So my crew is looking at Hawkers, but instead of something conventional like weapons or drugs they are interested in trading secrets and intelligence. I am really digging the concept. Thanks to John putting tons of little secrets in the book getting the campaign rolling will be pretty easy and it could have some dire consequences in store if they cross the wrong person. Anyone else find some different ways to look at your crew playbooks?

For anyone who wants it I have been making some basic videos for Blades in the Dark at the end of the I am trying to mention places to find more Blades content. So far I have mention itmejp, John Harper, Eric V, Distracted Elf, FriendlyFireTV, Sean Nittner, and the group as a whole. Anyone else want their favorite content mentioned? This is a work up for my own campaign starting next month on the 5th.

A Three Feet from Death update:

After talking with my partners from A Point of Inspiration, we have decided to expand the symbol reskin I was planning for Blades in the Dark. We have been feverishly working on converting a setting that we originally intended for Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition but found the system lacking for what we wanted from the game. After running Blades and watching some the great live plays we knew we had to convert the setting. That said we have been working on the map, races (hertitage), new hertigate special abilities, the lore, revamping magic to feel more spiritual ( for example you no longer attune to the Ghost Field instead you find harmony with the universe). We are also creating setting specific character playbooks and Clan playbooks.

Bonus:

One of the changes that we decided was that the prison system does not work for our setting. Instead of heat and wanted levels plans will have suspicions and dishonor. Having marks of Dishonor will make social encounters with other clans more difficult and some plans may even want to kill you. The way to cleanse dishonor is to send a person on a pilgrimage to conduct honorable Acts and regain your station or frame an enemy clan for your actions. A good pilgrimage will grant boons in the form of claims.

Excluded from the rest of the world by vast oceans and powerful typhoons, the world of Nozarashi is a grim and brutal affair. Since the Shogun disappeared the clans have been at feuding and striking out at one another. Some clans have even resorted to less than honorable tactics to gain power over the others. It is a land of mystical Tengu, reborn kami, bearers of the elemental dragon’s blood, and humans. There are heists, chases, escapes, unwise deals, duels, deceptions, betrayals, victories, and loyalty.

Can I get an example on how Tempest for the Whisper works as a weapon. Is it rolling Attune like you would a Hunt or Skirmish to cause harm basically or something more?

Tempest: You can push yourself to do one of the following: unleash a stroke of lightning as a weapon—summon a storm in your immediate vicinity (torrential rain, roaring winds, heavy fog, chilling frost/snow, etc.).

I am thinking about a Blades pbp in addition to my one shots. The one thing I am hung up on for it is blades has a lot of meta-conversation when deciding the situation and scale. For those of you that have done this before do you have an example of how you handled it, also I am curious how you do end of session stuff. I assume the best way is when the score is over I should close the scene and open up meta conversation.
