Hey all–I’m interested in Blades in the Dark as a system, but the ghostpunk industrial fantasy setting, while cool, isn’t what I’m looking for. Has anyone else done the work of making a slightly more setting-agnostic, or at least supernatural-free hack of Blades yet?
I’ve seen Scum and Villainy, and Blades Against Darkness, but they go off too far in other directions for what I want. I’m basically just looking for a straight Peaky Blinders-style game: old timey gangsters, doing scores, getting into trouble, and indulging vices, just like core BitD, but without all the ghosts and demons and occult stuff. (Plus, I’m spoiled by Apocalypse World’s collaborative worldbuilding–I don’t want to play in someone else’s world, no matter how cool it is!)
Has anyone seen or done anything like this yet? Any pointers if I end up having to do the hacks myself?
