Blades in the Dark

Auf die Wunschliste >
Ausgewählte Option:

Winner: 2015 Golden Geek, RPG of the Year

Winner: 2016 Indie RPG Award, Game of the Year (also Best Production and Best Support)

Blades in the Dark is a tabletop role-playing game about a crew of daring scoundrels seeking their fortunes on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city. There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had — if you’re bold enough to seize them.

You and your fledgling crew must thrive amidst the threats of rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, the Bluecoats of the city watch, and the siren song of your scoundrel’s own vices. Will you rise to power in the criminal underworld? What are you willing to do to get to the top?

In this stand-alone game, you’ll find:

  • Rules to create your scoundrel using the following character archetypes: the Cutter, the Hound, the Leech, the Lurk, the Slide, the Spider, or the Whisper.
  • Rules to create your crew, built from types like Assassins, Bravos, a Cult, Hawkers, Shadows, or Smugglers.
  • A robust core mechanic which puts the fiction first—the strength of a character’s position (desperate, risky, or controlled) matters just as much as the character’s ability scores.
  • A lightning-fast mechanic for planning criminal operations to cut through the usual slog of planning at the game table.
  • Rules for alchemical experiments, gadget tinkering, and weird occult powers—including rules for playing Ghosts and other strange beings.
  • A setting guide to the haunted city of Doskvol, with all the maps, factions, NPCs, schemes, and opportunities you need to run an exciting sandbox game.

OBS_mere.pngStaff Pick

Open to the fantasy city of Duskvol, haunted by ghosts and other terrors while a criminal empire is being built in the background. This game is all about choosing on the fly which makes the risk and adventure more real. There is less prep and more of a focus on making fast decisions with plenty of very cool character "classes" to take on. You'll need a GM that is quick on their feet and invested but once you find that, then the game will start to click. There are so many awesome aspects, including the combat system which seems clunky at first but once you get to play it, it runs so smoothly. The setting gives plenty of room for exploration and gives players the opportunity to dabble in all types of adventures (especially ones that lean more into the occult, which I love!). Players will feel that the game is all about teamwork and you are rewarded and encouraged to continue as a unit. Even the battle system requires operating as a unit, through the progress clock where the GM chooses the difficulty and players fill the clock with successful rolls to determine the outcome.

My favorite mechanic is the Devil's Bargain (if you want that important roll to go well and need some bonuses, it'll be at a negative cost).

It would be great if the full size preview had some pages representative of the content. I navigated here via Reddit where people were extoling the virtues of the layout design so I thought I'd take a look.

I'm watching the YouTube video of John Harper running BitD (check it out: rollplay blades). The video is great; entertaining and informative. If you have any questions about how this game plays, the video will answer them. But one thing I noticed was that the art that was used for flavor was absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, I will buy another copy of the game if you use that artist's work in the new edition.

Some years ago I downloaded a version of the players kit with a beautiful description of each districts and a cutout image of it. Does anybody know why it’s no more present on any store (and where to find it)?

Dishonored has it’s own RPG, so probably not.

This PDF (8.2) is terribly formatted. It’s difficult to follow in places, it’s so bad. For $20, I’d expect something that looks much better.

There was some update on the Kickstarter about the POD on August 15th, but it wasn't public, so I have no idea what the current status is. Some news would be greatly appreciated.

Fourthed. Current status from the August update is: it's delayed because it needed another pass, which was expected to take about a week (but apparently is taking longer or maybe another pass was needed).

I'm used to have private printings on Lulu (France) when PoD is not available here, to cut shipping. But this PDF along with many others cannot be printed that way. I don't care about this anymore, I got the hardcover book from a friend in UK, and yet the policy of some publishers is a statement about first and second class customers.

It's painfully close. John got a copy of the POD on 12/21 but it was missing the game title/logo on the cover. One more try (we hope!).

Eingescanntes Buchformat
Diese eBooks wurden durch einen tatsächlichen Scan eines gedruckten Exemplars dieses Buches erstellt; das Ergebnis wurde dann in ein PDF umgewandelt. Jede Seite wurde durch eine Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software analysiert, um den gedruckten Text zu erkennen. Das Ergebnis des OCR-Vorgangs wurde dann unsichtbar auf den Seiten platziert, damit du den Text durchsuchen kannst. Trotzdem kann es vorkommen, dass Text vor manchen Hintergründen sowie an Handschriften angelehnte Schriftarten nicht von der OCR-Software erkannt wurde - diese Texte können leider nicht durchsucht werden. Ähnliches gilt für einige besonders dicke Bücher, die umgewandelt werden mussten und daher keinen durchsuchbaren Text enthalten. Einige besonders alte und vergriffene Bücher können sogar nur in Form eingescannter Bilder angeboten werden.
