Another Sunday of Blades prep at the coffee shop

We are reaching the end of the road for The Ferrymen due to outside forces

I am gonna set up the exit and see what they do

Will we come back for a season two or move on? We will play to find out

Last night The Ferrymen had to sneak out of Crow's Foot after smuggling in supplies for an ally.

They made their way through an old mine off-shoot known as "Works of Ash" where coal dust fell like rain and the spirits of the dead were becoming more and more active

I used Ironsworn Delve to chart the mine's passage and perils

The Widening Gyre (Blades in the Dark Setting)

I’ve been running a Blades in the Dark game for about a year. But I didn’t want to run it in London and I instead wanted to talk about Australia and our Victorian history and things that were closer to my bones. To aid that, I made up a world.

Below the fold is twelve thousand plus words of me talking about a made up fantasy country modelled on Australia’s history for playing in Blades in the Dark. It has no mechanical information, just world information, and discusses ways to regard factions and history.

I cannot make it clear enough that below this fold there is a very large post and you may not find it interesting.

Ready?

Okay.

GM: "What is a bomb if not backwards glue?"
Player's in chorus: "Exactly!"

Blades in the Dark Session Report:
We rescued our Patron from Ironhook, smothered the Unseen agent in Smoke Sprites, and zoomed our Stealth Airship off through a Ghost Road!
All good, apart from our Cutter losing his trousers!

So, tonight, am I playing #Starforged or #BladesInTheDark for my #SoloRPG?

One has better flow, but the other is unique and evocative.

Just appreciating #ttrpg experiences. I am several sessions into one player #Pendragon (#pendragon6 ) with my mom. Starting the Battle of Carlion against Lothians, Gorrians, Picts, Saxons and more.

And

my son joined us for #Bladesinthedark (#bitd #bitd_deepcuts ) and an exciting session zero that instantly leaped to cosmology and the unknown and arcane Iruvian and Undying Emperor connection? pact? strange bedfellows? all this and the Fractures.

Blades in the Dark Report:
We're flying a Stealth Hydrogen Balloon over Ironhook Prison to break out our Patron
But his ex-employers have sent agents to stop us. Our Cutter and Lurk are holding them off
The balloon is under attack by Smoke Sprites, corroding the sparktek engine and threatening to ignite the Hydrogen tanks
Our Whisper and Leech are holding them off
Our Hound is looking for targets.
Tune in next week to find out if we plummet to our doom!

If you haven’t tried Blades In The Dark, now is the time. Srlsly.

Blades in the Dark Session Report:
Under the guise of being flunkies to Marquis Cardamon Pertwee, potential heir to the late Lord Strangford, we snuck into the the Reserved Areas of Strangford House, to interrogate the Forgotten God guarding the Lord's Journals.
We managed to swap some information, but decided not to push our luck too far. It was asking some very searching questions.

But we managed to steal some silverware and a fancy ashtray on the way out!

I just got myself #DeepCuts expansion for #BladesInTheDark #TTRPG

Tonight's #bladesInTheDark session had a date that went so bad it nearly started a thing called the Godswar.

And people say downtime is boring in this game?

GOING LIVE! Tonight we're going to spin up a test matrix server, instead of testing on my production instance, and then we're goign to fix up my bot to be less _absolutely terrible_ at being a bot!

Side note: If you just wanna put me up in the background and tune out, I'm totally okay with that. I'm listening to some nice, delightful royalty free Pokemon-inspired music, and I've been told I have a face for radio.

#Programming #Python #OpenSource #Matrix #FediverseProgramming #DevelopInTheOpen #livecoding

Post Script: Did I mention it's a #TTRPG bot for running text-only #DCCRPG and #BladesInTheDark campaigns?

Tonight the Ferrymen return to Doskvol ... just as the Jinn's latest score kicks off and boy was it a doozy!

The Jinn summoned a demon, stole very important bell, basically changed the very fabric of the city !!!

We'll see how the Ferrymen manage in the chaos that follows

Well, Evil Hat made it a really easy decision for me not to back their latest #bladesinthedark #ttrpg crowdfunding as the physical items are USA only.

Blades in the Dark Session Report:
A simple heist - infiltrate the Supply Warehouse, poison the Cheese so that the crew of the salvage ship are struck down with "The Green Curse"!.
All goes well, until the *real* curse arrives - a half-form Tycherosi demon-engine, hungry to be made flesh!
I forced it back into slumber... for now... but it has my scent...

First real session of #BladesInTheDark tomorrow evening, I'm thrilled to see what those mischiefs will be up to

#rpg

Working on some Blades in the Dark prep today.

The random tables in the back are terrific! A few d6 rolls and you've got a fairly well realized NPC

Ran my first session zero for Blades in the Dark last night, and proceeded to reflexively not follow so much of the advice in the book. It was still fun, and didn't ruin anything-we're doing an out-of-cycle game to finish up the first score. But wow, are traditional RPG habits hard to break.
