Blades in the Dark Community Site and Stretch Goal Updates
almost 5 years ago – Tue, May 21, 2019 at 02:08:51 AM

 Greetings scoundrels,  

We've got a short update today, before we make a big one in a couple of weeks!

Community Site

If you didn't catch it last time, after the demise of Google Plus we opened the Blades in the Dark Community forum here: https://community.bladesinthedark.com/

A couple of the other community sites include:

Band of Blades

Band of Blades was just sent to the printer. For the rest of May we're working on updating the playsheets and plan to release the PDF in early June.

Band of Blades is a game of dark military fantasy. Can the Legion make it back to Skydagger keep before they are overrun by the undead armies of the Cinder King? Play to find out!

More drafts on their way

  • Coneycatchers had gone from 93% complete to 100% complete and the final text is being edited now. For more about it, see Jason's post on Drip here.
  • We've received a near-complete draft of Leviathan Song and sent back feedback for revisions.
  • Bluecoats of the watch continues in beta playtesting. Judd, Stras, and Lauren are streaming a game of it on Actual Play Saturday evenings. Nadja, John, Andrew, and I ran one a little while back as well. You can catch the vods here:  The Ghoul Case and Flame Without Shadow. The next playtest kit update will add the Spirit Warden playbook and their Imperative (crew sheet), as well as the Spirit Wardens scenario for Coalridge.
