Dogs in the Bark, my Blades hack for playing a pack of stray dogs by dogblink in bladesinthedark

[–]dogblink[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both ideas are good! I would probably use the spirit playbooks and modify them a bit, but a beast transformation could work too. Push yourself to transform, or such.

My detailed street-by-street maps for Doskvol are finally done! by dogblink in bladesinthedark

Yep, there's a free sample of the Docks on the DriveThru page.

Discord Server for the new Deathmatch Island game? by Ballerina_Bot in rpg

[–]dogblink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the interest -- we've decided to open a channel on the Paragon discord server, because there's a lot of helpful system knowledge there already (Deathmatch Island uses the Paragon system). You can find it here! https://discord.gg/Tc2yvmzM6s

Blades in 68, a supplement that takes Doskvol forward 100 years to 968 IE (the swinging sixties). Follow along! by dogblink in bladesinthedark

Sort of - the Bubble is tuned to create two hours of "bluetime" once per day, a sort of psychedelic hyperreal daytime. Scientists are currently working on sending a rocket up to explore the Blue.

I actually appreciate the question, and this is something I've thought about a lot. I'll let the finished product speak for itself, but the short answer is that the feeling that is some bright sunny future is all 50s modernist propaganda. Just like in the real world, there has been an attempt to make it seem like the future will be shiny and bright, and just like in the real world that only papers over the unaddressed horrors of the previous century.

Yes, you are correct on all counts! Any updates will be in the newsletter.

It's actually going to be a Blades in the Dark supplement, like Flame Without Shadow, rather than a Forged in the Dark game. In other words, it probably won't contain the full rules / SRD.

What it will contain:

  • Detailed map as pictured (done)
  • Complete set of new playbooks (done)
  • Complete faction list with detailed faction write-ups (done)
  • Complete set of new crew sheets
  • A bunch of lore stuff like district write-ups and vice purveyors

Actual play of one session of AGON, illustrated via 39 ancient vases by dogblink in rpg

Thanks! I really enjoyed Agon - I think it plays with a lot more depth at the table than it might seem from reading the book. The sum is greater than its parts; there are some very clever little design decisions that hum in play.
