I know the game is still quite new and spellcasters are not a feature of the default setting, but has anyone given some thought to reskinning Blades in the Dark’s Whipser playbook for Band of Blades?
I ask because I have one player in my group for whom a fantasy game without a spellcaster is likely to be a non-starter and I really would like him to be in on our Band of Blades game.

Tonight, we kicked off our campaign playing the Digital Early Edition of Band of Blades and a ton of fun was had by all!
Our Heavy downed a massive burning knight and saved a rookie from one of the knight’s undead “hounds;” our Medic dispensed alchemical goodies to his specialist companions and rallied a rookie named “Giggles” when his nerve broke; and our Sniper was infected by an undead fluke worm while setting alchemical demolition charges under a bridge and re-purposed a demo charge as an alchemical Molotov cocktail to effect the squad’s escape.
The consensus was that we will need to get back to our band of brave legionnaires again sometime soon (if for no other reason, than for them to indulge in some liberties and clear their stress).

After spending the weekend with Band of Blades, I have two questions to which I cannot seem to find answers:
1) The Scout has a piece of gear called Seals & Reliquaries, but I cannot figure out what it does.
2) How do you get ticks in your Specialist clock?
Thanks in advance for any help the community can offer!

My mind has been on zombies and soldiers all week, so, tonight, I posted a spoiler-free summary review of Off Guard Games’ inspired Forged in the Dark game, Band of Blades (or, more specifically, the Digital Early Release Edition).
The first bit of the review discusses the Blades in the Dark game mechanics, in general, and the actual Band of Blades review starts at 26:00.
I really cannot wait to get this sucker to the table.
Look what just showed up today!!!

This crew (the Shades) and the other two crews I have in Blades games (the Black Opals and the Radiant Wardens) are all operating in the same version of Duskwall, with a tentatively planned crossover to take place in early June. 🙂

I try my hand at running Blades in the Dark and fun was had by all (well, except Ulf Ironborn…).
