John Harper's Blades In the Dark Kickstarter is now live


Other RPGs


The maker of Lady Blackbird and Lasers and Feelings is back with a new RPG on kickstarter. Here

Blades in the Dark is a tabletop RPG about a crew of daring scoundrels building a criminal empire in a haunted city full of thieves. Since this is a John Harper game, you can expect an RPG that's very focused on narrative over crunch. A really really good write up and demo of play of this RPG can be found here!


I've been looking at this, but can't quite figure out the system. Is it based on something existing or a new system? I'm a bit tired so I could just be blind and not seeing where it's mentioned.


It is its own system, but it's loosely based off his "Danger Patrol" RPG. So something akin to Apocalypse World/Dungeon World.
