A bearded man in a brown Nehru suit wears yellow-tinted glasses with large frames. He sits in a huge white circular chair with his legs crossed, cradling a pipe. He represents the Intellectual playbook for Blades '68, an expansion for Blades in the Dark.

One week from today we launch Blades '68!
Get ready for danger, intrigue, and unruly action under the artificial light of an electroplasmic sun.
An official expansion for Blades in the Dark.

A bud has asked for some advice on running FitD #ttrpg (specifically #BladesInTheDark) and I think for me it comes down to three principles.

1) Say "yes, but" a lot
2) Make the PCs tell you who the fuck these people are/what this fucking place is/what these pricks are up to
3) FFS tick the clock up

This is what designing with intent looks like. Great thread.

Highly recommend.

Hey, all you #motw #monsteroftheweek people

Ever had questions how to handle it if one of your players takes Past Lives as their main weird move?

So many of Hope's character moments in EGS are great examples of one way to approach it. (not the only way, obviously)

Happy birthday! Here's hoping for speedy delivery. 🎇🚀🌙

I finally got around to reading the preview and it brought back all the same excitement I felt when I originally read Blades in the Dark. I can’t wait to play with the new playbooks in the new era of Doskvol

A copy of Scum & Villainy atop a wooden desk. A spaceship blazes toward a jumpgate in a swirling nebula of red, pink, and purple. Next to the book are five six-sided dice, a sheet with stats for a spaceship, and a mechanical pencil.

May the... January 29th be with you!
Had a hard time finding a copy of Scum & Villainy? A fresh batch of books just landed in our warehouse.
The engine behind Blades in the Dark fuels this fun, legally distinct space opera ttrpg.
Available at your FLGS or direct from us:
evilhat.com/product/scum...

It is an expansion. You will need a copy of Blades or access to the SRD to cover all the rules.

This is a really fun implementation of Blades, with all the right vibes (as the kids might say). Look out for an Actual Play next month on Unconventional GMs, with mid-heist drama, underground parties and Daft Punk cosplay.

I’m gonna back this because I am pretty confident that my regular Blades group is just gonna play like it’s Austin Powers and that’s clearly going to be awesome.

Join us tonight at 8 PM EST (weather permitting!) for a brand new episode of our cyberpunk magical girl campaign NEO-N featuring @evilhat.bsky.social's Girl By Moonlight, benefiting @lasamericasiac.bsky.social!

Welcome to the future. Welcome to Garden.

What will take root inside of you?

We give @evilhat.bsky.social’s “Girl by Moonlight” a whirl with this Sailor Moon/Steven Universe-esque adventure!
