Hello!
Has anyone tried to incorporate parts of Blades in the Dark/Scum and Villainy into other RPG systems? How’s that working for your groups?
I’m more than a year deep into my FFG Star Wars campaign, and we’re slowly transitioning more into Scum and Villainy territory. I like the idea of scoundrels trying to navigate the treacherous criminal politics of a rotten city (Nar Shaddaa), pulling off heists that could piss off the wrong (or right) people, and gaining notoriety and status in the underworld.
I haven’t been able to read or play Blades in the Dark/Scum and Villainy yet, but the concept sounds like the kind of experience I’ll be aiming for in the next story arc. However, I’d like to retain the core FFG system and my players’ characters rather than introduce them to something totally new mid-campaign.
Do you think using parts of Blades in the Dark/Scum and Villainy to simulate the people and factions of Nar Shaddaa in an ever-evolving criminal campaign within the FFG Star Wars/Genesys system will work out well enough?
