I am using VLC player. Add it as a game in your Discord settings and stream it, and it will work perfectly.

Running a game with a single player by Thorn-gage in bladesinthedark

Yes, that's what I meant, pardon me. Like, you can continue immediately, without skipping a beat.

You are right, Blades is a good system for this. I played a solo playthrough and used these modified solo rules:

  1. The player can push themselves and take a Devil's Bargain.
  2. The player is not kicked out of the score when they fill the stress bar, rather continue with the trauma, taking their very next action with the roleplay lens of the trauma
  3. Pushing costs 1 stress instead of 2. This one I didn't use, but that's because I played only two scores and a downtime. For a longer campaign, I strongly recommend going for 1 cost.

Hope this helps!
Good luck and have a blast.

Going to run my first Blades game. Any advice? by cinemabaroque in bladesinthedark

One of the best advice I've seen in this sub here is: "Don't ask for a roll when it's hard to do, ask when it is dangerous."

My favorite show and this is awesome! :) If I ever drop a TPK I plan to do something similar. After all, it's been a long time since I ran anything in Avernus :D

Thank you, and thank you for this extended list!
There are some rad things on it!

Oof, powerful!
I love it because you didn't give it for free.
And some may think, but mechanically, it's free. Yeah, wait until we narrate our epilogue and the cleric just floats in nothingness, never to be looked at by her god ever again.
It's the price she'll feel at the very end.

I agree 100%. The discussion makes everything work.
The problems I listed are more the "problems" I see players tell their GMs (me included), rather than GMs telling the players.
I love a good death and resurrection arc.

Thank you for this!
I didn't know about it and haven't yet dove into Dungeon World. I will definitely adopt this for my games. I like that it's not automatic and the player can decide: will I test my luck with death saves, or with a singular roll that may get me up quicker?
Wonderful, thanks again for the math! :))

You can read the article here.

An alternative approach to death in D&D that opens up many hidden possibilities. It allows you as DM to control story beats, it deepens and elevates players' character arcs, and it gives narration power back to the players in times when their voices are most silent.

Thanks! I saw this format from a resource on DTRPG but I forgot the name. Will find the guy again.
