I had a question about the items. Character creation simply says to “Choose Items Carried” and the various loads, in addition, downtime also lets you choose your carried items.
I take it this means you have that entire list theoretically available to you every occasion you get to choose your items? I assume this is the case, I just want affirmation I guess.
Ive been struck with two interesting campaign ideas in the last 2 days.
Ive been struck with two interesting campaign ideas in the last 2 days… one a very ancient setting using Roman gangs and bizarre etruscan magic, with sexy witches and lots of spilled blood (because I am a huge Roman history nerd) the other a VOTOMS underground mecha fighting ring hack where Mecha Dueling teams fight it out to be the big winners of the cities illicit sports league… So excited about this…. I think Im going to take the quickstart over to our newly ressurected FLGS this weekend and try to drum up support for the KS.
It has not escaped my notice that Blades could easily be hacked to be a sports league game too with its teamwork mechanics. Anyone want to play out the Superbowl for next year?
Next Stretch Goal looks great—The Doomed: Dark Supervillains.

Awesome! On my commute home today I was just musing that this game was just begging for a good supers hack. I’m pleased that it’s up next.
Glad I was able to help it tip over the cyberpunk edge.

$400.00 from the next stretch goal… That should be surpassed tonight I reckon.

John, Im very impressed with your kickstarter campaign, your pitch, presentation and natural ability to sell. I think you have really worked hard and that has resulted in a wildly successful kickstarter.
You must be a little in shock at the success honestly because I kind of am.
Blades is the 4th highest grossing kickstarter for a game Ive backed and the other 3 were Feng Shui II the Guide to Glorantha and 13th age in Glorantha all properties which have a significant fan base. While some of the success might be Apocalypse World/ Dungeon World related I think its more because of the package you’ve sold all of us on. By the way I think this KS has enough legs to beat 13th Age in Glorantha….
or you could add a Glorantha stretch goal and poach a few Gloranthaphiles ….
Anyhow I wanted to say Im super excited to see what goals drop next.
In case any one missed it

We did a Q&A last night about Blades in the Dark. Check it out!
I just bought one of these to stamp out my clocks during play.

Each playbook gets its own list of special abilities, its own gear, its own things to do for advancement, and its own list of [adjective] friends.
Plus Cutters get different thresholds for item slots and encumbrance.
Huh. I like it, but it strikes me as a little odd. It’s a very specific thing that, unlike most other things, other playbooks can’t ever get and have no equivalent. I’d rather see it as a special ability, one that all Cutters get, and then have everyone else get some minor ability that comes with the playbook. Or something. It just seems like a stand-out oddity of the Cutter playbook.
John Harper Any chance of getting a one sentence description of each of the factions in the faction “ladder”?
John Harper Any chance of getting a one sentence description of each of the factions in the faction “ladder”? We’re doing character generation and starting our quickstart game on Thursday. I can certainly wing it, but having even a very brief descritpion would give me something to riff off of.
