So I’ve come up with a harebrained scheme!

I’ve made my own Brainstormer wheels for Blades and am gonna get in some solo gaming using them as a GM emulator, plus a magic 8 ball app for more specific stake questions not answered by dice (avoiding the Czege principle as best I can).

I hope to follow the rule as written as a sort of playtest and GMing practice. I’ve made my main protagonist – a Hound (ex Skovish Whaler) named Thorn Egil – primarily because I want to Express my character’s flaws, obsessions, secrets, or shortcomings. 

That’s the way I hope to frame scenes… Chasing the Hound XP triggers HARD. Should be fun

Still, its so very poignant and a sombre reminder of how industry and greed can decimate any living thing. Leviathan or otherwise.

‘GM! Remember…

~Everything is broken.

~There’s not enough to go around.

~Everyone has a price.

When your players provide the opportunity…

~Set off an ambush.

~Further a rival’s grand scheme.

~A (electroplasmic) construct goes rampant.

~Highlight the downsides of being poor.

~Something vital is overlooked.

~A rival acts directly right NOW.

~A neglected part of the city crumbles/sinks/spreads.

We had a a huge hailstorm today and the electricity towers reminded me of the elctroplasmic duskwall towers…
