Interest Check: Band of Blades?


Online Campaigns General Discussion


The grimdark military survival horror campaign -- inspired by Glen Cook's Black Company -- that uses the Blades in the Dark system. How many people might be interested? Parameters:

-- Must either already be familiar with BitD / BoB, or be willing to read the BoB rulebook and become familiar with it. (NOTE: the BOB rulebook is fairly massive.) I have a basic familiarity but am not fluent, so I'll want players who know their stuff.

-- Strongly preferred that you own an honestly acquired copy of the rules, whether physical or pdf. (Note that you can pick it up as part of a Humble Bundle right now and for the next week or so.)

-- If you're not familiar with it, be aware that BitD is very different from PF / D&D, and BoB pushes that difference even further. Just to mention one difference: there's no character monogamy, i.e. you would be playing several different PCs.

-- This is an RPG that has a heavy resource management / bookkeeping aspect. In between missions, you play the Quartermaster, Commander, and Marshall, determining things like how the Legion is going to find food, allocating horses, finding recruits to replace casualties, and the like.

So, trial balloon here. Would anyone be interested?

YES!!

I've been wanting to play in a BitD or BoB game for almost two years, thank you for asking! I own hardback copies of both games, and a PDF of BoB.


Well, 3-4 players are needed to make this work. Let's give it a few days and see if anyone else shows interest.

I'm not expressing interest, but I'm dropping in to say that Interest Check threads are usually found in the Recruitment forum, not here in the Online Campaigns/General Discussion forum. I imagine that fewer people browse this forum than the Recruitment forum. You may attract more interest there.


True enough. People can get riled up there -- there's an implicit assumption that a post on Recruitment is, well, recruiting. So I thought I might put a toe in the water here.

That said, yes, you're right -- I probably should post over there.

Okay, done. Let's see what happens.
