A writeup of our first session of the RPG Blades in the Dark as we take a little break from Call fo Cthulhu. Fun time, still getting a handle on the rules – a lot of improvisation required during play.

Does anyone else have an XP formula/idea for new characters joining an established group?

My working solution at the moment is that the new player’s character receives 5+n XP to spend however they like, where n= total number of sessions. The intent is that they will be generally a little behind the other PCs in terms of overall XP, but for the purposes of skills, they have a slight boost so they don’t have to compensate as much.
