Who do you use as members of the council?

Who do you use as members of the council?

Who do you use as members of the council?

The NPC’s are listed with surnames (Rowan, Clelland etc.) and are described as “scions of the six most powerful houses”. My question is, would you use the named NPC’s from other factions as members of the council, or another relation?

E.g. Commander Clelland is the Chief of the Bluecoats. Would you make him also a member of the council, or another of his family? Same for Lady Penderyn. She’s a member of the Circle of the Flame – maybe also part of the council?

I can see arguments for both for and against. What are your thoughts?

Thanks all 🙂

And I’m about to back that up in half an hour by running my first ever session of Blades. Woot! (A little nervous, though.)

To celebrate, here’s a 2014 JH quote I came across recently that I found a bit amusing:

“I expect Blades will be a larger product (by my standards, anyway), maybe a 32 page booklet or something along those lines.”

I can’t recommend Max Gladstone’s “Three Parts Dead” enough as BitD inspiration.

I can’t recommend Max Gladstone’s “Three Parts Dead” enough as BitD inspiration. Set in an industrial city literally powered by contracts with a god, where slivers of your soul are the defacto currency and defaulting on a contract can kill a divinity. Part legal drama, part mystery and altogether incredibly interesting. Am already devouring the next instalment.

So I am making a form of “Score” for my gaming group, this will mostly be run as a one-shot. And is per time of posting a WIP. I would love ideas, and some help finishing it. The document itself is mostly an overview of what has happened, and what I can improvise off of. I am sorry about the use of pictures used in this document, as I have not credited any artists (this being really only for personal use, and i have not put much effort into finding the artists)
