So; Turf.

What’s an example of a score a gang of thieves would use to secure some ‘ordinary’ +1 hold kind of turf? I’m actually having a bit of a mental block on what this actually would look like.

A rules question re: Resistance rolls.

When you make a resistance roll to avoid a consequence, are you then obligated to accept the stress and avoid the consequence, or can you then decide you liked the consequence better after all?

Like, lets say a character is doing the proverbial leap from rooftop to rooftop and they blow it and drop to the street below. Maybe I decide to assign them lesser harm in the form of a twisted ankle. The player decides to roll resistance, but rolls really badly – they’d take 5 stress to avoid that consequence, and that would cause trauma because the character already has some stress. Can the player decide to take the twisted ankle instead?

My instinct says ‘no’, because otherwise trauma doesn’t seem like it would happen practically ever, but I wanted to get the official word.

So. Firstly, I gotta ask.

Forgery, how the hell do a PC pull that off?

Second, if a Faction (Lampblacks) manages to complete their goal in wiping out their rivals in the Red Sashes? What happens to the stuff that the Sashes had access to? Like, the Alchemist?

I know my players are considering to grab him, but cab they do that at all? I don’t think they can afford a Specialist at the moment

Hey all

Hey all,

I wanted to back this project and get what comes with it but I couldn’t find any buttons to do so on the kickstarter page. All the tiers were there, some said they had ran out but I wanted to back one that was still there. Am I doing something wrong or is the project not receiving backers anymore?

Thanks!

So I decided to give Blades in the dark a shot tomorrow night.

So I decided to give Blades in the dark a shot tomorrow night. I read the quick start rules and I think I can do this. What advice would you give to someone running their first game of Blades? What traps should I avoid?
