Last night we did our first Blades game, it went pretty well, but it was definitely a challenging start. Character creation took a long time and crew creation was pretty challenging too. We eventually settled on playing Shadows, we had a hound, a whisper, a leach, a lurk a slide and a spider.

The part with Bazo Baz worked out good as we had already allied with the Lampblacks and our Slide was buddies with him.

Our GM had trouble figuring out where to go after the initial engagement roll. He got a good idea of where the war stash was being kept, on an old broken down riverboat and former casino in Tangletown.

Figuring out the rest of the score was super tough for him. So Im all ears for GM advice to share with him.

Been social engineering my group to get them ready to play Blades in the Dark. A few copies of the Lies of Locke Lamorra passed around has everyone really hooked. Now Im tweaking my music for running and I added like 6 songs by the Soft Boys to my mix. The Rats Prayer, Cold Turkey, I Wanna Destroy you, Queen of eyes, underwater moonlight and Strange leaped out as genre appropriate… currently everyone is devouring Beyond the Wall so Blades is my June choice I think.

Dead can Dance’s dark wave album aion seems like a good fit for Scott Lynch or Duskwall it’s pretty odd and so if you think gothy music sucks you might not be into it but there’s odd classical music throwbacks as well as eastern style chants cool beats and some neat lyrics… I like it because it’s not that obtrusive you can just put it in the background …

So my wife and I were on a ten mile hike out to Herbert glacier today (not my photo) here in Juneau, getting some much needed Vitamin D and I was brainstorming settings and mods for Blades, my Rome one will be a good fit I think but I also thought hey Stras’s military one would do great for something Napoleonic like Sharpes Rifles. I mentioned it to my wife and she joked that someone needs to figure out how to do an Oregon Trail mod. I can’t wait for the source files…
