CodemichaelBlades in the Dark: seeking advice for running
My limited experience with playing Blades
, along with Scum and Villainy and Runners in the Shadows(?) as a character with a single DM is this. We spent a good chunk of time doing some “collaborative” world building for stuff that the DM either didn’t know, or didn’t like the systems for. It feels like the Blades system leaves a lot to the player or GM imagination, so that was our solution.
How did you find the different games compared? I am definitely eyeballing the other Forged in the Dark games.
I really like the Blades systems in general, but you are going to run into some mechanics that don’t mesh (we had issues with defining how cyberware operated in Runners for example. We didn’t run Scum and Villainy proper as we were just kind of winging it at that point, but I feel like they do a good job of letting players come up with their own ideas if a mechanic doesn’t work for them. There are also Foundry/Forge modules for Blades and subsystems. I say go for it.
