Drop Dice – Page 3 – Blades in the Dark G+ Archives

Has anyone made a Devil Generator or an API script for roll20?

So I haven’t made it very far in the series yet but a setting like Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (Netflix) could easily be be done using Blades. Just replace the words ghost and devil with fey and archfey and your pretty much done. Easiest hack ever, and you don’t have worry about the Whisper summoning a world eater.

I got a last minute group together for a session of Blades in the Dark last night. The score was a simple breaking and entering job for Lanic, the art forger. He wanted a painted that was rumored to be a Hull. The group took the 6 coins offered for the job (after shaking down Lanic a bitwhen he tried to hire them for four initially) and performed it without questions. Our Lurk successfully secured the painting while the others from the gang of smuggler used thier knowledge to temporarily open the cities Lighting Barrier. It went pretty much as bad as it could have. One of the towers they took down led to the Northhook Channel, and once the barrier was gone a mother Leviathan and her brood swam into the city channel. The city was tormented by ghosts and the Spirit Wardens and Sparkwrights were up to their ears with clean up. The crew did manage to secure 3 Ghosts for their normal trade of smuggling ghost to interested buyers in the city in addition to acquiring the asset. The city was almost destroyed and they gained the reputation of brutal, but they accomplished the mission so who cares the world had to burn to do it. There wont be anything bad in their future because of it right?

For those making hacks how are you formatting your rule sets?

For those making hacks how are you formatting your rule sets? Is there an editable character sheet/group sheet out there that has been built that can be edited?

Normally I stream Legend of the Five Rings and D&D5e, but going into the new year I am thinking about a Scum & Villiany campaign in addition to my current streaming lineup. I will also be playing Chroma Squad while discussing an upcoming blades the dark hack I am working on for Super Sentai style games (ideally ready for playtest with the new power rangers movie launch). Is Scum & Villany something people would want to watch?

Anyone else rolling on the floor in torture waiting for the games full release to begin their hacking?

Anyone else rolling on the floor in torture waiting for the games full release to begin their hacking? I have seen a few hacked games played but I would rather wait for the official version before I get to deep.

With 27 hours left, be sure to let people know if they back it they can get the main game plus 17 re-skins of the game so long as they back with 20 or higher. Maybe we can knock out this next goal.

So reading the rules it says that you explain the effect of an attack then they player decides to take the effect or stress to avoid. You have one example in there that is pretty straight forward the Death Vapor scene where its stress or die most everyone will choose stress over death, but in another example you talk about the blade digging a bloody furrow in their ribs which is not inherently lethal. What happens when the player lets the attack happen? The quick start assumes the players are going to stress out to avoid every time. Do they instead take trauma? I get that if take an injury you get a healing clock until you feel better but it seems like something is missing.

I should be joining the kick starter later this week.

I should be joining the kick starter later this week. One of the stretch goals I was hoping to see isn’t up yet. So I figure I would throw it out there, I am looking forward to seeing Razors and Stalkers Settings on the list… lol. I was hoping for those so I had a good starting point for a light-hearted hack I have in mind already.
