I’m about to start a Blades in the Dark online game… haven’t played since quickstart 2 or 3. I too felt the non-crime game was weak there. Having read the full rules twice now, it seems there have been great improvements. The setting is FAN-TAS-TIC. I’ll show you the massive R-maps I did of some of the warring factions, sometime.

I have a good feeling about it this time. The magic and the crafting/project rules are interesting, as is the Crew growth game, but I’m going to focus on the RP side of stuff… relationships, personal drama and such, ’cause I feel that’s where I failed last time and I think it’s the key to developing a long term game. Once they make some real enemies and real friends, it should work.

I hope. Will keep you posted.
