Dark and Dangerous TTRPGs (III)

In December 2025, I posted about 20 RPG systems that I played that are not DnD – 10 fantasy systems, and 10 more systems that are not traditional fantasy. Since then, I’ve got to play a lot more RPGs, so it’s time for another round of mini-reviews. Not all of them are necessarily dark and dangerous, but I somehow had to come up with a distinguished title 😆

A soundtrack I wrote for the TTRPG Actual Play podcast I co-host (Lo Criti – It's in Hebrew). This is the soundtrack for our ongoing campaign "Bell Lake", about an industrial and magical city, now situated in bubbles under the waves of the lake, to protect its inhabitants from a world war. >>

Easy inspiration for a #Bladesinthedark adventure. Hulls, the dead and liberating steampunk. Part one of story on latest Podcastle podcast.

So, it looks like I'm opening another in-person table of #BladesInTheDark, I'm so excited :3 And one of the players already decided that they want to try and play Whisper!

Wrapped my first true-blue Blades campaign last night, after about 8 or 9 sessions. Enough time to get to get to Tier 1 and gain some serious territory, but I want to play more 🥺

Run Scores, Live With The Consequences: Blades in the Dark Arrives on Alchemy RPG

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.rascal.news/blades-in-the-dark-alchemy-rpg-vtt/

So, this Saturday me and my wonderful players are meeting to resume our #BladesInTheDark #TTRPG campaign.
I'm super excited, but at the same time quite anxious - it was half a year since our last game after all.
I can't wait to see where the Children of the Dawn crew (a Cult) goes next!

Running Blades in the Dark, and RPGs in general, is always fun when your players take what you've prepared and spin it in ways you hadn't thought of?
