Can someone point me to any Blades in the Dark resources or articles about the “Ghost Field” and also how the denizens of Duskwall might go about extracting and/or distilling electroplasm from spirits/ghosts/undead?
Thank you! Needed for Smuggler crew operation ideas.
Can ghosts move through solid obstacles? Walls, floors, soil, lead-lined boxes, that sort of thing.

(If this is written in the book can you please point me to a page reference please!)

This is a little tangential, I admit, but on my blog here I’ve posted about using a simple plot structure for one-shot games of other systems inspired by the Score system from Blades.

I’ve got a crew of smugglers, how do people make transport scores interesting, without making the players feel like their information gathering etc. isn’t wasted when things go wrong.
Especially when they open with a 6 on their Engagement roll.
Quick question: Does, or should, Tier affect Gather Information rolls?
Quick question: Does, or should, Tier affect Gather Information rolls? Should it be harder to get the goods on Lord Stangford than Rigney the Bartender? And if so, what would those mechanics look like?
I have been scanning this a bit for some fun slang and terms to bring Duskvol to life.

I am creating a Dossier for Blades in the Dark to compile useful documents and articles on the game.
I am creating a Dossier for Blades in the Dark to compile useful documents and articles on the game. The list will be curated to make sure if it useful. If you have any documents or articles on Blades that you think has useful information on how to play, run, understand or hack the game submit them here on the comments. All articles and documents included will be linked to in the document and therefore properly sourced and credited.
If people could write their ideas in organized ways like a blog post or google doc that would be great, discussions on forums and the like are cool but not super approachable to new or experienced people. Grab an idea, discuss it, polish it and present it.
Just stumbled onto this City of Brass site.
Just stumbled onto this City of Brass site. Seems a bit dodgy, this, having a what seems like a copy-paste job of Doskvol lore straight from the book without any reference to the original book: https://www.cityofbrass.io/wb/doskvol
Just wanted to point out that this is there, don’t know if it is kosher or not…

So I’m working on a setting for this game and I’ve got a question. The game is Robin Hood, but if Robin Hood were a heist film. Think A Knight’s Tale meets Ocean’s Eleven and Gone in 60 Seconds or The Fast and the Furious.
Think Idris Elba as Robin, a returning Iraq War Crusades veteran who takes up a lie of crime to get back what was taken from him unjustly. He coordinates with his unit’s former chaplain, Friar Tuck (played by Michael Caine because of course he is) as he tries to overcome the ghosts of his past and to redeem himself and King Richard against Prince John’s treachery.
Anyway, my question is this: What would you use to replace Attune? The game isn’t supernatural. It’s more gritty and realistic (minus the wagon and horse chases and such).
