Hey all, it’s been a while since I posted and I’m posting on behalf of my group who are wanting to play in a murder mystery game, which i think you could reasonably adapt Blade’s mechanics to. I think there’s an Inspector playbook somewhere in the works but is there anyone who has successfully created an investigator crewtype? If not then I guess I’m looking for hands to help hack one in.

I look forward to your responses!

If any of you are familiar with the works of 07thExpansion that’s what we’re trying to emulate, but any advice on murder mystery-ing is welcome here!

It’s finally here! Australian Blades rejoice!

Has anyone tried setting Doskvol in winter for their campaign? What differences, if any, have you guys implemented either fictionally or mechanically?

Hey fellow Blades,

Once again I am impulsively running a oneshot in a public space but this time I brought friends!

We’re going to be running two pairs of simultaneous games spread between four GMs and only one of those GMs (me) have experience actually running the game. The other three have nine sessions of play under their belt and are keen to give it a shot.

Any advice for coaching these guys? I have three days to whip them into shape. 😛

Are there any good videos breaking down the rules of Blades for newbies?

So I’m looking for some ideas on a very juicy devils bargain. The skinny is that the vicious member of the crew decided that murdering a spidery npc with a lot of contacts was a good idea, and plenty of people know he did it. I’ve mentioned to my crews spider that this will probably spark a war with someone and they’re wanting to do a flashback at the start of next session where she switched Sercy (the deceased) with a body double. Since the alternative is war with a tier iii faction I figured it was worth a shot, but there should be some kind of severe devils bargain in the mix.

I wanna know what you guys think, and if you have any juicy complications for the situation. They just reached -2 with the spirit wardens so maybe there’s something fun there.

Alright so I did the Scurlock Manor thing tonight and it was awesome! My cutter literally tackled the ghost of Baston Skurlock to deliver to Oscarr, my Spider decided to make a pact with Ixis off the cuff to hunt down the secrets of the world, and my Hound decided shooting down a Spirit Warden’s “metal spider” was an excellent course of action.

I have a question tho, the ability “Ghost Fighter” specifies potency towards ghosts, but what about other supernatural like Vampires or Demons? Could the imbued Cutter be the answer to basically every crew’s question of “how the hell do we actually kill x demon?”

This is probably a question for the table but i’d love to hear your thoughts 🙂

I’m going to be running a Blades-shot at short notice this afternoon and I remembered Sean Nittner’s creepy and weird Scurlock Manor heist where you create the heist as you go. Has anyone had success running this at conventions or the like? Any tips or cool ideas? Gonna be running for some RPG first-timers so I wanna make a good impression.
