A mockup of a pamphlet titled "Blades '68 Playtest Draft" featuring an illustration in tones of brown, black and red of a man in a suitcoat and tie falling headfirst from a skyscraper. One arm is sprawled out but the other is firing a gun upward out of frame as he speeds toward the ground. The pamphlet is set atop a map of Doskvol drawn in blue and red. On the left, a caption: Blades '68. Playtest sign-ups now open!
