Your crew is caught up in a perilous (and possibly profitable) situation in the Crow’s Foot district.
Roric, the ward boss who ran the criminal operations in Crow’s Foot, has been killed. People say it was his second-in-command, Lyssa, who did it. She now controls Roric’s impressive gang of cutthroats, who call themselves the Crows. Can Lyssa establish dominance over the district the way Roric did?
When Roric died, the peace he had brokered between two enemy gangs fell apart. The Lampblacks and the Red Sashes have once again exploded into open war on the streets. Will their old feud finally be resolved with bloodshed?
Your crew is poised to profit from all of this, or be swept up in the chaos and destroyed. Who will you side with? Do you have loyalties and friendships in the mix, or are you detached outsiders coldly exploiting the situation?
This session is an introduction to Blades in the Dark RPG. The session runs through character generation, selecting your crew, performing a score and the after effects of your exploits. Everything you need to understand what it’s like being a member of the criminal underworld in the Dickensian, steampunk world of Duskwall.
Note: this session is repeated on Sunday morning, and not the first of a 2-part game.
