A number of PCs are approaching their various “end-games”, including one which will be the culmination of clocks hitting triple digits (total).

We’ll then set up a new crew, and start over, in the aftermath of this game.

But I thought I’d share the job names they came up with, some 34 jobs and counting, in honour of the crew, and the players’ love of pun names.

My thanks to our main PCs:

– Bug (and her ferret, Mr Snips)

– Sable “D” Kindheart (maker of… replicants?)

– Binder (who will ritually kill his tribe and bind a Leviathan)

… and the extras who the players have also played:

– Jeremy (a Danfield family retainer)

– Echo (who has had his uncle’s ghost bound to him)

– Darcy “the Nite!” (who will marry D)

– Glass (the bartender)

Those job sheets are so good for recapping a game!

After about a 2 month hiatus, my Blades group is finally going to resume next week!

After about a 2 month hiatus, my Blades group is finally going to resume next week! The Holiday Season always messes up my gaming schedule 🙁

I tend to struggle to engage the players after they’ve been away for so long. Does anyone have any hot tips for getting the action rolling? My first instinct is to just jump right back into it, but inevitably there’s gonna be dozens of questions about “what happened with this?” or “who’s that guy again?” or the worst one “why are we doing this?”

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I’m looking at running Band of Blades this week.

I’m looking at running Band of Blades this week. We’re very familiar with Blades and I’ve had a quick read-through of the 2 books. I think it’s gonna take a session or 2 to get to grips with this one regardless.

I know there’s rumour of an update coming soon so I’m wondering if it’s worth printing it all out now and starting a new game, or should I wait a bit?
