Blades in the Dark '69/ Opening Night / Lawrenceville RPG Day

Doskvol doesn't care that you're new. In order to get anywhere in this muck, you've got to carve out a name for yourself.

Opening Night is a Blades in the Dark one-shot — the first session of an evolving campaign set in the shadow-soaked, steampunk city of Doskvol.

Your crew has no reputation yet, no claims, no favors owed. Tonight, that changes. Pick your outfit, plan your initial moves, and make your first score. Announce your presence to the myriad factions within the underworld, and see what you can stir up.

• Pre-generated characters available or bringing your own is encouraged.
• Evolving campaign with XP progression. Return for future sessions as the story (and your character options) grow
• Faction-driven world: claims, rivals, and consequences that stick around
• Drama-forward storytelling with real stakes

This is Doskvol's first night with your crew in it. Make it count.

No experience with Blades in the Dark needed. Free SRD rules are available on the Blades in the Dark website. Making characters is fairly easy, but pre-generated characters will be available just in case. Future sessions will open up building your own character as the campaign grows, hopefully in a style similar to West Marches.

Please note mature themes, violence anticipated.
