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?

00: The Sump Pump Stump & Thump Job

Sump Pump

👻Ghosthand (Soteris): No one told us about the dogs. The snarling monsters came out of nowhere and nearly derailed things. Terrified out of my mind with teeth deep in my ankle, I snatch the nearest ghost and manifest it, driving the dogs away. The quick effort makes my head spin and if not for my spirit mask, I'm sure that I would be near dead.

Paid

👻Ghosthand (Soteris): Amancio once again pays us what we've agreed to. He always does right by us. The Rook is violently upset that we weren't told about the dogs.

Downtime

👻Ghosthand (Soteris): I work my lawyering to reduce the heat on the Duskvol Tea Party and once that is done, I relax with a mani/pedi. Balasz is working on getting kind with the Greycloaks, so I help him out.
