I’m late to this party and signed back into google+ just to ask my question (which seems thematically appropriate, because, just when I thought I was out, you’ve pulled me back in).

But, based on how Action dots are assigned at character gen, it seems like it is possible to have an attribute at zero. If that is correct, how then would a Resistance roll work with that attribute?

Am I missing something profoundly obvious?

Hey folks!

If two people in a crew want the same playbook, do they have the exact same contacts? How have you dealt with this?

I got a question that’s possibly been discussed a few times already and also I know that by playing BitD we will create our own version of Duskwall, so there’s no right or wrong … but the whole leviathan blood / electroplasm / spirit essence / corpse dissolving action by the spirit wardens confuses me a little bit.

In my understanding (and I also read this blog article about lightning oil on https://fictivefantasies.wordpress.com/2015/07/07/leviathan-blood-lightning-oil-and-electroplasm/) it looks like this:

Leviathan gets hunted and drained -> leviathan blood (still alive) gets refined and in the process sucks electroplasm (or just spirit energy?) out of its surroundings -> then it becomes lightning oil / fuel … which is also called just plasm (?)

The spirit wardens take the corpses and burn them but they also use something to dissolve the electroplasm (or spirit essence? or the ghost within the body that consists out of electroplasm?) into spirit essence … or I’m not sure? I think I remember a passage in the book or in this group that said they use leviathan blood to suck the electroplasm out of the body, so it’s kind of like the refining process and has fuel as an outcome …?

When I look at all these questionmarks I have to say it looks like the opposite of understanding 😀

So, please tell me how do you depict this aspect of the gameworld in your version of Duskwall? 🙂

Hi everyone! I’m from Argentina and i’m wondering were i can get the “Broken Crown” set. I can’t find it !

I have a question about the weaknesses of other factions in the system.

I have a question about the weaknesses of other factions in the system. In the handbook, there’s an example of breaking into the Dimmer Sisters’ lair and there’s a mention of them not being “particularly strong or weak against a stealth plan” (page 130). I was just wondering if there was somewhere to find that kind of information for the rest of the factions, or if it’s something that’s decided by the GM/at the table?

Hey hivemind!

Hey hivemind! Was wondering, I want to illustrate the revolutionaries becoming better organized and armed in my Duskval, what immediately sprang to mind was military equipment of the 1920’s falling into the hands of gangsters. (Lewis guns, tommy guns etc.) but I don’t want such fully automatic weaponry. Has anyone come up with cool blades-y heavy weaponry?

Hi there

Hey hivemind!

What tools and weapons would Leviathan hunters use to take down much larger demons?

I’m planning on running a game with a few friends through Roll20.

Am I right that neither the BitD book nor the generic character sheet mention Veteran advances at all?

Odd question – How does a crew advance from Weak Hold to Strong Hold?
