Help me figure out if Blades In The Dark is the right system for my mini-campaign?
Blades in the Royal Court – The newly wed (and apparently blissfully happy) royal couple are establishing their new court and household. But there are whispers that powerful forces are not happy with the direction that they plan to take the kingdom, and are willing to do desperate things to stop them. You play highly skilled secret agents disguised as various innocuous seeming courtiers and servants, trying to uncover the plots that would snuff out this golden age before it has even begun.
I’m aiming for a political thriller/espionage/heist sort of feel, with perhaps a dash of unconventional swashbuckling. Mini-campaign length of three sessions or so.
My first skim of the Blades rules has not given me a deep enough understanding of the system to tell whether my mini-campaign idea is a match or a mis-match.
Opinions and advice welcome. Thanks. 🙂
Edit: This would take place in a unique setting (probably based on Renaissance Europe) rather than Doskvol.
