play as a gang in the vein of Games Workshop’s Necromunda setting?

So after talking a bit with Eric Vulgaris and Kelsa about Crew upgrades. It seems that most – to many – of the Crew Upgrade advancements seem to forget that Coin is awarded everytime the XP loops over.

Not sure how many others overlook this bit in play though.
