This’ll be a post that grows over time as we learn more about the crew. Right now, I’ll just try and summarize what we know about them from the Patreon video and other sources, character-sheet wise. I’m thinking about doing stats for the individual characters and their Actions going forward. If there’s any information I’m missing or that I have wrong, let me know!
General Background to the Show
RollPlay: Blades is using the Blades in the Dark system developed by John Harper who will also be the DM of the show.
The Crew are Assassins, operating out of a dilapidated library. Many names have been discussed, including but not limited to The Readers and The Scholars, but nothing has been decided upon.
-
They have a reputation for being Professionals.
-
They have the Deadly special ability, giving them a free point in either the Hunt, Prowl, or Skirmish actions, player’s choice.
-
As Assassins, they have access to Insight and Prowess Training. This gives them additional XP for Insight
and Prowess Training if they choose this action during downtime. -
They have also chosen the Assassin rigging upgrade, which allows them to carry more items into the field, and the Hidden upgrade, keeping their lair a secret.
-
They have a friend in Irimina, a vicious noble.
